Can we all just agree that men geeking out about books is just seriously got 🤗
👍👍👍👍👍
I found you via searching Ishiguro since I read his new book recently. I also enjoy Cusk, and would definitely invite Ferrante as well to a soiree! And I love The Waves as well, but just Woolf in general! Glad to have found your channel
Found your channel through Reddit! I've never read Blood Meridian and it's been on my tbr for ages. Please make a 10 minute video on why it sucks so I can feel better about never picking it up.
Thanks for stopping by! Trust me, you made the right choice in delaying Blood Meridian. I think dedicating ten minutes of your life to thinking about that book might even be too much hahaha
my book choices have taken a hard turn away from YA lol
Haha fair enough! I barely ever read YA either tbh. What kind of books are you into now?
I've never heard of Matilda, I'll have to give it a read.
i see atonement got snubbed from either list in your description box, unforgivable haha :-D
Oh drat! Thanks for letting me know, managed to miss that entirely :)
@@eddiecational i was just being facetious, it's one of my favourite books, you just broke my heart xD
@@LarryHasOpinions Hey, you asked for it! Hahaha
first :)
Some classics are way too overrated. Read 'The Idiot' recently, wouldn't recommend it! Do check our channel if you get time :D
Oh no, that's one of the books in my 'physically read every book that I own but haven't read' challenge, not looking forward to that one now! Hahaha
@@eddiecational Haha.. totally skippable. But 'Crime & Punishment' is great. A little tedious, but worth the effort.
hi, george bush here, nice content
I refuse this endorsement
