Yes, it is unfair of you. Also Freud != Jung. I suggest you try the first section of psychology and alchemy. Jung documents the analysis of a subject via dreams. It's about as easy to read as Jung gets.

Have you read Jung? I've read many academic texts, and nothing compares to the incredible range and obscurity of the ancient texts he references, and in so many langauges. God knows how he found these books or was able to read them all. Even in the age of the internet I often can't find references. You also seem to have a snidey conceited tone toward Jung and his work.

I read Symbols of Transformation, and others. I Found his knowledge of obscure ancient texts dizzying. It is beyond me how he could read and retain so many ancient works. So I agree with you, and I don't know how he did it.

Read an interview about people who were caught up in the siege in Sarajevo. They said the little things like having a book to read made all the difference. Hence my stash.

Ebooks all the way for me. I love tech, and I love books, so perfect combo. And they take up less space. I keep a stash of top paper books in case civilization ends.

A character in The Postman is black. He's a bit of hero.

It's like a bridge demonstrates gravity.
