Both are good introductions to (or is it remembrances of?) the bardo realm.

Wish I woulda bought one of the big portfolios of pyramid inscriptions for myself, as well as the ones I bought as gifts for others....so many things like that I woulda/shoulda bought long ago, but no money . At least now, I'm not making the same mistake with khuks, even though still no money.:)
