The past year or so I've been on a quest to break open my head and I've been reading lots of different books. My new favorite author is Robert Anton Wilson. I only have a vague idea of what Discordianism is, other than what I've read in Illuminatus! and parts of Cosmic Trigger. I was hoping that some of my fellow popes could provide me with some recommendations on books I should read to better understand Discordianism. I have yet to read Principia Discordia, though I've ordered it and plan to read it as soon as it arrives.
"The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon" by Tom Spanbauer.

Perhaps this is a bit clichéd, but read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson.
- Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter
- Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (i have decided that i like this book a lot better than Black Swan, actually, but YMMV, otherwise, read Black Swan by the same author ;-) )
