I usually do a reread of a favorite as a palate cleanser. Great video! I’m very happy to have discovered your channel.

I love the Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon Spice tea. It's my favorite fall/winter tea. I love Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. I don't know which is my favorite

Graham Greene's, The End of the Affair is a great read. Thanks for sharing your reading journey.

Great update as always, thanks Ren. I'm about halfway through War and Peace. It's quite a page turner, but there are just so many pages!

Chai does mean tea so you just said a tea tea latte lol 😆❤.

The library request mood and the book reading mood can be miles apart! I'm intrigued by the Saunders book.

I love that Saunders book - almost as much as Lincoln in the Bardo!

Thanks for the mention, Renee! Chekhovember is the event and we're reading two plays and three stories by Anton Chekhov, so its not a huge amount of reading. Ive not read the Saunders book yet but I suspect his title comes from an incident in the story "Gooseberries". Enjoy your trip and make sure you get plenty of yarn.

loved your impressions on the Saunders! it's one i'm always reminded to pick up and need to do so! i miss the classroom/learning environment! 😭

Vivienne is in my holds - I have been anxious to get to it! Sadly I don't think I'm getting it any time soon - I was hoping to have it for our upcoming trip to Hong Kong but I think I will have to find something else to fill my long haul flight with!

It's Victober, so I'm reading a few Victorian novels - I read 'An Ideal Husband' for the first time, I've seen it before, but it's interesting to read the stage directions and see what directors chose to leave out.

Hearing you speak of Woolf’s work reminded me of The Hours by Michael Cunningham. I cannot recall if you have read it or not but I highly recommend it!

Loved the video! I recently saw a movie adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover and now, after hearing you talk about the book, I am eager to pick it up! Also, Woolf is exceptional, I need to read more of her work asap.

Woolf is so phenomenal - there's always so much life crammed into her works. Idk if you've already talked about it on here but reading "Orlando" for the first time is similarly unforgettable

so glad to hear you continued to enjoy the hypocrite and to the lighthouse!! i definitely didn’t get as into mrs. dalloway when i read it a few years ago but i LOVED orlando. so cool to hear about your hiking experiences as well!!

First of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your coffee table. It's beautiful. (Just had to say that while I'm listening to your video)! I haven't read Mrs Dalloway yet but looking forward to reading this. I adored To the Lighthouse and how she wrote that so more of this writing would be fantastic. I'm currently reading one which is called Leonard and Hungry Paul. Have you read this? I think you may like it. As for Olga Tocarzuk, I liked her writing too! Happy reading :-) and thank you once again.

ive been dying to read drive your plow...if i dont get to mrs dalloway by january i have failed, you really sold it. and ive always thought lady chatt would be awful but it sounds like im wrong

I fell in love with Olga Tokarczuk with Drive Your Plow this year! Excited to pick up her new release at some point, and I look forward to your review of it!

you've sold me on DH Lawrence! been meaning to get to him, but was always afraid he might be too classic for me, but Lady Chatterly's Lover sounds quite modern!

I’m not sure I would describe Septimus as awful - the poor guy is a shell-shocked war victim and Woolf’s writing about mental health is amazing for the time.

That was me recommending Sebastian Smee in my recent video, he is a superb art reviewer and writer. Hope you like him too.

Oh, Drive Your Plow was wonderful. And yes I 100% have the best memories of the main character haha. I've been meaning to read more Tokarczuk. I'm saving The Empusium for after I've read The Magic Mountain, since I hear you get more out of it that way and I'm in no rush. I'll probably go for Flights next.

Hi Rennee 🤗 "Woman in White" I've read in August month!! great book! enjoyed Wilkie's writing, his english is simpler than Dicken's. most common word used is 'letter', those days communication medium. Happy reading!

The fall of Paris is so interesting and I think few Americans really think about it. I'm off to Santa Fe soon for some hiking and galleries, and I have War and Peace under my arm. Quite the brick but interesting so far.

Im doing Anthony Trollope also and read Frankenstein last year - moving onto Henry James this fall.

Woolf is so much more than Elizabeth Taylor - looking forward to re-reading Mrs Dalloway - been a long time. Right now doing some Booker wins, “the Bee Sting” - and others - no interest in Lady Chatterley’s Lover -Im of the age that feels - if you want sex, (and I had a wonderful marriage) go in the bedroom and close the door, I don’😅t need to watch you, so a book like Chatterley is the bedroom door open, Im not interested, too many wonderful books I havent gotten to yet, - redoing a lot of the classics 😊

Woolf's techniques that you describe are referred to as time and space montage: stopping time and moving in space or stopping space and moving in time. When Mrs. Dalloway is out that first morning, everyone is looking at the plane flying overhead, which is what allows Woolf to shift to different characters having the same observational experience. While Katherine Mansfield was the first to use them, Woolf perfected these techniques, I think, more than any other writer of the period.

