Just ordered like-new hardcover copies of Joseph Campbell's A Hero with a Thousand Faces and The Power of Myth for pennies on Amazon. The incredible buyer's market of used books online never ceases to amaze me.





It's a crime that I've gone this long without reading those two books. After reading these I plan to order The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan.



And starting today I'm diving into the original Cosmos series which for some insane reason I've never sat down and digested.

No time like the present!

A tempting offer and a very fair price! Thanks for thinking of me but I've got some multi-hundred dollar book purchases in the works and I'm trying to reel in my recreational spending. I did just buy an Easton Press goldleaf leatherbound autographed edition of Ready Player One as a future surprise gift for my wife! Shhhhh!

My mother, who reads all of your posts aloud and is the actual troll in the family, was very offended by this.
