>philosophy
plato and the neoplatonists, my man kierkegaard, descartes' "discourse on the D," NEETzsche, augustine. don't try to read Kant while you're high unless you've got a direct line to the noumena.

>fiction
last time i was stoned (years ago), i read "if on a winter's night a traveler..." and distinctly recall physical sensations impressed upon me from the prose—such as when the kid from chapter 2 is wrestling the other boy over that picture of a woman. a much better book than i expected.

>poetry
if you have a weakness for melancholy, keats. wordsworth, if you're older and more sentimental. john ashberry and richard wilbur are the only two modern fellas of whom i can think worth a damn.

>starets zosima chapters
excellent recommendation. i love when he asks that woman, "are you being sincere?" and she confesses that she can't escape being conscious of others' perception of her. hilarious and timeless
