Traversing the nation with the Merry Pranksters as they “transcended the bullshit” felt like a hellacious hallucination, but I love reading about 60s counterculture. I can’t say I was a huge fan of this particular story, mostly due to that pompous ass Ken Kesey, but Wolfe’s writing is mesmerizing. The audio is fabulous.

I read this book in high school and it is still one of my all-time favorites. Am a hippy at heart. Peace
