The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers is pretty fun in a time-travelling, spell-casting, body-swapping way though not quite as out there as Dick or Wilson.

Valis is "true"?!?!?

look it was an alright read... in all of it's forms ( the author became obbsesed with this one considerinf he thought that the laser beam had transmitted the information into his head) but I think that that was described better in "radio free albermuth". but that may just be me.

It's not that interesting of a mind fuck... it's a great read of a genius authors decent into madness ( well valis, and the other books of it's ilk) but any mindfuck that ends with the author committing suicide over it just doesn't seem like a good mindfuck to  me.

Brezny... the cross drive oracle..

I don't know that thing the guy from the world entertainment war wrote.

#1. PKD based "Valis" on his own experiences tripping on something, I forget what. He saw the phosphenes and all the weird shit.
#2. He did not commit suicide, he had a series of strokes followed by a massive heart attack.

Dr Seuss. Total mind fuck. No, seriously. When you go from drawing anti-nazi cartoons to cat in a hat? Mindfuck.

Serioulsy, you need to go read something completely different.  Or go to the light, the bright yellow one, the one they call...the sun...Your brain and your mind need a fucking break.  If you must read, I agree with Dr Suess, only read it out loud, to a child.  Seriously :wink:

Go towards the light.  There is no illuminati conspiracy.  Go towards the light.
