I'm reading Carl Jung's:
Dream Interpretation Ancient and Modern
It's very good. I already read it once a couple of years ago. It was recommended to me from an Oxford professor that I looked up to.
Thanks for this!

I am reading:

A Visit From The Goon Squad - Jennifer Egan
Man's Search for Meaning - Victor Frankl
Big Magic - Elizabeth Gilbert
Identity: the Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment - Francis Fukuyama
The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle

I think that's it. I probably won't finish some of the self-help ones. I will probably finish the Jennifer Egan book. I will probably finish the Victor Frankl book, too. I probably won't finish the Francis Fukuyama book, as it's super boring.

I've got a stack of books I want to work my way through. I'm reading the Bible from cover to cover (that's a lifelong reading right there).

I just finished Sammy's Hill. Then I'm going to read The Dim Sum of All Things again. I remember that being pretty funny the first time I read it. Then a book called Revolution Song. Finally I'm going to work my way through four books by Phillipa Gregory. Those look really fun.

Oh! Also, I'm going to start reading Move to the Place of Your Dreams: A Relocation Handbook. I'm thinking of changing states.

The power of now, this is a popular book loved by Oprah, but it’s also supposed to help with anxiety etc so I thought why not give it a go...

Trying to read a bunch of self help books and novels with no luck. Can't focus, can't even muster motivation to read once I open my Kindle app. But hey, I always BUY new books, so I have hundreds. Jeez.

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David Burns. It's a good book, and I figured it can't hurt to know more about what might contribute to my mood problems, even though I don't necessarily have such problems right now. I also just recently finished Ulysses by James Joyce and Identity by Francis Fukuyama and a couple other books in addition from my list.
Thanks for this!
