Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I borrowed a few Philip K Dick ebooks from the library. Just finished Man in the High Castle, gonna read A Scanner Darkly next.
I like it because I'm into some aspects of 60s Sci fi but Heinlein and Herbert aren't as fun to me for some reason. Dick seems like it's an easier read, even if the themes make you think.
Ooh I have read Man in the High Castle & A Scanner Darkly!
Have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade Runner's OG)? For some weirder stuff of his, there's Three Stigmata of Edward Palmer.
I'd also recommend Arthur C Clarke's Oddyssey series.
I'd recommend you Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, but it might be heavy for you (considering you don't like Dune). IRobot is a lighter read. For the more obscure stuff: The End of Eternity.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was the first of his novels I read! I've heard a lot about the foundation series and might check it out. And oddly enough I've never read any Atthur C Clarke. Lemme see what my library has! Thanks for the recs.
