|author= Philip K Dick
|title= Humpty Dumpty in Oakland
|rating= 3.5
|genre= Literary Fiction
|summary= Dick is known primarily as a science fiction writer, most famously for the novel that spawned the film ''Blade Runner''.
I read that novel - [[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]] - when I was about ten or eleven, a good ten years or so before the film came out and – to be fair – a good five years or so before I was fully capable of understanding the philosophical and ethical issues embedded in it. Not before, however, I was capable of asking the kind of questions that would get me the kind of answers that form my standpoint on those issues.

|summary= The collapse of the Victoria Embankment uncovers a passage to an unknown realm beneath the city. Langdon St. Ives sets out to explore it, not knowing that a brilliant and wealthy psychopathic murderer is working to keep the underworld's secrets hidden for reasons of his own. St. Ives and his stalwart friends investigate a string of ghastly crimes: the gruesome death of a witch, the kidnapping of a blind, psychic girl, and the grim horrors of a secret hospital serve the strange, murderous ends of perhaps St. Ives' most dangerous nemesis yet.
