"Atlas Shrugged" is made fun of in the Illuminatus! trilogy (and more so in 'Schrodinger's Cat', the parallel-universe pseudo-sequel to I!3), I think RAW uses the title "Atlas Sneezed" in his book (yes, that's a AynRand/orgasm joke).
Telarus, KSC,
.__.  Keeper of the Contradictory Cephalopod, Zenarchist Swordsman,
(0o)  Tender to the Edible Zen Garden, Ratcheting Metallic Sex Doll of The End Times,

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

QuoteImmortals born in the thirteenth century, Lucien Riordan and Ranulf Styr have waited centuries to be reunited with their love. Want for her cemented their friendship through time even as it tore it apart. She changed their lives, made them want better, and they plan to show her that. There's only one catch—she's never met them before.


Eris Brue is flattered by Lucien and Ranulf's attention but they are her bosses. She doesn't want to get tangled up in an office romance, especially not with two men. Their joint seduction overcomes her resolve and she gives in even though she knows they are keeping secrets that could doom their relationship.


Centuries of planning have finally come to fruition. Lucien and Ranulf have a short amount of time to make Eris love them, because once time has her, everything could come to an end.

Telemachus Sneezed... both a joke about Ayn and Ulysses, at the same time.

Noob here! The link to the list of classic discordian reads is broken.

What recent books get to the heart of it?

Even though Peter Lamborn Wilson/Hakim Bey does not come out and say it, though he does come close on a few occasions, I have always considered him to be the second primary "thealogian," or "atheologian," or Discordianism thinker (Thornley and Hill aside). Of course RAW is the other for this period... you know, the pre-internet boom of Discordian texts. He did a few lecture tours with RAW, published reviews of his work (and vice versa), and wrote him a lovely obit in 5th Estate. [http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-lamborn-wilson-liquor-and-weed-for-him-were-bardic-fuel-peter-lamborn-wilson-s-obituary-f]

The early 1961-1964 Discordian documents stress the importance of non-canonical Discordian works and authors, who they dub "Compilers of Truth-Lay". It seems to me that TAZ, like so many other works (esp. Terry Southern's The Magic Christian) are rightfully placed on Discordian sites as Discordian in nature.
