I’m looking forward to seeing the books you’re reviewing but at two minutes in I’m still distracted by your messy bookshelves. Straighten them out, man! Sorry to be “that guy” but set design is important too.
#9 - Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Great choice for the topic of psychological duality of good and evil that exists simultaneously all of us. I think I will diverge from your list momentarily and read The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde another great short story that deals with this topic. What do you think, my friend? 🥰
Thanks for this thoughtfully compiled and varied list Soheil. I shall certainly add Candide and Things Fall Apart to my (already far too long!) TBR list!
Woooow, just wooow Soheil jan🔥🔥🔥 excellent is just a trivial word for your way of explaining the summary of the books in English. We are proud of you❤️❤️ I'm also following you on instagram bro. Take care and introduce more books to us bro.
Thanks for a thoughtful and well-compiled list! Considering the waste land that can be Book Tube, I found your content a breath of fresh air. (Liked and subscribed.) And speaking of a "Waste Land", I was pleasantly surprised to see the Eliot poem included. I'm reading it now and it's a (delightful) challenge. I agree with some other commenter about including Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". I'd also offer, for your consideration, a new, short, destined-to-be-a-classic by Claire Keegan entitled "Small Things Like These". This small book packs a big punch - check it out, it's quietly devastating. All the best - keep up the great work!
Thanks for your insightful comment. I really appreciate it and I am very happy for you attention and support. Thanks for your book recommendation. I'll give that a shot. By the way, good luck with The Waste Land 😍 challenging but very beautiful and inspirational 📚
