OK, first let’s get one thing out of the way – this is a great book, and it’s absolutely irrelevant if you label it “science fiction,” “alternative history,” or whatever. Except for the purposes of book marketing, who cares anyway? The bottom line is that Philip K. Dick was too complex and intelligent a man for his work to be pinned down into any one genre. And who would want it to be?!? On one level, or course, “The Man in the High Castle” is – at least on the surface and on the jacket cover – about an alternative time line in which America loses World War II (with the Nazis taking over East of the Mississippi, the Japanese West of the Rockies, and the middle being a kind of backwater/no-man’s land). But what is this book really about? My conclusion after reading the book, as well as many of the reviews here and out there on the web, as well as some stuff about Philip K. Dick, as well as talking to a really smart friend of mine who has read the book many times, is that this book is about several main themes, and can be read on several different levels (as most great works of fiction can be).
Thus, in my opinion “The Man in the High Castle” is about, among other things (in no particular order): 1) the lives of Americans under Japanese occupation; 2) the lives of the Japanese occupiers, and especially their interaction with various Americans – white, black, Jewish; 3) the Japanese-German relationship, and the difference in Japanese and German culture; 4) what is the nature of “reality”?; 5) what is “authentic” and what is “fake”?; 6) what constitutes a moral life?; 7) culture and national identity; 
how does one remain true to one’s self/ideals, especially when it isn’t easy to do so; 9) what is sane and what is crazy, especially in a highly confusing world without clear black-and-white moral choices (in other words, OUR world!)?; 10) the concept that there is some fascist within all of us, and how easy it is for fascism to settle in comfortably to “middle America”; 11) the place of the artist, artistic freedom, and artistic courage; 12) the connection between art and the “real world”; and 13) a relatively deterministic (i.e., Hegelian, the I Ching) view of the way history works (in which humans are essentially pawns) vs. one in which things are NOT preordained and in which actions (or lack thereof) by individuals can play huge roles. Whew! That’s more to think about in one book than you’ll get in several books of popular fiction put together!
The bottom line: Philip K. Dick is a genius, and this is possibly his greatest book (although another one of his books is better known because it was made into the movie “Blade Runner”). Read it now…you won’t soon forget it!

Layer Cake – JJ Connolly
Our narrator’s too smart to tell you his name (“if I [did], you’d be as clever as me”), but he’s not afraid to tell you everything else about the “layer cake” — London’s intricately arranged constellation of underworld fiefdoms. He’s a drug dealer who’s planning to retire on his thirtieth birthday — after one last great score — to a life as “a gentleman of leisure.” Only problem is his boss, the crime kingpin “don” Jimmy Price, has other plans. He can walk away from the life for good only if he can track down a runaway daughter for Jimmy’s old friend.
Complicating matters are two million top-grade Ecstasy tablets that were robbed from a factory in Amsterdam by a renegade outfit in Jimmy’s employ who are now looking for someone to offload the ill-gotten loot. With an angry mob of German neo-Nazis in hot pursuit, and all crosses and double-crosses leading back to Jimmy, our narrator finds he may have to negotiate a new exit strategy to finally get his slice of the cake.
With a rich supporting cast of dozens of characters, from Tommy Garret, aka Billy Bogus, a grifter with an uncanny gift for impersonation, to Sir Alex, chief chemical taster and a “boy who knows his drugs,” Layer Cake is a gripping, linguistically inventive thriller.

Hooking Up – Tom Wolfe (2000)
Hooking Up ranges all over the modern world; in it Tom Wolfe updates us on the sexual manners and mores of teenagers (he is not adverse to doing a survey of teenage address books to find out exactly how many of them don’t know the names of the boy/girl they’ve just hooked up with). From this he moves effortlessly to an investigation of the fundamental ways in which our lives and self-perceptions have changed, living as we do in a modern world of genetic engineering and neuroscience. There are pieces on “sting T.V.” as well as forecasts of radical changes sweeping the world of the arts. Hooking Up closes with the legendary, never-before-reprinted pieces about The New Yorker and its famously reclusive editor William Shawn, pieces which early on helped win Wolfe his matchless reputation for reportorial bravura and spot-on insight. A glorious, questioning, memorable book, Hooking Up shows Tom Wolfe at the very top of his form.
Read by Tom Wolfe and Ron Rifkin
Alan Titchmarsh – Only Dad (2001)
From the immensely popular bestselling novelist and presenter of Ground Force comes another deliciously entertaining novel filled with Alan Titchmarsh’s trademark blend of humour and romance.
According to their friends, Tom and Pippa Drummond have the perfect existence — a great lifestyle, a lively marriage, and a great kid in Tally. In their late thirties, living in a converted barn on the edge of the Sussex Downs, Tom is a partner in “The Pelican”, a restaurant in Axbury Minster, and Pippa, after a short career as a cook, grows herbs for sale locally and brings up sixteen-year-old Tally — a lively blonde with her head screwed firmly on to her shoulders.
A rare summer holiday is planned — an idyllic retreat in the Italian hills. Tom takes time off from the restaurant, Pippa leaves her herbs in the charge of a dotty neighbour, and Tally takes a break from the two men in her life – fast-living Alex and the plodding, persevering “Blip”.
Tuscany is everything they hoped it would be — cicadas in the trees, the scent of sage and citrus and suppers under the stars. But their joy is short-lived. Overnight their lives, their circumstances, their very identities are altered, and life will never be the same again. From being the envy of their friends, the Drummonds are plunged into a world that nobody would wish upon them.
