In response to the question, "What are some books you hold dear to your heart? life changing or inspirational," the right wing podcaster Martyr Made posts the following list on X:
-Chantal Delsol’s Icarus Fallen
-Mircea Eliade’s Sacred and Profane
-Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Cosmicomics, and If On A Winter’s Night A Traveler
-John Gardner’s Grendel
-Philip Roth’s American Pastoral
-The Book of Job
-Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground
-Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle
-RAW’s Illuminatus Trilogy
-Jean Gebser’s Ever Present Origin
-All of Rene Girard’s stuff
There is some brief discussion about RAW and Stephenson in the replies. I haven't listened to this guy's podcasts (his real name is Darryl Cooper). His book list interests me because, aside from Illuminatus!, I am a big fan of Neal Stephenson and I also liked Italo Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveler. Possibly I should read the other two Calvino titles.

I wish they would have called it "Shea and Wilson's Illuminatus!".
