waste search on Aegypt

"Altho Crowley shares little in the way of style or sensibility with
Pynchon (on the surface, anyhow), they're both genius wordsmiths
intent on building elaborate recursive prose structures revolving
around power, the Sixties, mysticism, etc"

If Little, Big is Crowley's GR, then maybe Aegypt is his Vineland?  and that's why I like it so much?
anyway, vol 2 and 3 really are quite good and I've found them worth reading and rereading, but Aegypt I would get tattooed on myself if there was room after Vineland...I would shred it and smoke it...I would wallpaper a room with its leaves
