Anarchist, Zen Buddhist, Playboy editor and novelist Robert Shea is best known for the Illuminatus! Trilogy , a cult classic co-authored with Robert Anton Wilson that has never gone out of print. He also had a successful career writing action-filled but philosophical historical novels such as Shike and All Things Are Lights . Shea was still developing his career as a novelist and was just sixty-one when illness cut his writing career short, ruling out a planned sequel to Illuminatus! and also preventing the publication of other novels that were in the works. An outwardly conventional middle class man who was kind to his fans, Shea was also a radical who published anarchist fanzines, kept an authentic Samurai sword in his home, and interacted with Wobblies and counterculture oddballs. Now, three decades after his death, Every Day is a GOOD Day: Robert Shea on Illuminatus!, Writing and Anarchism collects many of his short pieces, giving readers a glimpse of the man behind Illuminatus! and Shike .

Entertaining, thought provoking and richly varied, Every Day is a GOOD Day is a perfect introduction to the anarchistic principles and humane thinking of Robert Shea - a man more interested in finding flaws in his own beliefs than he is in forcing those beliefs on others. - John Higgs , author of Love and Let Die and other books
Every Day Is a GOOD Day is here to preserve the memory of this good-hearted, open-minded man - and to let more people enjoy his humane and freedom-loving writings. - Jesse Walker , author of The United States of Paranoia and Reason magazine books editor
Shea's intelligence and sense of humor, shine throughout this terrific book. Robert Shea truly seems "the very model of modern armchair anarchist." - Eric Wagner , author of An Insider's Guide to Robert Anton Wilson and Straigh t Outta Dublin
