Jimi Hendrix and Mark Twain were both Sagittarians but here’s another tie:
There is a passage in “Following The Equator” where Twain describes the most thriling experience of his life as the time he was hurtling down a Himalayan mountainside on a tiny-gauge railcar through a “dreamy purple haze”.

I kinda liked this book for awhile. Some weird humor and appealing to see what is was like to travel at the time of Twain. I thought it was a litte long and dull and though (only read 3/4 of it). Not very exciting and a lot of quotes from additional esoteric sources. Also, he makes reference to Arabian nights while in India. Aren’t persons tales set in the middle east and north africa? (kinda lame)
