oh yeah reading The Super Natural at night after the 7-yr-old falls asleep too, kinda always have a dozen books going at a time and rarely finish any in any timely way. they kinda all become a hallucinatory experience after awhile. I’m on page 6 of Encounters lol, but I’ve heard a few interviews with her about it and send compelling
Yeah I think I bought American cosmic off of a Radio Misterioso podcast/ interview I heard. And I find vallee quite fascinating
Atm I'm reading the chronicles of Narnia lolol🫡 maybe there is some overlap here somewhere with fairies/fairytales
Haa, that’s what I’m reading out loud to the kid at night. Really enjoying it. Just finished Last Battle and going back to finish the Horse and his Boy now. Kid let me finally. Always wants to hear The Magicians Nephew again and again and again, I think it will become like oral history if I read it many more times 😮💨
I wish I read it when I was a child lol, better late than never tho lolol. I have to ask... you reading publication or chronological order? Lol. I've decided on publication 🤔 no real reason tho
haaa, I had a suspicion about this chronology as we were reading. We didn’t really succeed in either order, just read what the kid would let me read. Kinda somewhere between both, with The Horse and his Boy coming last apparently
For sure. Last night I was listening to Gordon White talking about Vallee on a recent interview, and all the ufology stuff after, as essentially commentary to this, and now I feel I must read it too, somehow, someday: https://archive.org/details/carl-jung-flying-saucers-a-modern-myth-of-things-seen-in-the-skies-0_202012
Yes, I feel like vallee is pretty much going over this Jung book and probably not saying anything all that much different, although maybe throwing in some more speculations. It's a more an essay/short read really.
Although he does actually conduct scientific testing on ejecta and whatnot, well according to what I've read, and I haven't read his scientific papers or anything or verified in anyway. I suppose vallee's whole package (internet pioneer, VC funder, amateur stained glass window maker lol) makes him a curious character or something.
yes please
Mark Pilkington's Mirage Men book is worth a read too if you haven't already, there is a doc made from it

(it's on dailymotion if you havent seen and fancy it)
I’ll look into it, thanks!
He runs Strange Attractor press which has some great stuff, especially Erik Davis. More to add to the pile of unread books lolol:)
Erik Davis is gold tho 🫡
this is fantastic, let the piles grow
I want to read Authors of the Impossible, keep hearing it rec’d
