Kanan, you are an amazing reader...you should start your Pretentious Book Review Series..since u know so much

@bhaskarverma8443 7 лет назад

anyone who knew kanan's love for books before botcast or is it me to discover this the first time!!

@nagmadhingra 7 лет назад

Why does this guy make me feel so insecure? How can someone know about so many things?

@mecytotoxic 7 лет назад

Nagma Dhingra Yaar, your question goes so well with your dp !

@nagmadhingra 7 лет назад

mecytotoxic I look insecure in my dp?

@nagmadhingra 7 лет назад

mecytotoxic or dumb?

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

He is fucking smart. We are always jealous.

@mecytotoxic 7 лет назад

No! just that quizzical expression on your face.

@mecytotoxic 7 лет назад

"Post Modernism smells like whatever yo think" 😂😂😂😂 dead!!

@laharik.v3086 6 лет назад

I just read Guts. Thanks, now I can finish all my assignments on time because I don't have to worry about sleep anymore. :')

@sanjivanimandloi4843 7 лет назад

You guys should get rohan joshi. I think, just like kanan, he'll make me feel insecure about my extent of knowledge and still, just like this one, I'll love that BoTcast too.

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

We're working on it :D

@Anonymous-jj9sr 3 года назад

I've seen this and the first part multiple times and I did read if on a winters night a traveller and I loved it! I love what this vdo brings. Kanan's perspective towards things is so clear and interesting. Please bring him again ❤

@snehakale2917 7 лет назад

Love how much Kanan knows despite not having studied Literature. Really liked this episode. I would recommend J.M. Coetzee's Foe to everyone interested in meta-fiction. Talking about unreliable narrators, my favourite would be Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains of the Day.

@Saycheesecake 3 года назад

Read Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee! It’s amazing

@priyankagatti7456 7 лет назад

This is by far the best episode. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions.

@apoorvapuri8964 7 лет назад

@nilshedge4717 6 лет назад

@harshi168 7 лет назад

This podcast has been enlightening.

@zodiacmanan 7 лет назад

This is excellent.... I have been on the lookout for books to read, and now I don't have to be a pain in my friends' arse for recommendations.......also the banter is pretty entertaining!... Kudos!

@preetmendiratta1676 7 лет назад

Have to say, this channel for me is just a treasure. Don't know how I managed to complete four episodes on a workday. You guys don't seem to care for it but I'm on a philosophy kick these days so it would be nice to see it covered in at least one episode 😀

@ManzilMehta-qi2cz 7 лет назад

i checked out the two adult swim videos that kanan mentioned and i am freaked out to say the least. also an awesome podcast/videocast. keep it up !!

@anshika-_-motwani 7 лет назад

The Robert Frost bit was so funny 😂😂 All you guys have such great taste in books, and kanan's taste was like really unexpected!! Loved these 2 episodes.. Keep the botcasts coming!

@manmehakkaur2354 7 лет назад

Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amy Kaufman is a space opera novel and it only narrates through classified documents, censory emails, interviews etc and its amazing!

@shrutimullick4343 7 лет назад

thank you girls & Kanan...have to read Gut now ☺

@anshika-_-motwani 7 лет назад

It would be awesome if you could get Daniel Fernandes, I think he'd have a good sense of books. 🤓

@barshanayak6985 5 лет назад

Kanan you are so awesome and we share so many favourites! Italo Calvino is my God 💕😍

@sallysimpson77 7 лет назад

Intro and outro music is just TOO LOUD than the interview part!! Please do something about it

@ApoorvaaC 6 лет назад

Chuck Pahlaniuk is magical! And I got into his work with Guts! It’s actually my favourite. It’s disturbing yet all his work is like that, crazy and fascinating!

@oli.chatterjee 7 лет назад

cheesecake makes so much sense now

@ranjithapai5862 5 лет назад

I just loved the episode!! I love the way kanan speak and feeling very jealous that how could one be hv such knowledge 😅❤ Regretting fo being late to watch this video 😅

@ritikamedar6592 7 лет назад

please talk about the books that you read as teenagers!! would be really helpful since boards are coming up and people wouldn't have much to do later 😄😊 by the way, totally love this bodcast idea!! really looking forward to watching more of these!!

@SakshiSharma-fd6vs 7 лет назад

Alice recites "you are old Father William" to the caterpillar in Alice in wonderland. And also Solitary Reaper is by William Wordsworth. (yuck) This punderwoman(anuyeahh) is absolutely lovely, so is sharin with her cute fringes. Kanan "TOH HAI HI PYAR."

