It´s not a particularly deep or meaningful book but it´s a book I constantly reread when I´m looking for pure entertainment. It´s just a rip-roaring adventure with a fantastic plot.
At least I'm housebroken.

I wasn't impressed by Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or Blade Runner for that matter. I found his writing to be really dry and devoid of any enthusiasm and the plot wasn't really up to much either.

One of his books that I would recommend is:
