1.0 FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS:
Will there be another part of the Illuminati Chronicles ?
Perhaps. Tentative title The World Turned Upside Down, named after
a song from the period of the American Revolution. Wilson has had bad
luck with publishers with this series & doesn't seem in a rush to write
this book. (ewagn...@aol.com)
Does RAW read this newsgroup ?
Yes, at least sometimes. (ewagn...@aol.com)
What the hell is really going on about The Illuminatus! sequel
("Bride of Illuminatus!") ?
Wilson & Shea planned this book before Bob Shea's death. Wilson
published an excerpt in Trajectories. (ewagn...@aol.com)
Was The Principia Discordia written by RAW ?
No. The Principia Discordia was written by Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst
(Kerry Thornley) and Malaclypse the Younger (Greg Hill). However, RAW
did the introduction to the 4th edition of the Loompanics Principia.
This introduction can be found at:

What about the other Bob ?

3.1 RAW'S RECOMMENDED READING AND CORRESPONDING LINKS
In the article "Brain Books" RAW recommends some books he wishes
everyone would read: "the ten books I most feel the lack of in people
who otherwise seem intelligent. These books would fill anyone's cranium
with useful information."
RAW also gives specific reasons why he considers these books must-read
stuff. In case you'd like to look them up at Dejanews (or another news
archive), the article was typed in full-length by ewagn...@aol.com and
posted with the subject line "Brain Books, from Trajectories #16/17, pg
28-29, by RAW".

>what years Bob was editing and writing for Playboy
>so some might find his articels in that journal?
He was Associate Editor at Playboy in Chicago from 1966-71. His main job was
editing letters in the "Playboy Forum", and writing the replies (in italics).
If anybody finds some of his stuff from this period, could they post it here?
