Y'all need to hit up the "What book are you currently reading?" thread.  It's got 10 years worth of book recommendations by members of the Shroomery.

It can always use more people, and I for one have read several books after hearing about them there.  I just finished Dune after like everybody there recommended it, and I couldn't be more glad that I did.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6013837/fpart/1/vc/1

I keep mentioning this thread when the topic comes up but I'm not sure how many people actually come and post because of it.

lots of good ones, lately I'm in the mood to recommend the Name of the Wind for fantasy, also Earthsea of course. For general fiction House of Leaves is damn good, and can't go wrong with Kurt Vonnegut.
 
Non-fiction I've recommended Enlightenment 2.0 to a lot of people, its a great book (about the value of logic, the mistakes made in the era of rationalism and the anti-logic anti-intellect movement in media and public discourse lately.

I second the can't go wrong with Kurt Vonnegut.  I got my sister to read him recently and she liked it, but my mom has had Sirens for months now without even picking it up.

Since this is a recommendations thread, the book I read before Dune was a classic - Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.  It's dark humour as well, but written in a much different way than Vonnegut.  It was just amazing.  Definitely up there with the best that I've read.

ya I mean it opens kind of promising Kvothe will die, so if he doesn't that'll be kinda off I think ha

I'm cautiously excited for the movies that're in the works, but we need book 3 first dammit

Everyone drop what you are currently reading and read Loren Eiseley. If you don't, I will come to your house and kick your ass Jay and Silent Bob style.

some of the books i tend to re read are Island by aldous huxley, Lord of the Rings by tolkien, and many of the mythology books by joseph campbell.  Island was actually what initially got me interested in shrooms.




Check out Robert Fritz "Path of least resistance."

Any books by Stephan King or Stephen Hawkings if your into that sort of stuff.

Obviously, read DMT the Spirit Molecule, Food of the Gods Terrence McKenna among other TM books.

Read The Tibetan book of the Dead Manual by Timothy Leary.

There are tons of great reads like Tao of Pooh.

That was an interesting book, I was always fascinated by the part where Strassman talks about the patient that had visions of being raped by crocodiles, that would be such a heavy visual to have.  I guess it was related to the patient being raped when they were younger, or something like that, I could totally be wrong though.
