    has anyone read Sleeping Where I Fall by Peter Coyote? it's an amazing chronicle of San Francisco in the 60s and 70s. Peter Coyote was in the San Francisco mime troupe in it's early days, and he was a founding member of the Diggers. I really recommend it for anyone interested in the Haight-Ashbury scene; I'm only halfway through, but I can't put it down.

    I really want to read it. I couldn't find it so far... I'll have to buy it from America. It's so difficult to get all those hippie-books here. :(

    Good. He lived an extraordinary life. :)

    Written like an autobiography. I started reading it right after I read Tom Wolfe's Acid Tests... its quite a change in writing styles :p

    That's funny I'm reading Tom Wolfe's Acid Tests right now. So I'll read Sleeping where I fall after it. Then I'll see the change in writing styles too.[​IMG][​IMG]
