    I was screaming last night that I needed another csop video, so thank you! First edition of The Secret History is an amazing addition to your collection, congratulations! I've recently been scrubbing the internet and Goodwills for the 25th anniversary white edition with no avail. I recommend listening to David Sedaris books on audio. His voice and cadence make the stories so much more convincing. When I was 10/11 listening to them with my mother in the car, i had no idea they were satire. I'd just think to myself, "wow this man has a very interesting life." Also given the fact that I probably didn't have the cognitive ability to understand satire at that age, I still loved his work then and now.

    I read "Atonement" for school. It's definitely a slow burn (heightened by the multiple POVs - though that is justified through the thematic focus on perspective) but I found the way that it explored the power of storytelling and the consequences of and guilt that arises from one's wrong immoral actions very compelling. McEwan takes the concept of making pure-intentioned and ignorant mistakes with negative consequences, something many of us relate to - especially as we reflect upon our youth- to its logical extreme. There is a real art with which he creates a believable protagonist, who is easy to empathize with, but impossible to sympathize with. This book definitely made me brush up against and reflect upon my own beliefs about forgiveness, right and wrong, and the course of action after we inevitably do harm. Would recommend.

    I was reading The Secret History yet again - as one does ,and decided to listen to Donna Tartt narrating the audiobook at the same time - it’s free on YT but I noticed she adds sentences and shortens or rearranges some sentences in audiobook .

      She is, in my rather staunch opinion, inarguably one of the best literary figures still living today and certainly one whose writing has shaped my worldview more than most. That reminds me though, earlier this year I worked at a sort of antique store in NYC where the owner had once met Donna when she was making a purchase there. And after I heard that I spent every shift in a masked state of terrible anticipation for the day she might quietly slip through the shop door. She never made an appearance while I was there, though I still dream about the possibility of another chance encounter in the future.

    Rebecca is my favorite book!!! So I read Jamaica Inn, Frenchman's Creek, and am now on My Cousin Rachel. My Cousin Rachel is so far the only one that is living up to my high high expectations for Daphne it's SOOOOO good from the first chapter. The other two I mentioned are still good but I recommend reading MCR next.
    And the Alfred Hitchcock Rebeccca movie is amazing!! Yes it changes that important plot point but it is not nearly as disloyal to the spirit of the book as I expected it to be. The new one on the other hand doesn't carry the themes of the novel at all and as someone who is rarely an adaptation snob, I hated it.
