Primitive Mythology Book

This was one of the best books on mythology I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I only say it is "one of the" because I've started reading some others of Campbell's that are just as awesome. I've been a fan of mythology for as long as I can remember but this was the first time I was able to read a book by someone who shares my enthusiasm with the topic. I was enthralled by his re-tellings and his explanations. I was going to read all three of Masks of God Volumes but I decided to hold off on the next two till I can fully digest how powerfully Primitive Mythology hit me. It was profound. It was one of the most enjoyable academic book experiences I've ever had!! It also has had my mind firing off in new directions. I've been seeing movies and literature in a new way. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves reading. It will open up new ways to look at contemporary literature and movies--making it even more enjoyable than it normally is. His ideas on the evolution and origin of myths make perfect sense and add a layer to all story telling that I wasn't previously aware existed!!
