Was tempted to answer Dick or Herbert. I found Herbert quite easy to read. Hellstron's Hive was pretty good, although I think it was one of those reads slightly outshone by his more famous title. Dick, it's hard to say, I found, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and others I've picked up quite hard to read, I think that was being influences by movies.
Quite into Jeff Noon. If you don't know him, I think Pollen is his most read book. It's one of those books that requires a fair amount of unbroken attention to get into it, and hard to explain. It's set in the UK, as I remember.

This is another new author to me. I just have to get to the bookstore ASAP. Unfortunately, they do not accept bitcoin!

I have the same thoughts when I peruse bookstores. I bought a few Bitcoin titles at the first conference I made it to this year. My only regret was not buying more, as there were a lot of ancilliary topics and titles.
We need a robust p2p second hand book market.

If you are into Science Fiction, Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore will pick out books and send them to you. You can ask for books of any kind or specific books. When I was living in Japan, I had them send me boxes of perhaps 50-75 books at.a time. They also do Uncle Edgar’s Mystery Bookstore. They are totally independent.
