So im going to read it now

This is one of my favorite books, I’ve read it at least 5-6 times and it never gets old. I think I’m on my 4th copy now because I keep giving them away 🥰

Clarice is giant

My students just finished The Hurting Kind. The majority dug/digged it. A pleasure to see your face, Caroline, when scrolling through looking for videos of Gary Snyder!

I really wanted to see Bene Gesserit lose! Their breeding programme and something about the way they resent love really gets in my nerves. The Bene Gesseits have no moral right to call the Honored Matres whores. Anyways, I still really enjoyed this book. Thank you for the summary, helped me piece together a couple of things that weren't clear in the first reading.

Just read this book for the first time. Great analysis!!

Ha ha, big worm man funny (I freaking love this book.)

You've done an amazing job of explaining that book. The best I've heard ever!! Bravo!!!

I find that commentators I’ve listened to so far tend to not discuss how Lydgate was the author of his own demise in many ways. In a big ways. There’s that scene at the beginning where he’s involved with the French dancing girl which was disastrous, and let’s remember he himself fell into debt and made his own choices. in the end he -compromised his own in just about every way including working for rich people and giving up his scientific research. Yes, Rosamund was not a good match for him personally, but he did make her believe they were going to have a very different life and she was disillusioned. I think that’s fair. Remember at the beginning of their marriage and even in their engagement He was spending freely and in many ways he lacked sense. Yes, by all means Dorothea would have been the perfect wife for him, and what a great team they would’ve been - going out there and changing the world together. BUT She had her strong views, and he had his weakness for pretty women. Alas!

I won’t live long enough to hear your AK interpretations when you are 55, but I’m certain you will have evolved further, and your outlook will change.

Grrrr8 job,,,,,,, u were amazin,,,,

I genuinely disliked this book. Thank you for this review, I gave up on it and you confirmed that I was good not to waste my time. You are a good reviewer! Books like this show me that anyone can get published. It’s very cheap writing and I find the problems very small, it’s just a story of middle class people wading through inconsequential life. It is like reading about Sims.

Anna Karenina is training.

This is the best video I have come across in a while. I was a little scattered and confused after reading the book. But you have so beautifully articulated every single point. I now feel at peace. Thank you ❤

It’s such a wonderful novel. It’s my go - to to introduce people to Victorian fiction.

Please may you tell me if it has any kisses or 18+ parts because I’m sensitive to such things ; I would read it if it has none!

You should watch the "Spice Diver Fan Edit" of Dune (1984). It is on RUclips. The Lynch version is too short.

Eileen was so gross in her personal time 😂, but she did do the right thing at the end.

I'm so thankful that we got a pretty faithful film adaptation of it. If anything, I wish the movie was longer so we could have seen more scenes from the novel

A non Northern Irish person reading up on our culture is a green flag

great video!

Congrats on hitting 1k!

Great description of the contents and contexts connected to this book! Your discussion was very detailed and knowledgeable - you've done the book justice and convinced me why I should put this title on my list of books to read.

Very nice.

Thanks for the interview link. I'm about to read this novel . . . For the 2nd time!

Every one of Limón 's collections is just as brilliant! I'm obsessed with her. You should read her latest collection, The Hurting Kind. It's absolutely breathtaking 🥹

Great review

I love this video. Your discussion points helped me digest the book. I wish videos like this happened more on booktube - tackling themes, reading valuable passages, really diving into the writing style. So so good.

I kind of gambled on this series because I bought the whole trilogy at once without fully trusting the hype back when the movies were running and I didn't watch them. Jackpot! I was as involved in her story and character as I was in some of my childhood favourites and the books barely lasted a week if I remember correctly. Also, the movies turned out to be nice too. Funnily, I too recently thought about re-reading the series but for now I think I'll enjoy your commentary instead :)

Mi favorito

thank you, your channel is pure quality content

I remember reading this in college and finding it so confusing. I later read The Eye, Nabakovs novela and become hooked on his style. Pale Fire is the most entertaining Nabakov for me. In Pale Fire we get a fictional foreword and commentary (Kinbote), and the autobiographical poem itself (which can very much be read all on its own) We also get the implied story about the relationship between the poet, and the commentator/publisher Kinbot's attempt at hijacking the novel with his own story and musings is too much, from the start. It's also cool that Nabakov can write an 999 line poem that's merely a jumping off point for the bigger story about its writer and publisher Then there's themes gosh, where do we begin... There's so much jam packed into this book, and it aint even that long. Overall super fun

In the prelude Elliott talks about Saint Theresa and her brother seeking martyrdom in the land of the Moors. Westerners don't change even as we speak that western colonial state Israel is seeking not so much martyrdom but to enact justice on these non white infidels and savages for responding to their violence against them and stealing their land more than seven decades ago. PS Dorothea resembles many white saviour women going to the global south to civilise the savages to this very day. But they are wolves in sheeps clothing no different from their white men folk exploiting and dehumanizing the local population. Did the Americans really go into Afghanistan to free Afghan women ! White women are a curse to the women of the global south. The sooner they realise this then only then will they and all their people be on the real path to freedom.

I am very motivated becoming an Emma Cline reader after this great video. I like the way the tension between insiders and outsiders being portrayed. It looks like in our world, the new cast system is accepted by the majority and it is safe for everyone to remain where they are. The ones who attempt to move up are outcasts who will always live under the stress of being identified. I also felt like she is very regretful about the life she has chosen and targets she has put forward. This anxiety sounded very much of a religious subconscious living in each individual even if we think we are ultra secular.

Burrows into my heart every time

You have a really great way of organising your thoughts and explaining points clearly, I really enjoyed listening to this while i work! This is my favourite Austen work too and you really can feel how all of the books that came before were leading to this one. Anne is the most relatable protagonist imo bc she is so balanced - she is not uber shy and retiring but not loud and out there either. She's just a normal person. The older i get, the more i love her

great video & spot on discussion points!! Came here directly after finishing because the ending had me at a loss for words - also love your point about how valuable it is to be a more empathetic reader!

Gorgeous❤❤❤

Would love to hear your thoughts on Frankenstein

I haven’t watched this yet but I’ve just started Eileen so I’ll come back once I’ve finished

Me encantó tu reseña, sobre todo por el equilibrio entre conocimiento literario y sensibilidad en tu lectura.

@17:40 "The all knowing God character is not really an interesting one , in it of himself. You don't want to be in Leto's head" hahahaha, I am so looking forward to watching your God Emperor of Dune review

My Year of Rest and Relaxation is the most wonderfully horrific book with the most unlikable characters and I found it so cleansing and cathartic to read. 😂

Hello Caroline, I just saw your RUclips. Love your analysis! You still around?

İyi okumalar

what edition is this cover please? I would like to get it

Unfortunately in the edition I read there was a foreword (a real foreword note the one that is part of the book), that should have been a afterword, that was already telling that Kinbote was crazy. So one part of the fun of reading and starting to doubt Kinbote was never there for me. But I found him funny more that once. His total blindness to what could interest a reader of the comment of the poem is art by itself.
