_Ishtar Rising_?  Interesting.  What are your thoughts on this one?  I've
been going through the Illuminatus! trilogy again for the first time in
quite some time.  I was both impressed by his style and amazed at how
dated the books are getting.  Robert Anton Wilson's more recent
conspiracy-based stuff and his musings on the OPERATION MINDFUCK project
that he's been playing with for decades is a little more interesting and
timely.  Wilson has slowly been turning in my mind from a fascinating old
hippie-freak into an over-blown counter-culture social-scientist fanboy.
