yes! "The Teachings of Don Juan: a Yaqui way of knowledge".

their is a whole series of these 'don Juan' books and their all amazing
all about hallucinogens, the mind,a cool ass Indian guide and a trip of a story! I'm on the 4th book and man they keep getting better!
the teachings of don Juan is the first one but i think he wrote them all so u can pick up any one and still make it through that book OK... but past references may lose you.

Michio Kaku, anything really but Hyperspace was pretty good. just skip the intro biography unless you care.
oh and do you prefer intelligent books or fiction? Wheel of time was a good series, ending soon...

I got the first book at a yard sale for like 50 cents. Totally awesome purchase.
Check out anything by Robert Anton Wilson (Prometheus Rising, Cosmic Trigger, Quantum Psychology are all really good ones), DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman, and Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna. If you're looking for some excellent, trippy sci-fi, check out Philip K. Dick.

Man I didn't know that Don Juan shit was like that, I'm gonna check some outtt.
I love classic literature. Can't go wrong with anything by Hemingway, Steinbeck, Thompson, or Kerouac.
If I were to pick a book by each that I have found the most eye-opening, it would go like this:
Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath or Cannery Row
Hemingway: The Sun Also Rises or For Whom the Bell Tolls
Thompson: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (of course) or Hell's Angels
Kerouac: Dharma Bums or On the Road
I gave two for each, the first set are the best. There's a good variety of length and theme there. They're all great.
