[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

July is hot, and we need a short book! I am nominating Fahrenheit 451

[Kevin]

I second A Scanner Darkly.

[Stephanie]

Third, A Scanner Darkly! I love 451, but I've read it more than Scanner.

[Traci]

I've never read A Scanner Darkly. Never seen the movie. And love Phillip K Dick. :)

[Laz]

Well since there is also a Classic selection, I'll offer something newer here. How about This Is Not a Game, which is an interesting spin on social networks etc. Or perhaps Spindoc which is a little more futuristic.

[Kevin]

I first read Dick starting with A Scanner Darkly in high school for English.
My teacher was a big fan of Dick, the book being of his all time favorites, but stopped teaching after film came out, I was in the last class that he taught the book to.

[Sonia]

I'd definitely go for Fahrenheit 451. Love it and would love to read it again.

[Brian]

How about Man on a High Castle also Philip K. Dick.

[Paul]

i nominate A Maze of Death by Dick

[mark, personal space invader]

yeah for A Maze of Death! i love that one and would love to re-read it.

[Riona]

I just read A Maze of Death a month or so ago and really enjoyed it.

[Jenny]

One of the Philip K. Dick books will have my vote.

Only one nomination Laz! pick one of them and I will add it...

You guys-by nominating so many different PKD books, you will dilute the vote!

[Candiss]

I'll help mix things up by nominating a recent-ish (2010) book that also happens to not be written by PKD. ;)

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

[Leon]

I nominate The Good and Evil Angels.

The only current review here on goodreads isn't very encouraging, but I, and the reviews over at amazon can vounch for it's quality.

Also, because only one user has rated it so far, our reviews Will paint the entire picture.

I tried to see if The Good and Evil Angels is easy to find or not...it looks like it is out there, albeit kinda spendy for a paperback, but I will add it to the nominations for you...

[Kevin]

I would like to nominate When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger.

Last call for nominations! Nominations ends later tonight!
