~ This was very hard to do, I left out many titles. I have a complete separate list for things like: Mythology, Legends, Stories, and Folklore/Tales. Here are some Honorable Author mentions: Jung, Campbell, Morgan Daimler, Huxley, Neitzsche, Plato, Ray Mears, Tolkien, William Blake, John Nagy (his series on Freemasonry) and so many more! I don't read Novels, or stories of any type besides Mythology. Not my thing. *Tolkien is the only exception!
