The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious
| Author | C.G. Jung |
| ISBN | 0691097615 |
Except his book on flying saucers, read in childhood, this was the first book I ever read by C.G. Jung. The experience led to a programme of study which occupied the next eight years, leading me to change college majors (history to religious studies) and to proceed to seminary upon graduation.

| ISBN | 0253203635 |
This book was written several generations ago. When I first read it (more than 40 years ago?) it was a bit dated already, but a basic coming of age plus love interest story, with a lot of tidbits about nature thrown in. Rereading it now, I found myself noticing the cultural differences between now and when...

Laing explains...
Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book
| Author | Walker Percy |
| ISBN | 0312253990 |
I have read and reread this book half a dozen times. No doubt that number will reach a dozen or more during the course of my lifetime. It is, first of all, absolutely hilarious: a subtler, non-narrative, written precursor to "I Heart Huckabees." Who are we? Why are we here? What is the problem of the Self...
| Author | William Barrett |
| ISBN | 0385031386 |
Widely recognized as the finest definition of existentialist philosophy ever written, this book introduced existentialism to America in 1958. Barrett speaks eloquently and directly to concerns of the 1990s: a period when the irrational and the absurd are no better integrated than before and when...

I learned the important facts that if I am not a crack whore and I have actually seen a doctor throughout a pregnancy then I do not need to have my newborn vaccinated for Hepatitis B or A. If he or she wants to be shady in college then the vaccination will not cover the college years anyways, and s/he will have...

This review is for Peter.
This is both a review and a very short guide for those interested in jumping off the Latin cliff without a teacher. This is my first review on Goodreads, so please be gentle.
First off, Wheelock is THE text for learning Latin. I have never come across a text that...
