Quick review: This is my second read of Swann's Way. It's beautiful, rambling and so beautiful. The descriptions of places and people, feelings... I love it.

Quick Review: Finished this book with my heart racing and my mind feeling as if the universe were expanding into infinity and my self was riding it, knowing exactly my part in the whole. I'll never see the world the same way again.

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.

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.
