“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.” -The Journals of Sylvia Plath ✨
🥲I went home to Scotland for Christmas for the first time in 8 years so it was nice to hear you reflecting on some similar things. I’ve been sitting on Essays One for like 3 years for some reason so you’ve convinced me to stop fannying about and buy it thank you! I just read her translation of Madame Bovary and it was absolutely lush. Also, Nate, you are an actual vlogger.
home and found home will be a constant question for me! i hope one of us finds the answer or some shape of answer in however way we live through this. need to get to Madame Bovary! been meaning to do it for ages now 🤧
Skylight is THE best bookstore in LA that remains. I just put down $150. And I love going for a drink at the Bonaventure. I'm a sucker for that rotating lounge. And seeing that you were in DTLA and with the Bukowski interspersed, I've been reading John Fante. It's fun to read his description of 1930s LA and thinking about what isn't here anymore.
ahhh love John Fante! it felt appropriate to include this Bukowski interview with this LA vlog! and agree, Skylight is truly at the top of its game when it comes to bookstores in LA. i always make sure to visit whenever i'm back home :) i've not been to Bonaventure, but keeping it in mind the next time i visit!
The boob remains safe!! Lol i feel the “who am i where do i come from” grateful existential crisis you go thru coming back to ca everytime i go to korea 😂 We’re all v grateful you dedicated your life to books/booktube ❤
it's a crisis that continues to eat me up as i go back and forth, physically, mentally, etc. love to call both home and much love to them both and yes!!! boobie has not yet popped! we're in good hands!
your videos always feel surreal yet human ! makes me really appreciate the quote "how strange it is to be anything at all." not sure where it comes from despite my research , but the first time I came across it was in the neutral milk hotel song hah ! your book stack is awesome btw ! also that reflection on home is extremely real . literally wrote a piece about it in substack , i fear . i get a home crisis everytime i go on a trip , it's awesome . lydia davis' essays sound super intriguing , more to the pile of my TBR glowering at me from the ominous corner ! hyuman-dong bookshop is *also* staring at me from the corner ! i would love the afterlife to exist just so i could read all books for eternity . also , watching this video while my stomach is grumbling was NOT a good decision (jk i love your videos) your piano playing is so beautiful ????? my mouth is watering for the taste of new books . (I love the home motif throughtout the video) fuck I love the little text section about home . x) okay I would defiinitely win in a yappathon HELP . uh yeah your video was awesome ! I just rambled as I watched (and researched about metamorphic rocks but we don't talk about that) . your video made a lovely accompaniment during schoolwork thank you . have a good day ! xx
so glad to accompany you through your schoolwork!!! home and what to call home and how to make a how is a constant for me! hope your days move smoothly through your studies! the best of luck with everything
Nathan, your montages are so good. You should be working in the film business, even though it's a disgusting cesspool of a business, at least in Hollyweird. But, yeah, your montages are brilliant!
