I love this tag! So many books could apply for each prompt. I veer between happiness at the sheer number of unread books I have and what is to come and feeling overwhelmed at the number of books. My conclusion is - so much to look forward to. I enjoyed your video.
Haha, I am exactly the same way. Depending on how you look at it, the sheer number of books is either despairing or exciting. But I’m determined to find it exciting. You are exactly right, so much to look forward to! Thank you, Helen!
Once and Future King is great and I have a soft spot for the Greek Plays. Great vid Josh
Thanks Justin! Yeah, I’m excited to get to The Once and Future King at some point. I’ve heard so much praise for it.
I tend to bring in books faster than I can read them too 😊 and mine aren’t even 1000 pages! I also have tags from about six months ago that I haven’t done yet, so two weeks is absolutely fine! 😊 A fantasy deep dive sounds like fun!
Hi Ellen! I know, it’s so tempting to always buy more books, even if I can’t read them all. But I guess that just means I’ll have a great variety in my TBR, and can explore different avenues in my reading. Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate it.
@ Exactly, always good to have options! 😊
The Once and Future King is fantastic. You’ll be amazed.
I’m hoping to pick up The Tale of Genji this winter.
I advise you to save some Baldwin for later. I think you’ll be glad you did.
Missing the Egon Schiele poster backdrop.
Good luck on your exams!Hope you have a wonderful winter break from school.
😺✌️
Do you mean that I should take a break from Baldwin and come back to him later? Ah, yes, I must find a print of Schiele’s work. I have to thank you for tipping me off to him, as I find his self-portraits to be very memorable. And thank you for the well wishes! I hope you enjoy the Tale of Genji when you pick it up.
@
Ah, you have the Klimt poster and I suggested Schiele. My mistake.
It might be beneficial to read some other authors now, so you can savor Baldwin’s more complex work later, because there are so few.
I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Genji!
😺✌️
Ah, but that’s the problem! By saying he is complex, I am only more tempted to read his later works and see what it’s like! Maybe you are right, however. We’ll see what happens after Giovanni’s Room.

Whatever you decide, just remember that you can only read a book for the first time once. 😉
I’ve had my eye on that Penguin edition of Genji for a while now too. Haven’t read any Greek plays before, but that seems like a great collection!
Hey, Daniel. Thanks for commenting. Yeah, that penguin edition of The Tale of Genji is really nice. I hope to read it soon.
I love your edition of the Tale of Genji, I'm reading it on ebook but I think I want a physical copy too, also I would love to see your thoughts after. Adding Yukio Mishima to my tbr
Wow, nice! I hope your reading of The Tale of Genji goes well, and I’ll be fascinated to hear your thoughts about it. I think you would like Mishima. He writes incredibly beautifully. Thank you, Emily!!!
And happy birthday (or belated birthday) once again!!!
@@joshuacreboreads Thank you☺
Aspirational book collecting is a glorious thing, one more reason to love life, to stay strong & creative. I have a video on Ancient Greek Tragedy, it's probably the video that I am most proud of, that & my video on 'Beowulf'. Ah, I have a video on Aristotle's 'Poetics' also. I love Aristotle, virtue ethics is my little new obsession, very interesting. Thanks for another wonderful video, Joshua, very engaging.
Interesting. I might seek out your video on Greek Tragedy. I heard Pat talk about it, so it would be interesting to get another viewpoint. One of these days I want to get into Aristotle too. I find it fascinating how influential he was, both for the sciences and the arts. I really appreciate your comment, Phillip. Thanks!
@@joshuacreboreads: Aristotle is the ultimate genius outsider, totally unique, but also compassionate & (I suspect) gentle.
I’d like to read _Clarissa_ too. That’s a nice copy you have.
I’m impressed they were even able to fit it into a single volume! It’ll be hard to lug around with me, but I’ll manage.
I can't help but notice your books have a shine to them. Do you cover them with something or maybe tape them like Steve does (or did)?
Yeah, I tape them with packing tape, following Steve’s example from one of his older videos. I suppose I should feel guilty, but in most cases I’m glad I made them more durable.
@@joshuacreboreadsno, they are your books! No need to feel guilty. I’m only fascinated that you were willing to do it.
Do you tape your books? For me, especially if they are used, I find it helpful to keep them in good condition when I shove them into my backpack, for example.
@@joshuacreboreadsno I don’t. I rather like the distinct feeling of each book, and taping them would give them all the same glossy feeling to them. It’s a small thing but one I’m fond of when it comes to books.
