I recently read Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt and I thought it was pretty damn good. It's a semi-autobiographical novel about growing up in poverty stricken Ireland in the earlier half of the twentieth century. There isn't much for drug content (except that his father is a raging alcoholic), but it may lend some insight into the 'meaning' of it all and help you appreciate the things you've got now (assuming you're not living in poverty stricken Ireland...).

I recommend Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums wholeheartedly.  Also, I've been reading this book called The Art of Worldly Wisdom.  It is a collection of 300 aphorisms and makes great toilet reading.  The good thing is, the aphorisms are very concise and on-point, but can be catalysts for further thought on the subject.  So you can read two or three when you're on the throne and won't feel obligated to keep reading, since each aphorism is independent of the others.  A must for everyone who poops.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is one of my favorites. Read it for the 3rd time recently while like 3 unread books sat on my shelf.


--------------------
"And we, inhabitants of the great coral of the Cosmos, believe the atom (which still we cannot see) to be full matter, whereas, it too, like everything else, is but an embroidery of voids in the Void, and we give the name of being, dense and even eternal, to that dance of inconsistencies, that infinite extension that is identified with absolute Nothingness and that spins from its own non-being the illusion of everything."

Is a novel written by the late French Nihilist Antoine De Saint-Exupery. In it he explores man as a metaphysical concept that tries to consummate his relationship with god through symbols as an ontological argument for sin.

If that isn't deep enough for you, I don't know what the fuck is.

The Otherland series by Tad Williams is pretty good. Just finished it up a month ago...it's reallly long.

It's a sci-fi story set in the near future, but he references lots of different drugs in the books, especially mushrooms. Apparently he got a lot of the ideas in there from his own trips. Great read if you're into cyberpunk stuff and aren't intimidated by something longer than the Bible haha...

Personal favorites are:

Confederacy of Dunces - Written by, John Kennedy Toole. How is this not mentioned yet? Fucking awesome book.
Grapes of Wrath - Steinbeck anyone?
The Long Walk - Written by, Slavomir Rawicz. Without a doubt, the greatest survivor story ever told. Amazing.

Good drug related or somewhat drug related books, in no particular order:

Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby
Any Terence McKenna
Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll (magick related)
Pihkal & Tihkal by Alexander and Ann(sp) Shulgin
Stanislov Grof (mostly he writes about psychotherapy and that realm, mostly psychedelic therapy)
Nothing in this Book is True but it's Exactly the Way Things Are by Bob Frissel (this book is a fuckin triiiip, i highly recommend it) following the Bob Frissel book, check out Drunvala Melchizedek books.

Shit, I'm havin a hard time thinking right now, and I haven't gotten stoned all day...sheeez.

Btw, for some killer book recommendations, go the Music, Art and Literature forum here on the shroomery and go to the topic 'What book are you currently reading'. Usually it's on the first few pages of MAL. I've read the entire thread and wrote down sooo many good book titles. I've already read a few damn good books that someone else recommended.

- "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. If you guys are into spirituality, you will LOVE AND WORSHIP this book. Serious.

- "Harry Potter" by J.K Rowling. Although lots of people find it childish, it is a very dark and violent heptalogy. Those 7 books got lots and lots of appeal, and when you really dive into the storyline, you won't want the book to finish.

- "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Read that in secondary five (12th grade for you United-Statians) and loved it. I want some soma.

- "Dom Juan" by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin dit Molière. Classic litterature, although it's a play, it can relate to any epoch and is overall a masterpiece in mankind's litterature. If you wanna inflict yourself a headache, read it in french.

Annnnnnnnnd.......

- "The Alphabet of Manliness" by Maddox. Need I say more?

I'm floating in the sea of stars,
I'm drifting away from the shore
I will be lost in the dream when the dark days come
But I will make the time run backwards and
I'll make the stars shine again
