I love reading and learning new things and I would be interested into see what your guys' favorite books are. Graham Hancock, Manly P. Hall, Terrence and Dennis McKenna, Aldous Huxley, Timothy leary, Rick Strassman, Ede Frecska, Jeremy Narby, slawek wojtowicz, luis Eduardo luna, and of course alexander and ann shulgin. Those are the main authors I'm into that I can name off the top of my head. Can't wait to see your recommendations!

"Einstein's Dreams" by Alan Lightman is one of my favorite books! It is several short stories about dreams Einstein may have had. Each story captured my imagination. This is the first book that popped in my head. It really does stick out as my favorite. I also enjoyed "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav. It's a book about the connection between physics and spirituality. It attempts to make a correlation between science and religion. It's interesting.

A few unlisted authors and literature I can think of are Wade Davis, Thomas B. Roberts, James Redfield, Dan Simmons, William S. Burroughs, and J.D. Arthur.  'What's going to happen?' 'Something wonderful.'
Skip the manual, now, where's the master switch?
We are interstellar stardust, the re-dox co-factors of existence. Serve the sacred laws of the universe before your time comes to an end. Oh yes, you shall be rewarded.

Third Circle Theory by Pejman Ghadimi. This is a personal growth book that really packs an objective punch. It is about this author's perspective upon how an individual walks the road of actualization within the world/society. It's actually quite sobering in terms of pulling oneself out of the bias quicksandery of life. I suggest the read to anyone, even if you find yourself to be in a state of self-peace. my loopy guess is that t. mckenna is off hopping about hyperspace wielding a butterfly net analog, all the while collecting the most peculiar.
