I read Steppenwolf again last year.
Last month I finished reading selected chapters from A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari.
Started The Tarot Architect by Lon Milo Duquette. It's a workbook so I pause at times to catch up with the exercises.
Started and am still reading The Vision and the Voice by Crowley.
That’s funny Oz, I just came by an old Sangreal edition of V & V and I’ve been reading an Aethyer a day.
I read The Stone Door, by Leonora Carrington, VERY strange book, dreamlike landscapes of near-FW proportions, disorienting to the utmost.
Jumbled Up, the companion book to uber-cool tambourine player Joel Gion (of the Brian Jonestown Massacre) first volume In the Jingle Jangle Jungle. Terrific, hilarious (and ridiculously well-written for a first literary effort) rock memoir by someone with a love of the 60s, a strong sense of style, a habit of partying that borders on the obsessive compulsive, and a self deprecating angle. The BJM is for me what I suppose the Grateful Dead is for the older generation, a band that literally influenced and changed my life in very real ways including where I live and the people I have around me.

And I am still reading The Secret Life of Plants, this weirdass 70s book about plants and the paranormal that RAW references many times in The Starseed Signals.
