True!  Damn _Illuminatus!_ trilogy led me off on a Robert Anton Wilson
binge (_Schrodinger's Cat_ trilogy, _Cosmic Trigger_ et al, _Historical
Illuminatus Chronicles_) and related areas and authors (_Principia
Discordia_, _The Book of the Subgenius_, etc. etc.)...

(My wallet was crying the blues.)

Cheers,

Paul.
