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.

Drunken Monkey Cabal

area 7 or scarecrow by matthew reilly. uber good. really "fast paced"

Cosmonaut X

I just finished Light in August, and I was already a huge Faulkner fan, but it was fantastic.
- Cosmonaut X
Doyen for the Society of Eremitical Erisians

"Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb."
- Allen Ginsberg

Scribbly

I just finished Cache 22

It was pretty darn good... at a loss as to what to follow it up with, really, I'm thinking something like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 'cause I haven't read that and its supposed to be pretty good.
I had an existential crisis and all I got was this stupid gender.

Baron Von Stevenstein

Shibboleet The Annihilator

I'm reading Nicolo Machiavelli's The Prince.


Not sure if it's good yet, I'm only on chapter 4.

Cain

It gets better.  Get his Discourses too, thats about republics.

Shibboleet The Annihilator

In the beginning he said he wasn't going to cover republics, isn't that another book?

Cain

Yeah.  Seperate, but very interesting.  He comes across as cynical as fuck in The Prince, with good reason.  You have to be ruthless to be a dictator, but republics have a whole seperate bunch of rules.  Its most commonly known as Discourses, but thats not the full name.
