Have never been able to get away with those 3.
Tried reading them and threw the books down in disgust and never picked them up again. Reading some Philip K Dick and Aldiss was an ordeal, and tedious. I did finish the books and never picked another Aldiss, and read only a couple of P.K.D
Give me the so-called "Hard SF" every time.
