Yeah...tell me about it;-) I don't know if any of you are involved but I do occasionally go to those bookcrossing events (see bookcrossing.com for the idea), usually to pick up birds and/or the odd pair of socks and mischievously I decided to float Illuminatus on two occasions. Well it came back pretty quick and didn't join the well-documented floaters which have made it to Botswana or wherever. What's more, several readers subsequently had symptoms of advanced derangement including myself (as fellow KLF listees will confirm). But it's not all bad as most readers experienced stronger orgasms and were inspired to unusual sexual practices. Result!

The first time through Illuminatus!, to me, was like watching a subtitled movie: I find myself reading the movie, and missing out on subtle visual elements-- with Illuminatus, I spent so much mental energy just trying to keep the whole thing sorted out that I missed a lot of the book..com 'Contained in a transcendental idealism, X$X is only readable through its representing other which hence becomes its symbol.'
