'The Man in the High Castle' was not the first alternative history novel, nor even the first Nazis-win-the-war novel, but it is still probably the most influential book in the genre.

'The Man In High Castle' is one of Dick's most imaginative and captivating works, and certainly one of my favorites.

In my high-minded and naive way, I believed the only books worth reading were the classics.

If you're looking for a book that's not been influenced by 21st century popular culture and that's guaranteed to be a good read because it's stood the test of time, you can't go wrong with the classics.

All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.

I have been a film buff all my life and believe that the finest cinema is fully the equal of the best novels.

The best novels are those that are important without being like medicine; they have something to say, are expansive and intelligent but never forget to be entertaining and to have character and emotion at their centre.

One novel that I think is an overriding influence in my life is 'All the King's Men,' the most beautiful book written in the U.S.

By the usual reckoning, the worst books make the best films.
