When does /lit/ think it's alright to drop a book? I'm on chapter 7 (page 103) and am thoroughly unimpressed compared to the previous PKD novels I have read; those being Ubik & VALIS. There's some original and quirky concepts introduced so far, and the overarching theme of a futuristic drug-war fits his style well enough, but the characters and prose are too uninteresting and don't raise nearly as much questions or hit as hard with their mindscrews like Dick had managed with his other stories.

It is best to drop a book when you finish reading the last page.

wait for the last 4 chapters, the story takes an unexpected turn

I think its fine even on the first page. Its your fucking book after all.

If you're reading for tweests, you do get one at the end of the book. It's a superficial way to read stuff though.

You should finish every book you start, no matter how slow or bad it gets. Dropping books is a bad habit

Scanner Darkly is easily the worst PKD work I've read.

PKD is basically postmodernism. UBIK is actually quite postmodern.

I don't you ever truly "drop" a book. I've left some books half-read for a year, to finally go back and finish them. If you have good comprehension, you never really have to start a book over.
