Dick is much better at short stories than novels. The novels wander. (Not surprising considering his speed intake.) The hardcover collection Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick is excellent. His 1950's work was ahead of its time.
Although I did enjoy Valis. It's like the paranoid version of Illuminatus. Not too long either. I also liked The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - it has a very interesting take on aliens and drugs.
