I was going to bump this, but I clearly have no business here. Good day.

There was a shot of the cover in the bunker, or something.  I don't watch it, so this is only hearsay.

And yeah, same author.  Those fucking Irish writers...

I hadn't heard of that one. I'll have to take a look at it if it's fikkin' crazy. He has some other stuff that he wrote about a fictional philosopher/idiot named deSelby that I haven't checked out yet but sounds really interesting. But, yeah, if you can get a copy of it, I highly suggest it. Preferably an old copy, so you can smell it. 

I read At Swim Two Birds, and that was enough for me.

Is Third Policeman just as fucked up?

Also, did you pick it up because of Lost?

Haven't read that particular book, is that by O'Brien as well? Either way, it was fucked up. It tweaked my crazy-head without LSD . And, no, it was actually suggested to me by my English professor, but it's weird that you ask that because, while I usually avoid television, LOST happens to be the only T.V. series that I have followed in years. What is the connection?

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

Not sure if some one has posted this. The Third Police Man by Flan O'Brien. I'm sure many of you have read it, but I just came across it and it's still fresh in my mind. Please don't ridicule me.

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.

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

See, this is the stuff I need to know. What is the preferred version and what is the real difference? Need input...

I like this place...
Is the Principia Discordia really that hard to find in the deceased plant-matter incarnation? Like, for instance, I couldn't find one at a Waldenbooks or anything? Also, is there a place where I can print really long documents for free without going to a library?

Okay, so I recently discovered Discordianism and I am genuinely intrigued by all that it entails. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out what is required reading and what is simply suggested reading. I'm just about finished with the Illuminatus! Trilogy, but I came under the impression that these books are not regarded as significant sources of Discordian "doctrine." Also, reading on a computer really pisses me off and fucks up my back, so how much of the required reading comes printed on old fashioned paper? Thanks in advance. Unless you are a prick.
