The only book I read of his was THE EYE IN THE PYRAMID that I bought at a used book store in 1989. What a great book ! ! ! He touched on a lot of topics. Strangely I never found another of his books after that, but maybe I'll take a look again sometime soon.

I've seen some books at Borders with his name on it, but they covered subjects that I've already looked into, so never bought them. Might take a closer look.

I read the Illuminatus! trilogy in one collected book the summer after high school. Fun conspiracy satire stuff that threw in eveything including the kitchen sink. Still get a minor kick from the whole "23" thing. I've tried to steer a few people who would get it toward it over the years. A girl I knew in college tried to read it and recommended it to me until I told I knew the book already. Should have married her......

I still have my Illuminatus book.  Great read.  Very smart of RAW to put the whole truth out there, disguised as fiction.  :bouncegiggle:
