@@anotherbibliophilereads I don't plan to revisit the other alphabet tags but I'd be happy if anyone else wants to do them. James hinted that he might. I particularly like the prompts for the A tag.
Thanks for tackling the A Tag once again, I think I should take a look at Sarah Holland-Batt's poetry. If you didn't like Pride and Prejudice, you probably wouldn't like the rest of Jane Austen's oeuvre. I've only read 7 books that appeared on the New York Times top 100 books of the 21st century. Good luck with your move.
Your answer were really interesting. I've heard a lot of good things about Manga, but I haven't gotten around to reading yet. However, I think I start looking into it after the way you've spoken about some of them in this video. Good luck with the move and dealing with your internet provider. Moving is always a pain and I've recently changed internet provider, lucky not whilst having to move this time, and it took over nearly two months to get things sort out.
I've been double tagged on this one so I really need to do it! I enjoyed your answers - I am not very knowledgeable about manga so that's interesting to hear about. I did read all of those Martin books and I also skimmed past some boring parts. Thanks for tagging me!
I hope the move goes well. It's very likely that I'll be moving myself before Christmas. I'm not looking forward to having to shift through my books and deciding which ones to keep, sell, etc. Major stress!
I really enjoy 20th century American drama too. I’ve been reading a lot of William Inge lately. My favorite playwright is Horton Foote. Favorite single play is Our Town by Thornton Wilder. Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller are both very good too. I have not yet read Eugene O’Neill or Edward Albee.
I don’t think I’ve seen _Our Town_ and I’ve never read it, so I only know it by reputation - and it’s unique how remarkably different people love it. Generally speaking I can’t stand reading Tennessee Williams’ plays, but I’ve seen a version of _Cat_ that was just phenomenal.
I am an average reader, not so much anymore. But this showed up in my recommendations from me watching A.I videos? Huh. Well anyway. I always found people doing their own thing with passion without worrying what other people think. People make channels to get views and money seems to be goal. Nothing wrong with that but it is such a breathe of fresh air to see someone on here just doing their thing. Sub and liked
Yeah I have that TR trilogy as well, but the first one is a zillion dollars in hardcover so I have the first in paperback and the other 3 hardcover. It bugs me too haha
I wasn't too fond of Schiff's biography. I've seen the Llewellyn Jones group biography, looks cool. The Darkening Age looks interesting. I like how Goldsworthy gives Philip enough space in his book. Just received Alexander at the End of the World by Rachel Kousser on his Indian campaigns I believe. Nice collection
Excuse me if you've discussed this elsewhere as I've only just subscribed, but I would strongly recommend Walter Burkert, esp. If you're interested in the ancient near East. I'd also recommend his early work on the Pythagoreans.
Christopher Clark is one I want to get to at some point. I enjoy Roger Crowley quite a bit. I also think Holland is pretty middle of the road. Cline is one i wish i liked more after reading 1177 and After 1177
Great vid. I liked Soviet Century a lot more than i thought I would. Glad you liked Wevers Scribes and Kings, it was fantastic. I've been meaning to get something on Bismarck, I'll have to give the one you showed a look
_First!_ That was _fast!_ Do you like Gene Wolfe? Im just finishing the _The Urth of the New Sun._ Im a 45+ years warching history of "General Hospital." 😮🎉😂 Good one, James! Youre right about "Buglers!" 🎉 Greg & I would like to interview you on our Monday Night Live Show end of July or August. What'd ya think?
@@jamesholder13 A lot of my poetry makes use of Ancient Near Eastern imagery. I've also written about Robert Fagels' Homer translations. An ambush of joy.
Ah, another poetry obsessive - love it! I am an old fella who's has been lucky enough to make poetry, criticism & literary essays his career. Yes, I know, I'm very fortunate. Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts, & I look forward to following your bookish adventures.
