Asking for help from Philip K. Dick fans

[eppur_se_muova]

1. I'd recommend reading them in the order they were written -- see Wikipedia

for bibliography.

It makes you more aware of how an author's work changed over his career to read them in chronological order. Dick definitely went through some changes in life, and not all of the usual variety.

Be aware that "Radio Free Albemuth", his last novel, is semi-autobiographical.

I read all of Dick's short fiction (a 4-vol. collection was published when I was in grad school) before reading his novels, so I was familiar with his life story and his, uh, unusual outlook(s). Even forewarned, I found many of his novels disappointing, and his obsession with religion just plain tiresome.
