I bought another analysis of faust to read, by a big name Ardnt, He translated the Norton Critical Edition of Faust, which was a big deal. I didn't like that translation though, it seemed choppy even though he put it into poetry as it originally is. Seemed forced to me.

I bought the Norton Critical Edition of Yeats' poetry and Prose. Never read anything by him so this will be a surprise.
I bought the norton critical edition of Ovid's Metamorphesis. He's a roman poet like Virgil.

Then I was told to buy a couple Jungian books on masculinity. I have no clue what to expect with these books, but phd holding philosophers recommended them to me.
Man someone went on a spree 😉
