Yeah, Bukowski was great. Post Office, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, etc., are very funny, and often even sensitive. A friend of mine went to one of his readings, and Bukowski drank a six pack while doing it - without even bothering to unattach the beer cans from the plastic that held them together. As you probably know, there are several films based on his writings. I always felt that the best actor to play him would have been Lee Marvin, himself being a heavy driniker and all-round tough customer.

YES! I loved both the da Vinci code AND Angels and Demons, but A&D was my favorite of the two. I don't know why exactly; I can't quite put my finger on it... but I just like A&D better.
Anyway, lol... I LOVE Dean Koontz books, since I love thriller/suspense books, Stephen King, Laurel K Hamilton, Anne Rice, the Harry Potter books,"Behind the Paint" (ICP book<3), James Patterson... :) the list goes on... I LOVE reading and some people make fun, but I don't care. Reading is good for ya :)

"Ringworld" series By Niven, The Integral Trees was some trippy shit.
Bernard Shaw, I've been meaning to read some more of him, his wit seems amazingly modern.
All time favorite - a novella, The Death Of Doctor Island, by Gene Wolfe, not to be confused with the Island of Doctor Death or the other two similar titles found in the compilation of four that its in, with the big skull on the cover. Angst ridden teens would love the empathy you gain for the odd protagonist and his hatred of the cruelty of the world so beautifully expressed.

Keith Richards (Rolling Stones, well known drug-user) just signed a deal for over $7million for the rights to publish his autobiography. His #1 objective when negotiating with publishing companies was to beat Eric Claptons $5 million dollar autobiography book deal. Looks like Kieth got over 2 million more!! Congradulations Mr. Richards!! I think a nice donation 2 NORML (or a different reform group) is in order,-cosidering there might be 1 or 2 drug oriented stories in your auto/bio. Regardless this book is a MUST READ (even though it's not even out yet)!!

A trippy book that I read while stoned was Dead Air. I forget the author but its based on a true story of this weird ass cult. I like mostly mystery..a little fiction.

"If on a winter's night a traveler" published in 1979 by Italo Calvino
Very good book to read when stoned, or not stoned.
has anyone else had a chance to read it ?

Charles Bukowski and John Fante have a certian direct language that's a pleasure to read when stoned...Fante comes from a propaganda-filled time, so he's somewhat ignorant when it comes to weed. John Fante's character Bandini- his muse/love smokes pot in Ask The Dust.........
But Charles Bukowski's alter-ego Henry Chinaski smokes pot all the time.....
they're both really good reads, I think.

Interesting, didn't think I'd find that on here. Anything written by George Carlin tends to be good. I like how I can hear him doing his stand-up in my head just by reading his books.
I'd like to take this time to honor the teachers of my public schooling, who mandated that I read the following books that I ended up liking:
-1984 (George Orwell)
-Anthem (Ayn Rand)
-Heart of Dankness (Joseph Conrad)
I just tried googling the first book I'd ever read, but couldn't remember the title. Something about an ugly panda that doesn't quite fit in with society for some reason. I guess it's like The Ugly Duckling, but slightly altered so Asian kids like me could relate to it. Also, someone told me about a book that was written by some psychedelic enthusiast in a few days. After he finished writing it, he re-arranged the pages in a different order, and that's how it was published. Does that sound familar to anyone?
