Why read it?
1 author picked Do What Thou Wilt as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The most serious and culturally informed of the modern biographies, but still enthusiastic and enjoyable. Sutin is particularly good on Crowleyâs religious and political aspects, and it reads unmistakably like a book by what a friend of mine would call âa real grown-up,â which isnât always the case with books on occult subjects. Sutin makes a strong case for Crowleyâs importance and larger significance, and the bookâs wider perspective can be gauged by the spread of his solid, quality books on other subjects, including Buddhism and Philip K Dick.
From Phil's list on the beast.
