I need you to do a deep dive on all the books I read so I don't miss anything haha. Didnt know or get half of all this when I read it but glad to hear it would only have brought my 3 up to a 5 anyway 😄 (thanks for the shoutout 💖💝💖💗💝💖)
Are you threatening me with more books? Cos I’ll TAKE them 😂
I really admire how well you are at reviewing books! Really got an idea of this book; even though it sounds super vague, haha :)
“Super vague” could be the alternative title 😆
@@KDbooks 😅😅
Wonderful review! It has been ages since I attempted Soul Mountain!
How far did you get into it?
I think you’d be a pretty inspiring literature instructor, Kieran. 🙂
It would be the DREAM
@Books From Bed oh you!
I absolutely love this book & haven't finished but, I'm so glad to find a deep dive into it 🥰
Thank u so much fr this information..
My exm was too near.. nd its vry helpful for mee..bdw thnkx☺
I can't make up my mind if I want to read it, or if I don't 😅 On one hand, it sounds so interesting, on the other you said it dragged. I think I'll try his shorter works may be first. Like One Man's Bible or Buying a Fishing Rod for my Grandfather and then will see. 🌞 Thank you for introducing the author to us I haven't heard of him before 📚
Happy to send it to ya if you want 😁 remove all risk then 😂
@@KDbooks That's okay. I'll get it myself if I decide to read it. What if I don't like these two other books :) but thank you for the offer :)
To me this sounds like it could either be really good or really a flop for me ... So many possibilities. I read Xiaolu Guo's memoir a few years ago and really liked it if you want to try more, she also has novels.
Ooooooooooh!
Well Gao is . . . french nowadays. Thank you for sharing your passion. Do you know Deançois Cheng. He is 'huge' . . . Is really 'brain wider than the sky' ?
Holy shi.. this is one of the best book reviews i have ever seen.
Appreciate it mate 😊
Do you take notes while reading depending on the subject? I'm finding learning about the welsh customs quite complicated. I'm guessing you heard journey to the west or three kingdoms.
I don’t take any notes for anything. Even through uni I never wrote anything down. 😂

500 pages!?! Yikes, I hope they threw in a free bookmark
They didn’t, but it was sent with love
@@KDbooks so much better than a bookmark!
Well it seemed like at the very least it made you want to learn more about China. Cant believe you managed to take down the 500 page book for something you give a 5/10... thats some commitment to the reviews! Well done
I saw an awesome video on youtube "How China Ruined Everything" that you may enjoy...
PS: From 11:10-11:40 the audio is corrupted....
Well well well, I was talking about you yesterday! I’ve finished Angela Carter’s The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr Hoffman and it is WILD.
She must have based Dr Hoffman off the actual Dr Hoffman who discovered LSD! There is a cacophony of occult, religion, taboo, fetish and general absurdity that I think you would ADORE
@@KDbooks LMAO, i have never heard of this book but I am reading the description right now....
from wikipedia "Set in an unspecified Latin American country, the novel features Desiderio, a government minister in the main city, currently under attack by Doctor Hoffman's reality-distorting machines"
ahahahaha, this sounds right up my alley.... Hoffmans "reality distorting machines", wonder what tha tcould be a metaphor for 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@lucidtrips8822 Am I right? Or am I right? I got 100 pages in and was like... I know who needs to read this 😂
0:44 who is this 😂😂
