what is some 'psychedelic' literature? I don't mean books explicitly dealing with psychedelics or studies on LSD and mushrooms, but rather stuff that intentionally produces a hallucinogenic feel when reading, that plays perceptive tricks on the mind, etc.

Also I'd say Valis and Scanner Darkly made me feel weird and disconnected.

Borges, some Pynchon stuff, Burroughs. The Illuminatus is kind of trippy but it also sort of sucks.

movies and music are more psychedelic than literature, most of the insane shit that happens on lsd is "beyond language" or maybe "below language" if you think of the brain like a computer and language is some assembly code running on the processor and the subconscious is the electricity across the logic gates, then lsd is lower than language, it's dream like, animalistic, usually if you try to get all logical you just fall into some weird loop that people who aren't tripping can't understand, so honestly i can't think of anything that really captures that experience unfortunately

Some of the passages in American Psycho did that for me. Might have just been because I was sleep deprived for several days while reading it though.

although ... Invisible Cities by Calvino, that's pretty fucking trippy actually now that i think about it, that kind of thing where the location, time and context keeps shifting on you, and everything is same, but totally different, and every so often you snap out of it and realize you're sitting on a coach having a conversation with someone before you get lost again...

To this I'll add If on a winters night a traveller also by Calvino. Felt very psychedelic to me and is my favourite book I've ever read.

drink the syrup out of the bottle, that's what i did, it tastes fucking nasty after a while though, it's actually kind of neat how some chemical engineer came up with a flavor that tastes good for one cup but fucking super gross after three, still just sip it down over an hour or two and you'll feel it
