Reddit mentions of The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley

93 - It matters what you want to learn. If you want to learn about Thelema itself, I recommend very specific things:

1. The Book of the Law
   
2. Duty
   
3. Liber II: The Message of the Master Therion
   
4. Liber CL: De Lege Libellum
   
5. Liber Tzaddi... Also, The Revival of Magick Has a lot of great essays in it (including 'Duty' above).
   
   Further, I recommend my own writings since I think they're worthwhile, otherwise I wouldn't have put them out there. I especially recommend the series 'The Philosophy of Thelema' and 'New Aeon Initiation.'
   
   If you come from the angle of the Tarot, The Book of Thoth is invaluable although dense and complex. If you come from the angle of ceremonial magick, Liber ABA/Book 4 is invaluable although dense and complex. Kaczynski's Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley is actually also not a bad place to start. To get moer into the detail of Thelema and its ramifications, there is no better book (other than The Book of the Law and its commentarise) than Liber Aleph, which can be seen as an extended commentary on Liber AL.
   
   If those recommendations don't last you for a while, then you aren't reading them closely. :)
