I recall a particular series (trilogy?) of the 'sercret society' genre,
this was/is the Illuminatti (sp?) series. I only got through 1 and 1/2 of
the books since I started becoming parinoid! I believe the writers were
Anton Wilson and Robert Sheckly, though my mind is rather fogy on this since 
once I put the books down I never wanted to hear about them again. They were 
real good, so good I did not dare go anywhere without looking over my shoulders!
