See, I'm caught between Viking funeral pyre with my books, and being buried with my books like a Pharaoh with their treasures. Such a hard decision. Maybe I'll have people compete in teams to decide which: if Team Viking wins the Funeral Games, then I burn. If Team Pharaoh wins, I will be buried.
Outdoor cremation is only done in this one town in Colorado in the US. And "Viking funerals" are sadly a myth -- the fire wouldn't stay hot enough long enough to do anything but drop a slightly charred body into the water to wash up later.
@@BlackCanary87 whilst it being a myth I agree on, the "fire doesn't stay hot enough long enough" I find a bit of a stretch. I've been on quite a few boats, and the first thing that's there as a warning is what to do if there's a fire. Not what if the boat's sinking, no, what to do with a fire. Fire is one of the deadliest things that can happen on a ship if it does happen in a serious way, even the metal ones. secondly, you can get a fire real hot real quick, you can have a minimum of floor material that _doesn't_ burn so the fire doesn't sink the boat fast, and whilst turning a corpse into dust lasts quite long with fire, turning it into essentially a human doner kebab without a stick is doable in really short times if you get a good fire going. Astronauts have died completely from fire in as short as 6 seconds with the oxygen turned up. Getting the fire to not break the ship for 3-5 minutes is definitely doable, and 1000+C from a big bonfire or faux-forge is mostly a matter of stacking and using a few non-combustible materials. So pretty sure you can char the corpse black all over mostly cooked before the ship even gets a leak.
I just bought 15 really good books at a book sale for about 16 dollars. I feel like I've officially entered my book goblin phase. I got the Hunger Games trilogy hardcover for 5 dollars, baby 🎉
Honestly I wish so badly that audiobooks came with a text ebook. Even if it was an option for a higher price 😭 I usually read ebooks, and I want to get into audiobooks so I can multitask, but then when I do have time to sit down and read … i’d prefer reading myself. I’d love if I there was a little button where I could hit “switch to text/audio”
Ok when my sister has kids I'm telling them about the book goblin that leaves you books on your table every month and messes up the pillows into a nest and also leaves you a note.
I feel like I have found my tribe! I love audiobooks while working to settle the easily distracted part of my brain or trying to fall asleep because it is like being read to or told a story like a kiddo! Also, for books that are very -dense-, using Immersive Reading can help me retain the details.
Audio for when I'm busy, e book for notes and ability to read anywhere, physical copy because you don't actually own digital content, and it can be snatched back at any time.
Makes perfect sense. Audio when you're on the move, ebook when you don't have the paperback, paperback with a nice snack and warm drink, special edition hardcover because pretty.
I'm seriously considering buying my favorite ebook series, over 20 books at this point and ongoing, in physical copies as they release and I can just see my wallet crying.
I bought this hardcover for being signed, this hardcover for reading, this paperback for sending to friend, ebook for highlighting, and this paperback was a gift
Omg! Book goblin's whisper voice is so soothing.. I'm a writer, but I have adhd, so I wasn't able to concentrate and so I'm not a big reader. I read rarely, Right now, I'm reading Sinner's gin by Rhys Ford.
Have you tried audio books or even the immersive audio & visual combination for reading books when you do -want- to read a given book but struggle with wandering attention.
I’m gonna confess my sins here. I pirate my books to iBook and then I buy physical copies if I like them. The whole library process stresses me out bc I’m a slow-ass reader and I don’t have the money to just buy things. I want to know that I’m saving up for something I can actually appreciate.
If you check out ebooks from the library and put your reading device on airplane mode, the library can't automatically take the book back. If you're reading on your phone, there might be a limit to how long you can reasonably keep it on airplane mode, but it might do the trick if you just need a couple more hours and aren't expecting any calls. And often there's a way to renew your loan as long as there isn't a wait list for the book you're borrowing. Just a couple things to keep in mind. But I understand where you're coming from. :)
i was donating books with my mam and i have two copies of alice in wonderland, and i was deciding which book to donate. i told my mam “i can’t decide! what do i do?” and she said “i get it, just keep both.” mama gets it.
Book goblin is by far my favourite character of all time ( besides River song and 11th Doctor) and there should be a book series and show just about book goblin!! Book goblin is my new obsession!
This is basically what I’m doing with my favorite book series. I don’t have all of the ebooks yet or any of the audio books but I want them. My one complaint thought is that the complete series has not been physically published yet with matching covers. With the final two books they changed the cover designs for all of them but the only place you can have a matching set is with digital books. Disney apparently bought the rights before the pandemic but who knows when it will see the light of day as there hasn’t been any news since then. If it does come to the screen then I might be able to get a matching set physically - hopefully in hard cover.
SAME 😆 But also why is this video so satisfying I just want to listen to it on repeat? New auditory stim unlocked! ALSO can you please make the Book Goblin shorts into a playlist?
Nah the special edition hard covers are worth it when they’re really pretty. Like I saw the new Murtaugh coming out and I bought that instantly. It’s the single most beautiful book I’ve ever seen and it’s really good on top of it (I got mine signed).
Hey Book Goblin! I listen to my audiobook while reading the ebook. The best part is that the words get highlighted while they’re being read to me. I can see the words being read and hear them in the voice of the author (if they chose to voice it themselves).
I'm with Book Goblin on this one.
I'm with Book Goblin on everything.
True😂
We will pray for your bank account.
😄😄😄I just did that last week
So true
Same same
To be fair, a Viking funeral with your special edition books sounds amazing.
I mean, yeah but lighting books on fire would make me sad, even dead. I prefer if I can donate them 😊
Most readers I've talked to have a real problem with mass book-burnings, last time I checked😅

