Thank you for talking about the bookstores and museums in DC. I left DC after I retired an second time. Now I am missing the bookstores and museums. My older son was also a journalism major - so we would head to the old Newseum (before it move to the mall) we loved doing the interactive exhibits. One time we were discussing / arguing over one of the senerios and when we looked up we had gathered an audience. I use to enjoy the annual National book Festival when it was on the Mall - but I do think the move inside was a good one - out of the rain and heat. Thanks for sparking good memories.
What wonderful memories! Yes-I was talking with a friend yesterday about how much we missed the Newseum. It was such a wonderful experience for homeschooling kids!
Thanks for answering my queations! I also love the National Gallery East. I'd love to shop those bookstores! I've also wondered about the ending of Jane Eyre and why Bronte thought we needed to end by hearing an update about that particular person. I agree with your spice choices but I might have to bring smoked paprika, too. And yes, garlic, black pepper and chiles are indispensable.
Oh yes-smoked paprika! And I don’t know for sure that I could live without harissa…
Congrats on 4K! I’m a big admirer of your videos and 4K is absolutely deserved!
Thank you so much! Lovely to see you here!
Overdrawn is a great description of much of the YA Genre.
I need to look into those Dickinson mysteries! How fun! And I have requested my library buy the HUP Dickinson letters❤
We’ll have to compare notes on the Dickinson mysteries, if you read them! I loved reading her letters and think libraries should be interested in owning the volume-although I certainly would understand if they prioritized collections of her poetry.
I can completely relate to forgetting plot details but remembering characters, moments, imagery, and writing style. I loved your Harry Potter experience story as well as your other answers here! 🤍
Thank you very much, Johanna. It does seem that there are many very dedicated readers who are constantly losing the plot!
I’ve loved these q and an episodes, Hannah. Ok, now I have to go immediately to Jane Eyre and look at that last page! I just read the book for the first time less than a year ago. 🥰. And leave it to Grix to come up with some really cool questions!
I'm always curious what I might have thought of Jane Eyre if I read it as an adult rather than as a youngster. I can imagine that I would be able to be a bit more critical!
How happy I am to see your new video! I always feel as if I'm learning something new when watching and listening. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much , Sandra!
Not surprised that our spice choices would be pretty much the same. My first thought was cinnamon, second black pepper, cumin might not have been one of mine, but maybe.
Those southern genes might at least explain the black pepper!
Thank you for answering my question. I really liked your answer. I also love to read nonfiction about books and authors. I’ve not read many mysteries with authors as the investigators, but I would really like to. I was fascinated by your answers to the disappointing ending question. 😊📚
What a great question, Alice! Thanks so much for asking it!
Thank you! I look forward to your thoughts on the Emily Dickinson mysteries!
I am excited to read these books-especially after successfully reading a thriller. More details to come…
You haven’t convinced me to reread _Jane Eyre_ but (except that I’m pressed for time right now) I’m set to go dig out my copy and reread those last three paragraphs. I’m glad you did this, and I feel a twinge of regret that it’s the last installment. Oh well, the next thousand’ll be here soon enough. 🤔
I screwed up: there will be another!
Good day, Hannah! Another wonderful talk. Thank you! Have you, by chance, read Leon Eden’s masterful Henry James biography? It’s one of my favorites! Also, Hermione Lee’s Virginia Woolf is heartbreaking. Sending my regards from California. All the best! 🌹✌️💐
I read Lee’s biography before I had read nearly enough of Woolf’s fiction-and I really should read it again-perhaps next March, which has been my unofficial Virginia Woolf month for several years. And I just ordered Eden’s bio a few days ago in preparation for some James reading! How lovely to hear your recommendation!
Thanks for the Art in September plug. Some of those questions are hard. With the kind of find I read, I’m not sure I’d want to be any fictional character.😂
I can imagine! Given the depressing stories I often love (like Hardy), I suppose I feel the same!
i love your thoughtful answers to these questions so much ! & i'm sad i missed writing you a question for this little series, but all the questions you've been getting have been so interesting !!
Thanks! Weren't these questions great?! I think I might do another Q&A in September to celebrate my 5th anniversary.
Looking for your thoughts on Jane Eyre - for many years it was my favourite book - It has not left my top 8 books in nearly 70 years - but it is no longer fully secure in the #1 slot.
Always illumination to watch your channel. I learn with each view. Thank you.
I am eager to hear some of your other favorites! And thank you for your kind words.
I am not a horror fan but I read The Girl with all the Gifts by Mike Carey. It was a zombie story with a bit of humanity. I really enjoyed the book. Maybe it would be the one to try! I am going to get to Jane Eyre before I die!!! BTW saw you on Shawn the Book Maniac. My daughter had written some wonderful poems. She destroyed them!!! I wanted her to try and have them published. but she related them to a very difficult time in her life and wanted them gone. Take care.
Your stories about your daughter's decision to destroy her work is heartbreaking but also understandable. I didn't keep most of my poems from my early years, although I think that was mostly because they were just bad... Thanks for your kind comment. I'll put The Girl with All the Gifts on my possibilities list!
Have you read Stephen King´s Bag of Bones, Hannah? Light on the horror, big on mystery, compelling setting and characters (author protagonist). I think you might enjoy it. Love your videos.
Thank you, Kirsten! I have not yet read any Stephen King at all. Bag of Bones sounds like a good place to start!
I think if you see 'Jane Eyre' as an exploration of a religious journey the ending is... (too much of a spoiler alert!). There are religious men imposing their versions of who Jane should be according to religion, the hypocrite (B) and a hair shirted type. Jane rejected both non 'exemplars' and forges her own path, the end confirms she's made the right choice. I think Bronte is more critical of the hypocrite. I was struck when reading 'Heart of Darkness' how similar the end of K, is. I think Conrad is cleverly interacting with 'Jane Eyre' with a more cynical view of exporting religion and the motivation of Europeans. The reality: horror.
Holy cow! I was thinking about religion-but your thoughts here (including about Conrad) are absolutely eye-opening. Thank you so much!!
@@HannahsBooks Always happy to bounce ideas about 'Jane Eyre'. Names choices are interesting here. I think he's the evangelist, not the baptist - he's literally offered the world -(the Latin name) and rejects it (her).
I had to go and remind myself of the last chapter. Now fascinated by this interpretation. I had always assumed it was just to avoid criticism from the religious majority.
@@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 They came in for some criticism but the Brontes are in some respects naive. The scurrilous suggestion that CB was the mistress of Thackeray must have shocked her because she didn't know about his life. I know Bronte was influenced by 'The Pilgrim's Progress' which I haven't read but that's perhaps why I thought about Hannah's response to the end and came up with this idea. The Conrad idea would be from being shown excerpts from magazines (such as Dickens's publication) pushing a pro Empire view and how Conrad was responding to that, ideas changing during the fin de siecle. I think he he will have read 'Jane Eyre' and to me it just seems similar.
