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

this was so beautifully put. i just finished rereading this and you really put a lot of what i’ve felt abt this book into words better than i ever could. i feel like this is really a work that can’t be summarized or encapsulated because like you said, there isn’t a wasteful word in the story at all.

THE BOOK IS BASICALLY DONE BY SOMEONE ON DRUGS THAT LET'S THEIR MIND WANDER WITHOUT REALITY

Just started this book tonight ❤️❤️

You russian 🇷🇺?

“By day I am nothing by night I am I” just hits

Omg I was looking for a review. Thank you❤

My ex-girlfriend borrowed me this book around 7 years ago because she wanted to infect me with reading passion and she kinda succeed on that. I don't remember the plot but I remember that it really touched me and I truly discovered the magic of books back then. Now I am in the middle of 1Q84's third volume and bought used Norwegian Wood just now so I can have it for myself. Thank you for expressing yourself, very interesting usage of words.

So accurate.

I agree with you that cioeran s writings can be uncomfortable and sometimes I don't understand them . I readed his book The trouble with being born . I like that this man is honest but I first had some suicidal thoughts because he reveals my darkest thoughts and feelings..but at the end I just get into it.esistence can be terrifying .hope I die soon .thank youuu

Anyone who gushes over Clarice's writing is a friend! Hi, subscribed!

Loved your review. I'm very drawn to his works, I don't know why, but his writing is like a magnet, I can't simply not stop reading. I'll subscribe to see more of your rewiews! <3 greetings from Chile

If you liked Invisible Cities, you need to read Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges. That book is a Universe unto itself.

I just discovered your channel and watching almost every video , so beautiful , each of them . Its like a piece of art , the way you move your hand , the way you talk , sometimes the silence between your words , I was going to read this book , so I searched about it , and here you are . Have a wonderful life dear .

Thank you so much for this video. Every time I see people talk about this manga, they just say it’s about abuse. And obviously there’s abuse in the story. But if that was the only point, it could have ended way earlier… There was a lot in there and I’m glad someone is talking about it.

Wao that's insightful💜. I guess I am more of an interactive reader.

Sandeep maheswari, j krishmaruti are best philosopher

Nice to see, other brown folks( like me) engaging with this brilliant piece of literature.

Cheer Up!

Interesting to see a woman's perspective on a book about man's psyche

How's the font size in this one? In my other Penguin black classics, the font is really small !

Thanks for this beautiful review. 😊 I have this book❤

I have this book. ❤ thanks for this beautiful review 😊

Good time was a real good time 🎉😂

I listen to the audio of it often. 😂

I think the book is great '' NO LONGER HUMAN '' . I want too read it too . but things like this really create an impact in my life . the book seems depressing . on above having stress+ anxiety due to current things happening in my life . I seems to be confused about the books . they are emotionally Impactfull books which I don't know would be good for my depressed state of mind . but still i would give it a try for sure

“Read this book with your spine and not your emotions.” That was sublime! Thank you so much for posting this video. I did my senior seminar on Nabokov at Rutgers.

You are a beautiful woman and I don't know any information about Cats Cradle but thank you

I have read the book now, and at some point I didn't want this book to end, but once I hit the final chapter, I felt a deep sadness and wanted to read it to it's conclusion as fast as I could. Good review it resonates with my own, Thank you.

I come back to this video and your other recommendations videos often, when i'm looking for TBR suggestions. I love both of your tastes in books. I have a recommendation for you - I just finished and loved it : Reveries of the Solitary Walker , by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

"I want to be with you, it is as simple, and as complicated as that."

Which book is best of reading his poem? Like you have mension in beginning of the video.

I'm newbie in books reading, this will be my first book if i read it, also can you please tell me what should first i read " the setting sun" or " no longer human "?

From which website do uh read it ??

The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolf Steiner is the most pertinent philosophy for our age.

I have finally finished reading the series. It was quite a downer. I have also read an interview with Inio Asano after it, so I have some thoughts. SPOILERS: According to the author, the whole cult plotline was real and they have actually saved the world through their sacrifice. Also the black dot is portrayed as the God character. This suggests that it's actually a horror manga and when Punpun says the prayer, he actually summons metaphysical evil. The series is actually about metaphysical evil corrupting an innocent idealistic kid. It's worth remembering that Punpun's uncle learns the prayer from an extremely depraved teenager. It seems that some of the bizarre acts of depravity happening in the manga, particularly most of those committed by Punpun are a result of intervention of supernatural evil, not merely trauma and mental illness.

Love these recs

just finished this and well surely it was comfortable and a lil bit relatable haha

After watching that video by horses I read farewell to the arms by Hemingway and the ending felt soo much more painful.i didn't sleep that night :(
