I'm going through a breakup right now and listening to the podcast has really brought me comfort, thank you so much

I'm sorry to hear that! Take care of yourself. I went though that a few months ago and it's no joke. I found books and music to be both great escapes and therapy.

I agree with Ariel in regards to the tracking books vs pages chat however (this is slightly unrelated) I have started doing this thing I’ve called TBR Loyalty Card (idea isn’t mine, just the name, I saw this on tiktok.), where 1 page read = 1 cent, so I track and add up the pages I read and convert to a dollar amount. Only when I have enough will I go buy a new book. For example, a 380 page book would be $3.80. Doing this has been helping me prioritise my longer books and books I already own.

@jessicabebenek6471 Месяц назад

A note about liquorice in tea: this ingredient is actually liquorice root and is naturally very sweet. I’d guess it’s being used in the tea blend to mimic the sweetness of a biscuit. Actually, the flavour that most people don’t like in black liquorice candy is anethole, which also occurs in anise and fennel. Fun fact from an herbal tea nerd! 🌱

For Ariel - and those who might find themselves in New Brunswick - if you’re willing to drive half an hour from Moncton to the town of Sackville (it’s actually closer to Nova Scotia than Moncton, 15 minutes from Amherst), there’s the cutest indie bookstore called Tidewater Books! My mom and I love spending time there, browing the books and the gifts/decorations section. The whole town very charming too

Ariel, I have a tea-related book recommendation for you. It's a dinky little book that I stumbled across in the classics section in my library called The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura. It's a non-fiction book about the history of tea and Japanese Teaism, written in 1906. It has some interesting chapters including Taosim and Zennism, and Flowers. I think you would enjoy it. I'm not sure what KO would make of biscuit tea but there's something quirky and eccentric that comes across in his writing, so who knows, maybe he'd be on board!

The book that marks a milestone in my reading and changed my reading taste forever (not the be dramatic) is Just Kids by Patti Smith. I became sooo obsessed with 70s NYC when I read it and even went to see Patti in concert twice since reading it. It’s THE 70s book for me. Plus it’s my favourite memoir and so so inspiring (but also very sad). Big recommendation if you enjoyed Eve Babitz :)

Thanks for talking about my question on what "display tables" you'd put together for the book truck, hearkening back ep. 77 of Books Unbucket. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

The original Twister film is one of hollywoods greatest works of art!!!! Helen Hunt is PERFECTION. My husband had never seen it somehow (we’ve been together 12 years and I refer to it all the time but never realized he hadn’t seen it!) so I made him watch it a few weeks ago and he was fully invested. The special effects stand up, probably better than the effects in the new film will.

@joreads8782 Месяц назад

Can confirm the statement for Australian tea drinkers. Also went and bought some after hearing Ariel expound it’s goodness. I had been eyeing the toast and jam and went for the biscuit one instead. It’s still pretty good with cows milk FYI.

@nomorebedtime Месяц назад

I just finished reading a book that's PERFECT for Ariel: Finding George Orwell in Burma by Emma Larkin. So good!

@jennybright1276 26 дней назад

Ariel, I learned from a science friend that the capsaicin in chili that makes stuff spicy activates pain receptors so it isn't really a flavor at all. I used to avoid spice at all costs until I worked in a Thai restaurant that made a giant batch of food for staff meal and I couldn't turn away the free meal. Little by little I built up my spice tolerance and now when I eat salsa that's not spicy at all I find it almost bland. I would've never imagined I'd like spicy food!

@netogrof Месяц назад

I read Of Mice and Men in high school and it was a very awkward experience. I have a sister with a mental disability and seeing how George used Lennie for money and treated him as less then was really maddening but also the whole narrative that someone with a disability is dangerous and needs to be killed really made me feel so uncomfortable in class discussions.

@a.e.barron2549 11 дней назад

I'm slowly catching up on these episodes so maybe someone's already said this BUT just in case someone hasn't said it already I'd recommend reading Annie Dillard's essay Total Eclipse ! It's in her collection Teaching a Stone To Talk, and hearing Ariel's description of the eclipse reminded me of Dillard's descriptions

@myreadsbooks Месяц назад

Raeleen, you should check out Cookie Mueller, very similar vibes to Eve Babitz, but in new york not LA, and the 80’s/90’s not the 60’s/70’s

ariel i have a graphic novel suggestion!! it’s similar to the one you read (person being transported to an alien world and looking for someone), but it’s one story and also adds an element of found friends. it’s called skip by molly mendoza, it’s a bit short at 168 pages but the art style is absolutely gorgeous. i’ve never seen anyone else read it but if you can get your hands on it i’d be so curious to hear your thoughts!!

