Valis starts a trilogy – one Dick didn’t complete so I don't have to either. Valis stands for Vast Active Living
Intelligence System. My opinion on this
story is: take One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest, add Dick’s thoughts on Christianity and stir in a modicum of sense
and you can take this tale back to the library or from wherever else it may
have been birthed. Dick does cite
sources from reputable authors like Will Durant's Our Oriental Heritage. Still, not sure why I keep staying with these
second-book-by-an-author or even why I start an author to begin with! Oh yes, I remember. Big winner, Tom Nissley, from Jeopardy who
wrote A Reader’s Books of Days suggested Ubik by Dick. Anyway, I feel Dick is a huge waste of my
time. Did I say I don’t like these types
of science fiction? And it’s not Tom’s
fault. Thank you Tom for other
suggestions that I have liked.
