The hero with a thousand faces

This was my second attempt to read the book. I only tried reading it the second time because of great opinions about this book of people who I think know their stuff (aka books they recommend are mostly amazing for one reason or another). This book is not for everyone and you can't blitz through it. It is difficult. There are also parts which are outdated, it is 46 year old after all.

For the first 80% of the book I was trying hard not to doze off, so much complexity, so many examples and you don't see the point. But then you get to the epilogue and everything makes sense.

It's like you are sitting with Campbell with at a table and he shows you through a landscape and there are all those interesting meticulously made pieces, they are nice, but you don't see the point. Then you get to the epilogue and he suddenly says: Come on now let's fly a balloon and every 1000 m or such you are repeating: “Aha!”, “Wow!”, “I get it now”.
The thing is you don't, not all of it, not at first. This book is a big steak for the brain, it takes time to digest and get all the nutrients out. Wile shall see how I will look at it in a few months...
