I don't see how that relates to my image but looks like a good book.

I feel bad how recognizable a lot of that is to me from my TES years; even the gibberish ones, I understand their constituent parts. Did this come out of ShittyTESLore? Anyway, though:

Morrowind was influenced by Dune, so I recommend Dune or the Dune series.

I dimly remember something about at least one rendering of the Republic of Hahd having been based on Borges' Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

Kirkbride ripped a lot from Robert Anton Wilson in general, so try Illuminatus! at least, especially for when MK writes in the tone of romp.

The first Q episode of Star Trek: TNG has a bit where he holds them on trial in a faux 22nd century setting or something similar, including the phrase "Guilty until proven innocent," and the whole thing gave me Kirkbride vibes, maybe Classic Cyrod.

I remember finding Jodorowsky through TES, though not how, and Jodo's The Holy Mountain was partly based on Rene Daumal's 'pataphysicist Mount Analogue.

You could read some Gnostic or Jung crap over the metaphysics.

Recommend satirists, especially Anglos, and recommend particular books too. So far I've noted (casting a wide net):
>Swift
>Burton
>Pope
>Sterne
>Rabelais
>Cervantes
>Shakespeare

Greco-Roman satirists also of interest, but I'm less familiar. I'm especially interested in parody of jurisprudence.
