Smokin' Dope
Eheh, To the illuminated reader with the comment on dope smoking. There's a little more to it than that, as you may well understand, had you the wealth of knowledge that the author of this book has spent his life attatining. "Dope" of various kinds have been historically reffered to with far less right-wing and insulting names throughout history, it is impossible at times to separate much of ...

Complete mind f***
There isn't much to say about this book that hasn't already been said. I will say, with regard to my own experience, that prior to this, I went through life in a fog. It took about the first 150 pages or so, and then something clicked and I couldn't put it down. Normally I'm a fast reader, but this took me a week and a half of evenings. As for the after effects, there was something about this ...

Dear Bob, please finish and release the fourth book before you croak, it's your best artwork...
Mr. Wilson, (not to be confused with that cantankerous abomination that lived next door to Dennis the menace), would do us a big flâva fave if he would 'git his ol' booty fininishin' and submittin' the fourth book he mentions as forthcoming at the end of this excellent book "Nature's God"! At the end of this book RAW says to look forward to the fourth book in the Historical Illuminatus Chronicles ...

Enjoyable, quick read!
I really enjoyed the start to this new series. I am an adult and I did not feel like I was reading a children's book. In fact I learned a lot of information, like what a ha-ha is (it's not a laugh by the way :) Pip, Tim and Sebastian are bright kids (even though technically Sebastian is not a kid). My only complaint is that is was too short for me. While for a children's book it might be ...

The start of Shea and Wilson's bizarre Illuminati saga, now more popularly sold as a trilogy of three books. Look for 23.

More craziness to be found in this part, for example :- "And they looked at the Vision more closely, and because they could see into the future and were all (like every intelligent entity) rabid Laurel and Hardy fans and because they zonked on the weed, they saw that Yahweh bore the face of Oliver Hardy. All around him, below the mountain on which he lived (his world was flat), the waters rose ...

Two masters meet to combine extraordinary talents.
ILLUMINATUS is an unprecedented publishing feat. "To make art is to draw even with the aspirations of divinity. To make art well is to call spirit into being. Magicians, like Venosa, know this." - Terence McKenna. Have you ever taken a journey to a "separate reality" via ayahuasca or magic mushrooms or some such sacrament and wish you could bring back a snapshot or reconstruct an image from ...

Earth Still Shaking
I read this book back in the late 80's when it was printed by a mass-market publisher (Signet, I think) containing two abridged volumes; The Earth Will Shake and The Widow's Son. I loved it then and was never able to find Nature's God. Now I have all 3 books. After re-reading this edition, I've enjoyed it twice as much!! There is still yet an unpublished forth book, "The World Turned Upside ...

Amazing
I loved this book for it's originality. No other book has ever captured my attention and devotion to it's ever word like Illuminatus, it leaves you with a feeling of doubt put into everything around you. The conspiracy plots make you a believer of the possible strange and unthinkable plots such as the death of John F. Kennedy. I loved it, and you might too.

Ramon Llull

Princeton Univ Pr, 1994

Hard to Get your Arms Around
For all practical purposes, this book is the primary introduction to Ramon Llull available in English. Llull is a difficult figure to come to terms with, for various reasons, and I must admit that I left this book feeling a bit more confused than I was when I started. There are two components of this book: Llull's writings themselves (not by any means all of them, which would require much more ...

Little, Brown & Co., 2004

Dangerous Magic-Ancient Enemies "A homunculus is more than just an artificial creature," Sebastian told Tim and Pip. "It is a living human, yet one that has no soul." He fell silent. "What you're saying," Pip said, after a pause, "is that this thing, if it has no soul, has no mind of it's own." "Exactly so!" Sebastian came back. "This creature must be commanded by its maker." "I don't see the problem," Tim declared. "It might be unnatural, ...

Tedious, Disconnected
I don't know why I finished reading The Eye in the Pyramid. It was a tedious flow of disconnects. Sure, it's a story about conspiracies dating back to Atlantis, but there was virtually nothing about the book to recommend, and saying so doesn't make me one of "Them."

The Leviathan in question here is the biblical really big sea monster variety. If this ran into your submarine, things would be bad. More Wilson craziness.
