ubik was more engaging. valis had more hidden depth. are any of the valis trilogy books good? what is his actually best work if you like mysteries?

i found VALIS tremendously sweet and sad but Ubik is probably his best. i really feel for the poor guy. a very tormented soul.

Good choice. Definitely one of my favorites. The movie was great too
>>15599461
I might have to agree with this. Ubik was just so damn entertaining. I need to reread it again
>>15599580
I loved Valis and I just started The Divine Invasion. I like it a lot so far but it pales in comparison to Valis. It doesn’t have any of the autobiographical parts or Dick as a character in this one
>>15599593
I enjoyed Flow My Tears but it wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I hated Taverner as a protagonist. I need to give Dr. Bloodmoney a read
>>15599612
I agree. I like a lot of late stage Dick novels because of how personal they were and how he used his religious experience as fuel for his writing. Very tragic person indeed

I just bought Martian Timeslip today. I probably won’t get to it soon because I’m in the middle of the Valis trilogy and I kind of want to read Time Out of Joint next but it’s on the list

Valis by far
he really poured his beautiful schizo soul into that one

He really did. I loved the novel when I read it but I didn’t appreciate it as much until I started looking into his whole life. It’s a beautiful masterpiece
