Aye, his stuff can be like that. Sometimes he has a sardonic view on his own dippy mysticism, sometimes he's just away in it, sometimes he tips over from the wry self-awareness to the (very boring) seriousness and loses it. I can recall one bit in The Divine Invasion which went from very funny to yawn halfway through a sentence in one scene (and stayed yawn for some time).

I'm currently reading Valis by Philip K Dick. Fuck me it's hard going. So far it seems to be 95% twisting, turning philosophical babbling and 5% narrative.
