Weesam - 2015-05-26 4:36 PM I read The Man in the High Castle many years ago - and hated it. Didn't pick up another PKD until last year, when for some reason I decided to read Radio Free Albemuth - and loved it. So I've decided to give him another go with the 1960's challenge.
 

 What specifically did you hate about The Man in the High Castle? I think it's a masterpiece. Not only is it an early and original example of alternate history, but it's well written, and has wonderful characters. I love how PKD tells his story through the lives of little people. Also, pound for pound, it has an amazing amount of creative ideas in it, far more than most science fiction novels.
