I have a few more books ahead in the queue but I also have Gene Wolfe's The Wizard Knight at home. Gonna read that one soon.

The Wizard Knight is great. Not BOTNS level great, but great for a couple of fantasy books (The Knight is Book 1; The Wizard is Book 2). That was actually the first Gene Wolfe book I read, this beginning the obsession. As for me, I finished “The Testaments,” and it’s better than “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Tried to read “Ulysses” but decided to go with something easier. Namely a Michael Chabon book called “Summerland” |

I've since finished both Hardcore Diaries and Briefing, so I'm down to just IT again, unless I start something new.

haha nah not 40 yet, don't rush it! I do a fair bit of lurking here and there, but never enough to keep up with what's going on. Can't get enough of Jung right now. |

Speaking of Jung, I loved MAN & HIS SYMBOLS https://rxttbooks.blogspot.com/2014/...t-caliber.html

I am currently reading Bukowski's favorite author, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, and his novel Journey to the End of the Night.

Celine is pretty funny! Antisemitic, though. I'm reading Irvine Welsh "If You Liked School, You'll Love Work", which is also pretty funny, though misogynistic. |

I haven't gotten around to that one yet, Rob, though it's the only book of Jung's my local library has...Maybe reading your writing on it will inspire me to snag it. Looks like an easier read. |

I have yet to get to any anti-semitic stuff, but he is hilariouos and extremely honest when it comes to the machinations of war and the asshole barely-human trash that warfare promotes into leadership positions.

I have tried to read Jung's analytical work for years, and it was always a bit of a slog. Man & His Symbols, however, was written by Jung for the lay-person, if the lay person was an educated human! Give it a shot. Very cool stuff.
