Hi I’m wondering if you have read 1q84 if so would you be open to sharing your thoughts in a short review? I’d really appreciate it! Thanks a lot

love your videos!

Hey you have a nice voice and the way you present the story is entertaining. You should have more confidence in yourself, i hope your channel grows a lot :)

Hi. Just found your channel, so hello from a fellow book tuber in New Zealand. Subbed. Perfume is a powerful story - especially the end when he's in Grasse. great stuff. Best, Mark

honestly yeah it does have a bit of a "im fourteen and this is deep" kinda feel but what i found worse was the wierd pace? i read it a few months ago so correct me if im wrong but i got the feeling that everything kind of unraveled too suddenly in the sexond half/last third. the repetition and the long sex scenes im not too bothered by tbh it reminded a bit of american psycho but they do come off as a little more shallow. unfortunately i quite like the overall weirdness lol and the juxtaposition between them clearly living in the real, modern world but also doing irrealistic or just bizzarre things. side note i think the rock collecting habit is moreso a form of addiction than it is a funny quirky habit. its like he just switched substance intead of actually getting better- like at some point its anactual problem theire house is overflowing with rocks and only later does he find anything to do with them. what i do like is that while the ending is bleak, he's lost everything, his mom died, his scam uncovered and his sex addiction has actually got worse there's a sense of 'yeah all this happened to me and life is shit at least i belong somewhere. finally.'

Interesting take on the novel. I like that you noticed that there is an element to his writing that has a juvenile quality to it.

Yo I'm so happy for you! It's a big improvement

Much better 🤩🤩🤩

I really like being able to see your face clearly. So much better!

Insane book and that orgy had me so shocked. I was thinking abt it for days after. went into this expecting vicious and grotesque murders but actually found an introspective novel about the struggles of understanding one's self (via smell???). Idk I never really thought about my scent being integral to how I view myself. Ending was such an interesting twist on how to manifest love in a self destructive manner. Liked the French historical context

One of my favourite books and favourite movies too.

❤❤❤

Oh my word. I wish you were in my English class when I was still teaching. Just keep on keeping on!!! The world needs more of you❤❤❤

You rock!!!❤

I love Perfume. I can still smell the fish in the market, where he was born. Under the table, if I remember. I'm subscribing just because you liked it too. Looking forward to hear what you have to say about other stuff. ❤

This was one of my favorite books when I was in high school, but haven’t read it since. Thank you for reminding me 😁 P.S. I found the going-of-topic parts so funny (in the best way)

I found the prose of Perfume too lacking to be believable that it was written in its time period, and and a bit boring dialogue wise as most fantasy/historical novels have a habit of being from the authors disconnected distance from it. Even the description of scents, whether beautiful or ugly, weren't executed as dexterously as i really wanted. Maybe its more flowery in German i dunno, but i wish this concept was written by a more artistically talented writer than Suskind. The interest really came from what happened rather than how it was told. I remember what occurred in the book but I don't remember a single sentence, and maybe there is a sort of contemporary talent in that but to me I was left wanting more than maybe Suskind's ability could provide.

You have so much potential here. Can you work with your lighting? Get a ring light? I think you could be very successful with a little more care....

Well done! I enjoyed reading along as you read. I'm curious as to why you didn't read the last couple lines that are in the description? Either way I really liked your poem. Good on you for sharing it :)

beautiful.. thank you..

Great review! I also enjoyed this beautifully sad book as well. I try to read this book every winter or so and it’s such a magical time! Keep up the great work Andrew!!

Very interesting....I would like to hear your explanation of your poem....sharing poetry is a brave act.....good job....

Hi Andrew, Many thanks! I probably redo the intro vid I did about this book. Your Ulysses review brought me here and I am sub 555 😁 I am still wondering what I should do out of this slight ordeal. I wonder how you manage to read so much or are you posting from a backlog? Best regards

I'm illiterate, sorry

Super insightful review! Do you mind recommending some of your favourite books? Keep up the good work!

so , no matter which corner on earth boys room always look similar

confused about what you said in the beginning about the lighting since this doesn't have a video haha. i love the pale king, not as good as IJ but definitely made me wish he had finished it. loved your review too!

James Joyce went to University College Dublin not Trinity you may be confusing him with Samuel Becket. It's her second book.

