The beauty of reading is that a book can take you anywhere. Whether you like to read physical copies or on a screen, books have the ability to take us on adventures and teach us new things.

To celebrate just how much we love books, we’ve assembled a list of our 50 favorite books to read while high. From fiction books filled with classic conundrums to non-fiction books that will open up your mind, each book on this list will give you the opportunity to relax, ponder, learn, or all three!
