From Wikipedia:

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a literary journalism book written by Tom Wolfe early in his career in 1968. Using techniques from the genre of hysterical realism and pioneering new journalism, he tells the story of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters as they drive across the country in a DayGlo painted school bus dubbed "Furthur," reaching what they considered to be personal and collective revelations through the use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs. It covers their cross country road trip, as well as the Acid Tests, early performances by The Grateful Dead, and Kesey's exile to Mexico. Wolfe is primarily concerned not with narrative, but with relating the Pranksters' intellectual and quasi-religious experiences.

I may start all of those after I'm finished with Good Omens. I like the idea of the slightly off take on fairy tales. It's good to see a different perspective..

I picked up Wicked expecting a happy fun story like the musical plot line and was rather shocked by how dark the actual book was. How are you liking it so far?

I'm re-reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman right now because I wanted to have the book fresh in my head when I go to see the movie.