@CarinaZacharias Месяц назад

No way! When I read and reviewed "Of Mice and Men" on my channel I remember saying "it reads like a play" - and I didn't even know it was supposed to be a play-novelette. That's so interesting. by the way: I was so looking forward to this episode, thanks you for this great podcast.

Ariel, read Open Me Carefully, which is an exchange of real letters between Emily Dickinson and Sue Gilbert/Dickinson. Also read "The Bee and the Fly: The Improbable Correspondence of Louisa May Alcott and Emily Dickinson" (that one is fictional).

@sahara0 Месяц назад

I am so happy that Raeleen loved Eve Babitz. She is so underrated and my favourite author of all time. I just love how poetic but funny and witty her writing style is. My favourite book of all time is Sex & Rage by her. It has some standout prose on the sea and alcoholism, and such a peculiar main character. Eve is just so fun.

Raeleen oh my goodness you look fantastic in the peach hat! Speaking of peach, have you seen the book "Peach Pit: Sixteen Stories of Unsavory Women" edited by Molly Llewellyn and Kristel Buckley?

Ps Ariel I'm sorry you didn't like the Bird and Blend tea, but glad you didn't buy it specially on my rec haha maybe just add a little cocoa to the Yorkshire digestive tea instead 😂

If you like Eve Babitz you might like Joan Didion's The White Album. And...Down and Out in Paris and London is rough as it chronicles Orwell's hand to mouth existence during that period of his life. Not a light read. Finally, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is a shining pillar of a novel and I highly recommend it.

@MJ-in-Canada Месяц назад

Yes, the Joan Didion book is a good suggestion.

Ariel, I'd love to know your thoughts about Julia by Sandra Newman, which is 1984 told through Julia's perspective. Because you love Orwell, does the opportunity to spend more time in a world he created feel good or exciting? Or do you feel somewhat protective of a book you love and don't want it to be messed with? I've sat on both sides of the fence with different books and would be interested to hear your perspective.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. It is always weird knowing where shows like twin peaks, twilight and others were filmed. Rosalynn, Forks and Snoqualmie Falls and how large tour groups especially from Japan would come into town just to see locations. Ariel I to love Biscuit tea. Since you like Yorkshire tea. You might want to try their Yorkshire Gold.

@emmasimons7970 Месяц назад

I've listened since the beginning and I love the podcast! This is my first time commenting so I apologize for the potential awkwardness 😅 I wanted to put a few short books on everyone's radar: "One Woman Show" by Christine Coulson is about a 20th century woman, told in museum plaques. This was one of the most unique formats I have read in a long time. It was so fascinating to see that so much can be told in a museum label. I think it's about 208 pages, but with the exception of two or three times, the words are only on the right page so you're really reading like 104 pages. Oh and fair warning, if you are not an art student or haven't taken art history classes, be warned you might have to look up art terms often. "A Month in the Country" by J.L. Carr is set after World War I and is about a guy who is restoring a medieval mural that was found in the local church. It is less than 200 pages. I haven't read this myself yet but when I heard someone describing it, I knew I had to buy it and give it a go. They also made it into a movie and it stars Colin Firth and Kenneth Branagh. Lastly, "Foster" by Claire Keegan is a short story or novella. I am not usually one for short stories or novellas unless it is a part of a series that I love, but my gosh I fell in love with this story! It is set in Ireland and is about a girl who is sent to live with a couple for the summer while her mother gives birth to her new sibling. In less than 100 pages Claire Keegan has you caring about the characters while it takes some books hundreds of pages to do. I rarely cry at books (and when I do it's a tear) but I very nearly cried at the end. I finished it the other day and it has consumed my thoughts. Every time I think about the characters and the story (again, which is all the time) I feel it in my throat and heart.

@MinestroneChad Месяц назад

So interesting to hear about the play-novelette of Steinbeck's! He has another one called The Moon is Down, and I think it's another play-novelette because there's a scene where he introduces six characters at once and it's really hard to keep track of, haha! The Grapes of Wrath is a massive effort to get through, but I'd really recommend East of Eden. That's such an incredible book. I think it's his best!

Raeleen, definitely seek out more Eve Babitz books. And if you want more 60s/70s California reading, try “Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and the Music of Laurel Canyon” by Harvey Kubernik. 🎶This coffee table book covers several decades of music and contains many photos that bring it to life. You can’t discuss 60s/70s California books without mentioning “I’m with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” by Pamela Des Barres. The ultimate kiss-and-tell book.💋

I tired listening to interview with the vampire on audiobook and I literally had to stop it was so insanely pedophilic. I’m sure it’s supposed to speak to the evils of being a vampire but it was just sooo heavy handed and disgusting :/ wild that I neVER heard that before in discussions
