I'm only 40 pages in to this and I'm as bored as fuck wanting to put it down and read something more fun. This is my first Philip K. Dick book.

Does it get better?

Try to read it for the philosophy. Otherwise, yeah, it's a shitty book.

>something more fun
Yeah, stop reading. It's thought provoking stuff, but if you want 'something more fun' definitely read something else. You might like Harry Potter

Yes, but not much better.
I'm not much into sci-fi, but it's an interesting book.

I read a few of his books when I was a teenager. Haven't read him since. Sci-fi doesn't do anything for me and he's supposed to be "good" sci-fi.
