Confessions of an English Opium Eater

A fascinating insight into a different life from the one I've led, so far at least.
It only seems right to read The Doors of Perception next!
Thomas de Quincey really landed on his feet when the Wordsworths moved out of, what was to become later, Dove Cottage in Grasmere and he moved in.
The book not only chronicles the opium eating, but also the social history of the times in England, before the Victorian era started, and as such is fascinating on two levels.
Recommended.

This was the first adult book I read when I was about 8. Needless to say I didn't get much out of it, but learnt a lot of new words. I still have the book and will soon read it again.
