    Just wondered if anyone else has read this book? I just bought it recently and it looks like an interesting read about hippy life in the 60's. Haven't started it yet though, but would be interested in hearing other opinions about it... :)

    No, I haven´t read it. Do you know the author, the year it got printed first and the (uhm, can´t remember the word, something like "Penguin Books" for example)? Maybe I could get it here, coz it sounds like I´d wanna read it :)

    Hey weep. Yep, the author is James Fadiman. First printed in 2001. Publisher is: Celestial Arts. From what I can tell, this is the authors first novel.. previous to this he's written some "personal growth / enlightenment" type books.

    That´s great! Thank you! :)

    2001, that´s great, too! I was kinda worried, that it might be an old book, which I wouldn´t be able to get without trouble.

    Love, Peace and Happiness
