I can't believe I didn't add this first one:

Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces (an oversight that shall be rectified with actually buying the book)

Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyer's The Power of Myth.

Thanks again Silver. Smile

I read that--it has a great premise but I didn't get into it as I hoped....tell what you think when you are done with Eyre Affair, I'm curious...

I have The Stolen Child sitting in front of, as I type...maybe I will start it tomorrow during my class silent reading period.

*Takes note to get it someday*

I reeally want The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island. Art on the inside is consistently as good as the cover.

i want that too! I liked the mockumentary they had on the special edition dvd...it was actually more interesting than the movie...

i don't know why either
i had to read some of it for school and hated it
but then, i hated almost everything i *had* to read...so its probably just me...

It was suggested that I read the Saiyuki mangas by Kazuya Minekura. Based on Journey to the West -- a very interesting story in itself. Smile
