The true canonization of Dick has begun -- the library of America collection is awesome.

I'm also a big fan -- I've read, well, except for a couple of the early unpublished novels that are impossible to find, basically all of it. And the short stories, the letters, blah, blah . . .

I've always told people to treat the books like roller coaster rides w/o guard rails -- you never quite know if it's going to get to end of the ride w/o sailing off the tracks, but that's the kick. And to look for the humanity of the characters amidst all the absurdity -- deep down PKD is an amazing, questioning, philosophical humanist.
