Anyone here had any experiences of reading while stoned or on psychedelics? Any literary trips?
I had one of the most remarkable reading experiences while stoned.
>taking LSD in a free afternoon
>not into interacting with other human beings, pick up Lord of Rings for reading
>it is the scene when Glorfindel escorts Frodo to Rivendell.
>all those descriptions makes me feel like going out to see nature and shit, I carry the book under my arm and go read in a park nearby, under some trees.
>the singing of birds and the sound of the wind shaking the treetops makes me feel like I'm on middle earth. Some random hobbit chanting appears in the chapter, I start to sing it aloud as I walk by the trees.
>hippie.jpg
>suddenly I stop reading because I want to "taste" the words, and how much the written word is different to the spoken word, and I start to wonder how these words were invented as I gaze the satisfying pattern of a flower.
>decide to go back home, I open the book again and start to read some more, I'm disturbed because runes keep projecting behind the letters.
>rest until the effect is gone.
anyone has similar stories to share?

How much did you take?
Only thinking about plato's arguments on immortality as trying to leave ego behind. Also lots of will to write down thoughts but its kinda hard between waves of strong pleasure
Read a bit of Discourse on the Method by Descartes while I was peaking on mushrooms because it was the nearest book on hand. Crawled through it because I had to re-read a lot of lines, but when I understood what it was saying, it seems indescribably profound.
Read FW high on weed true story
Aye 6 HWBR seeds and read Rumi. Shit was cash
Middlemarch on shrooms: was only able to understand individual words, trying to reach and understand a second word at the same time felt like leaping from the gravity field of one planet to another. Really enjoyable but I would've had the same experience with a tv guide.

I'd rather just grab an audio recorder and go check out a roap swing or something. Once I try and start reading, I just become dyslexic, or the words start floating off the page.
