Has anyone read either the Principia Discordia or the Illuminatus! Trilogy?

Principia Discordia is about the most fun I've ever had with a "religious" book, and it's a short read outlining the basic tenants of Discordianism -- which may or may not be a joke religion...up to you to decide, I suppose.

The Illuminatus trilogy (Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea) is kind of a psyho-political exploration and critique of the Illuminati conspiracy. If you've ever read Faulkner or William S Burroughs, you might have some fun with it, too.

Both are great reads.
Should be on everyone's reading list.

Fnords abound!

It was mostly written by Mr. Wilson.
But then the initials would not have spelled RAW BS, yah?

Hail Eris!
and aloha

Always nice to be directed to a good book. Looks like I should get a nook/kindle and start doing 21st century reading. Will flag this and come back to titles when I have more time! Thanks pr
