Hey /lit/
Got a kindle for Christmas, and enough gift cards for a couple books.
Have read about many of Carl Jung's theories, and am captivated by them. Want to read all of his books. I understand his writing style makes for a pretty tough read, though, and the passages from his books that I've read so far seem to confirm that. Which ones should I start with?

I'm reading The Portable Jung right now because someone else recommended it to me. So really I'm just repeating someone else's recommendation.

This is THE best place to start anon. After that you will absolutely want to read The Red Book.

Trips don't lie. Everyone recommends Portable Jung because it's literally the best place to start with Jung. Joseph Campbell did a god-tier job of compiling and arranging his work.

Man and His Symbols might be the best place to start. It was written in english for a general audience right before Jung's death.
So it's his only work written for non-academics, it was written in what I assume is your native tongue, it was his last work so it his completed thought in some sense, and it was written to introduce the common man to his theories.
It is a collection of essays, main one by him and others by his trusted students.
