Robert Anton Wilson:
The Illuminatus Trilogy (with Robert Shea)
The Illuminatus Trilogy is the conspiracy book to end all conspiracy books, it transcends the limits of all "normal" literature. It twists and warps the reality of the reader, any reader, in strange and unpredictable ways. This book is a trip. Literally. No other book contains so many earth-shaking ideas presented so engagingly. This book is a great yardstick. It doesn't say anything but helps you flush out what you believe. It is total BS, but it's all true. I like the people who like this book, I don't like the people who don't. It's that complicated. It is the 20th century version of Jefferson's enligtenment, Plato's light outside the cave. It's for people who understand why the Simpson's is funny. The most important thing for readers of this book to do is find each other, remember we're less than 5% of the population. It doesn't matter if you read this book or not. It's not a way into our world, but a secret handshake for those already there. See you at the crash Worship shows, see you smirking on the bus, see you at the revolution.

Robert Anton Wilson: Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy/the Universe Next Door/the Trick Top Hat/the Homing Pigeons
If you enjoyed the Illuminatus! trilogy, you'll love this one. Set after the end of the events in Illuminatus (mostly) it contains many of the characters you've grown to know and love from that book (sometimes) and many new characters (maybe) plus some that were only hinted at in the Illuminatus! trilogy (perhaps). Oh, and it also deals with the Quantum Uncertainty Principle and (almost) parallel dimensions. Schrodinger's Cat is instruction by induction into contemporary Quantum Theory, as well as being a damned hillarious novel. Wilson somehow strings together a cast of constant characters in a web of infinite probablities and many worlds who remain, despite certain environmental and anatomical changes, familiar to the reader. Looking for that meta-theory that will explain everything? I found it in Schrodinger's cat. If you have the capacity, buy this book now. That's what credit cards are for. That, and so that the secret government can trace your every move. Learn _their_ secrets. Buy this book.
