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.

The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers is pretty fun in a time-travelling, spell-casting, body-swapping way though not quite as out there as Dick or Wilson.

Valis is "true"?!?!?

look it was an alright read... in all of it's forms ( the author became obbsesed with this one considerinf he thought that the laser beam had transmitted the information into his head) but I think that that was described better in "radio free albermuth". but that may just be me.

It's not that interesting of a mind fuck... it's a great read of a genius authors decent into madness ( well valis, and the other books of it's ilk) but any mindfuck that ends with the author committing suicide over it just doesn't seem like a good mindfuck to  me.

#1. PKD based "Valis" on his own experiences tripping on something, I forget what. He saw the phosphenes and all the weird shit.
#2. He did not commit suicide, he had a series of strokes followed by a massive heart attack.

Dr Seuss. Total mind fuck. No, seriously. When you go from drawing anti-nazi cartoons to cat in a hat? Mindfuck.

Serioulsy, you need to go read something completely different.  Or go to the light, the bright yellow one, the one they call...the sun...Your brain and your mind need a fucking break.  If you must read, I agree with Dr Suess, only read it out loud, to a child.  Seriously :wink:
