Thanks Mona :-)

I really do believe that some books can be dangerous, depending on the particular person. Just don't take it too seriously, at the end of the day it's just another book. And a kind of dirty one at that.

Best way I can describe is via comparison: Back in the day audiences would absolutely got overwhelmed by the 1933 version of King Kong, but today it just seems goofy. Saying it all depends on your frame of reference and your state of mind, same goes for the Illuminatus trilogy. Aspects of it are like a rorschach test, I would argue.

Btw. Robert Anton Wilson used to write for the old Playboy Magazine, so take everything with a grain of salt ;-)
