Villa Incognito has one of the characters from Fierce Invalids. Not the main character...his boss at the CIA.

In Cold Blood is one of the best pieces of 20th Century American literature there is.

Maggie Cassidy by Jack Kerouac.
just finished Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky.
-------------------- On storing pedro tea... Brewmaster: Well, the mescaline will still be in there, but I'd be afraid of it conjealing and trying to escape after it grew in size from eating all the other shit in my fridge, and possibly my dogs if it got out. Pithlit: sentient drugs, now that is an idea ... OneMoreRobot: Idea? It's a fuckin' reality. You know Salvia? Nigga stole my TV.

I'm halfway through my 5th reading of it. It's the only book that I'm constantly reading. I haven't stopped reading it for 3 years.

Just finished Wizard of the Upper Amazon: The Story of Manuel Cordova-Rios and his ayahausca experiences with the amahausca tribe in the jungle. Best book ive read in a long time. Now im reading The Omnivore's Dhilema by Michael Pollan. Slow at first, but i skipped over the intro and the first chapter is about corn and it is the most prevalant food source on the planet. All the animals we eat are made from it, corn syrup, toothpastes, etc... corn is in 25% of the foods we eat. Mexicans have a diet of mainly corn. He has an intresting, very insightful/ inciteful way of thinking about things
