Currently reading:
Cosmic Trigger vol.1 by RAW The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Kundasomethingerother Atlas Shrugged by Ann ran screaming from the woods of communism Some book about the Undiscovered Self and dreams by Jung (yeah, I know...) Small Gods by Terry Pratchet (light reading for drunk nights) The Fifth Child by the ever pretentious and god-awful Doris Lessing (is that her name?) The Silva Mind Control Method by some quackishous charlatain boor The Brothers Karamazov by dusty off key (only in the morning upon waking) Screw-jack by HSTRIP (i've got one more page but paused to respond to this thread) The Fuck-up by hue nose? Issue #10 of BLACKHOLE by this fucking incredible dude who made the most incredible comic... (fantagraphic book) DEAD END by Ott TROGLODYTES (I've been studying that one for years but only while stoned)
and I think that's it for now and as you can see i need to stop drinking all this coffee and take one book at a time but i value the diversity of having several different reality tunnel thingys running through my brain depending on the hour or day or whether or not i'm stoned, drunk, buzzed, sleepy, groggy, or what have you.

What is the What is good, i think, though I never read his other book. It is fiction/biography, relating the story of a sudanese man's flight from civil war.
Pharmako Gnosis is essentially a book of one man's trip reports. It is poetic, though the poetry deals with that drug-induced realm and thus is not very engaging (i like simple, solid stuff). The art is well chosen and beautiful, and he does give us some history of usage and interesting anecdotes. Also, novel insights. Altogther the book is profound yet mundane. I like it.

Also in the middle of
Exile and the Kingdom, Albert Camus
Camus is at the top of my list. The Plague is an incredible book.
