The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch | 
so-soI know it's a genre classic and is appreciated by many. Despite its engaging language and pace, the narrative has numerous logical gaps, unresolved plot threads, and a murky ending. Though it explores intriguing concepts, none are fully developed. Furthermore, its misogyny, especially considering the era of its publication amidst second-wave feminism, is particularly jarring. One wonders if the author ever ventured beyond his hovel.

Transports us to a life on Mars almost as terrible as remaining here!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

pickI just don't even know where to begin with this craziness....In the future there exists a drug called Can-D. If you chew this while in the presence of what is called a PP Layout, you are mentally transported into the layout. The layout is basically a bizarro version of Barbie and Ken and their Dreamhouse. (PP stands for Perky Pat.) Totally bonkers. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
PKD is so great. He rarely disappoints. I‘ll be sad when I‘ve read his entire canon.
“I mean, after all; you have to consider we‘re only made out of dust. That‘s admittedly not much to go on and we shouldn‘t forget that. But even considering, I mean it‘s sort of a bad beginning, we‘re not doing too bad. So I personally have faith that even in this lousy situation we‘re faced with we can make it. You get me?” -Philip K. Dick, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch 🖤 #philipkdick #myPKDjourney
these are a few of my favorite things. 📚🌵💕 any other dickheads out there? i‘m currently working through the complete #philipkdick oeuvre and am obsessed with these colorful @hmhbooks editions. 😍 #myPKDjourney

Disembodied eyes & mouth surely counts. I am mad for Philip K. Dick. The two books I read by him, "Ubik" & "Dr. Bloodmoney" are both among the best of their kind (mind bending interrogation of reality in one & post-apocalyptic in the other) that I've read. I have a pile of unread PKD & I am looking forward to experiencing them.
Some number-in-title books for the #septphotochallenge 🤓 I have yet to read Catch-22 and Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but of course they're on my TBR! #somethingforsept
