Five Tons of Flax!
Robert Anton Wilson is dead.
When I read The Illuminatus! Trilogy two years back, I fell in love with it. It was frenetic, hilarious, disjointed, and like Grant Morrison on 78 RPM. It introduced me to Discordianism, the world's first postmodern religion. It was, in short, a pretty damn good book.
So long, Mr. Wilson. May you share drinks with Eris in whatever strange splinter reality you find yourself.
