Puttering about in a Small Land | Philip K. Dick

🌼💕 #myPKDjourney

Bookwomble I like this one. His "mainstream" books are good. 6y

Pruzy Great hashtag! 6y

dystopianaut @Bookwomble so do i! i was sort of dreading reaching the point of reading his mainstream novels- and feeling guilty about feeling that way- but i‘ve actually really liked them all! such interesting character studies. they also give such a clear glimpse into the time they were written. i only have one left now- “mary and the giant”, which i‘m currently reading. have you read it? 6y

dystopianaut @Pruzy thank you so much! i‘ve spent the last year working through PKD‘s oeuvre, hence #myPKDjourney. only 4 left to read!!! then onto his short stories. 🙂 do you have a favorite PKD? 🖤 6y

Bookwomble @dystopianaut Yes, but many years ago when it first came out in Picador, so I don't remember a great deal about it. It's the record store one isn't it? I think it draws a lot on PKD's experience working in a record shop. 6y

dystopianaut @Bookwomble yes it is! i‘ve loved reading all of his books back-to-back because it really highlights all the recurring themes, names, places, characters, etc and also makes you realize just how much he draws from his own life experiences. 5y

Pruzy @dystopianaut Yes! Now Wait for Last Year was one of my favourites, as was The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. What did you think of these two? 5y

dystopianaut @Pruzy i love both of those! my favorite PKDs are the ones where he REALLY blurs the lines of reality, constantly shifting back and forth to disorient & unnerve the reader, which he does very well in both of those. two of my other favorites for that reason are ubik (of course) and maze of death. 🖤 5y

LeahBergen Yay! 👏🏻👏🏻 I‘m so glad (and I‘ll also say “sorry” in advance; I order SO many books from them and now you might, too 😆😆). 6y

Pruzy Yes! The variety of PKD books that are available on Book Depository is amazing! Way better selection than what is available in NA! 6y

Cinfhen Yay!! Two weeks is pretty good turn around 👍🏻enjoy 😁 6y

BookwormAHN Yay, enjoy 👏🏻 6y

dystopianaut @greeniezona they were all written in the 50s/60s and were published posthumously! i‘m on a mission to read all of PKD‘s novels (currently sitting at 33/44) so i‘ve been looking for these guys for awhile! can‘t wait to read them. 😍 have you read most of his work? 6y

dystopianaut @Chrissyreadit thank you!!! can‘t wait! 😍 6y

dystopianaut @CSeydel thank you so much again! ☺️💕 6y

greeniezona Not most, but a bunch. 6y

dystopianaut @LeahBergen ohhhhh yeah, my book depository “wishlist” is already out of control. 😂😳🙈 thank you so much again!!! 🖤 6y

dystopianaut @Pruzy i had no idea! i‘ve been looking for these for awhile and couldn‘t believe it when i found them! and oh boy, the selection of different covers/editions they have of his other works...... i think i‘m in trouble. 😳😂 6y

dystopianaut @Cinfhen i couldn‘t believe they got here so fast! will definitely be buying from them again. thank you!! 💜 6y

dystopianaut @greeniezona he‘s a real gem. i can‘t get enough! which is your favorite that you‘ve read? 6y

greeniezona I found a list over on listchallenges.com (I love that site), and it appears I‘ve read 12 of his books so far, a few of them more than once, and of course, a bunch of his short stories. If pressed to choose just one favorite, it would probably be A Scanner Darkly, but I love Valis and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as well. How about you? 6y

dystopianaut @greeniezona ooooh fun, i‘ll have to check out that site! 🙂 those are all great picks! valis is fascinating, and i think by reading it you‘re able to get a lot more out of his other works... it adds another layer to everything. it‘s so hard to pick a favorite, but i think i‘d have to go with ubik. i also really love martian time-slip, maze of death, & flow my tears! 🖤 6y

Confessions of a Crap Artist | Philip K. Dick

i‘ve said it before & i‘ll say it again.... no one can start a book like PKD does. 😍💕 what are some of your favorite book (PKD or otherwise) opening lines/paragraphs?! 🖤 #myPKDjourney

greeniezona This is a great opener. This was the most recent PKD book I‘ve read, I read it over Christmas. 6y

dystopianaut @greeniezona right?! so good! PKD knows how to get you hooked within the first few sentences. one of my all time favorite book openers is a scanner darkly‘s opening! 🦟🖤 6y

Linda_Bloodworth_Author I absolutely love A Scanner Darkly. 5y

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer | Philip K. Dick

no one else in the world can start a book the way #PKD does. 🖤 #myPKDjourney

Gina Have you ever read some of his short stories in the 50's magazine Amazing Stories? I've been trying to hunt down copies I can afford. And forget the ones with H.G. Wells. I'd need to win the lottery to buy those... 6y

dystopianaut @gina no but i would LOVE to! 🖤 have you ever looked at thephildickian‘s website/facebook/ebay store? i‘m not sure if he has any or if he does how the prices would compare, but the collection he has amassed is astounding and he is always selling bits & pieces! 6y

Gina @dystopianaut thanks! 6y
