more dick than ever

I finally finished A Scanner Darkly. Holy Christ that's a fucked up book. I mean OK, the other books of his were fucked up too but this one takes the cake. It's not really SF at all, either - it's just basically about a made-up drug and some addicts, with a healthy dash of paranoia/conspiracy theories thrown in.

And I've probably said it before, but Philip K. Dick is now my favorite author. For a while there it was Orson Scott Card, but his writing is like a child's compared to PKD. I haven't even read that many of his books, but after only two I was convinced anyway. Must must must check out more from the library.
