Also, the Steve Jackson copy is manageable,  Just avoid all the crap that he wrote and most of the stuff his fan-bois contributed.  There actually were a couple pieces that weren't that bad. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Not required reading:

-The Invisibles, a comic series by Grant Morrison. It stars a bunch of Discordians. The Wachowski brothers were inspired by Morrison, who wrote the series as a big hypersigil. The Matrix is based pretty closely on the themes in the Invisibles.


If you only read the Principia, you'll still be able to communicate with other Discordians. The Principia leads dedicated seekers down a number of interesting paths...
-Neurolinguistic programming
-Maybelogic
-the occult (and skepticism about it)
-intellectual property law
-conspiracy theory
-consciousness
-etc etc etc

again, none of it is required, but the more about Discordia you read, the more these themes keep coming up

I blame Cram IASON!!!!  :argh!:
Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

AFK

Yeah, I wasn't really keeping track of what was linked to where and what went down when and such.

Hey, thanks a lot guys. When I found out that all this was "real" I immediately attempted to look something up and was bombarded with so much weird shit that I couldn't process it all with my meager thinking apparatus. And for the record, I agree: free is preferred. But, when it comes to me and books, I need a physical copy. Especially old ones;I like to smell 'em.

Considering what we do to some of those books, that's pretty gross.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, the only thing on my list not in print is the Black Iron Prison because, well, we wrote it.  But you can get it as a snazzy PDF file to print, fold and staple together prior to reading.

So much material... Freaking loosing it...

I can also recommend the supplemental texts that Kerry Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst wrote) for a peak into the mind of one of the founders:

Zenarchy papers [http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/hambone/zenarchy.html]
The Dreadlock Recollections [http://www.ovo127.com/zines/ovo017.html]

Warning: While researching Kerry Thornley, you may happen across a picture of him fucking a chair. Don't say I didn't warn you.
