I'll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it's about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I'll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.

What is the wackiest / craziest book you've read and did you enjoy the ride?

I'm lying a little, because I don't think it's crazy. But I do think it would be considered crazy. It's a book which is unconventional in appearance.

It's written by Ram Das, AKA Dr. Richard Alpert, a Harvard psychologist who, early in the history of the subject of psychology, became enamoured with psychedelics, together with others of his academic comrades. A nice book. Still gets me high in the right setting.