@AnuyaJakatdar 7 лет назад

sakshi sharma Punderwoman is awesome. Imma take that as my screen persona. Thank you :)

@qazrockz 7 лет назад

I guess most of you poem junkies know this, but this shiz about Robert Frost was something I got blown away by. Everybody reads and teaches us that Frost's comments on taking the less travelled road (from Road Not Taken, obviously) signifies how daring originality and ingenuity is something that should be appreciated. However, the accurate interpretation is that humans have an intrinsic nature to lament (or praise) over our insignificant decisions in the past and cite them as what caused change in their lives. It's trying to convey that our choices don't matter, and it doesn't matter what road you take, because you're always going to regret not taking the other one. The consequence of human freedom and choice is inevitable regret. P.S.: And to any postmodernists out there who'll claim there aren't any objective interpretations to art, shove it.

@oli.chatterjee 7 лет назад

Xavy Johnson Tomy hey man why can't you accept that different people have different viewpoints - there's no need to be so aggressive

@qazrockz 7 лет назад

Ha man I exaggerated my dissent for effect. I don't get heated while arguing (generally). However, I stand by my position; postmodernism is largely bollocks. I don't mind listening to opposing views though.

@swopnilkalika7493 7 лет назад

Look's like the Italo Calvino book reminded her of Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Great video btw!

@swopnilkalika7493 7 лет назад

yeah, never mind, she figures it out by the end.

@AnuyaJakatdar 7 лет назад

Swopnil Kalika Hahahhaha.

@smitamishra2313 7 лет назад

@SanaSyed91 6 лет назад

I love books and you guys have a Great show Anuya and Sharin... do put up an episode with Abish or Archana! also... that "not-so-discreet" nudge to anuya by kanan to clap for sharin was :p

@kelsangdolma2564 7 лет назад

you guys deserve more subscribers. even though I am not an avid reader. I can still enjoy the conversation. are you guys on sound cloud?

@smitamishra2313 7 лет назад

Kanan knows so much man. how can a single guy do all these things.😅

@supersaiefull 6 лет назад

you see that whats single guy can accomplish ;)

@AakashMNair 6 лет назад

Watch Rashomon directed by Akira Kurosawa if you like post modern films. And also sopranos HBO series.

@surjamitbhattacharjee1645 3 года назад

Point of philosophy is not self indulgence but precisely understanding the nature of reality. People like Sartre and Simone de beauvoir they are just from a particular school of thought and from particular approach to philosophy called continental philosophy.

@deepanshukumawat2634 7 лет назад

Please do an episode on Sci-Fi as well.

@sinkyprajapati4886 7 лет назад

"Road not taken" is the name of the poem written by Robert frost that you guys are talking about..... kudos to you girls... you both are amazing I love you guys.♥

@khushichadha4563 7 лет назад

Read guts. I am scarred for life. Thank you.

@AnuyaJakatdar 7 лет назад

@yaminikrishnan6350 7 лет назад

@rushikesharavkar1 7 лет назад

Have you guys read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? Do you think it breaks form, too?

@allygator1407 7 лет назад

Awesome video guys! You guys talked about GoT and World War Z for having separate narrative styles and in report forms, and didn't talk about Bram Stoker's Dracula or Sophie's World? How could that happen?

@jun-ir8ef 7 лет назад

loved kanan's - guns'n'roses reference love the vdos btw :) please publish more ( p.s. "water water every where" is rime of the ancient mariner - STC ( havent read the poem but iron maiden wrote a song on it) :)

@bharatvishwakarma5168 7 лет назад

it would be great if you talk about personalities in this domain like Maria Popova.

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

Good suggestion! Let us see what we can do about it :D

@websitemaker2634 7 лет назад

I dont know why I am watching all this ! But I am

@smritisant 7 лет назад

I just read 'Guts' and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Well written but not 'OMG, so gory' as the good people on the BoTcast and the comment section made it out to be. I don't know. Am I the only one who thinks this?

@ShivamSingh-qz3kh 4 года назад

Same

@siddharth8184 4 года назад

Nothing scarier than the fear of being underwhelmed

@ronakgupta3471 7 лет назад

You guys should check out Sleeping Giants. Written in the same style as World War Z

@mahimamaheshwari9781 7 лет назад

Anuya and Sharin, please read the book The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner. I would include it on my list of "Unusual Books"

@apoorva4864 7 лет назад

Oh so that's how Chuck's last name is pronounced. Finally! P.S. Sense is an Ending is one of the most brilliant books. P.P.S You should've covered Sputnik Sweetheart as well.

