<-As Carl believed in this

"In total, it consists of approximately 8,000 pages of notes
In April 2010, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announced plans to publish further excerpts from the Exegesis in two volumes. The first, 1056 pages long, would be released in 2011, and the second (a volume of the same length) in 2012. Editor Jonathan Lethem described the upcoming publications as 'absolutely stultifying, brilliant, repetitive, and contradictory. It just might contain the secret of the universe.' "

I'll bet Gnostics love this stuff as much as the Red Book.

d&e told me Transformers 3 was a good film.

I felt I was "Gnostic" for a couple of years. ...Also interested in getting The Red Book someday... Why? What else do you think I should be getting out of it?

I'm sorry, but that title has already been taken.

I just finished The Red Book. Honestly, I think that if I read this story a few years ago, I would be a different person today.

I am looking for my next book. I don't think I want another introspective look into my own faults. However, I don't want to read fluff.

I am asking because I have only really gotten into reading every day as of late.

Anyone read this??

>The work is inscribed by Jung with the title Liber Novus (The New Book). The folio size manuscript, 11.57 inches (29 cm) by 15.35 inches (39 cm), was bound in a red leather binding, and was commonly referred to as the "Red Book" by Jung. Inside are 205 pages of text and illustrations, all from his hand: 53 are full images, 71 contain both text and artwork and 81 are pure calligraphic text.[7] He began work on it in 1913, first in small black journals, during a difficult period of "creative illness", or confrontation with the unconscious, and it is said to contain some of his most personal material.[8] During the sixteen years he worked on the book, Jung developed his theories of archetypes, collective unconscious, and individuation.

>Until 2001, Jung's heirs refused to permit publication of the book and did not allow scholars access to it.[10] Until September 2009, only about two dozen people had seen it.[11] Historian Sonu Shamdasani, an employee of the Jung heirs and their advisor in the handling of unpublished Jung material, and Stephen Martin, a Jungian analyst, created the Philemon Foundation in order to facilitate publication of Jung's works.

Just found out about this today and thought I might share. Its been out for a year apparently, wondering if anyone else has heard or read about it before I begin reading.
