The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I just finished chapter 18: "Cosmo's Tasmanian Deviltry", with its retelling of the legend of Owsley's freakout at the Muir Beach Acid Test. Funny stuff.

The electric Kool-Aid acid test by Tom Wolfe. In a way I feel sorry that we don't have these kind of counter-cultural, non-conformist movements anymore. A hipster just isn't the same as a hippie... Reading this book has been an experience, although I'm not sure what exactly. I guess I'm just "on the bus"!
