Almost done with the Fourth Way book and was wondering what would be a good follow up that. Thinking I should get a book from Gurdjieff, which one?

Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn In Search of the Miraculous is a good one. Even though it is written by Ouspensky, it follows his many meetings with Gurdjieff and subsequent teachings that G imparts. It has much of the same teachings as The Fourth Way but is written in a different manner, almost autobiographical. It is a good way to reinforce what you have already read in The Fourth Way but perhaps not as intense reading.
Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson is meant to be a classic by G.I.Gurdjieff. I haven't yet read it myself but plan to one day. It is well over 1000 pages long. It is the first in a trilogy from Gurdjieff.

You're welcome Alba!
Master Satanis' works set me on the path of The Fourth Way initially with his generous distribution of the pdf's Cthulhu Cult and Liber A:O.( I will be buying The Emerald Bible once it is out so I'll have all three volumes in the one book).
After that I bought The Fourth Way and found In Search of the Miraculous at my local library around the same time. So I read both simultaneously which was really cool, because you get the story behind it as well as the compressed knowledge in The Fourth Way.
I'm back on my second reading of The Fourth Way along with a simultaneous reading of Creating a Soul by Girard Haven which is a more modern narrative of different aspects of the Fourth Way teachings. Really good stuff also, reads in a different manner but is a very consciously written piece of work.
I'm sure you'll enjoy In Search of the Miraculous.

K'ara Kaiul Esoteric Wizard of the Terrible Darkness Cult of Cthulhu Thanks Wizard K'ara again! Can't wait to start reading In search of the Miraculous. I plan on rereading the Fourth Way book again too. I'm curious how the two are different. Awake! Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn
