Okie-dokie here we go, since last week I finished reading A Primer of Jungian Psychology by Calvin S. Hall- very interesting, you get the feel that these guys (Jung and Freud the two I've read about) were just shooting in the dark but they happen to hit upon some very useful ideas. I also read Othello by Mr. Shakespeare himself and all I can say is Iago's a dick and Othello was a fool. Okay that's not all I can say, when I was younger my parents went through a rough patch in which my dad was as jealous as Othello, so much of his ranting sounded somewhat familiar. Thankfully my mom and dad got counseling instead of turning into a murder suicide (I meant that to sound funny but it comes a cross a bit macabre). What am I reading now? The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi) by Hermann Hesse- it's a bit of a thick book and being Hesse there's sure to be layers of meaning so this one will probably take me a few weeks. I'm never sure if I want to read intros or just make my own judgments about books and so sometimes I read them and sometimes I don't (kinda like a certain coconut and chocolate candy). This time I read the intro and one thing it said was that this book contained a good bit of humor that was often overlooked and so I will try to keep that in mind as I read. What's next? Probably something light and easy, will see though.
