Buzzing anyone? Top 5 Books to read stoned

'rayuela' julio cortazar this book will send you on a trip without anything IMHO, so with a spliff it will blast yous away ...up up and away try it, and you will love it as much as i have cheers!

 

although i must add the drifters is reallllyyyy really good when youre stoned - funny that i had the same opinion when i saw your post

 

This is a good tip for this summer. There's a novel called Sewerside Chronicles written by Tim Lay. Not sure when it's out exactly but I've read an advance proof and its hilarious.

 

omg i loved the phantom tollbooth. i read that in 3rd grade!!!

 

but how could you not mention through the looking glass?

 

Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" is my favorite to read stoned, especially with classical or jazz music playing in the background. It makes for a very nice way to spend an hour or two.

Also anything by William Butler Yeats, he has such beautiful diction. My favorite poem is "The Stolen Child"

So these are poetry more than books...but poetry is more fun to read high than books, in my opinion. I usually get sidetracked reading books, but reading poetry I want to crawl into it.

 

Reading stoned? Only when it wears off, otherwise I have to read the same page all the time..
But if so, I prefer some good fantasy I suppose, like Katherine Kerr or Robin Hobb.

 

Wow to you guys who can read Siddartha and Finnegans Wake stoned, all a bit much for me when in that headspace.

The Illuminatus! Trilogy can make more sense when stoned but reading it can make you feel stoned even when straight. Then it ties into the whole thing of Weishuapt partaking of the hemp and becoming illuminated and suddenly bits make you go 'aha!' but you don't know whether that's you being high and coming to the wrong conclusions, being high and coming to the right ones, whether you would have got there anyway, whether you're being silly and stoned and reading too far into things or whether you're being deceived- either by the book or by yourself.

 

play of consciousness

 

Read revelation on phychadelics i did it on shrooms and it was weird i started to believe in dragons

 

junky is good high just cause you can feel good about the fact that burroughs was more fucked up writing it than you were reading it

 

the perks of being a wallflower
lord of the flies
the stranger
anything by stephen king
and of course, kafka.

 

I love reading non-fiction stoned. I love reading Sylvia Browne and spiritual texts like the Gnostic Gospels or The Bhagavad-Gita

 

I really enjoyed that tome - a great read!

Some excellent stoned reading in my opinion is anything written by Tom Robbins......Jitterbug Perfume is my favourite, but Another Roadside Attraction is the one i'd recommend to start with

every other year or so i'll read his entire works in order - it really can change one's perspective in a most groovy and upbeat way

 

Anything by Terry Pratchett, you wont regret it.

 

i like graffiti world. it talks about all different writers from all over the world with excellent pictures. More of a coffee table book though than anything.

 

Oh, and Tom Robbins for sure, he is a mindtrip. "Even Cowgirls get the Blues" and "Jitterbug Perfume" are a few recommendations.

 

I did most of my grade 12 education high.So medical science websites and Into the Wild are my favorite things I love reading most high but for a list.
1) Into the Wild - John Krauker
2) The Mission - Jason Myers, Great book with a lot of cocaine trips and crazy drugged up people partying. Makes you think XD
3) Can't Get There From Here - Todd Strasser old favorite.
4) Anything Eric Walters - Especially The Falls and Shattered
5) Anything Jodie Picoult cause she's my dirty little secret

 

I read Rebecca By dafnine Du maurier of what ever high, was creepy as but, woke up the next morning remembering none of the plot what so ever

 

I can't focus enough to read if I am stoned, assuming stoned means Cannabis. However, I like to read on amphetamines (Vyvanse, Adderall), especially science and math textbooks. In fact, reading about how drugs work (pharmacology) is one of my favorite speeding activities.
