Hello everyone! I am a new Kindle owner as of this week and am loving it so far. Makes everything so much easier and now I don't have to worry about my books taking up so much room.

Anyways, I saw Inception this past weekend and absolutely loved it and was wondering if anybody else who had seen it could recommend some books that were similar in subject matter (invading people's dreams) or reminded them of Inception.

I like your question! I had already Googled to see if this movie was based on a book and found that it is not, it was written as a screenplay. Too bad.
I can't get enough of the movie so I was hoping there was a book similar but I have done some searching and I haven't found one. Guess that speaks to Christopher Nolan's originality and talent.

There's a Graham Masterton series "Night Warriors" which involves a team going into people's dreams to hunt the powers of darkness

Night Warriors
Death Dream
Night Plague
Night Wars
The Ninth Nightmare

I always thought they'd make a really cool movie.

This was going to be my suggestion as well. I'm not surprised someone else beat me to it. Dick was a master at posing the question 'What is reality?' Ubik is a masterpiece of mid-twentieth century scifi.

The Lathe of Heaven is excellent. I saw a poor movie adaptation a few years ago. Get the book. Another hole in kindle availability, waiting to be filled.

Yes, Phillip K. Dick is what you're looking for!

Also, Ursula K. Leguin's The Lathe of Heaven would be perfect -- it's about a man whose dreams can alter the nature of reality -- but it's not on Kindle. :(
