The Killing Joke - Rated
Possibly not fully recognised for his sense of humour in his day, this book is one of The Great Beast's best. It contains the beautifully constructed "ONION-PEELINGS", which I can honestly say makes me cry with laughter every time I read it, and even thinking about it causes me to guffaw uncontrollably. If you're a tight-wad and don't want to buy the book just yet, just do a google search on "Onion Peelings" to see what I mean - oh how we laughed outwardly, yet cried inwardly.

May he who crosses the Abyss of Egolessness be armed with this knowlegde. Light anf Love to All.

Before Paul Reps translation of Zen Koans, there was Crowley - Rated
This is a series of quirky, epigrammatic sayings/poems/stories. To really understand all the little puns and nuances requires an understanding of western qabbala and of Crowley's own highly idiosyncratic occult theories. To really enjoy the book, however, all one needs is that enignma, Common Sense, as rare as it is common.

In short it is a book that speaks to the intuitive side of our nature, while leaving puzzles galore to occupy our intellectual side.

Perhaps one of Crowley's best (if you assume Liber Al was dictated, not written).

I especially liked the talking dog called ben, my favourite part is when ben gets a ball, a big red ball.

A must for the true seeker - Rated
This book is a source of mystical and magical insight. It also contains a good laugh here and there. It is designed to be a change agent. It is meant to help the readers break out of their little reality boxes and to explore new paradigms. For the bold, knowing, or deluded it contains the key to mysteries. Hooray for Uncle Al!
