I suggest everyone read some books by terrence mckenna or a book called Cosmic Serpent

one novel I did like was called No Country For Old Men- bout a guy who comes across some dead dealers in the desert and one truck with heroin and one with a satchel fullof money, he takes em and the book is about this BADASS motherfucker hunting the guy down(only liked it cause the badass in the book was so original)

I make it a point to mention Vonnegut in every thread about books I find on this place. In fact SCROLL UP.

For any of you wannabe consumerwhore-activists out there who love the book No Logo I highly recommend reading The Rebel Sell. You might cry a little.
