Keir Haug's Reviews > Be Not Content- A Subterranean Journal

Having discovered this book in the mid-1980s at the Washington(MO) Public Library, I have read it every few years. It spoke to me because I was a minor freak in a minor freak tribe in Missouri. I think it is truly one of the best first person accounts of the rise of the LSD culture and the "hippies." I still haven't figured out how a small town library acquired a copy of this book, but I am grateful they did and I am grateful it was found by my brother. It has been a number of years since I read it and it will make a nice holiday read. The writing is mediocre at best, but the passion for the subject matter (his life) causes the story to rise above it. Read it if you have ever taken psychedelics. Read it if you want to know what it is like. Read it, if you can find it!

BTW, a used paperback copy (which is what I own) is going for $300 on the interwebs.
