We Can Remember It For You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick

I haven't read this one, but I've read Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? and it was quite interesting.

Thats the one that Total Recall was based on.

Total Recall - We Can Remember It For You Wholesale
Bladerunner - Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep

Does it bother anybody else that the "androids" in that book/movie weren't androids at all?

[nostalgicBadger]

I never saw the movie, but the androids in the book were definitely androids.

[Wind rider]

They were biological but artificial in both the book and movie, if that makes sense, it was the artificial brain that defined them as androids I think, they still bled and after death it took a bone marrow test to see if they were human in the book, so they weren't androids as in robots.

[rong]

would that make them androigynous?

[Rumckle]

DADOES was interesting, but I don't think it was that great, though I saw Bladerunner first and  really liked it.

Also, may I suggest:
To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee : Pretty much my favourite book ever

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - Tom Stoppard : If plays are allowed, it is pretty damn awesome


ETA:

I strongly second (or in the case of H2G2, more like thirtysecond) these.

Not quite, but you were close.

Back to OP:

I've been able to finally sit down with Duquette's "Chicken Cabala", and I have to say, it nails down a lot of Discordian thought... In it's own way, of course.

[Eve]

I'll second To Kill a Mockingbird and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead. Also:

James Joyce - Ulysses
Thoreau - Walden
anonymous - Evasion
Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita

Will think more on this.

Thirded.

Breakfast Of Champions by Vonnegut

Promethea by Alan Moore

Sock by Penn Jillette

Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins

[LMNO]

Breakfast Of Champions by Vonnegut

Seconded, if not Slaughterhouse 5.

Also, I can't remember if anyone has mentioned Catch-22.

Breakfast Of Champions by Vonnegut

Thirded (BoC and SH5). Catch-22 was mentioned earlier and should definitely be on the list.

[hooplala]

The only reason I chose BoC over SH5 is because it seems to tackle a wider range of topics, most importantly (for me) the idiocy of humanity.  I always suggest it for people just starting to 'get it' in their teenage years.

[Eve]

Now I want to reread it.
