Top 20 war novelists of the 20th century? Sounds like a good idea for a video :)

Hi Steve. I met you through Matthew’s channel, and you are my favorite RU-vidr. You and Matthew. I don’t need other booktube channels. Thanks for your work! My mother loves you!

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

Well that's very nice to hear, but aren't you limiting yourself? What about Sarah the Bookish Knitter, our Queen of Romance? or Olive at a Book Olive and Ollie at Criminolly, who prove you can have a big channel and still be completely, wonderfully genuine? Or what about the younger generation, brilliant, chatty Joe Spivey or, heck, Micah Cummins, who still makes a video every year? There's plenty of must-watch BookTube - although I applaud your mother's taste!

Or Stephen E. Andrews, our Outlaw Bookseller? Or Britta Bohler and Hannah at Hannah's books, who bring more brains and insight to this than all the rest of us combined? Or Kelly at Books I'm Not Reading, the nicest person you'd ever want to watch? I can't imagine restricting my Booktube-viewing to two channels!

So grateful to you for teaching me to love older books!

Freida reminds me of my late mini dachshund Wolfie. I had just bought him home at 2-3 months old and we were outside when it those slow fat drops of rain started falling. He yelped at every drop that hit his back like it was acid and he never changed his mind about rain throughout his life.

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

Rain is coming. She can feel it, I can feel it. It'll be days of arguing!

That’s a great copy of the Book of the Seven Seas! My TBR is never going to go unscathed if I keep watching your videos. 😅🤣

Hey Steve, not sure how often you get to NYC but thought I'd ask if you have a favorite used bookstore here (other than Strand.) Thanks for all your videos. It's always a pleasure to see new ones in my feed!

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

That would be Housing Works on Crosby Street!

Some very different books there.

Is there an equivalent today of the Silver Fork novels of Disraeli? I think part of the problem reading him is that he wrote in a genre that's completely forgotten.

The Schubert book for for £100 in UK. I gave mine to a Schubert buff in a moment of madness. The similar Bach volume is never leaving my house.

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

100????

@battybibliophile-Clare 5 месяцев назад

£75 plus £24 postage was the cheapest i could find snd ut was only "good', which means anything but good.@@saintdonoghue

Hello Steve. I have read one book by Disraeli. It was Sybil. I wouldn't want to read another. I did enjoy a short Disraeli biography by Douglas Hurd and Edward Young and intend to read another of theirs on Sir Robert Peel. Maybe books about Disraeli are more readable than books by Disraeli.

@Bibliopolitan 5 месяцев назад

Have you ever done a vid on war novelists? As Deighton's 'Bomber' is my second favourite WWII novel (not that I've read a huge number) I would be very interested to discover 20 new (to me) writers better than him.

@gaildoughty6799 5 месяцев назад

Ah. The delightful “wintry mix” so dear to hearts of New Englanders. Yuck. Glad you got a chance to get to the Brattle before sleety, needle-like freezing rain arrives in Boston.

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

Oh, here's hoping it isn't wintry mix! Here's hoping it's just rain!

Lol I thought you said that being an author is not a talent but a muscle. If that's the case then Disraeli should have been at least ok because of the exercise that muscle got. Lmao

@saintdonoghue 5 месяцев назад

Hah! But as I mention in this video, he wrote for money. He never exercised his author muscles - only his speculator muscles.
