Before there was Campbell, there was Frazer. Before there was Frazer, probably the Grimms. Before the Grimms, I'm not sure. This book should be on every author's reference shelf, it must be on every cultural anthropologist's shelf, and is not somethin ...more |

Robinson Crusoe is one of those books most people of my generation say they read and don't remember exactly when. Was it high school? College? Ask them if they enjoyed it and they mumble something. Like my generational peers, I think I read it and dec ...more |

Yeah. Well. Another Tchaikovsky book which left me less than meh. He sells well, no questions there, hence there must be an audience for such, and I'm not in it. Lucky me, huh? I am keeping this book on my shelf and may cycle back to it at some point. ...more |

This volume (I've praised the Lascaux series before) taught me so much about the craft of writing I'm ashamed of calling myself an author. Each story's a gem (okay, there were 2-3 which I wouldn't have included) and the poems are breathtaking (yeah, I ...more |
