judging from his interview with the stoner podcast, i think it goes somewhat like this:

- wake up late
- drink some coffee
- do some writing, probably 1-2k a day
- go on a walk to the park
- get stoned
- read a book
- go home
- get more stoned
- do exercise
- eat some kind of weird root or fruit
- watch stupid conspiracy theory youtube videos
- listen to podcasts
- secretly bump threads related to tao lin on /lit/
- sleep

looking forward to your book on terence mckenna, tao. do you ever listen to the psychadellic salon podcast?

if i ever get as famous as you i'll acknowledge /lit/ too. just gotta get through the gatekeepers first.

the bar is still low enough for him to do this by simply ripping off /r/researchchemicals posts. His only competition is that skinny kike on vice.

He is basking in the glow of an advance review by the highly influential Publishers Weekly of his new book, Trip:

"Novelist Lin (Taipei, Shoplifting from American Apparel, etc.) chronicles his experiences with various psychedelic drugs in his first nonfiction book, weaving autobiography, history, and spiritual journey together to pose existential questions. Drawn to psychedelics by the life and work of Terence McKenna, an advocate for psychedelic drugs, Lin begins documenting individual trips on substances like psilocybin and salvia as well as the history of each substance. In detailing his own history of drug use, Lin separates addictive, mood-changing drugs like cocaine and caffeine from mind-altering psychedelics, which he credits with providing the imaginative, profound experiences that have reshaped his lonely, empty worldview into one more routinely populated by awe and magic. The psychedelics Lin zeroes in on are all naturally occurring, and he is best at examining and questioning the illegality and societal suppression of substances that he contends allow him to safely explore topics like time and consciousness. A lengthy epilogue, in which he switches to a third-person narrative, follows Lin to San Francisco on a visit with Kathleen Harrison, McKenna’s ex-wife and a strong proponent of psychedelics herself. It’s here that Lin’s tendency to rattle off precise measurements and scientific terms in quick succession starts to feel a bit long-winded. He eventually steers the epilogue toward a level of personal clarity that perfectly punctuates an introspective work of this depth and caliber. (May)"
