Speaking of "60s Counterculture" (and a bit of history previous to it),
for those who may be interested, a *very* interesting and very  
detailed book is:

Acid Dreams, The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, The  
Sixties, and Beyond
by Martin A. Lee & Bruce Shlain, with an introduction by Andrei Codrescu

One of the most fascinating (and sometimes very disturbing) books I  
have ever read.
It tells both the Light and Dark sides of the whole story, and it  
reveals more than ya may ever want to know
about Dr. Hoffman's "problem child". (his words) :-)    I just about  
read it non-stop, cover to cover.
