Reading while stoned.

[night501]

So i am an avid reader and am also a stoner.
I find that is is a totaly diffrent experience reading while stoned as apposed to reading sober.
I find that i get into the story more. Sometimes i will finish an entire novel in a day cause i was so into it while stoned.

Dose anyone else love reading stoned? if so what do you read?

I myself get into alot of psychological thrillers and mysteries. I have almost finished all of the alex celaware novels by Jonathan Kellerman, and i have read Stephen Kings "The Dark Tower' series like 5 times. I am always looking for another good book cause i go threw about 2 in a regualr week.
I know what your saying to yourself and yes i do have a life but i spend 4 hours a day on the bus to get to and from work.

night501 I read all the time blitz. I very rarely read fiction books. I read technical,scientific and history books.
One of my favorite fiction books are a series by carlos castaneda "The Teachings of Don Juan"

 

[night501]

I have read that actually. A little long winded for my taste but it was a good read.
I read alot of nonfiction to but i generaly gravitate tward fiction. I guess it is just another escape from my dismal reality.

Anyone else notice that you read the same line 8 times before your eyes eventually get to the next line?

Yep. And the longer I look at it the more I realize I probably need glasses.

I am the same way Hippy. I can't read at all when I am stoned. It takes me a half hour to read one page.

Night501, if you haven't try reading Lord of the Rings (you probably have). The way Tolkien creates a visual picture is unreal, though unfortunately I only read it sober And I read it long before the movie came out so I got the full effect (in other words I didn't see Elijhah Woods running around )

I can really zone out on a sentence while stoned.
Who is everyone's favorite writers?
I still can't seem to get away from Stephen King after all these years.I've read the Dark Tower series like three stinking times now.

 

[HippyInEngland]

Who is everyone's favorite writers?

Wilbur Smith.

 

[SmokinMom]

Nicholas Sparks, James Patterson, Maeve Binchy

And various romance novelists....lol.

 

[canibanol cannonball]

"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas A. Adams
best read ever....get the full 5-6 sub books all in one book.
......and the movie was a embarrasment.

Stephen Covey

I used to read high, but I'd end up zoning out dreaming other things.

I much prefer to write high.

 

[nikimadritista]

I'm reading the Howard Marks Book of Dope Stories... Stoned most of the time...
Started the book in August... Still got another 100 pages left... Somehow I always fall asleep...
I love reading stoned though... Writing too... I guess that's why I spent most of my free time on this forum.. I can read Write and be stoned at the same time.. lol

I am a very avid reader. I especially adore fantasy novels.

 

[cadlakmike1]

I just read "Night Watch" by Sergei Lukyanenko, it was a bestseller in russia and was recently translated into english. An urban horror/fantasy type book. I enjoyed it. i used to date a girl who read Kim Harrison, she writes a series of novels about vampires and witches and demons, this whole parallel world. Embarrassing to admit it, but i read them and really enjoyed them, but i think she(Kim Harrison) probably has a larger fan base amongst women. I do enjoy reading high, but not at all when i drink.

 

[night501]

Like above i stated that i am into jonathan kellerman, and stephen king. I also like john grisham, His law stories are good but i think that his works outside of his comfort zone where some of his best.(Highly recommend the bleachers and playing for pizza).
I really enjoyed just about everything by tolkien.
I will still to this day sit down and read an R.L. Stein Goosebumps.They are the books that got me into reading.
Basically i can read anything by anyone but i have to be into the story by the end of the second chapter or im probably not going to finish it.

 

[cadlakmike1]

That's what go me into reading too!(Goosebumps) My poor mom had to buy me a new one every time one came out when i was a kid. I'd love to read one now, just for old time's sake, my next visit to the bookstore i might pick one up. Are there still new ones being written or are you reading the one's from back in the day?

 

[night501]

I have no idea if there are any new ones. I am reading older ones.
I dont buy books anymore, it got to be a very expencive habit. I love the library.

 

[yimmy capone]

I read my college texts. I stopped smoking cus of probation for the moment and I noticed I don't stay as concentrated as when I was stoned.
Other then that I read Dr. Suess To my kids.
