Cosmic Banditos
I picked it up in a used book store several years ago. It's a hilarious and bizarre story of a drug smuggler who becomes fascinated with quantum physics.
Just remembered another set of books that I very rarely see mentioned. Author is Allan C. Weisbecker and he's only written 3 books, but his first 2 in particular are really great. They are written in a 'memoir' style and are mainly accounts of personal experiences, with some fictionalized/hallucinated tidbits interspersed. But there are tons of ideas presented regarding quantum physics, time and a whole range of 'meta' concepts from a psychedelic perspective. Besides all of that they are both extremely 'fun' & quick reads.

Cosmic Banditos - A. C. Weisbecker
Cosmic Banditos by A.C. Weisbecker
It's the story of a hilarious, drug-fueled path of insanity and violence burned through South America that makes Hunter S. Thompson look like Jane Austen. Also, it will teach you a surprising amount of quantum physics.
Mick Farren - The DNA Cowboys
Its got is all, fellowship, drugs, adventure, sex and buckets of general weirdness. Kind of DarkTowerish.
Allan Weisbecker - Cosmic Banditos
I had lots of awkward moments in public, trying (and failing) to stifle laughs. Great stuff. Worth it for the intro alone.
M. John Harrison - Light
This novel is unlike anything else I have read. That Harrison squeezes three stories in to this slim volume is a work of wonder.
John C. Wright - The Golden Age
If you like the Culture Novels, you will probably really like this.
Jeff VanderMeer - Veniss Underground
Disturbing and dark. Still haunts me.
Very similar story in Cosmic Banditos. An on the lam drug runner robs a physics professor and takes up the cause of applying quantum physics to his drug running world.
The link is to buy it at Amazon to keep this thing topical.
