Ive just finished the electric kool-aid acid test and my god what a great book, makes me want to buy a bus paint it in day-glo and wire it up with microphones. Anyone have any favorite parts/chapters I'd have to say I loved it when they went to the gathering for the unitarian church, or the freak out at the beatles concert haha.

My favorite chapter was the one called 'Unauthorized Acid', where that guy drinks the orange juice with acid in it even though he's not supposed to. Then he starts freakin out and having a bad trip. That shit was hilarious.

That part was fucking hilarious he freaks out for a couple days tho or was that from the dmt? i like keseys strategy for bad trips just shower them with love and attention, although i could see how that could make it worse since acid tends to make you think that everyones looking at you anyway.
the whole book is amazing an inspiration for future trips

I enjoyed it a lot. My favorite part was the freakout at the Beatles concert. I had read it before my first and only bad trip and then went back and reread certain parts and I defintiely could now sympathize with them...

I've read the first few pages
It sucks
I've never read it in my life and yet my writing style is scarily similiar, so if I publish something people will think "Man what whore"

I'm a little over half-way through it. Usually I just tear through books but man, this one is daunting. I think I can't read it that much because it makes me want those 500 microgram dose owsley acid capsules lol

Not necessarily about being on acid
But I think the style is acidish
If you want, I posted something on this board that might entertain you
