| A masterful study in intimacy and anomie. The stories are distinguished by their subtle details. This book is a new favorite, one I plan to reread and annotate to understand it more deeply. | |

“It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”

“It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes.”

It does a deep dive into all the important archetypes that parallel each other in the myths of various world traditions. Unfortunately, I'd have to be writing a thesis on it to go back and pick out pages. I do think you should read it, because you'll get a lot more out of it than just the one hero's journey structure.
The Hero With a Thousand Faces This book has had a huge impact on writing craft. Virtually everyone knows about "the hero's journey" pattern for developing your plot and some "archetypal" characters who aid or oppose the hero figure. However, I -- like a lot people? -- haven't read this book. And I don't feel the need to. Am I missing out? Are there essential pages in this book that aren't encapsulated in the hero's-journey idea?

I was going through and deleting the ton of book recommendations when I saw your message "Rebecca Renner wanted to read: Please DO NOT use the recommend feature to recommend books to me. I have gotten so many messages about this, that if you do this, I will unfriend you. Thank you for understanding." next to a big button telling me to reccommend you a book. After a stressful morning, I couldn't help but laugh at the irony and figured I would share it with you, since you were the source. Best wishes and take care.
Thank you for adding me, Rebecca! Happy to meet and connect with you.~Roze
It was tough to read about how much you have gone through in your life. I am happy that you've stayed focused on your goals.
Hi Rebecca! Happy to be connecting :)Best Wishes
