Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson

It's the autobiography of a brilliant and hilarious counter-culture figure and his thoughts/experiences with the occult, extraterrestrial intelligence, LSD, etc. Even if you think he's a crackpot (he stresses that he tries not to believe anything himself) it's a very fun and interesting read.

I try to bring it up in conversations and no one really knows what it is. Possibly my favorite book.
You will be glad to hear that I recommended that my library buy that book, and they agreed to.

That's awesome! Hopefully someone could find that book as an inspiration for writing like I have.
