PKD doesn't have much to do with Blade Runner. It's loosely based on the book, but you don't miss much by not reading it.
I highly value creativity and imagination and PKD doesn't disappoint. For some reason his prose feels very similar to Wells (although Wells probably has better style). If creativity is not why you're reading fantasy/SF, if you're just looking for an adventure book in a funky setting, I can't blame you for not liking PKD. And by the way, the bulk of his creations are short stories. As far as I know many of his novels are simply his short stories made longer when he was finally able to do that.
