Summary: Disciples of St Mojo may never *walk* across a dance floor.
Review: Anyone who thinks the Principia is a parody has plainlymissed the point. This book contains Truth, and the Truthshall make you laugh. By the way, as the Principia was originally published in the public domain, interested parties should take a look at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tilt/principia/. Sadly, the HTML version does not include Malaclypse's butt-kicking rubber stamp collection, so buy the book anyway. Every man, woman, and child on this earth is a genuine and authorised Pope. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Summary: Notes on this edition, my favorite
Review: The original Principia Discordia was very much mish mash of near random pages thrown together, and the pages themselves were changed and modified. I've always felt that it should be a continually evolving book, and with this edition including newly created pages, it hits closest to the spirit of discordianism (at least in my opinion). The other editions I've seen present it almost as a relic of the past, as something to be looked at, and fondly reminisced over. The purple edition did a great interview with one of the creators (and 3 of his personalities if I remember correctly), which is nice, but too stale for me. I'm sorry to see it out of print. In summary: This edition of the Principia is particularly good because it features added material, all in the style and theme of the original. Side note: If you want better reviews of this book, look for the reviews of for the purple and yellow editions (by Omar K. Ravenhurst, and Malaclypse et al, respectively). All editions feature the same original content.

Summary: Discordian Catma
Review: The Principia Discordia is held to be the greatest book ever written by everyone who's right. (i.e., everyone who agrees with me.)Where else can you find step-by-step instructions for the Turkey Curse?Or the game of Sink? The Principia Discordia is the only book to contain the fifth edition within the fourth edition. Hail Eris!
