Robert A Wilson, Hunter S. Thompson, Terry Pratchett
And I'm sure there's more. Hell, I'll probably think of more soon
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

anything by Cormac McCarthy. Not "discordian-type" stories, but the dude is a great writer who doesn't believe in bothering with things like punctuation, so reading his stuff can make for a decent self-mindfuck.

Roddy Doyle has never heard of a set of "" marks, so his books are also pretty tricky to read. Damn funny though.

Quoteyou want books or "typical discordian" books?

Well I was looking for "discordian" books, but anything will do.  I'm pretty eclectic in what I read.

Thanks guys. Can't believe I forgot to list Pratchett though.   :roll:
