so glad I‘m only 17 and hopefully have a lot of time left. So I‘m thinking: If I read 10 books I always wanted to read per year I can read 700 books until I‘m 87 so thats quite a lot. I‘m still a bit stressed haha

@thierrynormandeau868 2 года назад

Don’t worry about it too much, there are always ways to make time for more books. My solution was to turn to audiobooks during chores such as cooking, dishes, folding laundry, biking to school/work, etc. I hope this helps :)

@aianahlelis7021 2 года назад

some tips that i would give would be to make a daily quota that you follow, bring your book EVERYWHERE so that when you have little pockets of time you can read a couple pages. also ebooks are a good option to read on the go on your phone or on a kindle, good luck 👍🏽

You're singlehandedly saving me from losing my shit while I'm cramming my bachelor's thesis. Usually I avoid book "influencers" because I find the quantity over quality culture so stressful, they make me feel so guilty for my years-long uni-induced reading slump and generally give me anxiety with their drama in the space I perceived as safe for so many years. But your videos are really peaceful and I relate to you a lot. You helped me look forward to the time after my deadlines when I can just go to a bookstore, treat myself with as many books as I want and read whatever I'm in the mood for. Thank you 🖤✨

@theprince4793 2 года назад

Considering Tolstoy and Dickens were paired together, Dostoevsky and Eliot could be paired together. There both lauded for their psychological developments to the novel and for their philosophical expressions within the novel. However, whereas Dostoevsky’s philosophical ideas are more well known, Eliot’s are often marginalized. For example, it often gets lost that she produced the first translation of Spinoza into English, which carries into her work with her treatment of nature, emotion and free will. She also translated Fuerbach into English, and was part of the Victorian movement for a secular Christianity. They were also both writing at approximately the same time which allows contrasts between agrarian Russia and Industrial England etc.

@dariostevens250 2 года назад

This is a great idea, also Victor Hugo could be paired

@ba-gg6jo 2 года назад

I read Silas Marner at school 50 years ago and it has always stayed with me. Excellent author, who as you say has been marginalised through the years. She hardly gets a mention these days mores the pity. Stay safe.

@Ninaofthe90s 2 года назад

Books I really want to read but haven't yet because they intimidate me : Bleak House (Charles Dickens), Anna Karenina (Tolstoy), Middlemarch (George Eliot), Lolita (Victor Nabokov), and basically everything by Dostojewski. Authors I really want to get into: Agatha Christie, Thomas Hardy, Daphne du Maurier, Edith Wharton. And I wanna read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Fantasy I want to read: The wheel of time series. But there are SO MANY books in that series. Scary. I have read The Count of Monte Christo and Les Misérables (Victor Hugo) recently and it was so worth it - even though I was so intimidated by it. I've also read all of Shakespeare's work, so that's something I guess

@tatyanaparakhina6356 2 года назад

I discovered Nabokov when started to read The Defense (it's about defense in playing chess), that I found occasionally in my house. After that I heard about The Invitation to Beheading that I am reading now, and it is so true to life that I sometimes believe the book is like burning my hands... Lolita is also a great book, but you should understand that the story is told by this insane guy, while in reality there is a tragedy of him breaking the girl's life.

Nice video! A thing I realized though is that a lot of readers with english as their mother tongue don´t read a lot of french or german classics like Flaubert or Goethe. If you´re into magical realism I can highly recommend the tin drum by Günter Grass which is a picaresque novel that plays during the nazi times.

the shadow of the wind !!! i've had iit on my physical tbr for years but haven't read it yet! if you want to read some shorter zafon to begin with his works i highly recommend Marina! it's very gothic and i adored the story! i also wanna read sooo many of these before i die! and i'm currently reading the aeneid and i'm really enjoying it! also i remember recommending the house of the spirits when you read 100 years! allende's writing is as gorgeous as garcia marquez's and i love how her story follows female leads! i studied the book in the last year of high school and i loved getting to analyse it

The Master and Margarita is without a doubt the most creative book I've ever read!! I hope you enjoy it!

I can’t believe I haven’t read any of these so far (not even the Pessoa one even though I’m Portuguese) but I’m actually reading brothers Kalamazov right now and I’m really getting into it! I love that your list has authors from all over the world and not only English native speakers (definitely saw Saramago’s book on your shelf and would love to hear your thoughts about that book in particular) Your videos are so lovely and I always end up adding more books to my TBR on goodreads every time!

I finished The Master and Margarita this year. You're going to love it! But, I believe the context of this novel is very, very important to understand because it came out (or to be more precise, was not allowed to come out) at a very politically crucial time in Russia, and knowing that really helped me appreciate the novel.

To the Lighthouse (my favorite novel from one of my favorite writers), The Brothers Karamazov, and The Book of Disquiet are some of my favorite books of all time :) So excited for you to eventually get to them.

I am so excited for you to read Bulgakov! The Master and Margarita is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s really a book about writing/creation. You’re going to love it.

The Shadow of the Wind is stunning! It is truly a masterpiece. If you end up enjoying it, I highly recommend reading more books from The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, my favourite one was The Angel's Game.

my first Woolf novel was To The Lighthouse and it was definitely a great place to start!

I read The Memory Police earlier this year in the book club that I’m in. It’s not a book I would’ve picked on my own, but oh my gosh I’m so glad I got the chance to read it! It’s so so good and I still think about the ending to this day! Read it, you definitely won’t regret it!

The Inferno is great! Definitely need to reread.

Jess here from Calgary Canada! The divine comedy changed my life. I’m now starting my masters in Language and Literature (Italian) studies to study it more deeply. My favorite translation is from Sinclair (if you’re interested in reading Purgatorio or Paradiso)
