Philip K. Dick's "The Cosmic Puppets".

Finally got around to reading some Dick after all the movie adaptations.

"The Cosmic Puppets" is a great good-versus-evil fantasy in a similar vein to Clive Barker's "The Great and Secret Show", so if you liked the one, give the other a read.

Dick is good. I recommend you grab some Dick yourself.

I assume Surt meant what book you're reading...although he didn't specify ...so I guess wikipedia does count. :P

Also, I'm now reading the words I am writing in this text box.

Good Omens - by Terry Pratchet & Neil Gaiman
great book so far, but not as good as Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
... then I'll be reading Valis - by Philip K. Dick
