'The Man In High Castle' is one of Dick's most imaginative and captivating works, and certainly one of my favorites.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'The Man in the High Castle' is still the best what-if-the-Axis-had-won novel.
I love 'Richard III,' but in terms of a general play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' has always been a big one for me. It's just so sexy.
'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 best books for a man are not always those which the wise recommend, but often those which meet the peculiar wants, the natural thirst of his mind, and therefore awaken interest and rivet thought.
'Castle' is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.
My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you'll get a different answer.
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.
I have my own favorites; right now it's 'Simple Man,' but that changes from time to time.
'Boy' is one of my top-five favorite movies of all time.
'Legend of the Drunken Master' was my favorite.
