You can find PKD paperbacks for very cheap (in middling to poor condition) in most used bookstores that have a sizable SFF section. Best place to start would be one of the short story anthologies. Probably the one with Minority Report in it, but I am blanking on the title rn, and I think they marketed at least one version of that anthology as a movie tie-in to that Tom Cruise abomination.

If you're up for tackling the longer works first (they're not that long), VALIS and/or The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch are good places to start with PKD. (It has "Eldritch" in the title, what more do you need??) Also, if you want to whet your appetite before you start reading PKD, try and get a copy of the movie Through a Scanner Darkly. Done very well, and actually quite close to the source text.

I have seen Through a Scanner Darkly (though if I'm remembering right the movie was just called A Scanner Darkly) and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recs!

YVW, enjoy! (The title of the original story was Through a Scanner Darkly, IIRC.) Since you liked the movie, I definitely think you'll appreciate his writing. He has a (morbidly) fascinating biography, as well.
