Marie-Louise Von Franz's Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairy Tales

It's been quite a while since I've been challenged by anything I've read. Sure, I tried to read Penrose's Cycles of Time and I didn't understand a whit of it. So that was outside my understanding but this is within it. I can just barely, if I read slowly enough and take time after each paragraph to think, comprehend the things written in this book. I am no Jungian expert myself, so ideas of Ego/Self/Shadow are a little convoluted in my head. Thank you internet gods, for Wikipedia.

Pleadian Agenda by Barbara Hand Clow

Woah. What a fun way to challenge, basically ANY belief system. Meditate with your third eye in the galactic center, have orgasmic sex, and be prepared for the 2012 winter solstice 'cause baby, the inter-dimentsional beings are coming.

Program or Be Programmed by Rushoff

'
Rushoff made some great points about identity on the internet- but he failed just short of stating anything other than the obvious.

Seed by Rob Ziegler

Seed. Seed. How do I talk about this book? This book is revolutionary, I think. This book is ... disorganized. While Seed wasn't written in a way that could be easily understood, it did have some ideas and settings that stayed with me, even a few weeks after I angrily, frustratedly gave up on it. Set in the ruins of Denver, in a desert world with biologically manipulated humans, it had a lot going for it, unfortunately, the writing barely gave that information to us.
I don't know what to rate this book.

3? 3.5?

Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami

I think this is one of my favorite of Murakami's stories. I would compare it to 1Q84. He rules.
