"Charles Freck, becoming progressively more and more depressed by what was happening around him, decided, finally, to off himself. There was no problem in the circles where he hung out in putting an end to yourself. You just bought a large quantity of downers and took them with some cheap wine. The planning part had to do with the artifacts he wanted found on him by later archeologists. He had spent several days deciding, much longer than he had spent deciding to kill himself. He would be found lying on his back, on his bed, with a copy of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and an unfinished letter to Exxon, protesting the cancellation of his gas credit card. That way, he would indite the system, and achieve something by his death, over and above what the death itself achieved. At the last moment, he changed his mind on a decisive issue and decided to drink the pills with a connoisseur wine, instead of Ripple or Thunderbird. So he set off on one last drive, over to Tiny's Liquors, which specialized in fine wines, and bought a bottle of 2001 Azalea Springs Merlot, which set him back almost seventy dollars. Back home again, he uncorked the wine, let it breathe, drank a few glasses of it, tried to think of something meaningful but could not, and then, with a glass of Merlot, gulped down all the pills at once. However, he had been burned. Instead of quietly suffocating, Charles Freck began to hallucinate. The next thing he knew, a creature from between dimensions was standing beside his bed, looking down at him disapprovingly"

Yes, I've read it, but it's the only Philip Dick's novel I've read. He wrote a lot of novels! Tell you, "A Scanner Darkly" is one of the less famous... I think "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is worth reading; Blade Runner by Ridley Scott is based on it (but I haven't even seen the movie!).

Bye!

yeah i heard that blade runner was based of that ....but i have never seen it either -:omfg:

I Was in a book store one time and went looking for a copy of "A Scanner Darkey" but i could only find "do androids dream of electric sheep" ....i was gonna buy it but opted for a copy of "a clockwork orange" instead

....i regret that now :( because a clockwork orange is a boring book - BUT - D.A.D.O.E.S. didn't look amazing either :no:

"A Scanner Darkly" is really amazing, reading it throws you in a psychedelic-headache dimension!
I borrowed it few months ago in a library, I think it's a bit rare...
Well, good luck! I hope you can find it somewhere!
