This classic non-fiction novel written in 1967 tells the tales of novelist Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters in the 1960’s as they lead a group of psychedelic sympathizers around the country in the painted bus called Furthur. Furthur was driven by the legendary Neal Cassady whom Dean Moriarty’s character in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road was based. LSD was legal in the U.S. until 1966 and this book chronicles the hallucinogenic LSD-induced “acid tests” during their travels. This book is still a best-seller about the history of the hippies, an iconic group that represents the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
