Some books I've been reading 

I think we would all rather see you deadlift all the books on your bookshelf than read them

my grade 11 english teacher inspired me to read more books. His passion for books radiated off of him during every class. I feel the same when i watch your videos. i especially appreciate your approach to reading whjch i think is rare on book tube (at least from what i’ve seen). greetings from toronto :)

you look like tom holland bro

Loved hearing about New York review books!! Super interesting and the type of books I really enjoy. Kind of unsure where to start with their books, a video about them would be very cool. Also big fan of Yukio Mishimi and Japanese fiction in general :)

I have 11 books I own and haven't read and I had decided to not buy any new books before I read all I have too

Sometimes great readers become great writers

hey , i really enjoy your videos and you approach towards the hoarding culture ( atleast that's what I call it ) of booktube . I'd appreciate if you could write the names of the books you mention in your videos in your discription . Much love and support 😊

I was just organizing my bookshelves and decided to do the same thing as I realize I've only read about half of them. Sometime I think YT's algorithm is a mind reader! LOL

I can relate to being a slow reader. I average ~32 books a year if I don't have a reading slump. I read classic and postmodern literature so it's usually the type that benefits from slow reading. I guess I could read more books if I picked up genre and contemporary more often but I'm not entirely convinced. I balance out the low number with the fact that I pick up big daunting books on a consistent basis. Knocking those out gives me that game achievement satisfaction that others might get from a big yearly book total. And of course the pleasure from the books themselves is the main motivator.

Your channel is already one of my favorites! Love your approach to "booktube"! I'm going to watch your video now haha.

you've convinced me to read The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea, man!

I’m really curious about Less Than Zero, I watched the movie with Robert Downey Jr. because I heard it inspired the Weeknd song of the same name. I was disappointed but from what I’ve read it wasn’t a very faithful adaptation so I have a lot of hope for the book and think I’ll pick it up sometime. Also, good timing with The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With the Sea because I just read it last week and feel the same way. I read The Sound of Waves this past summer too but am still slowly getting into his work. If you haven’t watched the Paul Schrader film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters then I would highly recommend it, it’s what introduced me to him in the first place and it has an amazing score as well. Edit: saw the other comment about Mishima lol

You’ve been reading Mishima’s work, have you seen the film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters? Would be interested in your thoughts on it!

Less Than Zero is amazing. American Psycho is incredible too, don’t let the movie fool you, it’s way crazier.

oh so good! I found Mishima last year and started with Sailor and was blown away!

Hi, I enjoy the book reviews but I can't understand the acronym you keep repeating starting at 3:30. Keep up the good work.

Heya, huge fan of the channel. I know your a huge movie buff. Do you have any recommendations of books about movies such as a collection of movie reviews?

There's a word for that - tsunduko x
