I got the new Blade Runner DVD at Xmas, and just re-read Androids on my PRS-500. There are actually more common elements to the two stories than I remembered, and both of them are brilliant fiction in their own way. Scanner Darkly remains the most faithful PKD movie adaptation though. I defy anyone not to shed a tear reading the postscript to that book.
I've loved PKD's books since high school - he's the great unsung genius of American speculative fiction. I'm slogging through Valis at the moment which is pretty tough. It's basically a semi-autobiographical account of PKD's mystic revelations/mental breakdown.
