Cheers, I'll have to try em out.It started when I tried out Ubik and I really fell in love with the characters. He does really write well on a personal level as well as juggling along cerebral concepts. Flow My Tears I thought was a bit jarring at times but it seemed so good in other places that I thought it should be ripe for some sort of cinematic adaptation.

Yeah I read about that too.Was definitely interested in getting VALIS after hearing that. But it's not the plot that bothers me per se. I mean the distance the protagonist travels is a little iffy, it's just the way the twist is delivered seems a little quick. However, the ending, (which I had no idea eventually carried more weight with him than I) was really quite beautiful.
