Well, I think there was one edition published to tie in with the movie under the name "Blade Runner" but all the ones before and after kept the original title. I think Philip K Dick died before Blade Runner was even premiered, although somehow he managed to get books published for another 6 years after his death...

Great book. Like survivor/ lord of the flies hybrid, except not stupid.

Also Read:
Lots of crap no one would care about... mainly cognitive psyc books.

Oh yeah and "The Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany". Great book.

Oh yeah, forgot about the latest Harry Potter book. Have that to read as well. That goes under the "popular fantasy" stuff though, as far as I'm concerned anyway.

And ober -- it's the spooky taco started by lordvader. Despite the number of pages, it's a quick read. Unlike NeS. Good luck with that one, I'm still up for my re-reading myself.

what is this "reading" thing of which you speak? I must admit, the concept of a book is pretty strange to me, but I may have read one or two in my life.

Quicksilver - Neal Stephenson

Yet to read:
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown(I was given it for X-mas)
