The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. It's about Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, his group of avant-artists, the Merry Pranksters, and how they pretty much birthed the movement that eventually resulted in the Summer of Love in Haight-Ashbury, San Fransisco, CA. Very good read, especially if you're interested in the realm of psychedlia and life in the 60s.
