Over a half century ago, I received the book via the Science Fiction Book Club. At about the same time, I read a review of it in Analog (FKA Astounding) by P. Schuyler Miller saying something like, “Here, I suspect, is the Hugo Award winner for the best science fiction novel.”
I attempted to read it, was bored, and set it aside. I attempted the same thing 50 years later and the result was the same. The book remains on my bookstand awaiting another attempt.
I was, however, able to read The World the Jones Made, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich (twice!), and Ubik (that some consider his masterpiece).
I guess I’m doing something wrong. :)
I’ll be impressed if you wait another fifty years.
I agree.
I read all sorts of Dick back in the day. Only this book did I find dull and don’t remember finishing it.
