What a magical book collection !! 🤩

I would like to listen Audiobooks narrated by you. You explain eloquently.

I spy a copy of Blood Meridian! Have you read it or anything by McCarthy? It would be very interesting to hear what you thought!

I waited your book review

Is everything mentioned in the completely true?

great review. i have been struggling to take it up given the non-fiction bias in me. if you are into soviet/nazi fiction, check out Vasily Grossman's works that covers both the rules.

thanks for the recommendations. but for me it will take around two years to finish these books.

Can you suggest some literature based on poverty like hunger by knut hamsun ?

This is the best fiction work I read in a long time.

I normally don't get nightmares from books or movies, but this book gave me nightmares for a long time.

i'm so excited whenever you post (even when it's about heavy books) 🤭📚✨️

My father bought this book some twenty years ago telling us he always wanted to read it and that he would have done so after his retirement. When the day finally arrived, he gave me the book and decided to spend the rest of his days taking care of his garden. He's still growing vegetables, while I've got this rather intimidating tome on my shelf still wrapped in its plastic packaging. Maybe it's about time :)

I think of how any conception of utopia starts and ends only goes on to provide more evidence for the tragic view of life and human nature. What Thucydides says in the History he writes, what Homer testifies in his Iliad or what Vyasa leads one to in the Mahabharata. What even is there if not the self-overcoming of nihilism in modern times. And maybe tragic view will always leave space for hope in moments, which helped Solzhenitsyn survive. What Pascal wrote in the Pensees..."The heart has its reasons which reason will never understand."

Your book club is a breath of fresh air. Thank you and thank you for your channel, your love of literature is a beacon for others to follow to educate and enhance reading experience.

Great job.

Not an easy book to review, I think you did a great job. House of the Dead by Dostoyevsky is similar topic but a bit less depressing. Dostoyevesky spent time in the camps before the revolution.

I've been meaning to read this one for a while. I recently read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Frankl and I feel there's a lot of crossover in themes with these two books. I should probably take a break before going into another heartbreaker. Thanks for the insight, a good primer for this work :)

Recently bought this book after so much of thinking.. seeing your review on it now makes me feel like my purchase is worth it.. 🔥🔥👍

Finally. :)

Read "Brainwashing" by Edward Hunter and "Thought Reform" by Lifton To learn more about Psy torture.

Such a blissful and peaceful video it was! You earned me as your subscriber. I am glad to have connected with someone who doesn’t fancy having and showing shelves of YA books but reads real hardcore literature. Pleased to be connected with you. Peace and knowledge always guide us.

Nice

This musings, its critical take...💯🙏 I really like it❤

Naughty Oreo! Love this video! ❤

Are u a literature student?

After so long sis😢😢

You look like Emilia Clarke in the thumbnail for some reason😂

Happy to see you again

Start reading tolkien. ❤️🤌🏻🥹

I loved that collection of short stories by Machado De Assis. I only read the debut novel by Lispector, definitely need to get more of her brilliant writings. Where do you stand on R. K. Narayan? I've recently discovered his books, which I'm finding endearing :)

Always look forward to your book recs

Hey, I'm curious to know as to where you buy these books because some of them are really hard to find.

Kundera's books are must-reads

good to see you again, i thought u died and i missed the funeral. (!)

ahhhhhh!! she's back 🤭😁💃✨️

Well, hi. Here I am, once again, agreeing with you on every level. Much love from your Brazilian sista!

Great recommendations ✨

Interesting. mostly

Listen to Amy Hungerford's lecture on this. It's riveting.

I absolutely love your videos talking about this book, and the broader theme many male writers have: men not feeling like humans, but instead ghosts, animals, The Bachelor, The Outcast ect. I like that these books reckon with the depressing nature of life, what frustrates me is how seldom these writers are able to differentiate between truth and deception in their self-perception and perception of others and the world. Okay you don´t feel human, but has it occured to you that you have been sold a false and limited concept of what a human is? Reckoning with the absurd, that culturally and socially we are all taken for a ride when it comes to the understandings we get, is hard, scary and depressing enough. I find it tiring how so many suffer from that which is false. Like they started engaging with the mystical, started stripping away veneers but just stayed there. There´s little to no ego dissolution, and they never - this includes Dazai - seem to ever attempt to take women out of the 2-3 categories they place them in and realize they too are human-not-human. And this last part; when one is not able to recognize the complexity and similarities of the other, they themselves never really stood a chance.

Your videos are so lovely and your plants are such a vibe! Added Tsushima and Akutagawa to my wishlist.

Great recommendations!! Add Catherine Breillat's movies, especially 'Romance'. Also, Crash(1996) by David Cronenberg. Don't Worry Darling for Florence Pugh's character. Death Proof by Tarantino!!

Bertrand Russell is the best author to start with, especially his Problems of Philosophy. He has a wonderful, crystal clear writing style that makes even the most difficult ideas easy.

Youre beautiful

Can’t find “trail of blood” is it the same as blood on the tracks? Thanks and great video

Have you read DOSTOVSKY?

I found your channel today and believe me i have gone through the most of your videos. Great work!

I read this book when I was at a low point in my life, it opened my eyes
