Re: Graham Hancock: Supernatural / The stoned age

Anyone here read this?
I read about a 1/3 or more of the book, just skimming through it, trying to take in all the drug related bits (I wasn't all that interested in the cave art stuff at first, but may read the entire book in the future). The trip reports are quite interesting and it features some beautiful art, especially the ayahuasca inspired art. I found it to be a good followup read to Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna.
Graham Hancock makes mention of Shulgin, Leary, Huxley, Mckenna and especially Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule. With the many citations in this book, I decided I must finish reading Strassman's masterpiece. And there is an interview in the book with Strassman.
This book provides thought-provoking theories about how altered states of consciousness (often but not always drug-induced) are responsible for all religions.
It is a very big read. It includes info on UFOs, aliens, drugs, shamanism, cave art, egyptology, religion and more.
If you have an interest in history, the supernatural and drugs, I would definitely recommend this book.
