I still haven't read Illuminatus, and I've had a PDF of it for a long time.

Damn, reading it in dead tree format, with highlighting, scribbled notes etc is hard enough... trying it via PDF may make my brain implode.

You'd probably get the worst incarnation of it, the Steve Jackson version. (shudder).


Sadly, that's not the worst incarnation. Not even close.

This is the one to avoid at all costs:

It has been stripped of all its graphics.

I have the Steve Jackson one too I think its great. Is there a better one?

But I know its not "Discordia: Hail the Goddess of Chaos and Confusion" they really messed it up. They added stuff and made it cost more.

Also check http://urbandictionary.com and http://uncyclopedia.org you can learn a lot about Discordia there! :lol:

Here's the prices on Amazon for the PD without pictures

3 new from $7.60   3 used from $25.60

Oooh, nice.  What all is in that one?

And why does no one ever mention the Summa Discordia? I like it almost as much as the PD.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

1. Fooled by Randomness by Nicholas Taleb (or Black Swan by same author. Talks about the same things, I liked the first better)

2. Transmetropolitan is a comic. IMO it's better at discordianism than Inviisbles cause the latter is also more about random occult transdimensional weirdness, and Transmet is simply pretty much the most fucking cool cyberpunk gonzo journalism story EVAR. I have no idea how difficult it is to get in dead tree format, but you can get the entire series off torrent (isohunt.com) easily.

3. maybe a bit odd to suggest in a list of books, but register at POEE.co.uk where you can read (nearly) all of Roger's essays, rants and stories. They're nicely ordered in their own subforum. They make for real good (and funny) reading, and taught me a lot about discordian (/subgenius) stuff that may be based on "the literature", but is in fact the result of one man (Raingod) thinking for himself, one way of living discordianism.

Your troll would have had the desired effect 2-3 years ago.  It's played out, now.

Discordia Totalis
Description: A compilation of 5 great works of Discordia, the Principia Discordia, The Metaclysmia Discordia, The Summa Discordia, The Book Of Eris, Zenarchy & The Zenarchist Cookbook, as an addendum I have also added the Apocrypha Discordia. All the works are (K) Kopyleft, All Rights Reversed... and found publically online. Eris wouldn't have it any other way.

i liked it cause the pdf was free and the hardcover appears to be at cost.
plus hurts like the dickens if you hit someone with it. too many meh
only dislike of the book is the number of blank pages which at this stage are almost counter productive as it weakens the binding a bit if you have alot

i wanna cut pages out but a friend has it under their protection
