Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas HofstadterIntertwining discussions on music, art, and number theory, touching on Zen, beauty, and Artificial Intellegence. One of the best books ever. Be warned though, it's a heavy read, requires a lot of thought, and a little math. -Hatta

If you're not prone to bad trips, some great reading is anything by Phillip K. Dick or H.P. Lovecraft. DON'T read Lovecraft if you tend to see scary beasties, though...

try "one flew over the cukoos nest" by Ken Kesey. the whole book is about how people in a psych-ward unknowingly take LSD with their meds and doctors check the results. there is some really great imagery in it. Kesey was just way into LSD.. he tripped constantly, and wrote letters back and forth to tom wolfe (Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) all about it.

If you never read anything else, read 'Breakfast of Champions," by Kurt Vonnegut. Hell, read anything by Vonnegut.

Alan Watts "THE BOOK: on the taboo against knowing who you are"...it is great...it might be difficult while tripping, but excelent pre-trip reading. "The peaceful warrior" Dan Millman One of my favorite books...it tells a story of one mans way to enlightenment...HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!! "johnothon livingston segul" Richard Bach Easy reading, still amazing.anyway...those books i loved.. -peace- ------------------ "My only weakness is my thirst for knowledge."
