I didn‘t particularly like this book, but I found it written in an interesting way that worked well on audio. I was intrigued enough to look up more about Kesey and the 2011 documentary using some of the Merry Pranksters‘ video footage. I‘m slightly more interested in reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest with this background on the author but still baffled by the idea of a continuous acid trip road trip and parties offering basically free LSD.

This is a strange book, another one I probably never would have picked up without the 1001 list, but at the same time I‘m somewhat intrigued by hearing their crazy escapades. So, in that respect, listening to the audio while I‘m doing other things, like walking in this winter wonderland, is perfect.

IndoorDame Beautiful vista! 🤩 3mo
Daisey @IndoorDame It was beautiful today! I took a long walk with the beagle because it‘s supposed to be much colder in the next few days. 3mo

Maybe if the library had this one on audio…? But I just can‘t settle into the rhythm of the writing. And I am interested in the concept here, but when the thing I like most about a book is the cover it really isn‘t worth my time.

ChaoticMissAdventures I have always been curious and intimidated by this one. 3mo
IndoorDame @ChaoticMissAdventures if you ever decide to tackle it I‘ll be interested to hear your thoughts 3mo

Ruthiella I loved another nonfiction from him, but read it ages ago . Don‘t know how it would hold up now? 🤔 3mo
IndoorDame @Suet624 I can see this one being all about when and where you pick it up. The kind of things I was reading in high school, I probably would‘ve adored this then. 3mo
IndoorDame @Ruthiella sounds good! 3mo
Suet624 @IndoorDame I also kind of lived through that time period/experience so it was really interesting to me. I should give it a read now and see how it holds up. 3mo
IndoorDame @Suet624 that would definitely be an interesting way to look back since you read it then too! 3mo
Daisey I got this from Audible some time ago and was nervous it might not be a good audio match. I‘m listening to it now, and I agree with you. It‘s strange and I‘m not really engaged, but I‘m intrigued enough to keep listening while I‘m doing other things. 3mo
IndoorDame @Daisey I was pretty sure it would work better for me on audio, but my library only had print and I I wasn‘t quite interested enough to spend an audible credit to see it I was right. I‘ll keep an eye out for your review if you stick with it though! 3mo

So so mind-blowing. Like Chasing the Scream but for psychedelics. About time I had a good history lesson on psychedelics in America. His ability to put ineffable feelings into language is pretty impressive. Definitely plan on rereading sometime in the near future.

Supporting an indie bookish merch business someone I follow on Instagram runs independently. If you're on bookstagram, I can refer you over to the account! I guess I'm all about them froggies, gnomes, mushrooms, and boho! 👀😆 Makes sense, I look like an aging hair band rocker!...

RaeLovesToRead Aww! Cute! 12mo
JamieArc Yes please! I‘m always trying to find great bookmarks, and have a minor obsession with mushrooms. 12mo
tokorowilliamwallace @JamieArc What's your Instagram handle? I'd also have another mycology account you could follow! 12mo
JamieArc @tokorowilliamwallace That would be great! I‘m Jamie.the.archer. JUST starting using Instagram, so if the account looks suspect, that‘s why 😂 12mo
tokorowilliamwallace @JamieArc I just followed what I found from @tokorokansai. Let me know if that's you. Looking forward to what content you come up with! 12mo

Are psychedelics the dangerous drugs they‘ve been made out to be? Are they, like cannabis, on the verge of being made legal for medicinal purposes? Can they be used to treat a host of mental and nervous disorders? Michael Pollan delves into the history and future of psychedelics, exploring these and many other topics. A lot of interesting information here; a good primer for anyone with a casual interest.

Pollan does a fine job narrating.

I picked these up today, the Huxley for the cover by Max Ernst, as it has an "old money" price, and because for a drug book to be published in 1967, the Summer of Love, seemed apposite. I've got it in a more recent edition, so this was a bibliophilic purchase!
The Unholy City I haven't read before, but enjoyed Finney's Circus of Dr Lao and The Wizard Out of Manchuria, so happy to give this a spin. Also, cover love again, as it's a Peter A. Jones?

LeahBergen Very cool covers! 1y
Aimeesue Aww, lizardy friend looks like she needs a snack! 1y
bibliothecarivs Three pounds six shillings? 1y
Bookwomble @Aimeesue She Hungers! 😄 1y
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs Goodness! That would practically buy you a car in 1967! "Three-and-six" is three shillings and six pence ? Although my childhood was in the time of the "old money", and I clearly remember the old coinage, I grew up in the decimalised era, so I can't readily convert one too the other without thinking it through.

the fact that we still find ourselves facing the mass delusion (or fall for the propaganda) that America is somehow set aside as special…a beacon of some christian ethic…amazes me. when faced with the reality of our past…we continue to prefer false histories and diseased patriotism over a true accounting of our crimes. this book reveales that at root of it…we are no different than those countries we demonize. read this!
