I'm amazed ... what kind of person would solicit your advice when seeking a mystical experience? And, if such and improbable thing occurred, why would you recommend number theory as a source for a non-genuine (or quasi?) mystical experience?

The target audience for the books discussed in the this article consists of people who are looking for a mystical experience, but who are astute enough to appreciate that genuine mysticism is nonsense. When someone solicits my advice on such reading material, , I suggest number theory for mathematics, or relativity for physics. Unlike quantized superduperstrings in 69 dimensions, these subjects have hope of actually being understood.
