@zytigon Hey thanks I will check those titles out. :)

I was watching my fav movie (Apocalypse Now) and saw that the man in the end had this book so out of curiosity I looked it up. Seems very interesting.

@snatchpro I also caught a glimpse of the Golden Bough on the shelf in apocalypse now. Great reading on various cultures for sure. You can also find other books in other movies like kill Bill.
