Why would an intellectual light-weight even attempt to read a book like this? And then you start a dumber and dumber thread with such posts coming from and
Philip K. Dick is Borges for midwits.
making it even dumber. Clearly the book went over your pin head like a whistle in the dark.
Please stay in your containment threads and STFU!!!!
Its kind of funny that Philip K. Dick came up with this premise. Any other writer would have written something more within expectations, but instead you get a true K. Dick novel.
A good book true but not what you expected from the premise.
Dickbros Ive read Androids Dream and Scanner Darkly and currently reading Handful of Darkness. What should I read next? Ubik is on the cards but wouldnt mind more short stories.

Excited to read VALIS. I’ve been putting it off because I wanted to read a few more of his novels first. I’ve read about 5 or 6 now. In the middle of Flow My Years then reading Man in the High Castle then I’ll finally do VALIS. With a few shorts sprinkled throughout.

I posted this and then found the Library of America collection with the whole VALIS trilogy in a used book store. The pink light guided me.
Yeah, it really was. Turned me off of Dick. He really doesn't belong in the canon of sci-fi greats. He sort of belongs in the Neal Stephenson or KS Robinson category of bad writers with high concepts.
I had Valis all ready to go, but I didn't feel like getting a headache again. Instead I read Watts' Rifters series which was highly rewarding.
Is the book better than the show? They went full woke with the last season
>Communist Black folk refuses to hoist the American flag after the Japanese defeat in the East coast >Preachy negress saying the country has never done anything good for them >Stronk karate female character kills trained secret agent easily >A bunch of israelites get gassed. they did wrong stuff but we're supposed to gloss over that.
How does the book end? The show just ends with a portal opening up to other dimensions and for some reason people are entering theirs. People that have no existing clone in their universe.
The show went full moron in season 3 because the producers fleshed out the "villains" better, so people started to empathize with the nazis more.
Jules was a moronic that constantly endangered everyone, in very first episode she leaves and that ends up killing her husband's sister and nephew, only to endager herself and Joe. The resistance was literally semites who constantly whined and whose only traits were being semites in a "evil nazi world".
Meanwhile the trade minister was busy preventing a war by maneuvering a spy, John Smith was busy dealing with his son's disease and trying to find out who set him up and when the chief police discovers who tried to kill the prince, he was willing to sodoku in order to prevent a war.
Stick to reading game of thrones
At least games of thrones gives you a reason to like both the protagonists and antagonists, this one only does that for the latter.
>gives you a reason to like
lmao have a nice day
nazi
Uh oh pseud alert!
>replace genre fic garbage with other genre fic garbage

I have to say, it was disappointing.
>I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHINESE STICKS THAT OUR REALITY IS FAKE

They look like insects. Not white people.
>They have white skin

Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Then read VALIS afterwards. Ubik is also good.

Minority report
Second variety
We can remember it for you whole sale
Faith of our fathers
Deus Irae. It's like Little Prince meets Fallout.
Seconded, it was co-written by Roger Zelazny!
Time Out Of Joint and Martian Time Slip.
The Turning Wheel
Correct. Decent enough premise, and he's good at writing beleaguered little men protagonists, but it's a confused mess with a terrible non-ending.
He talked about using the I Ching to plot it, and I believe him.

Why was it terrible?

Filtered.
Filters are useful. Now I can read good writers.
Cope harder little b***h
Dick was shit. That weirdo Heinlein shitted on him effortlessly.
>the grasshopper lies heavy
utopian tbh
Provide some evidence

I like the dirty police chief and the cryptoisraelite antique seller but god damn what a waste.
I hope the book is better.
>It was me! I was the Man in the High Castle all along!
Easily the best line in the book
Pkd was capable of precognition. No doubt about it.
Have to say I was filtered hard but I enjoyed it nontheless.
