Have you or will ever do a video on how you keep track of what you read? In a journal? On computer? In a notebook. I am in my 70s and an avid reader since childhood and I so enjoy watching your enthusiasm and intelligence with your love of books. It keeps me happy. You and your friend and her cat of course, are just lovely. From Tasmania.

@arieska.meurer Год назад

I love it when you and Emmie are together! I like watching the videos on the same subject from both channels so I can see both points of view! 🥰

Love the scene where you are both sitting and reading outside on the couch, and Emma's outfit perfectly matches the chess book cover, down to the socks. 😆

@iammehowru Год назад

Im so glad my algorithm is finally feeling me bookish content outside of the big 5 accounts. What a blessing to find yours and emmies accounts!

@buddenbrooks Год назад

Never let me go is one of my all time favourites! Edited to add: I think I had a similar reaction to you, NLMG hit me harder but TROTD was just quietly devastating

@BibBubDude Год назад

Wow, I was reading ‘The Remains of the Day’ too, but then nursing school started kicking my butt and I had to stop. I was about 40% through, very slow paced book. Definitely going to come back to it during winter break. Definitely seems like a cozy winter read.

@ludovicacastracane4975 Год назад

The cuttest book keepers ever sawn. I will start the Golden Notebook from Doris Lessing thanks to you! -)

Wow. I haven't watched a video from Emmie before (will fix that) and didn't know you were in Canada but definitely had a moment of 'that looks like Lake Ontario' when you showed the park. I hope you enjoyed Toronto.

What a fantastic day of reading and friendship! I just read "The Ice Palace" and LOVED it!!

@rustlingtrees8987 Год назад

I love watching the same content on both channels! I've been watching Emma's videos for a while and hers were the only bookish videos I watched in English, but I guess that is about to change now :) Btw, "Zweig" is pronounced with more "t" at the beginning (Tsweig, not Sweig), but the rest was perfect. I reread chess this year (actually listened to it) and it is so good. I first read this almost 15 years ago and I still remembered it well.

@antidelusionalpeeps Год назад

I started Never Let Me Go but found it slow and dull so I put it aside. Hearing you talk passionately about it makes me want to pick it back up and read it with a fresher perspective. I relate to what Emma said about the book but the way you talk about your interpretation of it makes me realize I probably missed the point. I hope I will like it better this time around!

@__rishikasingh Год назад

I love to watch you guyss doing readathon !! Its my favourite video !!! ❤❤❤❤

@__loveball Год назад

you are both glowing :-) im very eager to read more Ishiguro after finishing Never Let Me Go. I think it was a uniquely crafted novel, even though I didn't enjoy the narrator's voice and I understand the criticisms. It's one of the books I don't get tired of talking about though, and that means a lot to me. looking forward to more videos of you two, hope you get the opportunity to meet as frequently as you want 💜

@dianaayt Год назад

I also started reading manga for the first time after watching netflix's live adaptation of one piece! It really helped to already know the basics of the story, I feel like that made it so much easier to keep going and not being overwhelmed with the new format and also story. But now in over a week and half I've read over 140 chapters (17 volumes) and now it makes me feel weird reading it left to right haha Its something to get used to! There are these mangas that so many people say they are some of the best stories ever written, it's kinda sad I wasn't going to give them a shot because of their format. And I'm glad I'm already started with one of those and I can already tell it will be one of the best stories ever

@magda_mf Год назад

I've actually only just finished reading the Ice Palace! I started reading it on a cold rainy day and I think that this enhanced the atmosphere of the book a lot and I enjoyed it so much 😁 I can totally see why you dnf'd it though! I also read Never let me go quite recently and share Emma's thoughts on it, sorry 🙈

@AmalijaKomar Год назад

Love Ishiguro and read almost every books he wrote. Also love Vessos and winter atmosphere in Ice Pallas. His most important book is Byrds.

I didn't know which translation to get so I got both - the one volume verse translation from Arndt (sp?) and the 4 volume prose translation from Nabokov. So, looking forward to reading with you this Winter.

@MartinDSmith Год назад

I loved Jhumpa Lahiri's book Whereabouts:ostensibly simple episodes but existentially profound observations on the experience of being human.

