Dick and other questions Hi All! Since I'm not a SF or fantasy reader (and, please, I don't really want to be schooled again on the difference), I am posing this question to people in the know (like lots of you). My son Curt just read Do Androids Dream...for a lit class and really liked it, so I was wondering if you could suggest another one or two for him. God, it was almost 10 years ago when you were giving me suggestions for my middle-school avid reader. Uggh. And speaking of time flying, does anyone have anything to say about UC Santa Barbara and Berkeley (and Stanford, but that's a little pipe-dreamy)? Those are the 3 west coast schools Curt is applying to for particle physics. Sometimes feg suggestions are the best.
