Parts of it reminded me of Sir Terry Pratchett's humour (the monks dutifully copying the religious text eventually referred to the original after years, only to discover the word was "celebrate") I loved the literary references to Joyce, R A Wilson, the pop-culture references, Greek mythology, Tao enlightenment, religious hierarchy, Newton, the Bible, and the pretentious ranting. A refreshing parody. Unfortunately my poorly printed version missed out some of the symbols illustrated in the text, but it was easy to decipher the misprinted symbols (bad case of the publisher's OCR). I loved the fact that this book sparked Shea & Wilson to publish the Illuminatus Trilogy. A real piece of hippie history. Fnord. The layout is very much like a scrapbook of ideas. I also love the fact a cult developed around the book, feeding conspiracies and philosophies. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_237257762" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_237257762"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_237257762" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_237257762" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_237257762"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/AChild" target="_top">AChild</a> | Mar 23, 2023 | <a href="/review/237257762"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_194157863" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/5879" data-workid="5879" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>spiritual logic games from stoners <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss6.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_194157863" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_194157863"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_194157863" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_194157863" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_194157863"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/aeceyton" target="_top">aeceyton</a> | Mar 4, 2023 | <a href="/review/194157863"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_230766757" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/5879" data-workid="5879" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1559500409.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Essential reading for any existentialist, atheist, antitheist, or true theist in my opinion.
