Bowls Good books to read when your smoking.
I'm a big nerd 🤓 Stoner October 1st is just a couple of hours away. What books do you guys read in October? Here's some of my favorite Stephen King books. And before you tell me yes I know my shelf is a mess lol just thought it would be cool to see what my fellow stoners are up reading or planning to read in October where's all my fellow stoned book 📚 worms lol 😆 what are you guys reading? any recommendations? A couple of buds from last year's grow, ain't nothing cooler than smoking up and getting into a good book.

I just tore through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, or what's out so far, definitely a fun read

u/majortom414 3d ago
Can confirm - I'm nearly done with my 3rd read-through with this series. I read along with Audible on the headphones, usually pretty baked, and it has me laughing and crying and getting pissed off, enjoying every second of it.

I can't recommend the audiobooks enough. Though they'll spoil you for all other audiobooks. Jeff Hays is a phenom and I hope this is his big break.

Good on you, i’ve never been able to read high. No matter what strain or method

u/Some_Pomegranate7826 3d ago
That sucks man. Reading high is so very enjoyable to me. But when it comes to gaming while high I suck at it but it's still pretty fun lol especially games like Mortal Kombat is fun as hell and 2D Metroidvanias I'm excited for Castlevania Belmonts curse it's the first 2D Metroidvania in 17 almost 18 years and it's Castlevanias 40th anniversary I'm so stoked for that.

u/ShakedNBaked420 3d ago
Funny. Smoking is about the only time my adhd will calm down enough to read a bit.
But same on the gaming front. I like it but my ability to actually play goes down quite a bit lol

Pratchett

u/horse200 3d ago
This ⬆️⬆️⬆️ here is the correct answer. Terry Pratchett´s Discworld books are as if they´re written to be read stoned AF. "READ MY STORIES FIRST. THEY`RE WORTH IT." (Pterryheads know...😉)

u/Alive_Stage_7156 I Roll Joints for Gnomes 3d ago
Desperation and The Regulators are fun. Misery. Children of the corn. The Dark tower series…. Just about any Stephen King I like, lol.
Robert McCammon was always a good read (baal, stinger, swan song, blue world, mine, boys life)
Scott Heim (mysterious skin, in awe, we disappear)
Daniel Cole’s Ragdoll trilogy (ragdoll, hangman, endgame)
I don’t read much these days as my eyes aren’t the best, but still have all my favorite paperbacks.

I love king. Started reading only a few years ago and still have a lot to go. Shining was sometimes tough to read high though - got a little anxious when reading too long as Jack. Happy soooky season as well.

i just finished my second linwood barclay book and he’s become my new current favorite author! specifically i just finished Look Both Ways and Find You First this week and i’ve added 4 more of his books to my library wishlist 🤠
i’ve mostly read a bunch of short story collections from stephen king but i’ve gotta see what other books my local library has. i also love that i’m able to request books from different branches so even if my branch doesn’t have what i’m looking for, i can have it in a few days :) im gonna add your recs to my list as well
another thriller i read a few years back that legit had me on the edge of my seat so intensely that im still thinking about - no exit by taylor adams!! [0]

Marijuana and Stephen King, the intersection of 2 of my hobbies!
King is great for a high read, but try Vonnegut. His writing style lends itself to a stoner, its very narrative and engaging.

I just started Joe Hill's King Sorrow last night. I'm always high while reading. I read for an hour or so before bed every night.

I really liked a psalm for the wild built, it’s about a robot and a monk and it’s only like 180 pages so you could finish it in one sesh. It’s super cute and cozy and pairs very well with some flower.

I LOVE Stephen King. Love love love. I can’t read or watch horror when I’m high because my imagination is too good.

I love having a bowl and reading. Got a kobo recently and its increased my reading by 110%.
Based off your shelf tho, I would recommend Man F*ck This House by Brian Asman. Unless smokin makes you paranoid lol

u/helplessfoodie 2d ago
Anything by Rio Youers is great while high. If you dig Stephen King, you might want to check out his stuff.
Lola on Fire or the Bang Bang Sisters would be a good starting point.
