(no subject)

read a few books going to, and coming from the beach this weekend ~ I think one was Art & Fear (won't do a review of that one out of laziness but will probably post a quote or two), and I forget the others. that said, this review's focused on "The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell, free to read on archive.org!

i was prepared to dislike this book thinking it was some kind of self help pop culture flavored book much like Save the Cat since I've vaguely heard Campbell's name being adjacent to storytelling building block-y quips like ~*the archetypical heroes's journey*~ but was VERY pleasantly surprised that the tone was way, way different and a hell of a lot more insightful. meaningful in the refreshing sense I get from genuine buddhist gurus.

( going off of my bullet point notes while reading through this:  )
