Just finished Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, what is some more fiction with the "psychedelic feel" if you will? Not necessarily just surrealism but that give you a sense of actually being on a drug or have the aesthetics of 1960s counterculture.

Can be either from the 60s or not I don't care just trying to read something that has the same feel. Should I check out Hunter S. Thompson's Curse of Lono

Sorry. I'm doing a shitty cut and paste job on my phone. Hard to type and I am lazy. If someone wants to be a saint and organize the lists then go ahead. Otherwise you just have to deal with my shitty phoneposting... at least until I go home and have a real computer. But at that point I will be tired and probably have forgotten about this thread.
