delves farther into his brilliantly crazed mind than I've ever been able to attempt.
I've given up numerous times at no more than 50 pages each time.
Your summation of him as an idea man is right on; his books as a whole
can be a let down though often peppered with brilliance. Some of the SF
books were written simply for the meager income they generated.
His circumstances of a chaotic life combined with WAY too many drugs seemed to
unfocus the satisfactory completion of what could have been quite a few truly classic
works, leaving many in disarray. The few that really worked seem to have done so almost
by chance.
His strongest, most consistent works are his short stories.
His posthumous non SF novels are pretty interesting though also lacking
in the magic that makes for a great novel.
Film makers can pick at his great mind for decades and continue
to get some worthy results for us viewers.
