2) Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly, 1977
I wanted to read this before the film comes out next month, and it's now in my PKD top five. Dick's endless fascination with unreliable realities is at last replaced with a horror of them. The PKD books I've enjoyed most are those in which his imagination engages with the real world (in this case, drug addiction) and A Scanner Darkly blurs that line admirably, being more focused than VALIS but somewhat less vital than The Transmigration of Timothy Archer. Good stuff.
