I'm not really sure what to say about this one. I can see why it was popular in the 60s, its something you could dwell or meditate on a single line of (mind-expanding substances optional).
Some of it seems over-simple to a modern reader, possibly because of how much the ideas have influenced and mixed into popular consciousness. It's more of a manifesto or spiritual guide, there's not really a plot.
I wouldn't say it's life-changing but worth a read.
