NP: novels about LSD?

[K. Brecher]

Just cause I like you, Doug, check out The Invisible Circus by Jennifer 
Egan. It's got an acid trip rendered with such limpid grace, or graceful 
limpidity, it'll give you a flashback, you old swingin' hippie you. On a 
Pynchon related note, anything by Rudolph Wurlitzer's fairly acid drenched. 
I'm thinking of Nog, 'specially its trippy pb cover.
