Books to read while high.

[Purple Banana]

This may sound odd, but children's books- especially with great illustrations. I'm thinking Stephen Kellogg, Eric Carle, Linda Bronson...

Some of these books are beautifully detailed, and it's really a great pleasure to read them.

I heard Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill is pretty good.

Banana, I hear you about illustration.
I LOVE reading old Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and Doonesbury comics stoned right before bed.

though the escapism of any fantasy is great when high, i especially like to reread the early books from zelazny's amber series. for poetry, try a bit of byron.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I cannot comprehend how much ass this novel kicks. Neither can you. It is futile to even try.

IT WAS ON A dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless... thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.

I just finished the book last night, and I am 110% satisfied. It was like being in a blunt session with Roger Waters, Jerry Garcia, and Jimi Hendrix. Only good things can come from reading this book. Buy it. Now.

Anything by Douglas Adams or Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins all the way. espeically still life with woodpecker. i find alan watts ends up making a whole bunch more sense when i read it stoned.

I wanna reread the hatchet novels by gary paulson stoned. i read them when I was younger and really liked em.

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

Iv'e found that I can read any book stoned. But some books in particular leap out when you are you high. I suggest:

The Wheel of Time Series

The Dark Tower Series


I read both of those over and over again when I am stoned. Anyone else have any suggestions on books to read while high? Or any online books to read high with links?

The Dark Tower Series changed me life lol.
