I’m afraid it’s not my head hurting.

i always find this question difficult to answer

Ulysses, James Joyce. Damien, Herman Hesse. Kafka, Robert Anton Wilson. George Orwell. Crowley. Castaneda. Chomsky. Peter. J. Carroll. The Bitcoin Standard. The Bitcoin White Paper. Stanislav Grof. William. S. Burroughs. Terence McKenna. Nietzsche. Jung. Israel Regardie, et al.

All have had an impact. But Ulysses and Damien hold a special place in heart and mind.

Damien being the first book read cover 2 cover. Its impact profound.
