I know - it's insane. I am constantly shocked at who, and who does not, have their own sub-forums. Very few (any?) new wave SF authors do, and it tends to be more fantasy. I think it's just the climate of the forum.

I could easily post a review for each PKD book I've read in a separate thread, but that would be silly.

A good place to start, eh?

I've been posting reviews in this thread, so you could read them and pick something that sounds interesting.

A few posts ago, I posted a rough, off the top of my head, top 10 - any of these are worth your time.

Quote:
1. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - this is my favorite PKD book
2. UBIK
3. A Scanner Darkly
4. Martian Time Slip
5. Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said
6. The Divine Invasion
7. VALIS
8. Galactic Pot Healer
9. Dr. Bloodmoney
10. Time out of Joint
I started with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in the '80s after seeing Bladerunner, and then read A Scanner Darkly next.


What do you want: more traditional, or more experimental narratives?
