Currently reading acid dreams and can confirm, the book is great, packed full of detail

>>8711403
Speaking of Hubert. How different is the novel of Requiem for a Dream compared to the movie.

I always see the comparison between the movie adaptation of Requiem and Trainspotting(and at least in my opinion RFAD adaptation decides to portray the story in a similar way to a horror movie, meanwhile Trainspotting to walks between a realistic way and something out of a music video).

In my country trainspotting is everything

Also, The Teachings of Don Juan, by Carlos Castenada and Junky, by Burroughs.

Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly is the most brilliant novel about drugs and drug user's I've read.

I've been one and I can tell that he really knows them.

Ale faza, ja pierdole.

Drugs arent very /lit/, more /tv/

>>8717470
Some of the greatest works of literature have been written under the influence of drugs or were inspired by them. Burroughs, DeQuincy, Huxley, Kerouac...

Drugs are more /lit/ than /tv/

You don't know much about the proper use of psychedelics. Their effect is not the same as the 'trippy' process while taking them.

Man, how does being 19 feel? I've actually forgotten. Please become more well read, m8.

I've read quite a bit and Burroughs is underrated. Have you read him?

I once listened to an audiobook of The Sisters by James Joyce at 360 mcg of acid. It was on the comedown, but still it was awesome. I felt like I had a deeper understanding and I could imagine the everything in great detail.

I'm not >>8718850
but the original poster and I'm 24
I didn't mean to imply Burroughs was the height of literature, his work is just a really good example of drug-related literature

I agree with >>8717534
with exceptions of cannabis, maybe coffee and some other drugs that I believe do enhance reading

Drugs without a doubt enhance writing

It such a shame that most of his works are not translated.
