Dick had to rely on quantity, not quality to pay the bills, which lead to his amphetamine abuse in the first place.
So excuse him for being clunky sometimes; Writing up to two novels a month and a bunch of short stories just to get by isn't really a guarantee for GOAT prose.
Read his short stories if you want more coherency to the quality of his work and focus on his already acclaimed novels which, in most cases, where the books he spent more than a couple of months working on.

Why? Why would you make VALIS the first Dick book you read?

why Frank Herbert is better than PKD

Frank Herbert didn't fuck his brain up with methamphetamines erry day

Frank Herbert wasnt a robot

really, PKD pisses me off the way he shoe-horns the names of the 3rd century christian apologist/philosophers into his text.

PKD wasn't schizophrenic. he was just a serious methamphetamine addict. read his later works again, looking for tweaker logic. you'll see it.

also he was a robot.

he was a robot. also, all of the characters in all of his books were robots.

PKD was a robot.

did you know? once he was traveling via plane and someone stole his head. they had to build him a new one. THE ORIGINAL HEAD OF PKD WAS NEVER FOUND.

philip k dick was a robot. i thought everyone knew that. he used to joke about it and people never took him seriously.

methamphetamines.

i thought everyone know that PKD was a robot.

ignore him. PKD was a robot.

Ubik was about methamphetamine tweaking.

everything PKD wrote was about speed. and tweaking. and speed. and methamphetamines, and speed. and the Black Iron Prison, which is the Roman Empire, which never ended.

none of which matters, because he was a robot to begin with. a robot who took a lot of speed.

PKD was a robot, anyway.

pkd was a speed freak. the only reason he wrote was to make money to buy speed, and it shows in his work.

also, he was a robot.

he was a robot.

i'm still trying to work out how PKD could have been a speed freak at the same time as being a robot.

he was a robot. here's proof.

begein with the earliest titles, when he was still mainlining methamphetamines and writing fantasy stories with a thin gloss of SF so he could sell them and buy more speed. Also, PKD was a robot.

besides, EVERYBODY knows that Philip K Dick was a robot.

PKD was a robot. i thought everyone knew that.

that's not Dostoyevsky, that's Philip K Dick before he became a robot.

PKD was a robot. i thought everyone knew that.

methamphetamines.

he's not a real person. he was a robot created by MIT.
