I’m up for a War and Peace readalong anytime! I loved seeing Bob. Deb
About 20:18 - I read some English translations a few times and never realized how unusual it was to keep the French text or any other language in the dialogue. In Brazilian translations, it's much more common to translate these passages only in the footnotes, actually I can't remember any edition that hasn't done so, nor did I think that it could. Slight details that modify our perception of a book.
I would recommend looking into the Di Giovanni translations of Borges if you plan on reading him. those translations were done in collaboration with Borges, and in my opinion, read much better than the Hurley translations. Giovanni never got to Ficciones, but he did do The Aleph and Other Stories. just thought I'd let you know in case you're reading stories from the Hurley book and feel like you aren't enjoying them as much as you could be
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it!
Kurosawa was an avid reader of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. It is only fitting for them to be in the same shelf.
I still need to see his movie adaptation of The Idiot!
Have you seen Ikiru ? It's based off Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilyich.
I love that movie, the beginning reminds me of a Kafka novel, all of the absurd roundabout bureaucracy!
Your ring and the wax stick are very neat!
Thank you, Amy!
Rather an interesting shelving system, seems to go where the spirit moves you. Excellent! Bookshelves should have personality😄
I read infinite jest two years ago and I feel similarly about it although I will say that I learned a lot of new words by reading it. Its cool to know obscure words even if I never once use them in conversation. Ha!
It sounds like you may enjoy the novels of Will Self!
Man your collection is amazing I could watch these videos all day. We have very similar tastes in literature.
Thank you!
That's not how I pictured Bob at all. I was picturing him as a dead ringer for Santa Claus for some reason.
Wow that is a nice 3 volume set of War and Peace!
Thank you!
I’ve got that same big translation of War and Peace and I agree completely, I know I won’t get through it.
Also, RAN 🎨 is amazing
Mat; you should crack Borges nonfiction, and read the articles on Germany and the war. I thought they were great. He delves into the philosophy of Nazism. It ALL applies to our current era.
Thank you for the nudge!
Not to be pushy; I’ve watched a ton of your videos, and I personally love your taste. I can’t read Borges for more than like an hour or two however...
I just finished Madame Bovary, and omg Flaubert blew my mind. Off your rec. so thanks.
The French portions in the War and Peace are in French in the original, and originally Russians read it like that, with huge footnotes, so I guess they just wanted to give a more authentic experience of reading the book :)
I'd be in for a War and Peace read along.
Matthew, I'm with you on that Murakami novel -- I've enjoy his novels in the past, but this one... he stretched my "suspension of disbelief" just a bit too far. I did finish it, but ended up with a big Meh. It seemed thrown together with every oddball and surreal element he could think of at the time. A big disappointment.
Sent you an email about some books.
Okay great, I'll go through my email after work. Thanks!
Matthew as per your surname in your email address. Do you have Irish heritage?
Yes, I'm mostly Irish!
