Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
(Audiobook with Text)
Amazon.co.uk Review Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a book that most people think they remember, and almost always get more or less wrong. Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner
took a lot from it, and threw a lot away; wonderful in itself, it is a
flash thriller where Dick's novel is a sober meditation...
A Wild Sheep Chase is one of Murakami's most fantastical novels. An advertising executive, infatuated with a girl who possesses teh most perfect ears, is sent on a search for the sheep with a star on its back. This catapults him into a weird adventure to find the sheep in the wilds of Hookaido, Japan's northern island. There are strange stories, strange encounters. A Wild Sheep Chase is an early murakami work, but its remarkable and individual voice makes it one of the most compelling - and funny - of his books.
