    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

      Haha fair enough! I barely ever read YA either tbh. What kind of books are you into now?

    Some classics are way too overrated. Read 'The Idiot' recently, wouldn't recommend it! Do check our channel if you get time :D
