I'm learning English and I like to read books so I use your channel to practice my listening, your pronunciation is so good that I understand everything❤😊
16:59 Responding to the question you made in the video, I do break the spine of my books 😅 this may come off as arrogant but I value a book for its content, not as a physical object for most books nowadays are mass produced and the quality is not the same as it used to be when books were made by hand. There are several paperbacks which I do handle cautiously but for the majority, I prioritise their content and what I can potentially gain from them. I know this comment is rather long but I would also like to add that your videos are ever so enjoyable to watch! 🙃I highly appreciate the work you put into producing them, genuinely, you are one of my favourite creators ☺️
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad you like my little videos ✨ I think it is totally fine when people handle books as an object of daily use, for me it really comes down to personal preference and both is very much understandable :)
I know, I'm late to the party... anyway: I break the spines usually as soon as I start reading the book, because if I try to keep it nice, I will not read it. Also, you have "Medea, Stimmen" by Christa Wolf, have you read "Kassandra" by her? I adore that book (in German). And what do you think of Moers and Zamonien?
I have not read Kassandra yet, but I would be interested to read more Christa Wolf! Moers is absolutely amazing! His world building is so fascinating however I must say that the second book (Das Labyrinth der Träumenden Bücher) wasn‘t as strong
@@luise_marianne Yeah, giving us only half the story was so mean. There's another one of his that I like a lot: Prinzessin Insomnia und der alptraumfarbene Nachtmahr. As for Christa Wolf's work: I can recommend all of them (Störfall, August, the diaries...), but Kassandra is certainly the height of her style (takes it from Medea just that bit further and is brilliant).
I wish you good luck in overcoming your fear of flying though I do understand the fear of it. Flying, for me, was terrifying the first couple of times but I ended up being incredibly philosophical and thinking of how much it put into perspective. Following that experience I am no longer afraid to fly and think much more often of how tiny everything looks / is from the view of the plane. Also, what is the title of the book next to the book by American Duchess? The mauve & pink toned book?
Thank you so much! ✨ I would love to overcome it, but I had a bad experience once and it stuck with my mind… I will need to slowly approach again. The book on the right? It is an Introduction to Austrian Literature History („Eine kurze Geschichte der Literatur in Österreich“ by Wynfrid Kriegleder). The one on the left is about sewing techniques, if you meant that one :)
Grosses Spiel und When the Night comes schauen sehr interessant aus. Werde ich mir auch holen. Hast du schon Ransmayr gelesen? Der hat Die Schrecken des Eises und der Finsternis geschrieben. Das Buch fand ich sehr gut. Mein liebstes Buch von ihm ist aber Die letzte Welt. Ich mag das Setting und die mystische Atmosphäre in dem Buch einfach sehr gerne. Ich bin jemand der seine Bücher wie ein Heiligtum behandelt. Kommt aber darauf an welche Bücher es sind, da ich auch relativ oft Second Hand Bücher oder beschädigte Exemplare kaufe. Ich bin auch genauso bei DVDs/Blu Rays, da gibts nie irgendwelche Kratzer oder so, weil ich mir sehr auf die Dinge aufpasse. Ich glaube du bist da ja genauso oder?
Ransmayr ist auf meiner Liste, bin noch nicht dazu gekommen. Danke für den Vorschlag :) Ja, bei mir ist das ähnlich. Second Hand Bücher dürfen ruhig danach aussehen, aber wenn ich mir ein neues kaufe pass ich schon gut drauf auf..
