Title: One of the greatest bad novels of all time
Product review: Bad writing, unbelievable characters, disjointed and disorganized plots that somehow come together to form a wonderful story. The three volumes that comprise the Illuminatus Trilogy are like taking a no spending limit trip through the parinoid's candy store!I read the Illuminatus when I was in my 20's and it frightened me because I thought might all be true. I reread in my 30's and was depressed because I realized that it wasn't. I've just read it again at 50 and now know that even though every word is fiction, every word is also true.Our lives are subject to the whims of people for whom we are no more real or important than unbelievable characters in a bad novel -- but it's OK as long as we remember how to have a good time while we're on their ride.The Illuminatus Trilogy is a must read that belongs on everyone's desert island list.
