Dick, Four Novels of the 1960'shttp://readernaut.com/funkaoshi/notes/5930/And i'm done. Ubik was insane. Perhaps crazier than Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldridtch. I'll have to re-read both at some point in time. This set was so good I decided to buy the follow up anthology.

The book and the film are quite different, though they cover a lot of similar themes.

I can see why Dick is sometimes called a Pulp write. This book has some great descriptions: "frail and blonde but huge in the balcony," "There was something about her—beyond the obvious physical, anatomical enormity—that fascinated him"

I suppose the time it was written has much to do with that. (And, as I understand things, the fact Dick was probably a serious-ass addict of sorts.) The whole sequence with Leo in the Chew-D fantasy was thoroughly bizarre and enjoyable.
