- Hello everyone! Welcome or welcome back to my channel, I am so glad you are here. Today, just wanted to give out some recomendations for classic books that I loved and I think you will as well if you are just getting into the space.
Thank you all so much for all the love and support on all of my videos. These have been a blast to make and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us!

I appreciate you being here, hope you have a great day!
I've read Lord of the Flies and 1984. Both highly accesdible "classics." Crime and Punishment is the first "classic" that really knocked me flat, but I can't be sure how most contemporary readers would get on with it. I'm told that I've been a grumpy old man with tastes to match since childhood.
I haven't read All Quiet on the Western Front yet, but I've heard many positive things. At present, my favorite of the few war novels I've read is The Red Badge of Courage.
I'm currently working on The Bhagavad Gita. I would argue that it's surprisingly universal and applicable once you get rolling with it, but there's a bit of an entry fee in that most readers will probably need to study a bit of contextual background to get oriented in the beginning.
Great video! Hope you have a nice weekend.
@@BryanM.R.-prionic1 always great seeing you here, excited to get into crime and punishment later this year. Read notes from underground and it made me want to read more
A tree grows in Brooklyn has been on my TBR for so long.... I'm curious to see when I'll finally get around to it.
I only know the movie Lord of the Flies and it definitely branded me. I was probably too young when I saw it for the first and last time. Very brutal... :(
@@CharlieCatHimself13 yes definitely very brutal, and the book has elements of that too.
Go with A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, it is such a good story, I’m sure you will like it!
Loving the content, keep it up mate! Almost 1k views on the "How I read more books" video as well, congrats!
@@secbroom thank you man! I appreciate the kind words, so many more videos to come soon so stay tuned. Thanks for being here!
@@BookswithSam1 You're welcome! Looking forward to seeing the channel grow!
I dug lord of the flies too ! it was definitely not what I expected, but the symbolism and chain of events was super good and interesting to read !
150 subs too ! thats nuts ! truly making it big time :)
@@wojothebard my thoughts exactly when I read it, finished it last night (recorded this video yesterday) So much symbolism and the part that haunted me the most was the “stick sharpened on both ends” part towards the climax. So eerie
And yes! Channel is thriving, I appreciate you being her since the earlier days
This man is about to take over booktube... I'm calling it...

@@Eddiesopinion thank you! I appreciate the feedback as I’m new to all this
I’ve only read Lord of the Flies and 1984.
@@Maeve_Ever_Books how did you like them?
@ I honestly quite disliked 1984(unpopular opinion). And I liked the message behind Lord of the Flies but, not some of the events that take place. 😅
@ that is honestly quite fair 😂 I’m the same way about lord of the flies. Gave me the creeps at times but i liked the overall message
@Thank you. I’m curious about the other books you mentioned.
@ definitely check out A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and Heaven Has No Favorites, both are excellent
Did you read Epic of Gilgamesh?
I have not yet, but I do own it. Such a fascniating premise around it. I need to get to it here soon!
