    Coney Island of the Mind, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. UGH. SUCH beautiful poetry. Followed closely by Howl and Other Poems (the Footnote to Howl being my absolute favorite).

    Personal favorite right now goes to
    A Blue Hand: The Tragicomic, Mind-Altering Odyssey of Allen Ginsberg, a Holy Fool, a Lost Muse, a Dharma Bum, and His Prickly Bride in India

    I have also enjoyed Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

    Burnt Toast by Peter Gould
    Maybe hard to find as it is out of print.
    I had a paperback copy once.

    If it counts, Albert Hoffmann "LSD - my trouble child". This book connected with the hippie movement. And, of course it is one of the greatest books I' ve ever read. Its about how LSD was born in swiss lab when WWII was. This book tells you about first LSD tests with different people. It is truth about LSD from dad of LSD.

    Haven't really read this so much as perused it, but the biggest hippie book I own and know of: "Hippie"

    haha :)

    EDIT: LOL I thought this said the 'biggest' hippie book, not best. But yeah, "Hippie" by Barry Miles is among the best. Especially covers the music quite well. And let's not forget "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley!

    Another Roadside Attraction was one of my favorites. I think it was written by Tom Robbins.

    Probably not as "Hippie" as later works, but the writings of Buckminster Fuller are right the fuck on.
