Introduction to Jungian Psychology, by C.G. Jung

Subtitle: Notes of the Seminar on Analytical Psychology Given in 1925. Mainly contains two parts: 1. Jung's own early spiritualistic experiences, which should have a big overlapping with his autobiography. 2. Introduction to his work about Psychology types. The appendix has the anima and animus discussion based on 3 novels, which I skipped (3/8/2014: read them today).  So it is not appropriate to call this book "Introduction to Jungian Psychology", even though it did tough some main concepts of Jungian psychology.

As expected, I do not fully understand it, but think it quite interesting.

文学回忆录(下),木心

若是为了学习文学史的知识,那么从这本书中可能会所获有限。但是看看木心这个人的文学观念还是挺有意识的。
觉得木心的心态不是很光明、豁达(不是从道德的角度,而是一个人看世界的态度),风格偏奇巧,甚至有些尖刻。 这样的人在生活中不会很快乐的。但是想想他的遭遇,能这样,不错了。
