I was pleased with this result.

I am: Robert A. Heinlein Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Which science fiction writer are you?

I think I've read more Heinlein than any other SciFi writer.

Ah. My apologies. In "VALIS" and some other related works Phillip K. Dick translates his own name to "Horselover Fat" -- that's the name of the main character. The description of the religious quests, divorce, drugs and jail time make you expect that these are events of Dick's own life.

Apologies accepted. Some things are just hard to research by Google. :)

My personal experience with Dick's writings (as opposed to movies based on them) comprises The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, The Penultimate Truth, and a short story called "Colony." Of those, only the first was basically good the whole way thru. I was going to give him a last shot with Now Wait for Last Year, but an LJ Friend told me it's the worst case of Dick losing interest in his own story near the end.

This will give you a feel for Horselover Fat and VALIS -- it's a bizarre sort of fan-fiction, but quite close to the original in tone.

"Hussein’s restoration teams triggered a time dysfunction," Fat said. "Something they did there allowed the city to enter our time in its true form." (http://www.philipkdickfans.com/pkdweb/ReturnFat.htm)
