I tried to read "a scanner darkly" however I really didn't get on with it. Its a shame because it has an excellent story, but I couldn't cope with the dialogue.

Much like oscar wilde, great in tiny chunks but really hard going in the long run

But, this is of course my unqualified opinion.

"A Scanner Darkly" is really one of his minor books. You should try "Ubik".

Dick considered 'A Scanner Darkly' to be his best work.
