Aldous Huxley, Doors of Perception (excerpt) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9eD7oSX7dg
The Doors of Perception is a philosophical essay, released as a book, by Aldous Huxley. First published in 1954, it details his experiences when taking mescaline. The book takes the form of Huxley's recollection of a mescaline trip that took place over the course of an afternoon in May 1953. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced, which range from the "purely aesthetic" to "sacramental vision". He also incorporates later reflections on the experience and its meaning for art and religion.

Today we've got a review of one of Kiran's personal top picks, Country: The Twisted Roots Of Rock 'n' Roll by Nick Tosches. A book with all sorts of stories of honky-tonk hell and rockabilly heaven; medieval myth and musical miscegenation; sex, drugs, and even murder. If this sounds like a bit of you, then grab yourself a copy and get stuck in.
