Free Download | Valis | Philip K. Dick Novels

This novel is to me one of those things that you want people to understand, you want people to see in it the same things you do. It hurts me that this thing that I love so might be considered insignificant to someone else. Such is the nature of our experiance. VALIS will expose you to many interesting ideas regarding philosophy, religion, and reality. It is not the end all be all with regard to these things, but more a good primer. I don't follow the "zaney romp" or "fools search for God" school of thought on this book at all. It is quite funny, but I find the subject matter at its heart to be very serious and compelling, as one would expect the search for God to be. Phil Dick isn't joking around here. I don't have the words to convey to you all that VALIS means to me. I guess I can only say that touched me, moved me, made me laugh, and frightened me, and does so every time I read it. I become sad whenever I finish it, knowing I'm no longer participating in Horselover Fat's quest.
