The two Davids chat with the exceedingly busy and prolific Keith Giles about the many projects he has going on right now, including his new book, Sola Deus: What If God Is All of Us?, his introduction to and publishing of a series of Philip K. Dick short story collections, Sci-Fi Lullabies Volumes 1-3, and his upcoming 28-lesson class on PKD's philosophy of humanity and reality, The Gospel of Philip K. Dick, not to mention his 3 podcasts or his debates on Christianity from an apostate's point of view. Needless to say, this interview is packed with good stuff.

Interview #29 - Keith Giles - The Gospel of Philip K. Dick

Welcome to the You’re Making Me Read What?! podcast.

Enjoy this lively book discussion between Fairfax County Public Library Director Jessica Hudson and Deputy Director Christine Jones. They’re librarians who love a great book but almost never agree on what makes a book great. 

In this episode, they discuss Jessica's sci-fi revenge pick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. Then, join us next month for one of Christine's all-time favorites, Empire Falls by Richard Russo.

Tune in every month to find out about a new book, and maybe discover a book that you may (or may not) want to read yourself. 

You can find the Fairfax County Public Library online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library/, including links to a library branch near you.
