Listen, Frankenstein is basically about creating chaos and then regretting your life choices. It's giving major 'oops, I didn't think this through' vibes. Plus, the creature has more feels than half the internet. give it a shot you might actually end up rooting for the monster.
“Villette” is so underrated,, definitely on par with “Jane Eyre” and weirdly nostalgic, like everything feeling like the afternoon,,, what can I say, Charlotte is just the Brontë for me
Frankenstein is actually a very fun read. The monster has more depth than you'd expect him to, based on the Hollywood reinterpretations of the work. Victor Frankenstein is a neurotic box of nerves, who I imagine most people will find amusing. "What makes Frankenstein a classic are its explorations of the effects of loneliness on an individual, the intellect's inability to overcome loneliness, and the mistake of achievement for achievement's sake without any regard for the morality of one's actions. The campy "horror" bits that are in the story are more amusing than anything. Some reading's of Frankenstein assert that Victor might have created the monster due to a possible latent attraction to his own gender, which I think is a fun interpretation of the work that I suspect you'll see evidence for.
@@jonathanmelia Have you read Frankenstein? Victor Frankenstein repeatedly takes great joy in the manly proportions of his creation throughout the novel. Victor constantly perseverates on his creation, with little regard for his betrothed, Elizabeth. On the day of his wedding, all he can think about is his creature, and when Victor enters the bedroom that he is to consummate his marriage in, he finds the creature there instead. The queer themes are not the main focus of the book by any means, but they are difficult for an attentive reader with an open mind to miss.
I wasn't even subscribed, I just came across this person and channel from my recommendations lol. But I love literary fiction, classics, essays, and non-fiction so this seems right up my alley.
"i gotta film, i'm a superstar. i have fans to please, money to make, fame to achieve." -- my new morning mantra. and also ty king for gracing us with your panera bread coffee order and carrot juice ritual. you are INCREDIBlLE can't wait to hear your thoughts on Lolita! eep!
That thin little vintage hardcover Walden! 😍 Confessions is the very first autobiography in history! Pessoa's is a book of aphorisms. They're both hard... Samuel Beckett also chose to write in a foreign language (French), in order to sound more neutral and thus avoid the "style" and "voice" he had acquired in his native English. I never understood why some authors do this, I struggle to find an authentic voice myself!
yessss Lolita !! Such a well written book even though it can be.. hard.. to read at times - there's also a book called Being Lolita by Alisson Wood it's a memoir about her actual childhood experience with her predatory teacher I read it after Lolita and it really shows the complexities of being groomed and the perspective of being the child in an abusive relationship like that.
The narrator of Nabokov's Lolita has a much more entertaining, seductive voice than the narrator of Pnin does. If you do read Lolita, I caution you not to fall for the narrator's attempts to manipulate you into sympathizing with him. The narrator of Lolita will show you what a monster he is, if you pay attention. The narrator spends a lot of time trying to convince you that he knew what Dolores's true thoughts and feelings were, but I would urge any reader to be attentive to the small glimpses in "Lolita" where one can find Dolores's true voice. Nabokov himself described "Lolita" as a moral test. Don't fall for the narrator's deceptions or sophistry.
also, I just bought salem's lot at b&n on thursday!! so far the scariest thing about it was when the cashier rang it up and told me it was $45... *45* dollars... that girl was about to have to drag my corpse to the nearest pet cemetery because that almost took me out
haven’t watched the video yet but i’m wondering if the misspelling in the title is ironic or something. if it’s not, it’s the most unintentionally faux intellectual thing ever and honestly makes it even better
I read another Mary Shelley book called "The last man"; the concept was interesting to me. I love Charlotte Brontë and Shirley Jackson. Both are on my fall tbr!!🎉🎉🎉
Frankenstein is one of my favorite books! I think you owe it to miss Shelley after giving your time to the disgrace that is Dracula. Gotta love reading about a man who plays god and faced the repercussions
What a cool stack of Fall possibilities! I’m interested to see your take on Frankenstein. I did a stand alone video on it -which I don’t do - because it blew my mind. That Mary Shelley……
omg i loved lolita! obviously disturbing but really loved nabokov’s writing. and i’m about to read the book of disquiet as well, i’m looking forward to it :)
Hi Charles! It looks like you’re reading all the books I was forced to read at my small Augustinian catholic college! I had to read the meditations and the confessions. Let’s just say that St. Augustine was destined for the streets…before he turned into a saint…
In your intro you spit straight facts lol. About the pumpkins and the curve curb. I’m excited for the books. I hold Frankenstein close to heart. Thanks for this video.
Yesssss let's gooo Daphne du Maurier and Algernon Blackwood 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Every time I try to read any of the Brontë novels I get so bored, maybe I'll try one of them again
The NYC bookstore that was a champion of Edward Gorey was Gotham Book Mart. As they were closings I grabbed a handful of their bookmarks designed by Gorey. Papers from the store are archived at Penn.
No but I need you to lock tf in on confessions and meditations. st. augustine talks about his life (its tea) and about how he tries to understand the world and the nature of human connection, he talks about human relationships as abyssus abyssum vicat (the abyss calls forth unto the abyss) which was so deeply meaningful and personal to me that I have it tattooed onto my body Mr Aurelius (uh-ray-lee-us) is like,, a stoic is gonna stoic BUT his writing is really beautiful and it is 100% a touch stone for living a difficult life and holding on to peace like please I need you to hear me out at LEAST confessions it is SO interesting
