I read The Invisible Man by HG Wells a short while ago.... loved it. The Man in question is such a twat but he's entertaining, and I like how he's, y'know, invisible 'n stuff..
Been reading the Tarot by Paul Foster Case. Just picking it up as I go through each archetype, highlighting lines that resonate with me, then putting it down to do the "non-written" work, so to speak.
Aaaaand.... I've been reading a history of the 13th Floor Elevators. It's called Eye Mind: The Saga of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. Definitely one of the more 'electrifying' tales in music/rock and roll for me. Roky was such a kick-ass performer and singer, just unreal. Stacy Sutherland's guitar playing is the s*** (excuse me). And Tommy Hall's whole "psychedelic evangelism" was, while extremely heavy-handed, super cool to me. In the sense that he was trying to get the LSD to "speak" through the music, and elevate the collective consciousness. Definitely a little misguided there, however, I suppose I like the "channeling" aspect of it.....
I think I'll pick up the Corpus Hermeticum again, it's been a couple of years. Plus I'm tired of reading on my kindle....
