I finally got to reading PKD's "Ubik" this week. I think I bought the paperback like 10 years ago, but I never read it, because I hated the print quality. :D I really hate it when the text in a book is not looking crisp and sharp, but I'm a weird person I guess.

Anyways, I'm happy to report that this was probably my favorite PKD book I've read to date. What's your favorite?
