20 Things Only Marilyn Manson Fans Will Understand

12. He Probably Reads More Than Most Of Us

Admit it, you've probably sat down and tried to read something by Friedrich Nietzche or Aleister Crowley just to get an idea of the kinds of authors that Manson enjoys and even get into his head a little bit. Then you probably put any of the books down because they're just far too much heavy reading. If you did get through any of the tomes, kudos. It's easy to tell that these authors are where Manson got a lot of his worldview from and thus what inspires some of his most famous lyrics. However, every time we try to explain to people that Manson reads more than Satanic scripture, no one seems to believe it. In the meantime, we'll wait for Manson to name-drop more authors that he's been into so we can add them to our own reading lists.