READ FRANKENSTEIN NOW! First of all, it's short! Second of all, it's AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! Just so you know, i literally ordered foreign affairs by Alison Lurie because you mentioned how much you loved it, and I loved it as well! So the least you could do is crack open this lovely classic and enjoy!! and remember, it is like a flower: a story told within a story within a story. Also an 18 year old girl wrote it, and is now basically, the mother of all science fiction! Anyway. I love your channel. You're cheeky and funny and very intellectual without being a snob.
Oh, I wasn’t expecting this! I am Portuguese and my favourite book is The book of disquiet by my favourite author Fernando Pessoa. I love his poetry too. It shaped my teenage brain in a good/fucked up way 🥹 I don’t have words to describe how painfully realistic almost nihilistic that book is. I relate to his thoughts a lot. He was definitely an outsider and loved to live inside his own mind. He gives a voice to things I’ve felt but couldn’t describe. I’m curious to know what you think!! 🤗
You popped up on my YT feed, so I had to take a look. The Pessoa is excellent, as is the NYRB Du Maurier ("The Birds" is quite a bit different from the Hitchcock film). Definitely read REBECCA, great film and underrated novel (her book on Cornwall is also very good). Looks like your Walden is abridged, as most editions are a lot thicker. Thoreau was a bit of a cheat; his cabin was just outside Concord, and he had dinner almost every evening at Emerson's house (I was on a protest march decades ago to Walden Pond, as developers wanted to put up condos and whatnot there). Most philosophy courses read at least a bit of Meditations, and our used book store regularly gets requests for copies, along with Seneca's works. We also recently received a large collection of Augustine's works and studies about his works; he's a seminal writer on Christianity. I've read everything by Roth, and he's a mixed bag - The Human Stain is arguably better than Operation Shylock. Frankenstein is interesting structurally, with stories within stories, and every family unit is broken (no mother, no father, etc.). Gaitskill, who knows - she sits on our shelves unloved, whereas we can't keep anything by Nabokov for more than a week. If you're interested in sci-fi/horror/fantasy, try John Wyndham (Day of the Triffids, The Trouble With Lichen, Chocky, The Midwitch Cuckoos, etc.).
Walden and The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are both on my top ten philosophical books of all time. Any serious reader should make them one of his own and reread them regularly.
I'm looking for more monster horror for Fall. Thanks for these recs. I'm starting to enjoy reading Jane Eyre for the first time. Its aslow burn for sure but That first twist was so unexpected and I'm excited to see how it ends. I hope you enjoy Frankenstein (my favorite book of all time). I hope to read Rebecca next.
I am currently reading "The Tenant of the Wildfell Hall" It is a masterpiece I must say. Highly recommend the ladies to read it and fall is the best time to read that. This book is so horribly underrated.
@ The quality of the stories is uneven. The best/most bizarre/spookiest, in my opinion, are: The Swords, The Same Dog, The Hospice, Niemandswasser. Read those first. Hope you review the book.
Oooooh... such beautiful 📚/titles to add to my TBR list!?!?! This video makes me smile from ear to ear 😁!!!!! I absolutely have to begin collecting Edward Gorey's books- any particular favorites of yours that you recommend I buy first?! Also, 'Salem's Lot is my favorite Stephen King book, as well as my favorite horror novel- I hope you enjoy it!!! The long awaited movie is finally coming in October, though I HIGHLY recommend you watch the 1979 miniseries directed by Tobe Hooper- creepy as all get out and a favorite of mine!!!! You be sure to have a grand Sat./Sun.: Be healthy, be well, laugh, smile, live it up and I'll see/hear from you next time, fantabulous Mr. Charles!!!!! 🎉🍂🎃
@@cs0p okay honestly it’s like not even very supernatural. like yes of course it’s a haunting but the way it’s written? the way the inner monologues change the longer they’re in the house?? holy shit (the Netflix show is really only the same name and character names but also not so much about ghosts, much more about grief and family)
i’ve picked up silence of the lambs literally three separate times and have gotten about 50-75 pages further each time, but no more than 2/3 of the way through it. BUT! it’s honestly because the movie is such a close adaptation that every time i the thriller starts thrilling, i remember that i could watch the movie and get the whole story again instead of sitting through more hours of reading 😅 so i think it’s great but i guess i’ve always been in a lazy mood when i put it down.
also as a classics student i would say marcus aurelius (or-EEL-eeh-us) is probably the most accessible of the ancient philosophers, very easy to read little bits and pieces of it since it was basically his diary during his life as emperor
i'm reading walden right now, and god does this man yap (i'm like a third way through the book). i did like his civil disobedience though, it's also shorter. meditations was quite chill. also, highly recommend reading lolita as a horror.
It definitely isn't necessary to read Red Dragon before The Silence of the Lambs, but in my opinion, it is the strongest of the Hannibal tetralogy. It gives you an appreciation for the sort of situation Clarice is walking into, as she is following in the steps of Will Graham, the protagonist of Red Dragon.
I do not know if the misspelling of faux was intentional but I hope it was because anyone that unironically calls themself an “intellectual” is my enemy, and an enemy of my enemy is my enemy. Or friend. Whatever
i didn’t even get the notification i just spawned here

