Seeing as Movies is on the list, why not recommend some fantastic reads you have, fact or fictional..... So far I have on my list of good reads: He's just not that into you - certainly an eye opener for the girls anyway and some of the guys Nothing in this Book isw True, but it's Exactly how Things Are. Bob Frissell (thanks to bastardometer for the push in the right direction;)) Modern Man in Search of a Soul - Carl Gustav Jung The Undiscovered Self - Carl Gustav Jung On the Nature of Psyche - Carl Gustav Jung Holy Blood/Holy Grail The Messianic Legacy I'll think of some more later..... I'm off dancing now, laters my fabulous virtual friend.... ;D

Anything by Robert A. Johnson is a good read. They are relatively short, but good reads nonetheless. Some of the one's I particularly liked are:
Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche She: Understanding Feminine Psychology He: Understanding Masculine Psychology Inner Work: Using Dreams and Creative Imagination for Personal Growth and Integration

I also really really liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon and The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It will change the way you look at the world, seriously.
Also, the LOTR series by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Welcome and thanks for the thread (read some Carl Jung off the web - allways wanted to get some of his books - thanks for giving me some titles to start with ) Anytime! He's a great read! He's helped me close numerous issues I've had from the past, helped me move onto a better understanding of what happened to me and why. I'd like to get some books on Plato and Socrates, I have started a book called a Brief History of the Paradox - Roy Sorensen (Philosophy and the Labyrinths of the mind).... It's interesting....I'm craving knowledge..... need more input...

They compliment each other rather well.