@Quitenice 7 лет назад

Sidin on this show would be interesting. Would love to see others like Shashi Tharoor, and many other personalities. Do their favourite books rather than genres

@SanaSyed91 6 лет назад

how about a BoTcast on English literature books taught in schools?, particularly icse books like 'merchant of Venice' and Julius Caesar, or great expectations n other classics? even i read it in 6th or 7th standard(Merchant of Venice) and Julius Caesar in 9th and had a fantastic teacher who did justice to it.... but i found both of them pretty awesome largely due to my fantastic teacher mrs menon... Julius Caesar and merchant of Venice added a whole new dimension to my choice of books... maybe because i studied both the latin and its english translation... :)

@yash2363 7 лет назад

Could you recommend something along the lines of "GUTS"?

@MARISALOBO18 6 лет назад

I'm so surprised to see this side of Kanan!!

@kageyamatobio7542 7 лет назад

plz dedicate an episode to all the fandoms of the world

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

I think we'll have to do one fandom at a time :D

@tigerinthetunnel 7 лет назад

Illuminae is also same like annotations.

@Daisycrystal 5 лет назад

I just read guts. Halfway through the story, I was super scared that the guy will somehow end up facing the suction and end up getting his junk suctioned. Although what happened was scary enough, I was a little disappointed but extremely glad that my hunch didn't come true😂

@riyapoddar6757 7 лет назад

the poem is ' The professor"

@sagarpujari3778 6 лет назад

Guys, please reduce audio volume when podcast starts .

@krishna7404 6 лет назад

Hey, I really like Murakami's Kafka On The Shore.I found it really riveting. By the way, thanks for the link, just read Guts- yeah, it's gross and cringey to highest degree, but I would read this sort of fiction again, if available.

@aniketdubey8362 7 лет назад

Some Recommendations - Kenny Sabastian , Daniel Fernandez, Kautuk Shrivastav , Navile Shah , Karan from SNG , Biswapati Sarkar (plzzzz) , G. Khambha Call these people please.

@apala09 3 года назад

No wonder Kanan is so perceptive.

@sreekumarmenon5934 7 лет назад

final destination had a scene of the bum and suction valve...is guts on the same line?

@debas220 7 лет назад

Can we have a discussion on banned books(I am not sure if the discussions are even allowed)

@sravanthid 7 лет назад

Anuya, I read chick lit on the Kindle so that nobody can see and judge. Books which make me look cool are never read on a Kindle. Also gypsy goddess by Meena Kandasamy breaks form in many ways. It actually breaks the wall between the writer and the reader. I didn't complete it but was thoroughly intrigued

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

Ooh this is such an awesome recommendation. Thank you. (And Anuya says SAME.)

@prateekkembhavi3637 7 лет назад

You guys should do a top10 vid occasionally, it would be fun to watch it.... like top 10 books that have horrible movies, top 10 books that scare the crap out of you.... PS: Love your concept of botcast, it's fresh and simple which kinda makes it awesome.

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

Listicles? Yeah, perhaps we should! Thanks for the idea.

@prateekkembhavi3637 7 лет назад

+Books on Toast Do you accept Interns? ;P

@sajnimodi4283 7 лет назад

I read guts and being a medical student i have never felt soo grossed before!! Why would you do that 😑

@sharinbhatti1920 7 лет назад

OMG! Yeah that's the point I suppose

@BooksonToast 7 лет назад

Hahahah but we warned you!

@gopalkrishna9130 7 лет назад

@debopriyadutta3713 7 лет назад

I feel dumb, happy and extremely sad for not having read so much at one go!!..FYI Loved the BoT Cast

@harshada7827 7 лет назад

Earnest request to call Rohan Joshi on the show!! I recently read a book on astrophysics he suggested on Snapchat and would love to hear more about what he's got to say :) Also, Khamba coz he also comes across as someone who's well read :D

@AnuyaJakatdar 7 лет назад

We maayyyyy be doing something towards those things. Stay tuned :D

@harshada7827 7 лет назад

Oh yay!! :D Bless you guys 😇

@nevermind1530 7 лет назад

Actually really enjoyed guts. feel like im the only one

@qazrockz 7 лет назад

Btw BoT, Kanan had mentioned on Facebook that he has an Excel sheet where he jots down a list of books he has read. Would you mind pressing him to post it somewhere (or could you post it for him)? The guy seems to have forgotten all about it.

@sharinbhatti1920 7 лет назад

Will ask him for sure

@AbcDef-px2rs 5 лет назад

Any update on the list?

@taras5534 7 лет назад

Hey guys! Can you do an episode on biographies/autobiographies? I've loved the Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Malala Yousafzai biographies (hahah too predictable, I know!), but I need some good recommendations.

@SanaSyed91 6 лет назад
