Darth Brutus's Bigger & Badder Book Diary 2022 (107 books items)

"18.1. This might just be the most extreme novel Phil K. Dick ever wrote. It's an autobiographical story about paranoia, schizophrenia and the complete downfall of one man's sanity. Nothing in the book makes any sense, but it's so full of esoteric and random information it works."
