Quick review: This is one of those most chilling books I've ever read. This is my third read of it, and I fall in love with it every single time. It's gorgeously painful.
The Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams by William McGuire, C.G. Jung, R.F.C. Hull

slow-paced
5.0
Quick review: I didn't realize how spectacular both sections of this book would be when I bought it. I've heard Jung was difficult to read but found it engaging. The Undiscovered Self seems like it should be required reading for all civilized human beings. And Symbols and The Interpretation of Dreams led me down paths I hadn't even known were there.
