Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Definitely Hunter S!. Thompson stuff, especially Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!.

For further groovy spiral acid flashbacks, consider the authors Spike Milligan, Martin McDonagh, Tom Stoppard, Don Delillo, Kurt Vonnegut, Anne Raver, John Kennedy Toole, Tom Wolfe, Philip K!. Dick, Bernhard Schlink, and Robert Rankin!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer would be great!

also try:
Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse
The Tao of Pooh - Benjamin Hoff
Ishmael - Daniel QuinnWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm surprised no one said One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey!. It is totally anti- Establishment!.

Basically, anything by Ken Kesey and Hunter S!. Thompson would be good for you!.

Happy reading!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure why, but I always thought Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins would be enjoyable for the hippie-esque!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
