I have a goal to read enough of PKD's work and life story that I can at least appreciate VALIS, if not enjoy it (So far: The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Ubik). An unreligious friend read it and, evidently, became born-again christian immediately afterward. Ever since I have been painfully curious about what in this book could possibly have precipitated such a thing.
- Trasmatta 4y agoI'd recommend The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and A Scanner Darkly. Those on top of the 3 you've read should prepare you for VALIS. > An unreligious friend read it and, evidently, became born-again christian immediately afterward Super interesting. I could see the book having that effect on somebody. Not my experience, but it doesn't surprise me that it's happened.
- alanbernstein 4y agoI appreciate the recommendations!