I haven't read 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' since I was a teenager, can't say I particularly enjoyed it. DH Lawrence's poetry's interesting. Maybe I should give another of his novels a go.

Some interesting books mentioned. Food for thought. The ever expanding tbr! Happy reading to you.

Oh! The Dorothy Project is fabulous, thanks for pointing me towards it. I’m enjoying your videos a lot. Eleanor x

you read such diverse books that I have never even come close to finding. How exciting: Thanks.

So sorry because this sound som critic albeit It may bt he sound of the times. IT was the word demented .Still commonly used but were hope that dementia of kognigiv inpairment takes over. Its always nice to hear what you are reading. Its cool that our att poetry.

My mom introduced me to The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers when I was in my early 20's. I've loved McCullers ever since. I think I've read them all. Also, really love Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse and Room of Ones' Own. Have you read The Hours? If you do a read-a-long for Orlando, I would love to join you.I've always wanted to read that one but haven't yet. I'm also an avid and enthusiastic knitter and happy to see you're enjoying knitting as well.

I totally loved your descriptions of Boulder. I lived on Mapleton Ave for three very special years. We spent so much time in those beautiful mountains although I was always afraid of the wildlife on hikes. I worked at The Dairy Center for the Arts. At the time, The Naropa Center offered some classes in our facility and so I met their staff and learned a lot about their organization and history. Anne Waldman is incredible. Is the Beat Bookstore still on East Pearl St? Sounds like you had a great time out there. Presently, I'm reading "The Slip" by Prudence Peiffer about Coenties Slip at the southern tip of Manhattan, where several important artists had lofts between 1956 and 1967 (E Kelly, J Rosenquist, J Youngerman, A Martin, R Indiana, etc.) I'm totally digging it but I really love the setting, subject matter and NF genre. marjorieapple.substack.com

I'm a little slow with some of the Beat poets, apart from Gary Synder (whom I adore), I find some of the others a little too extravagantly grungy, anyway...

loving the cover for Overstaying! so odd! haha

McCullers' Thr Heart Is A Lonely Hunter is one if my all time faves ❤

Loved hearing your thoughts on To The Lighthouse. I can never decide which is my favorite Woolf, it or Mrs D.

I love Dorothy! I want to collect everything from them, so I'll definitely be picking up their new books this fall. And I'll be starting my first Renee Gladman soon too! Can't wait! I have only ever hiked one 14er - I think it was Quandary Peak? What an experience!!! Coming down was way scarier than going up!

I've really been wondering about The Hypocrite so I'm glad you talked about it. Oh, it's been years since I read Member of the Wedding; I need to reread that. Great round up!

love hearing you talk about to the lighthouse!! maybe that’s one i’ll take my time with this fall. becoming a yoga instructor sounds so exciting, i love that for you!!

I'm reading a book about how slave narratives influenced Victorian fiction, mentioned by Hannah here on RUclips, it's become a project as some of the works mentioned I haven't read. Some of the arguments the author makes are very compelling particularly comparing the description Jane Eyre's seascape painting with the Turner painting of the Zong disaster.

❤📚❤️ Thank you for the recommendations. I hadn't heard of any of these. I covered Shorty September and Spinster September with the book Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy.

I love Virginia Woolf so much. I'm excited for you to read A Room of One's Own.

Love all of your recommendations, many I didn't know of. I love The Awakening too. Passing by Nella Larsen is a great short one, and A Spy in the House of Love by Anais Nin is another I read this year and loved.

All of your health plans sound so exciting, particularly the yoga instructor journey!! I’ve done most forms of exercise, and really want to incorporate more yoga now that I’m 40 and have mainly done high intensity stuff. My body is a little worn out 😂I’ve been intending to try Yoga With Adrienne on RUclips, one of these days. Thanks for the update! Here in West Virginia my days are spent carting my high schooler to and fro, and my 8th grader to volleyball 😊Have a great rest of the week!

Haven't read any of these yet, although Bluets and The Awakening are definitely on my radar! My favourite short book is probably Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man, which I just read for the first time earlier this year. Wow. I don't think I've ever read another book that's so full of life and thrumming with energy. I saw a stage adaptation a few years back, which captured some of the poignancy, but the book is something else.

francisco and member of the wedding have been on my list for so long!! i’ve been meaning to make a similar video but i know i’m gonna have a hard time choosing books because i read so many shorties 😭

❤ Thank you so much lovely lady...for recommending and remembering my little book Francisco...still writing..much love and joy to you

Don't overlook Therese R! It's staggering. A masterpiece.
