    That's funny because the book was suggested to me in a conversation about 1984 :p


    BTW - what's the connection to the doors?

    Huxley wrote the "Doors of Perception," an essay on mescaline effects. Morrison and Manzarek loved the name.

    It's a bit dry. Sasha and Ann Shulgin's "PIHKAL" is MUCH better.

    But, I do own it, and I read it from time to time. Usually right after "Politics of Ecstacy."

    BNW is a great book. Huxley is by far my fav author. If you liked this book After Many a Summer Dies the Swan is a wicked good book as well, my personal favorite by Huxley.
