Piece Epithetical Books I Have America Surrounded: A Biography of Timothy Leary

I loved Higgs' KLF and Stranger than we can Imagine so I bought this even though Leary did not really interest me. The book is great. More about society than this one crispy. Higgs gives the impression that almost everyone around Leary was odder than he was. Particularly those on the right side of the law.

Tim Leary truly was larger than life. Absolutely fascinating book about a man who became a legend through psychedelics.

An entertaining, and informative biography which sheds a lot of light on the roots and aims of the counter-culture whilst also being fun to read. I knew next to nothing about Leary before reading this book, but was tempted by the 99p Kindle edition, and am rather glad I was. Leary was no doubt an extraordinary guy; hugely charismatic, highly intelligent, and fearless, but also narcissistic, selfish and a sucker for the limelight. He must have had the constitution of an ox to have survived the

all of the craziness of his life was kind of presented as a list of one thing after another, which ended up being not so interesting

Fast-paced biog, and lots of interesting stuff (never knew the Black Panthers had an embassy in Algeria, for example). But I didn't get a very deep impression of what Leary might actually have been like, and crucially, the effect of psychedelics, so central to the book and to Leary, isn't very clearly explained. I mean, that's notoriously difficult to do, but quote some Huxley or something.

Much better than Greenfields book.
