Anyone read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe? It's pretty much a true story and is like a history of early acid use.

The acid tests were huge parties thrown by Ken Kesey(he wrote One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest) and his friends, the Merry Pranksters, back in the late 60's. The Grateful Dead got their start playing at those parties. Anyhow, several thousand people would show up and everyone would be given a glass of kool-aid dosed with high quality acid. The Dead would play and everyone would trip their balls off.

Of course the book is about a lot more than just the acid tests specifically and goes into pretty much the whole late '60's San Francisco drug scene. It's pretty funny and definitely a good read . I would think a must for anyone on this board.

I personally like the Wheel Of Time books better than the Sword of Truth books, though theyre very close. The main problem with the Wheel of Time is that hes incredibly descriptive, and the story is huge, 10 massive books already and no sign of an endpoint yet. They get pretty damn confusing with the amount of characters too. Very cool though, I just hope he doesnt die before theyre finished, or I may have to exhume his corpse and beat him with a shovel...

haha, ya I thought about that. If an author died before the series finished, it would be the most unfulfilled unfinished feeling in the world.

right now i started reading anarchy by errico malatesta. pretty good but i dont read much usually

i have a clear cut book for you about anarchy. its called "days of war, nights of love" by bthe crimethinc collective. it can be read on there site easily for free. extrodinary to say the least. and to add a side note, i dont think most people know what anarchy truly is. besides the dictionary deffinition anyway (witch isent even close).

Everyone should read "Finnegans Wake" while high and not -- it's trippy either way.

[FRANKFRANKFRANK]

It's by James Joyce.
