I don't find either of those books particularly confusing. Wonderful, 
brilliant, and exquisite, yes; but they're not New Sun-like. I suspect a 
discussion of it for me would devolve into quoting favorite lines and 
swooning.

However, Crowley's long and complex four novel series Aegypt (The 
Solitudes, Love & Sleep, Daemonomania, Endless Things) is something that I 
would love to hash over with interested parties. As many of its 
characters and situations are drawn from history (John Dee, Giordano 
Bruno, and so forth), I would just like some particularly erudite person 
to lecture at me about the source material -- I suspect I would learn a 
lot that way.
