My favorite SF short story writers (in no special order):

I'll second Ubik. I also enjoyed Flow My Tears..., The Man in the High Castle, Clans of the Alphane Moon, and The Simulacra. A lot of his more known works to a general audience are short stories, so I would also recommend getting a collection of those. That might even be the best place to start now that I think of it. This book has a lot of the popular stories like Minority Report, Total Recall (We Can Remember It For You Wholesale), The Adjustment Team, etc. Good place to dive in.

Reading through this collection of PKD short stories it's amazing how many ended up getting turned in to major sci-fi hits in the last 10-20 years. After I recognized the first couple ones, I started to wonder when I started each new story if it was some famous movie, or if maybe someone was working to turn it in to another hit right now?

I would recommend starting with PKD's short stories if it appeals to you. You can find a lot of collections out there that contain all the short novellas NOT in his bibliography. some of his shorts are seriously his best work, and much easier to take in. "the skull" for instance or Foster your dead.

^^ I Have this book here, and it's great!, there are others.

Well if you haven't yet, I'd encourage you to read the book for Man in the High Castle. If you like Dick's style you should also pick up a book of his short stories. This is the one I got about fifteen years ago, albeit an older edition. Check with wikipedia and after you finish a story you can watch the movie that was based on it (so many of them get turned into movies)).

Short stories are always a good place to start with an author, and Phillip K Dick's are especially good in my opinion.

I don't know if I've read that one. I have the collection with a blue and white swirly cover, and I've read several of his books. This is wonderful news, I have more Philip K Dick to read.
