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.

If you have any time for fiction reading, I suggest Harry Turtledove's alternate history series "The War That Came Early" (first book is called "Hitler's War").

I'm on book 4 and I give it a 9/10 for holy fuck.

Strangely enough, I've been considering reading some of Turtledove.  From what I hear, he is pretty much the standard by which alternate history authors are rated.

I probably wont have time until the summer, but I'll definitely see if I can get it on the Kindle before I go on holiday.

He is indeed.  He's the grand old man of the genre.

He did another series that was similar (but the divide happened during the American civil war), but it was almost entirely placed in North America.  This one is European, and although the characterization isn't quite as good, the "what if" bits are pretty fucking awesome.

His civil war series was the one I originally considered reading.  At that time, I'd just finished The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and so was, understandably, a bit burned out on WWII.  But that was a few years ago now.