justice for frankie (2)
my favorite classic
sht ok ill read it
The real monster is Dr. Frankenstein.
You’re the only RUclips whose intros i don’t skip bc i never know what’s going to come out of your mouth
I know!!! I can’t stand those normal long winded intros.
The crush I have on this man is beyond words.
a brunette man who can read is all I ask for. is that too much?
Wait…Mine isn’t even crush, it’s something very dangerous near obsession.
D1 Glazing
can we go to a pumpkin patch together and debate the nuance of faux versus foe?
Hea, hear! Or in the spirit of the title, I guess "here, here" would be app pray poe two.
I stopped by for the books and stayed for the quirky, randomness
“Villette” is so underrated,, definitely on par with “Jane Eyre” and weirdly nostalgic, like everything feeling like the afternoon,,, what can I say, Charlotte is just the Brontë for me
Me too!!
Reading "Shirley" and planning a read-along video where I read a passage from it!
I loved Villette too!!❤
Agreed...
A carrot juice a day keeps the monocle away

I think a “queer” reading of FRANKENSTEIN makes about as much sense as a “vegetarian” reading of Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM.

Frankenstein is SOO much better than I thought, its incredibly surprising.
Excited to hear what you think of The Tennant of Wildfell Hall - it's my favourite Bronte book. 😊
👀it has priority
I read another Mary Shelley book called "The last man"; the concept was interesting to me.

oo o o ok this fall it shall be read
Tenant of Wildfell Hall is in my opinion the best of the Bronte sisters work and Anne is criminally overlooked, great choice for fall :))
i feel like i might agree with you once i read it
I’m convinced you’ll love Frankenstein
balls dont hype it up too much

The NYC bookstore that was a champion of Edward Gorey was Gotham Book Mart. As they were closings I grabbed a handful of their bookmarks designed by Gorey. Papers from the store are archived at Penn.

I had to watch 3 ads to watch this video, I'm just glad it was worth it.
good. i need to earn that coin.
