this is my second time reading this, and the first time it had the honor of being the second dick book i had ever read. i was blown away and proudly declared it my favorite book, for a while. i still like it a lot, but some of the details (like the fashion sense in this idea of the future -- i know it's supposed to be satire, but i prefer not to be violently hit over the head with my satire) could be toned down a little. still, i was afraid to read it again, fears that proved unfounded.