@@IanM-id8or Personally I do not think death from old age should be ‘cured’ 😭

Book Goblin's logic is infallible. That is indeed the only way to have a viking funeral. 😂
And about as historically accurate as any other version of it.

I find it horrible - destroying your books that way. Being buried with them would be much better.
Missed opportunity of "fine, its your funeral" 😂
That’s perfect!
It felt unfinished. That’s exactly what it needed.

Same but I want mine buried with me like a pharaoh surrounded by his treasures.
Exactly that way, a whole new civilization can be enthralled by the stories of the long gone "book readers" civilization.
Or.. dang! No gold here. Just close it back up.
Entombed: Hey, leave a light, would ya?
You. I like you. I like the way you think :)
Sealed in containers so the books won't crumble to dust when discoveres want to read them, right?

Such a hard decision. Maybe I'll have people compete in teams to decide which: if Team Viking wins the Funeral Games, then I burn. If Team Pharaoh wins, I will be buried.
@@red0421
Being buried with your treasure is a known form of Viking funeral. Preferably in a big barrow.
@@ragnkja ah, but the Pharaoh option comes with my own (Admittedly much smaller) pyramid.
Figure it'll lighten the mood a bit, kind of like Monopoly.

The fact that book goblin said if they die then what would they do with the hardcovers since book goblin hates the idea of downsizing 😂❤
I totally understand it. I have 4 series hardcovered with gift box. I must buy it. In my country the stores sell only the softcover standard.

She’s so chaotic and I’m lokey here for it. Started off with the multiple romance videos and now she’s like the intro hung I watch.
Hahahah, I love the book Goblin 😂😂😂 I need more shorts with him
Strangely, despite loving books, the idea of being buried with a book makes me sad. Id rather that book live on to be read and treasured anew
My first thought with the hardcover special edition was use it as a weapon
Honestly if you burn a bunch of expensive hard covers at your funeral, I think you're going to book hell
Why does this funeral idea resonates so strongly with me ? 😂😂
Remember getting a physical copy is a great way to get your friends into your favorite book/series and become the librarian friend
