Honestly, no one since Frazer has ever written something as encyclopedic in such an enjoyable style. I truly love his general analytical parallels and sometimes attempt historical parallels. I also enjoy his perception of magic. He even shows appreciation for this false science leading to our sharpened version. It is so interesting to see how pattern recognition in humans leads to so much good and bad. It's awesome to see you take this seriously, my friend.

Great video! Your comments and thoughts certainly piqued my interest and I would love to dive into this work at some point. I love reading on religion and myth, especially when it's a deep analysis.

I will have to read the Golden Bough - as much for the beautiful turn of phrase as for the myth and magic.

I first read this as a teenager (which, funnily enough, led me to his translation of Apollodorus' The Library, thus leading me to take Ancient Greek in college). It may be a fluke, but as soon as I started watching this, my mind went to Graves' The White Goddess, which is strange because I happen to be currently reading his The Reader over Your Shoulder; which of course, is all about writing better English, & hearing Frazer's writing makes me nostalgic for the days when writers had vast vocabularies in their minds & knew how to use them in the construction of excellent sentences. Well done. One couldn't help but notice the guitars, &c on the wall behind you. So here are two random questions: 1-How do you feel about the accordion? B-Where are you from? I am no expert in English dialects/accents, but have some small knowledge & I'm having trouble placing yours. My particular favourite is the Geordie dialect

Thank you very much for watching. I completely agree that there's something about the clarity of writing that I aspire towards, especially in non-fiction. To be honest, I'd say I'm impartial to the accordion. A KZbinr David Bruce made a great video talking about it, but since I studied Jazz, it's not really come into my sphere, either compositionally or in performance. I'm from Sydney, Australia.

@@readreadofficial I would point you towards the album Squeeze Me, a four album set that is all about the accordion in Jazz. Before electrical amplification came along, the accordion was welcomed on stage, because it can reach fairly high acoustic volumes. I have clicked all the appropriate buttons & I look forward to your future videos.
