Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Is it a base pit of cynicism or a sublime theology? Is it a religion disguised as a joke or a joke disguised as a religion? Read it for yourself. To diverse gods do mortals bow, Holy Cow and Wholly Chao. Dedicated to Emperor Norton - Live Like Him! Hail Eris! ( ) Ha Ha, so funny it made me laugh out loud. 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. Essential reading for any existentialist, atheist, antitheist, or true theist in my opinion. The Principia still has some gems of actual wisdom hidden among the apple jokes - but I could just be saying that. You'll never know unless you check for yourself (and perhaps not even then). Just read it. It's the only holy book which has a copy in the Library of Congress. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
One of the great books of our time, Principia Discordia is the official bible of the most relevant religion ever conceived, Discordianism. This legendary underground classic contains absolutely everything worth knowing about absolutely anything. Discordianism is the religion for these screwed-up times, and Principia Discordia reveals it here for your enlightenment, confusion and entertainment. --(Text refers to a previous edition) Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
