Hey I'm kinda bored and looking for something good to read, it doesnt necesarily have to be a stoner book but a good one would be cool. I've read lots of Hunter S. Thompson's collection but I was wondering if there were any more really good books I should know about. Thx
James:pimp:
There's this dude's stuff http://www.lulu.com/newport
He's a stoner and a fan of HST, Bukowski, Vonnegut, and Phil Hendrie.
I ordered his books one at a time and each arrived in a week.
They are easy to read and some of the chapters are hilarious because the dude just explodes with amazing venom and vitriol. And then the chapters about why we exist and what happens after death really strike me curious and make me smile with a raised eyebrow. There's no one else like him. Can't praise him enough.
If that don't float your boat then check out Post Office by Charles Bukowski.
Or Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut.
Or Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
Mind you, those aren't written by stoners nor are they about stoners, but I've never known a stoner who didn't like them. Classics.
At the moment I'm tacking the Timothy O'Leary Biography.
tom browning jr."the vision"
alone and under by terry gross
do or die by leon bing
monster[auto biography of an la gang member] by kody scott
education of a felon
dog eat dog [by edward bunker]
lil boy blue
just to name a few
leon bing is an amazing writer.. and a great person..
two wonderful books..
Illusions - richard bach
Alchamest - Coehell (?)
these books are easy reads and will change your life
Yeh I'll check out those books. have any of you guys read any David Sedaris books. He's a great writer and hes really funny too, his best book is either Me talk pretty one day or Dress your family in chorderoy and denim
It's cool thoug cus he's from Raleigh NC and he describes it in the book. Actually its funny his old house was less than a mile away from me.

jack kerouac, any of his books. i liked dharma bums and tristeza the best
and
cannabis: a history, by some guy that i cant remember
Mr Nice by Howard Marks is a quality book.
Back of the cereal box...........
I'd go for Jack Kerroac as well read On the Road and Darhma Bums. Prefered Darhma Bums.
joint rollers handbook, all you ever need 2 read
anything stephen king for the pure entertainment. The dark tower books kick uber ass.
For good stoner book you could try....
Green eggs & Ham??
Or you could try:
The Grail Quest Series
Vagabond by Bernard Cornwell
The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell
Heretic by Bernard Cornwell
That 3 book series is a very good read and would even make a great movie if they don't mess it up. Bernard Cornwell has done a great job with the stories.
the joint rolling handbook :dance:
Yeh I just went to a used book store and I bought Dharma Bums for $0.50!! :D LOLQuote:
