And it's really what it is, is Lewis Carroll, is the lyrics or Lewis Carroll. Wow, wow, that's crazy. But Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice in Wonderland, in Alice in Wonderland was also about LSD.

Why people recommend it

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a classic literary masterpiece following a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantastical, nonsensical underground realm populated by peculiar creatures. Joe Rogan discussed the book on The Joe Rogan Experience, connecting its psychedelic and literary undertones to the creative influences behind iconic music and suggesting the narrative reflects altered states of consciousness. David Gelb mentioned Alice in Wonderland on How I Write to compare its unique outsider dynamic to cinematic storytelling in animated films. Patti Smith shared on The Ezra Klein Show that the work was among the many fairy tales and adventure stories she eagerly read during her youth. Dr. David Eagleman also referenced the book on The Jordan Harbinger Show while describing his surreal childhood memories of falling off a house under construction. Generations of readers and creators continue to draw inspiration from its whimsical yet deeply philosophical exploration of reality, identity, and imagination.
