I need a good book.

It's been such a long time that I've read a really really good book, that I actually enjoyed and felt some what stimulated reading it. Any suggestions? I'm up for anything.

 

well i don't know what all you've read, but on the subject of Beat and Hippie books i'd say,
Howl-Allen Ginsberg
On The Road- Jack Kerouac
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test-Tom Wolfe
Junky or Lunch- William S. Burroughs
all of those are pretty much essentials.

 

This is more of a semi/depressing book about a girl's survival in foster homes after her mother commits muder.
"White Oleander" by Janet Fitch

Not so much hippie, but we need to explore all kinds of books, ya know?

I liked Bridges of Madison County, an easy, sentimental read good for any hippie girl.

For non-fiction material way out of hippie bounds, there is Lothrop Stoddard's Revolt Against Civilization.

 

Have you read The Celestine Prophecy? It was rather stimulating for many people I know. Not a bad read.
