I really liked Valis, despite the weird poetry (there was poetry, right?
it's been a long time since I read it) and that guy obsessed with his
cat was really funny. Also, the basic concepts behind Ubik and Eye in
the Sky are quite interesting and appropiate for UA

Damn, that's one I haven't read it. Must check it someday.