Hello @AndrewBrough and dear book lovers! 📖❤ We're thrilled to share our new work, "Chess 2: The Grand Final Rematch," with you. In this sequel, we focus on the breathtaking rematch between Dr. B and the chess champion Czentovic. Our story takes place in the captivating atmosphere of Vienna during the post-World War II era. As McConnor and our narrator witness this legendary match held in the historic Musikverein, the shadows of the past and the traumas of war add depth to our narrative. We aimed to preserve the spirit of Stefan Zweig's unforgettable work while bringing a fresh perspective to the world of chess. Dr. B's mental struggle, Czentovic's cool strategies, and the audience's excitement create a unique tension both on the chessboard and within the characters' inner worlds. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 We also have exciting news to share! Very soon, we'll be publishing sequels to Dostoevsky's "The Gambler" and Ferenc Molnár's "The Paul Street Boys." By approaching these classic works with a modern touch, we aim to bring new life to the literary world. We invite you to our RUclips channel for detailed analyses and discussions about all these works. We hope these new stories excite you as much as they do us!

Hey Andrew! I don't really comment on youtube videos, but something is calling me to do it right now. I tried to private message you through your other platforms but I couldn't find a way to do so, so I might as well just drop my thoughts here: I have been recently devouring the book “Prozac Nation” by Elizabeth Wurtzel and I’ve been so taken with it that I had to scour any corner of the internet I could with more information, interviews, reviews, etc, and that's when I found your video reviewing it. Subsequently through that, I watched a few more of your book reviews, and being a film major felt obligated to then watch your top ten movies video. When you said how much you loved Richard Linklater, especially “Waking Life” which I swear NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT but I’m obsessed with, I was like- wow, this is a really cool dude that I would so be friends with haha. So then as one does with unlimited summer free time and access to the internet, I’ve been making my way through your youtube and patreon videos just because- well, I don't know, other than that your thoughts and interests have just deeply resonated with me. I really have enjoyed the videos of yours where you discuss your thoughts on being a writer. I’m currently taking a semester off of school to do just that- to write plays and film scripts. I’ll spare the full sob story of my personal life, but very generally I’m both fighting the battle of time and the battle of trying to perfect my craft, all the while feeling like I have no one that just “gets it”. Like fully gets it, the art, the intention, the purpose. And a lack of support does not help amongst the already existing clutter of half finished writing endeavors and imposter syndrome, you know what I mean haha? I guess my intention of this message is just to say, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, but I appreciate you putting yourself out there like this, because it’s definitely made me feel less alone and encouraged me, even if in some tiny way, to keep going and pursue my art; whether it be on a very surface level with our interests of reading and film or on a deeper level as someone who wants to create and share their perspective on being a human in this vast world. Like Celine says in Before Sunrise, “the answer must be in the attempt”, so consider this my answer to your attempt to put yourself out there and share your thoughts. It’s appreciated. Not that I expect this to have much effect on you as again, I don't personally know you, but I’m rooting for you. I think you're incredibly intelligent and have a really powerful voice that deserves to be uplifted, and I don't know, you’re just cool, man lol. We all deserve to hear that once in a while. this comment has nothing to do with "Everyman" but it's your most recent vid, so that's why I chose to comment here. I hate being perceived like this/making public youtube comments, but I felt like I needed needed to get this out, so here ya go lol. P.S. I have great movie and stage play recommendations based on your other favorites!

great review brother, keep it up

Long time no see! Was trying to look up ur channel for the past month but couldn't remember your name!

Great analysis of the essay

Bruh... comb your hair before hitting this recording button, have some respect for the viewer smh

It would be nice to watch a book review on Goncharov's "The Precipice" and the Dostoyevsky's "Gambler", too. I like to compare these ideas with the capitalistic and communistic premonitions in the Emil Zola's oeuvre

You look like RIchard Wright's (Pink Floyd) younger doppelganger

I love this book. It's the only Tolstoy i read so far despite Resurrection being his least famous novel.

nice collection

How strange. I was just climbing my library shelf last night looking for haruki murakami books, then this vid shows up on my feed

This is the channel that deserves to get more views ❤❤❤❤❤

I agree about Pevear and Volokhonsky's translations, they just seem too literal. I've tried reading their version of The Idiot a few times and a lot of the wording just felt unnatural and hard to understand. but for the Iliad and Odyssey, look into Emily Wilson's translations! they're a bit more on the free/dynamic side, but they're really readable and enjoyable. also you mentioned trying to get into poetry, I'd be curious to know what you've read so far and what you thought!

Loved your collection Andrew❤ I still have Dharma Bum and yet to read... currently reading Glass bead game..saw your video on that.. really enlightening...pls do share if you have any piece of advice before reading glass bead game... really value ur content!

I love bookshelf tour. Thanks !

I love your videos <3
