BURNING BOOKS: DROP CITY
T.C. Boyle's brilliant 2003 novel centers around the "beautiful people" and easy living in a Northern California commune where idealism and reality meet face to face amid a pungent haze of pot smoke. Hardcore heads may prefer Boyle's novel Budding Prospects, about an ill-fated outdoor grow operation, but Drop City is the superior story, particularly for anyone who ever wondered what it really must have been like to turn on, tune in, and drop out in the '60s.
