I'm pretty curious about which PKD it will be focusing on. There would be reasons to explore all his different phases.

Agreed, Lance. We're gonna do some book club reading activities and see what's the most appealing way to approach this. One option is to do themed weeks--like one week alternate history, another week split identity stuff, another, VALIS period craziness, etc.

Or we work on all of different tropes and depending on the show, get a different kind of PKD that night. Still thinking all that through.
