Discordian works include the Principia Discordia, first published in 1965 (which includes portions of The Honest Book of Truth); and The Illuminatus! Trilogy, which had its first volume published in 1975.

The Summa Universalia was another work by Malaclypse the Younger, purported to be a summary of the Universe. It was excerpted in the first edition of the Principia but never published. It was mentioned in an introduction to one of the Principia editions, and its name is mentioned in the first edition.[1][2]

As well as the Summa Universalia, the Principia Discordia also included selections from Kerry Thornley's writings, which he named The Honest Book of Truth. These sections are clearly marked, and are subtitled in parody of the bible's books.

The following are the known "books" within The Honest Book of Truth:

  • The Book of Explanations
  • The Book of Predictions
  • The Book of Advice
  • The Book of Gooks
  • The Gospel According to Fred
  • The Epistle to the Paranoids
  • The Book of Uterus
  • The Indoctrine of the Pineal Gland

Selections from this work can also be found within The Illuminatus! Trilogy,[3].
