Doors of Perception.

Mmm, beautiful.

 

yeah. i read it and it was superb but i havent gotten through heaven and hell yet.
Huxley's idea about america needing a safer recreational drug was right on the money.

 

Both are good. Doors is better, though.

 

Agreed, 'Doors' is my favorite of his. BNW is great too, of course.

 

i think this book is the most accurate description of a trip...and that aint easy to describe

 

Doors is a very very detailed description of the mind at work on a drug, I love it.

 

For those who havn't found it so far:

genius.

 

For those who don't know, the title refers to the poem "Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake. The full quote says "If the Doors of Perception were Cleansed, mankind would see things as they are, Infinite."
I wonder sometimes what Blake would've thought of Mescaline and LSD . . .

 

Ive never read it but i really want to... i have an obsession with the mind and all it can do... so powerful... but this book seems perfect for me

 

I have it but haven't managed to read it yet i bought it about two years ago and found it a bit hard to understand but maybe i'll give another try when i have read the other books that i have that i haven't gotten around to reading yet.

 

I only got to reading about half of it. Aldous can make you feel like youre tripping when you're reading one of his books. But my parents found it and threw it in my neighbors bonfire SO now I'm trying to find it again...

 

The only thing i know is that since i've read it i want to try mescaline!

 

i once burned a copy of farenheit 451 just for the irony.

 

Cool, I can't stand that girl on the book lol

 

It's on the internet ... see my post above. your parents can't throw the internet in your neighbours bonfire

 

great piece of writing, i've never read heaven and hell, but wanna some day

 

i thought both essays were complied into the same book?

at least every copy that ive seen has been like that....the one i read was

 

my copy is but originally i don't think they were... but then i dont know

JOn

 

HA! You just made my day!