@rachelparry4614 Год назад

Never Let Me Go….I recommended that to my book club last year after watching Carolyn gush about it. I have similar taste to her and I did like it, but probably not as much as she did. No one else in book club liked it. I watched the movie recently and really enjoyed the movie. I’ve only read one other Ishiguro, and loved it - Klara and the Sun.

Hey Carolyn! I‘ve recently read „Either/Or“ by Elif Batuman, which is the second part of a series, and am now reading the first part called „The Idiot“. Have you checked out the authors work? Because since its a lot about literature, I think you could enjoy it! Batuman also has a book named „The Possessed“ where she writes about classics and their authors, apparently mostly russian ones. Love your videos!

@bobthecat-rh5dy Год назад

I’ve read NLMG and TROTD by Ishiguro and my reaction to these two books is exactly the same as yours: was deeply moved by NLMG, gave it 5 stars and 4 stars to TROTD. Ishiguro is such a marvelous writer! And I just started reading Klara and the sun. Now, about Zweig! (Pronounced ts-v-eye-g). Another top notch writer! I haven’t read Chess story yet, but I have read Beware of Pity - this book is a MUST READ, do you hear me? It’s a must read!!! I am sure you’ll be knocked out by it as I was, since it seems we have a similar taste. Not sure Emma would like it, her taste is a bit strange to me. I do like to watch her vlogs as well, but I’ve been a bit disappointed in her book ratings lately. She’s nice though, and it’s wonderful seeing you two getting on so well! ❤

@jimcuster3677 Год назад

I'm glad you enjoyed The Remains of the Day. My wife Sharon and I read it a couple of years ago and it instantly became my favorite book. I've read three more Ishiguro novels since then (including Never Let Me Go) and have enjoyed them all. Chess was a great story also.

@danielleg9834 Год назад

I kind of had a similar reaction to Emma when I read Never Let Me Go. I think I had just wanted more to the ending and more of an explanation and more background maybe? It’s been a while since I read it but I also gave it 3 stars.

@disakland4714 Год назад

Have read it. It’s probably my favorite book of all time. Or at least very very high up. It’s not the absolutely best book I have read though. It’s just that the themes of Never Let Me Go always get me and I keep thinking of it weeks after reading it. I have read it I think four times now, maybe five.

@ReligionOfSacrifice Год назад

I read "Never Let Me Go" and I wasn't impressed with it and the movie was okay. I tried to read "Chess" but ended up skimming it and thinking it wasn't worth it. I loved Chess as a kid and would recommend "Fresh" which is a movie about Chess or "Searching for Bobby Fisher." I loved the movie "The Remains of the Day" but I did not like the book. I think maybe the author is better for the movie than the books he writes.

@ReligionOfSacrifice Год назад

I don't mind Emmie changing how Carolyn holds the manga book, but I don't like how she looks at her friend's choices of books. I'd have been happy to have any friend be a reader of any books. I never had a friend who reads.

“Even If This Love Disappears Tonight” by Misaki Ichijo really did make me think of the first girl I loved and held her hand at 14 years old. Three girls and I did a race swimming and a kid went down a slide and his butt hit her head so hard she forgot she was in love with me on the day she fell in love with me and thus ended my first love story. WELL THE AMAZING HAPPENED THIS YEAR. One third of all my favorite top 39 books were read in 2023 thanks to the month of October having my favorite book of all time by Fyodor Dostoevsky and finally a Japanese author Misaki Ichijo made my top books list.

Michener 4) “Poland” by James A. Michener 5) “Even If This Love Disappears Tonight” by Misaki Ichijo 6) "Childhood, Boyhood" by Leo Tolstoy 7) “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” by Anne Brontë 8) “Teacher Man” by Frank McCourt 9) “The Complete Poems of Anne Bronte” by Anne Brontë 10) “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair 11) "Caribbean" by James A.

I actually read never let me go when i was 14 or 15, when no one was really talking about it. Wasn't my favorite ishiguro and didn't enjoy it as much. Fast forward to now and i see so many people reading it! I reread it to see if i got it wrong. Still isn't my favorite but I definitely appreciate it more, especially about how you discuss it as well 😊 the movie is exquisite tho 🤌
