Mitch Horowitz
Mitch Horowitz has posted a new article, "An Incomplete List of Must-Read Modern Esoterica."
He lists 14 books, including The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age by Frances A. Yates, a book often cited by Robert Anton Wilson.
None of Wilson's own books are cited, but I think we have to cut Horowitz some slack. He jokes on Twitter that the list "Comes with a coupon: 'What!! You didn't list____________?? Are you CRAZY?' "
Moreover, he's the guy publishing the new Robert Anton Wilson biography that's in the works.

Judging from the half of this list I've read it looks pretty good. Since it's incomplete I'd add "The Theosophical Enlightenment," by Joscelyn Godwin; suggest that you read all of Frances Yates' major books not just Horowitz' recommendations, plus "The Rosicrucian Enlightenment Revisited"; endorse Thaddeus Golas' "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment;" and pay attention to "Wanting Enlightenment is a Big Mistake, Teachings of Zen Master Seung San" and "The Mystique of Enlightenment," by U G Krishnamurti.
