trippy music, trippy movies, what about trippy books?!

i look at my book collection and they are all trippy
HOUSE OF LEAVES- Mark Danielewski (one of the best book i've ever read, by far)
Childhood's End- Arthur C. Clarke
anything by Hunter S. Thompson
everything by Douglas Adams (even his one nonfiction piece can leave you speechless)
Days of War Nights of Love- Crimethinc.
Doors of Perception- Aldous Huxley
Haunted- Chuck Palahniuk
Blow-up and Other Stories- Julio Cortazar
Philip K. Dick, i could on and on

let's have it book worms!
 
Suprised no one mentioned the Carlos Casteneda collection yet. I read these all about 5 yrs ago, and they are deffinately trippy in a spiritual way. especially when you get past the first 2 (which are kinda introductions into his apprenticeship) and he gets into the "real world" of the spirit world. These books really make me wish I could hook up with a brujo for a couple years (assuming I was even deemed worthy).

But like I said the ideas presented in the later books truley are intense.

If you already have read Carlos Casteneda then read this: http://www.jerometimes.com/thegulch.html

Assuming everything is true and not written just to assimilate with the culture, then this truely is a mind fuck

Sounds like good books brother may have to check that out.
 
u always like The Electric Acid Kool Aid Test by tom wolfee and i enjoy reading The Way of the Shaman by micheal harner constantly. and not always trippy but Steven King is the bomb.
 
not truely trippy but good for life, "Zen and the Art of Archery"

(which I hate to admit but I didnt read until after I read "Zen and the Art of Poker" lol
 
PIKEAL AND TIKEAL not traditional story books but i think that those may be the trippiest thing ever. and DMT the spirit molecule by rick strassman is really badass too.
 
I enjoy a lot of Jack Kerouac (On the Road, The Dharma Bums, and The Hippos Were Boiled Alive In Their Tanks). Also enjoy a lot of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson and one I recently finished which really makes you look at life in an awesome way is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Peace
