What book has affected your life the most?

[Pix]

Oh yes, I enjoyed reading The Satanic Bible and also The Satanic Witch. I can't say it changed my life but there were many interesting concepts in it (perhaps if I hadn't already been made familiar with much of the philosophy from elsewhere then it might've impressed me more) and both were good reads. I don't agree with everything said (though I try to keep in mind that at the times the books were originally published they might've held more truth) but I still found it mentally stimulating.

I was in my 20s before reading those books, however. A friend tried getting me to read The Satanic Bible when I was 15 but I wouldn't as I figured it was literally about worshiping Satan (as opposed to the Self, though the selfishness in it tended to be the more enlightened kind and also encouraging indulgence but not addiction) and since I didn't believe in God or Satan I just wasn't interested. I now wish I had because plenty of people thought I was a Satanist as I was growing up and I wish I could go back and respond to those who called me a Satanist with, "You say that like it's a BAD thing."
