Philip K Dick is weird. I think either you like him or you don't. He is one of my favorites, but I can't tell you why, though I don;t care for his later stuff. Dick was deep into drugs for awhile and was heavily enfluenced by the drug culture - A Scanner Darkly comes directly from this. Martian Time slip I think is one of his more straightforward science fiction novels. Some of his stuff is just outright bizarre. After you've read a good bit of his stuff, you are helped by being more familiar with Dick and that makes it easier to appreciate his weirdness.
