TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

That's what I was thinking. I'm kind on a Abbey jag right now.

Naked Lunch is a hard read.  I loved it, but I had to read it twice before I understood anything, and three times before I felt like I got it at the level I get most books from a quick read.

I definitely suggest reading that one, but make sure it gets all your attention.

Personally I didn't enjoy the only Camus book I read at all, it was the Stranger though, rather than one of those two.  Could have been the translator but I didn't find his writing style engaging at all.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable
