Interesting that you consider A Scanner Darkly minor. I'm guessing you're referring to the book, not the movie. Why's that? I found it to be really good- it'd probably be in my top 5 (Ubik being #1 so far).

Sorry, but it's probably been about 20 years since I read it (and most of his other work). So I couldn't give you any kind of detailed critique on it, except to say that it didn't leave much an impression on me, unlike top picks or honorable mentions.
