if you can't fix it with duct tape, it probably can't be fixed...

Yeah... Was intrested in reading the trilogy, but I'm not that sure where to find it. Maybe I can be lazy/stupid and just try and download it somewhere... Or can I find it in just 'normal' online shops like amazon.com or ebay?

Now, I know what you are/are not thinking: this guy could have looked on amazon.com or ebay first to find out, instead of posting the question here stupidly!

Well that's right, I could have done. But I didn't. And that cannot be changed, unless I, in a sudden spur of mercy and courage, decide to not post this message.

Yes, you can find Illuminatus! in most large bookstore chains, and on amazon.com...

I think they put it under Shea's name in the last one I went to.Just so you know to check there too.
"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!

Thanks! I guess I'll check my local library first, so maybe I can borrow it for free instead of buying it from a bookshop...

Quote from: horabi got the impressiont hat they cut things out of the omnibus ed. that were int eh original. as well with shrodinger's cat.


What made you think parts had been cut out?  I know that some was 'lost' on its way to the publisher, or so the story goes, but I've never heard of any being cut.

I think . . .

As far as I knew, they added stuff to the omnibus edition, which was released after the trilogy did so well.  It wasn't supposed to be three boks in the beginning.

I'll check my copy of cosmic trigger when I get home.  RAW talks about it.
