> Moonchild, Diary of a Drug Fiend
I think the best Crowley to start with is not his fiction (the Drug is in my to-read pile), not Magick Without Tears, not The Book of Lies, and not Magick in Theory and Practice (etc), but The Confessions of Aleister Crowley. You'll get a sense of the man as well as his prose style and his (world view/) ideas about magic.
