This weekend, I finally got around to reading The Doors of Perception (Aldous Huxley). It's one of those books I've always felt - insecurely - that I should have read by now. I'm actually glad, however, that I didn't try to read this when I was much younger, before having any exposure to or understanding of Eastern religion. I would have been far more confused than illuminated. In any case, I thought it was amazing, and I would highly recommend it!
