- 1968 Book Club Edition. Farrar, Straus and Giroux
- Tom Wolfe writes about Ken Kesey, a promising young writer, during Kesey's experimentations with LSD from about 1961 to 1964. Kesey leaves his home in Oregon for Stanford University. There he encounters LSD . Throughout the course of the story more and more people join into their small group, and one can see parallels between the forming of their group and the forming of a new religion. As the group gains an almost psychic connection, they decide to try to bring their message to the masses, and set up the first of many "Acid Tests". These tests were giant parties with blacklights, dayglow paint, colorful costumes, and massive amounts of LSD. The book goes on to cover early performances by The Grateful Dead, and Kesey's exile to Mexico.

* The plot focuses on Eliot Rosewater, the primary trustee of the philanthropic Rosewater Foundation whom one of the family lawyers, Norman Mushari, is attempting to have declared insane to enable a more distant relative, Fred Rosewater, an insurance salesman from Rhode Island, to gain control. The novel is told mostly through a collection of short stories dealing with Eliot's interactions with the citizens of Rosewater County, usually with the last sentence serving as a punch line. The antagonist's tale - Mushari's - is told in a similar short essay fashion. These stories usually reveal different hypocrisies of mankind in a very dark and humorous fashion.
* Delacourt Press / Seymour Lawrence, 1965, First Edition Thus, 203 pages
* Very clean inside and out. Slight roll to spine is only real flaw. Very minor shelfwear to cover.

by Ayn Rand
Stated Second Printing of 1st edition
Book is in Very Good condition for age. No DJ
* One of the classics of modern fiction
* From Wikipedia: The plot expresses Ayn Rand's beliefs in regards to multiple facets of her philosophy. The collapse of society when the "men of the mind" go on strike in response to their exploitation presents Ayn Rand's belief in the necessity to human life of reason, independent-mindedness, individualism, individual rights, and the market economy. In the world of Atlas Shrugged, society stagnates when independent productive achievers began to be socially demonized and even punished for their accomplishments, even though society had been far more healthy and prosperous by allowing, encouraging and rewarding self-reliance and individual achievement. Independence and personal happiness flourished to the extent that people were free, and achievement was rewarded to the extent that individual ownership of private property was strictly respected.
