If you spend a lot of time choking down bong hits, eventually you will pick up a book. If you get into reading books while stoned you can get into places that even the imagination did not calculate for you. Sometimes this is a joy, sometimes a horror. In any case here's a list of my top 7 Stoner Books: 1) Generation Of Swine, by Hunter S. Thompson 2) The Cadence Of Grass , by Thomas McGuane 3) The Age of Voltaire, by Will and Ariel Durant 4) No Man Knows My History, by Fawn Brodie 5) The Killing Of Perry Santos, by Scott Durham 6) One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez 7) A Long and Happy Life, by Reynolds Price basically, these were books I had read without the addition of weed inhalation and was disappointed in them, only when I re-read them "high as fuck", did I get why they were ever written. Weed makes good books!
Orwell's 1984 if you feel like barricading your doors and checking for microphones and cameras in your house. Trust no one man. Not even your mind Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I love some Ray Bradbury when I'm high...The whole feel of his writing 'voice' is amazing... heavy with symbolism ...'Something Wicked This Way Comes'...'Fahrenheit 451' are just some examples
My top 5 Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk The Great and Secret Show - Clive Barker and... The Stand - Stephen King All good reads while high
Right now I'm reading "Naked Lunch" by William bourrows And I've got to say it has become ny favorite book, its a strange read but it will leave you in awe
I'm going to have to write up my top five later, when I'm not procrastinating with my school work! I'm trying to get a lot of my easier reading out of the way today, so I found some audiobook versions of the two H.P. Lovecraft stories I needed to read. Deciding to multitask, I just got super stoned before each book! I just read, "Rats in the Wall", and am now reading "The Colour Out of Space". Crazy shit. I love using audiobooks to read, and have found them to be somewhat life changing. I finally have time to read while I'm doing the multitude of mundane tasks that daily life requires. I listen to audiobooks while driving, cooking, cleaning, bored inbetween classes, and sometimes I just love to listen to audiobooks when I'm crazy baked. I also happen to love it when people read to me. I also particularly enjoy reading John Dies at the End by David Wong while high as balls, I analyse fiction much better that way. Pride and Prejudice is the same too, and I care about their individual stories so much more.
Two stoned reads ive particularly liked lately are "Junky" by William Boroughs and "A Scanner Darkly" by P.K.D. Just google em.....
To be honest, any book that I would be inclined to read will be made better under a small dose. But yes, books that are intended to blow your mind will be greatly amplified. Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus Trilogy Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy And many others. Just never ever read any of David Foster Wallace's books while stoned. That shit will drag you down like no other. DFW is a fucking genius but his stuff is depressing. 1984 and Cryptonomicon will make you rightfully paranoid.
