Just got finished with a Morrison bio and am looking for something to read. Bios are great so is fiction/non fiction I'm open to anything
Jack Kerouac - On The Road Tom Wolfe - The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test Allen Ginsberg - Howl William S Burroughs - Junky Hunter S Thompson - Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Ken Kesey - One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest
Another book that's really great, by a writer I think a lot of people on this forum must appreciate, is Richard Brautigan's In Watermelon Sugar. It's so beautiful and lean and pure. Brautigan got really famous for his Trout Fishing in America, a kinda champion counter-cultural novel in the sixties... that book's also definitely worth reading. Starfish Poetry (it's not just poetry) is a really cool online journal. I've got a story in there called "Plant the Seed" about a man who wants to manipulate his DNA to include the chemical makeup of psilocybin mushrooms, so he can be in a permanent trip. You can check that out for free at: http://www.starfishpoetry.net/StarfishSpring2008.pdf And it's always great to stay juiced on the classics. Like, nothing really beats Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground.
