You like E.E. Cummings, at all? He's one of my favorite poets. Skinny Legs and All is one of my favorites by Robbins, too. I have a copy sitting like 2 feet away from me.

You know, i read Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas long ago...so long ago that I probably forgot about the fact that he mentions Food of the Gods. Hm. I should definitely look into rereading that!

Also, Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert Heinlein. I am not a sci-fi fan, at all, but this book goes down as one of my favorite stories of all time. It just gripped me up to the very end and left me feeling all warm and shit. It's in my top 5, for sure!

Awesome rendition! I have listened to Bjork for a really long time. She's great and she has some really tripped out videos! That one with the teddy bear chasing her through the forrest made it's way into my dreams on many occasions.:runaway:

it doesnt mention the book directly, but it names mckenna and explains his idea of the the "Cubensis Spore as the catalyst for Development of Human Intellegence, and Long Titles for Things" Theory.

Ohhhh yeah. The whole book just came flooding back to me, the bowling alley, the injun, the den of drinking businessmen and women.

Right now I'm reading the sci-fi novel, Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson.

I'm probably going to read some book about LSD next becuase I like books about that subject. :toomuchacid:

I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451, and highly recommend the book to anyone who has never read it before. It is an incredibly insightful look as to the future of TV and modern entertainment in general. In the end, it helped me realize that sometimes we need to bare ourselves to tragedy and pain so that we have some meaning to our lives, and so that when we die we can truly say that we understood what it ment to be alive.

As far as my next book, I did try to start "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" a book all about archetypes (the basis for my future academic English studies) but since the second summer semester is starting for me and I have two English courses, I will have to put that one off and start doing my assigned readings.

Funny thing about the book, Electric Koolaid Acid Test. I was on Grateful Dead tour, in 1994, and this guy begs me to trade him a few hits of lsd for his paperback copy of that book. I did it, of course and lost the book on Dead tour, that next year. :frown: Never got to read it, but I want to get another copy of it and read it.
