Reply to comment by sisharil in What writer has read as many books as Jung? by Fragrant_Penalty_

The variety of what I read is limited to what I get contracted to ghostwrite. Payout is based on supply and demand. There might be a high-demand for essays referencing Neitzche, but the supply of writers is way high, so the resulting price is meager compared to what I’d get for writing on Jung who is high-demand, but low supply.

It occurred to me I only read Jung for the financial incentive, and that’s what prompted to ask what other authors share this feature of his I enjoy.

I mean it sincerely, thank you for sharing these authors. My work circumstance has limited my reading variety, so I’m looking forward to researching these people 😌

I see. My apologies for being rather dismissive, I didn't know where you were coming from on this. I will mention that those authors are all in the field of history and anthropology and archaeology, so they address somewhat specific knowledge bases.

I do encourage you to read at least the Dawn of Everything, which is written for a general audience. Or any of the rest that you found interesting!
