As far as I can tell, it's a book about the people who ran the global economy during the early part of the last century. I hope it's good! | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/11/Peopleshistoryzinn.jpg) A peoples history of the United States: Goes behind the accepted truths and paints a more real picture of slavery & America. It's a great read and the book I spend most time with atm ![[image loading]](http://www.creativereview.co.uk/images/uploads/2008/04/1984thumb.jpg) 1984: For when I need some fiction to stimulate my brain. ![[image loading]](http://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BD201CFAE-BE5A-4A50-A7D4-B9A6CB87B4C2%7DImg100.jpg) A Clash of Kings: I've read all the ASOIF books and this one stands out as the best. The characters are so likable and it's full with drama and politics. I love taking a stroll through the familiar rooms in this book. Reminds me of War and Peace. Not so much to find new things but just to revisit the King in the North, Lannisters, Baratheon brothers etc. | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cc/Master_%26_Commander_cover.jpg) reads of much smoother than I thought. I expected to google the terms and historical references alot more, though book keeps you informed enough to manage. | ||

Now LeGuin (particularly the first 3 Earthsea books), that's some fantasy that's not trash in the slightest. And The Left Hand of Darkness is top notch sci-fi, I think I'm gonna read The Lathe of Heaven soon. | ||

Do NOT do it until you read some of this book, even then be warned... it is unsettling to be forced to witness reality/consciousness. except DMT is naturally produced by the brain EVERY NIGHT omg It's the drug that makes us dream. Smoking DMT is the shortcut version of lucid dreaming. | ||

I've read the book and I've watched tons of documentaries on DMT and Ayahuasca. I'm going to go with ayahuasca first. The buildup to the experience isn't anywhere as instant as straight DMT | ||

Game of Thrones is probably the only (edit: post-Tolkien) epic fantasy that's actually worth reading. Not true, in my opinion. The Malazan Book of the Fallen is definitely worth a read. | ||

2. Currently reading Game of Thrones, thought the series was fun so decided to read the book. Good stuff! 3. Rest of the books in a song of ice and fire, obviously :p Edit: Waaaaaahh, images doesn't wanna show.. | ||

DMT: The Spirit Molecule is not required reading for DMT use; in fact, reading that book prior to the experience will likely influence the event in one way or another, which is fine and dandy. A still mind and some experience with lighter psychedelics is all that one really needs though (and even the latter is up for debate ) | ||
