Saying Finnegan's Wake is a unique book is an understatement. I've only read a number of pages so I can't say much about it but I know once you start reading it, you can never truly finish.
The last sentence of the book starts like this...
The whole book is a loop so it never ends. The book is also a fractal, in that the first word describes the whole book as does the first sentence, the first paragraph, the first page etc. I haven't read it all yet so I can't go into detail about it but there are summaries that explain it better than I can. Click the book to download the ebook. It's in html format. You can go to the site the book came from here.

Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna is about our history and time before written history, from approximately a million years ago to about six thousand years ago.
He explains how our ancestors lived in a paradise in the grasslands and how we evolved rapidly with the use of psychedelic psilocybin mushrooms. We had language, stories, dance, magic, art, etc. and we were in harmony with the earth. He says we fell into history around six thousand years ago and have been in a state of turmoil ever since. At some point in the near future we may (or at least should try to) return to this archaic paradise. You can find the Terence McKenna section here.
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
Aldous Huxley was an author whose family had several brilliant minds. He dabbled in psychedelics and wrote several books. The one everyone knows is Brave New World, which is about a dystopia in which everyone is drugged on pills to relieve any mental pain. He wrote some essays about his psychedelic use which are in The Doors of Perception. His first novel was Crome Yellow which is a satire about a group of intellectuals who stay together in the estate called Crome Yellow. The time is the early 20th century and they discuss many things they are concerned with in that era. Here is the wikipedia entry of Huxley. It goes into a lot more detail than I have.
The Book of Secrets, by Osho, is a book based on Osho's lectures on the 112 techniques of meditation from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, a 5,000 year old Indian text. The basis of the text is Shiva and Devi. Devi asks Shiva questions, and he gives her these methods, not any answers to her questions.
Osho discusses each technique in detail and answers various questions given to him from his listeners. These are only methods; a matter of how, not what. It is a huge book, a tome really, consisting of over 1,100 pages. To order the book, click on the picture. These techniques are scientific and have nothing to do with religion. They do not care who or what you are or what type of person you are. They don't tell you what you will experience when you get to the center of your being since that can't be explained, only experienced. They only tell you a way to get there. Also you see the word Tantra, so you might think, sex. Sure, sex is involved, but for the most part Tantra is misunderstood when it comes to sex. If you are into meditation and spirituality, this is, in my humble estimation, the best book you can get. If you're not, it is still a great book, and who knows what you may discover about yourself. If you wish to read just the 112 methods to Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, follow the link. If you're looking for ebooks, Project Gutenberg has over 17,000 free books.
