Accordion Crimes by Annie Proulx Book Discussion
Maybe controversial but I'm currently reading it and I don't know if I'll finish. Personally I think the story is fine but for what it is, it's very long and I get the feeling that Clarke was like, afraid of writing too little so she wrote too much
Getting new books is always exciting!!!❤
I haven’t read any Brands yet, but I imagine he’s quite stylishly composed on the page. His talks are delightful
He most certainly is! I just started “Dreams of El Dorado” yesterday and I have really been enjoying it so far.
Wonderful book haul, Micah. I hope you enjoy these new treasures. 😊
Thank you, Pat! ☺️
A nice haul indeed. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some H.W. Brands books on my next book hunt.
Thanks! Wishing you luck on your search!
Yeah, Micah. H.W. Brandsis one of my favorites also . Interestly,, I haven't read one of the books you listed. However, Traitor to his Class has been on my reading list for some time. I'll be interested in your thoughts on it. I've read several books on FDR. Always has been one of my favorite Presidents. BTW, Brands just recently a new book called " America First" its about the political battle between FDR and Charles Lindbergh over whether America should get involved in WWII.
Oh , it is you buying my shopping cart books at Thrift afterwall .... -_-
Uh oh… sorry about that. 🫣
Congrats!!!
Thank you!
Brands is such an interesting writer. He picks interesting subjects, doesn’t he? I attended a talk he gave at a local History Center fundraiser in York PA of all places. 🥰.
Good update
Much appreciated!
Wow, so the book is fairly different than the movie. Almost sounds like the movie is much better since the other characters are more prominent also his dad even tho he isn’t on screen all that much. Love the movie.
I'd like to read about westward expansion at some point.
I’m hopeful that “Dreams of El Dorado” will cover that element as I want to read up on it as well!
You can’t go wrong with a book haul!
Thanks, Sarah! I completely agree. :)
Todd here. Nice video Micah! I've picked up a couple books on the american west this year from one of my local used bookstores. I also want to see this new western saga movie by Kevin Costner titled Horizon. Have you hear about it? I saw a couple history titles I was interested in at Barnes & Noble. A new book by Dan Jones on Henry V and a book on the American Revolution titled Liberty is Sweet. I hope you have a nice Autumn!
Great collection of books Micah, hope you enjoy them. Your videos are always so motivational to get up and read.
I've only read Dreams of El Dorado: A History of the American West by Brands. I found his writing to be very accessible so I would definitely read more by him. I think you'll like this book.
That’s a great book haul! I haven’t read anything by H W Brands yet, but this convinced me to look into it. If you had to recommend just one of his books, which would it be? Happy reading!
Your enthusiasm is off the charts! Enjoy reading all your great books and happy autumn!
Thank you! I’m definitely excited about this batch! Happy autumn to you!
Thank you very much, you have been captivating and very interesting!!
I appreciate that, thank you!
Eu amo seus vídeos ❤
Thank you!
guys just read book called manifestation hacks by olivia cooper and you'll never need to watch these videos again
Hi Micah. I’m glad to know about that non fiction. The Dust Bowl is a very sad and fascinating part of our history. I was blown away by the Ken Burns series on the subject.
How do you decide on whether to get the physical book or the ebook? I can imagine that sometimes it's availability. Sometimes it's cost. Sometimes you want the ebook for convenience while traveling.
Try, "Out of the Dust" by Karen Hesse. Wow! "Hold Autumn In Your Hand" by George Session Perry was memorable as well. And, "Stoner" by John Williams - amazing!
Thank you for the recommendations!
Great video!! I really enjoyed it❤
Thank you!
Good to see you. I'm a little bit worried about whether reading The Worst Hard Time would contribute to depression, but I do want to read it at some point.
James Stokesbury wrote a series of very good, very readable, military histories--A Short History of the First World War, A Short History of the Second World War, A Short History of the Civil War--I think he did Korea, too.
Nice update MIcah!
Thanks, Todd!
Nice to see you!
Thanks, Stan!
It hit me as you were talking that (despite being a million years older than you) I also know next to nothing about the Dust Bowl time period. Wow.
I;ve read Worst Hard Time, and didn't enjoy it at all. The book was well written, but didn't enjoy the subject matter.
ı love ur book and you :)
Thank you!
Ken Burns has a really interesting documentary on the Dust Bowl. Highly recommended.
I’ll definitely add that to my watch list. Thanks for the recommendation!
But how do you know you'll even LIKE "The Grapes of Wrath"? Hee -
Haha! Well I have a gut feeling… that and I’ve read it twice already…
The Worst Hard Time sounds intriguing, like you most of my knowledge of the Dust Bowl was from The Grapes of Wrath.
I have 10th gen and I cannot find that option anywhere. :(
Thank you for making this 👏🏻
You’re welcome!
Anna Karenina is one of my favorite books. So incredible!❤ I definitely will listen to The Night Watchman.
I just discovered your channel and I love how laid back and down-to-earth you are! Also - these all sound like interesting reads, typically not some stuff I would go for but I can always challenge myself to branch out :)
Nice haul!
Thanks!
Thanks for another great book commentary. Like you, I am a fan of Kent Haruf's Plainsong novels. I appreciated the recommendation of the Spragg novel. Since you enjoyed Empire Falls I would recommend you seek out Straight Man, Russo's campus cpmedy.
Ah, I hadn’t thought about Empire Falls for a long time. I’m glad to hear about this one! The Uglow book sounds fascinating!
Great reads and suggestions! Happy reading!
Just realised that I've seen the film An Unfinished Life and I do recomend it. Great actors!!
Micah, I tagged you to do The Booktube About Me Tag created by Harriet Rosie if you are interested. It's airing on Friday.
Thank you, Jess! I appreciate that! I’m looking forward to seeing that.
