I hate that it seems the only authors I can really dig into fiction-wise is PKD and Douglas Adams. Something about their fast paced style, loose/weird tech, psychedelic, not too serious (well PKD still has some definite seriousness; but not expressed in a serious way).

I think this might be an indicator of adhd-ness. That these things grab me instantly because either I know something (usually) interesting is coming. The only PKD I've read that I've actively disliked was Timothy Archer which is comparatively tame, and nothing really comes of it compared to VALIS or Three Stigmata or Divine Invasion for example.

I've had other authors recommended based on this, but none of them really grip me the way they do. :( Maybe I just need to stick with it, like the author says - it eventually gets good. It's really hard these days as my attention span is worse than I was when I was even in my 20s (all those years ago).
