The Happy Squirrel
Hello all! I feel that I need to understand the man to understand his work. But I need a biography of the man from a neutral bystander and not from a follower, devotee, convert, and other 'inside' point of view.
Someone recommended "The Confessions of Aleister Crowley: an Autohagiography" . That last word isn't a misspell. I think it meant a story about the self that is bigger than reality or something like that.
There is another book I almost put on my list but then I found that it was written by and for those already 'converted' if that make sense. Pardon my use of the word, because I am not sure how else to describe it.
I have been roaming around Amazon and reading various comments about various books on the topic before I post this. There doesn't seem to be a lot out there. Not that I need plenty really. Just a short list to consider rather than go directly to the first one recommended to me.
At the moment, the Confessions seems to be the one I might go for.
Before I order it I thought I check with you guys if there are others I should consider
Thanks in advance!
