Today's Kindle Daily Deal is 14 Novels by Sci-Fi Master Philip K. Dick for $1.99 each. Be sure to double check your library if you have had your Kindle for a while, as I found three of these in different editions in my library. Which also means, of course, that my gift card balance is going to take a beating later today, when I pick up all the missing titles.

These are all published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, so I was surprised that Total Recall wasn't on the list - it's only $1.88 today (it is a short story, but they have a $4 list price on it). His best known novel, perhaps, is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the movie BladeRunner; it's published by Ballantine Books and not included in the sale. You can also find a number of his short stories for free on Amazon or at Feedbooks, Manybooks.net or Gutenberg or in collections such as The Best of Philip K. Dick (Unexpurgated Edition) from Halcyon Classics (also $1.99) and The Third Science Fiction Megapack: 26 Modern and Classic Science Fiction Tales from Wildside Press (only $0.99 and 583 pages "in print").

From Hope to Higher Ground: 12 STOPs to Restoring America's Greatness ($2.99 Kindle, B&N), by Mike Huckabee, is the Nook Daily Find: Election 2012, price matched on Kindle.

Book Description
With the small but powerfully inspiring word "hope," nationally recognized leader and policy-maker Governor Mike Huckabee points out that progress for our country cannot happen with the continued bipartisan rift dividing it. He taps into the fundamental core of every American, confronting matters closest at hand with the call for a critical change in perspective and a clear plan of action that shows what we can become as a truly indivisible nation. The governor presents 12 key things we need to STOP doing in order to make America stronger, speaking out on immigration, the job market, health care, education, and taxes, and provides practical solutions that could bring our nation to higher ground.

The Reinvention of Love ($1.60 / £0.99 UK), by Helen Humphreys, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (no US edition).

Book Description
When Charles Sainte-Beuve, a French journalist, met Victor Hugo, an ambitious young writer, he was swept into a world of grand emotions, a world where words can become swords. But Charles' attraction moves on from Victor, to his wife Ad?le. Soon the two lovers are on the edge of a great scandale and a wounded Victor must exact his price for betrayal. Set during the tumultuous reign of Napoleon III, this mesmerising novel draws a rich portrait of old Paris, where duels were fought and cholera-ridden bodies float in the Seine. An atmospheric story of delicacy and emotion, The Reinvention of Love brings together the voices of two women destroyed by Victor Hugo's ferocious ambition, and the unique, acerbic and heart-breaking voice of Charles Sainte-Beuve, first Hugo's friend and then his unlikely competitor in love.
