I could never get through Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. It may simply have been the wrong book at the wrong time.

Looking back through this thread, and will note that if you're only going to meet one SF writer, Donuel, Douglas Adams was a good one!

I picked up a couple of Octavia Butler books but haven't started any of them yet. Last year I reread Good Omens; there's always new stuff in it with each reading.
