Book of Lies

Summary: Before Paul Reps translation of Zen Koans, there was Crowley
Review: 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).
