The book of lies

The Book of Lies is more readable than The Book of the Law but be aware that Crowley puts some verse in there and it's not great. There's also a point where the narrator (Crowley) writes about Frater Perdabo (also Crowley) getting upset with his imp (also also Crowley.) I think it's meant to be charming, but it comes across as tedious to me for a person to write about themselves in the third person talking to themselves in the third person.

"Nature is wasteful; but how well She can afford it!
Nature is false; but I'm a bit of a liar myself.
Nature is useless; but then how beautiful she is!
Nature is cruel; but I too am a Sadist.
The game goes on; it y have been too rough for
Buddha, but it's (if anything) too dull for me."


"It is Pure Chance that rules the Universe; therefore,
and only therefore, life is good."
