I'm rereading him here and there, although your plan to start at the beginning and move forward is probably the best one.<br /><br />I haven't seen Barjo, but I knew it existed. I could get it used for about $15, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, especially since it's only available on VHS.Jim Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953679196185650753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9858660.post-33155547232318730462013-01-16T08:39:27.647-08:002013-01-16T08:39:27.647-08:00Yep, I really like "Confessions of a Crap Art...Yep, I really like "Confessions of a Crap Artist." I don't know if I'd say it's his best, or even if it's my favorite (that changes from time to time). But I do like it. Have you seen the French movie "Barjo", an adaptation of "Crap Artist"? It's ok, although the book is better.<br /><br />Here's my methodology for reading/reviewing:<br />- I'm re-reading all the PKD sci-fi novels published during his lifetime. So that filters out non-sci-fi, or books published posthumously.<br />- At first I started re-reading them in any order, but after UBIK and A Maze of Death I realized I should re-read them in chronological order.<br />- I'm trying to review & post them in order of publication date, although I might skip over a few until I feel inspired to write a review.Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666661574424894941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9858660.post-83306418889543033502013-01-16T05:50:16.755-08:002013-01-16T05:50:16.755-08:00You bypassed Confessions of a Crap Artist (1959) i...You bypassed Confessions of a Crap Artist (1959) in your reading of PKD. Back in the 1960s my favorite novel of PKD was The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Then over the years I favored Martian Time-Slip. At times I'd waver between VALIS and The Man in the High Castle. <br /><br />But now think Confessions of a Crap Artist is his best novel.Jim Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953679196185650753noreply@blogger.com
