Finished VALIS last night. Loved it. A Scanner Darkly is my next PKD along with a book of interviews with him.

Is Dune worth reading? What about Brave New World?

When does /lit/ think it's alright to drop a book? I'm on chapter 7 (page 103) and am thoroughly unimpressed compared to the previous PKD novels I have read; those being Ubik & VALIS. There's some original and quirky concepts introduced so far, and the overarching theme of a futuristic drug-war fits his style well enough, but the characters and prose are too uninteresting and don't raise nearly as much questions or hit as hard with their mindscrews like Dick had managed with his other stories.
