Reading while High

[primetime21335]

Anyone got any superb high reading? Lol, I don't really. But I have found I enjoy fiction MUCH more than non fiction when I'm high.

This summer I read the following high:
Howard Stern Private Parts
Stephen King Tommyknockers
Stephen King Misery
Marc Cerasin Godzilla 2000
some Albert Einstein book (forget the name. surprised?)
and mad ESPN the Mag's.


Lol, the godzilla book was from back when I was in 7th grade. I came home high and had NOTHING to read (tv just dont do it for me as much anymore, reading is simply the superior form of entertainment) because all of my Dad's books were in his room and it was late at night. And I get most of my reading from his collection.

Howard made me crack up more than a few times. Tommyknockers was great too, but I enjoyed it just as much sober, oddly enough. Godzilla wasn't bad and it was a quick read. Killed it in about 5 days.

The best was probably Misery. I really grew to HATE the antagonist, which is a testament to how good King is. I never really dislike the villian, and often times like him/her, but this time... UGH I HATED THAT FUCKIN BITCH.



If you don't read when you're high, I highly recommend it, if you can handle it that is.

i love reading when i'm baked. I read much slower but i visualize the story much clearer. Philip K. Dick has some great stoned reading material: Divine Invasion, Ubik, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? of course

not my thing, but some people like it a lot. i can be a patient person, i just would rather do other things than read.

Its gotten to the point were i can no longer walk into Barnes and Noble not stoned, reading about transcendentalism and metaphysics, HAHA.

If you like King I HIGHLY recommend the Dark Tower Saga starting with the gunslinger. Absolutely captivating book and is epic in so many ways. Unfortunitly I have to stop my other books to finish Crime and Punishment for my AP class.

i like to read sober preferably, cuz when i read high my mind wonders whiel my eyes keep reading, like i'll read something and then my mind will start to elaborate on it n half way down the page i'm like "i dont know what the hell i just read"

I do that sober constantly. Probably why I'm a slow reader.

If I'm really really high I do that too. We smoked 4 grams one time this summer and when I went home to read before bed I found I was having a really hard time doing it. If you get too high it's too hard to keep focused.

i recomend "Blow" even if you've seen the movie its still a great read

[ROY G BIV]

harry potter all the way

[high as hell]

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Charles Bukowski.

Definitely One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. If you have the time... Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

A couple classics to start you off

I hear you. That's a dannnnngerous combination.

[What'sThatSmell]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

It's a really good book.
It's a light read filled with tons of fucked-to-the-extreme illustrations.

Chances are if I'm reading a book, I'll read part of it high. I named my bong after a book actually. The Bong of Ice and Fire after the series A Song of Ice and Fire (and it's red and blue, which helps).

Sometimes reading high is sort of hit or miss though. Usually I'll get really into it but other times my mind will just wander.
