Philip K. Dick
In order to improve my English, I decided to read raw(original - the words have similar meanings but "original" would be correct here) English books, without adaptation for students. Long ago I've tried to read some classics like Galsworthy or Kipling. And I could understand just a little("I could understand only a little" Your sentence is correct but does not feel natural). So, I thought, science fiction is the(a) better choice for me.
Philip Dick is an american science fiction writer of the middle of the 20th century(of the mid 20th century). He is not good as a writer. His books are not like stories, but more similar to reports. For me this is more (of an) advantage, as I am not (as) good at English and I (am) looking for simplified and straight language.(simple and straightforward language)
But Philip's(in standard written English we would refer to the author by their surname, "Dick's") stronger part is inventing stories, where space, time and consciousness are deeply entangled. Thus, there are many films shoot by his stories(made from his stories / adapted from his stories). You see, for (an) exciting sci-fi film it is important to have an unsual(unusual), unpredictable storylines. My favourite films are "A Scanner Darkly" and "Blade Runner". There are also famous films like "Total Recall" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Minority Report" of Stephen Spielberg(Minority Report directed by Stephen Spielberg / Stephen Spielberg's "Minority Report), "Screamers" with Peter "robocop" Weller and others.
And there are no my favourite books still(unsure of what you mean here), as I've read only five for now(I've only read five so far). I liked most the "Time out of joint" which story(where the story / alternatively begin a new sentence: "The story is...) is very close(similar) to (the) film "The Truman's show" with Jim Carrey.
And can you write in Russian about Russian books you've read?
Hey! Your English is good so far. Most of the corrections I made make your writing feel more natural. I am able to understand what you were saying, and that's the most important thing. Keep practising!
