Some Sad News - Terence McKennas Notes and Library Destroyed

This was written by Erik Davis...

"For those who knew Terence or enjoyed his library, the fire is a tragedy, and not simply because it consumed his private papers. Terence's library reflected the multidimensional facets of his own mind: mysticism and history, drugs and dreams, science fiction and systems theory, natural history and art. Terence was a head who fed his head with books more than the drugs he became known for. I will never forget the sheepish look he gave me six months or so before his death, as he forked over a fistful of twenties for a copy of Empson's Cult of the Peacock Angel, a rare book on the Yezidis that he bought from an esoteric book dealer I knew. It was a look that said, Please don't tell my girlfriend. "

I'd have loved to have read that Peacock Angel book. I'd have loved to browse McKennas library. And the loss of his notes and working papers is a real shame.
