what do y'all feel about books? I find them cool and good. let's talk about those or somethign or wjatever.

to kick it all off, who do you think would be cool to share a bong with? personally I think like younger monsieur Swann, from the time in Swann's Way when he is all into obsessing over that one little phrase in the sonata, would be extremely fun company while high. I could totally picture him doing a weed shake and hit up the art museums in amsterdam

I wanna toke up with Harry Dresden, because 1) He's a wizard, and 2) he could spark up your joint with a little forzare! and ka-blam, you're all lit up!

The building will be on fire and it WILL be your fault...

ISOLT only rewritten by thomas bernhard, and is thus almost indistinguishable from the original except he never meets Albertine and spends the whole novel being extremely bitter about everybody he has ever heard of

I feel like radagast the brown was probably a super-chill ultra-powerful entity who didn't have any sort of will to power, kind of like tom bombadil. I bet he got stoned out of his mind constantly and just hung out with forest animals and that would be super rad imo

gandalf said radagast had "much lore of herbs and beasts." I bet he knew a whole fuckton about herbs alright.

Working in animal welfare and conservation teaches u there are two types of people that get into the field, straight laced Christians and Radagasts wreathed in weedsmoke

there are many characters from books I would get blazed to poo poo with, for instance Ginny from the Waves, Molly Bloom, Daisy Buchanan, Janie Crawford, Lady Chatterly, Marianne Dashwood, Fanny Hill, Daisy Miller, Nancy from Oliver Twist, Shug, Emma Woodhouse, Circe, Calypso. I would smoke weed with all these ladies because I bet they would let me hit it

I'd smoke up with Oscar Wilde characters and the Stephen Dedalus from Joyce's books because he's his alter ego n that probably means he also likes nasty fart sex which would be cool and funny to talk about while passing a j

this is probably not the nicest thing but I bet that guy from the tell-tale heart would be real easy to prank after a few tokes, "do you hear somebody burping?" "was that a fart just now, coming from the floorboards?"

hi thanks for this thread. I started reading a book yesterday and wanted to post about it!

I decided to get back into the Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter because even though I was stoned out of my mind when I read it last and can't remember much at all, I remember it blew my mind on several levels.

if I got to share a bong with someone it would be Isaac Asimov. imagine if he was a byob poster..!

Pot Smoke Phoenix: Smoke 'em if you gottem!

Imagine smoking a joint in a car with Corwin of Amber driving.

You spark it up, take a hit, and pass it to one of the Nine Princes.

He takes a hit and with a wink and smile, passes it back to you.

Then the Hell Ride into Shadows begins.

Strap in, buckle up and hold on because you just have no idea...
