Every year, I post a list of books I read in the last year on my personal blog; I'm posting it here because it includes the Robert Anton Wilson books I read, and offers context by illustrating what other kinds of books I read (a varied lot, to be sure).
For the purposes of this blog, the key book was RAW's Coincidance, one of the few Wilson books I had never read before. I had so much to say after I read that book, I decided to start a quick blog on Blogger and record my thoughts. The project kind of took off.
I've put an asterisk next to four new books I particularly recommend. I discuss three of them here.
