I've only read VALIS out of those but it was a pretty
awesome account of psychosis or something.
I'm reading In Cold Blood now. I might try some proust
next. good idea y/n

VALIS is probably a pretty weird choice for my first PKD but
it looks like a great book so w/e

Proust is always a good idea. I've only read the first
volume of In Search of Lost Time and it's very beautiful and
flowy and sort of very slowly and deliberately burrows into
your brain.

I think you should try some of his earlier work, because
once you are familiar with PKDs style of writing you will
appreicate Valis a lot more.

Ubik is a good one

I just got the latest Alan Partridge book, but I also
downloaded the audio book, so I might just play it while
looking at the words.

Could be the best of both worlds.

Recently finished Dune and then went back to reading
Asimov's Complete Stories, which, incidentally, is not
complete.
