Ah yes, can’t wait to read Montaigne’s deep philosophical pondering in essays such as: “About Thumbs”, “About a Monstrous Child”, “About the Custom of Wearing Clothes”, and, of course, “About Cannibals”. Thanks Emma
When I tell you I SPRINTED to the comment section hoping everyone was posting their big 3 hehehe... I got The Charthouse of Parma moon, The Prince sun, Keats complete poems!!
I’ve been wanting Montaigne’s Complete Essays for a couple of months now for my birthday on September, and I’m a Virgo. And you mentioned Montaigne’s Essays for Virgos.. this must be a sign from the universe.
Loving the Emma Holy Trinity (minus some Mitford) Justine: Sun, Orlando: Moon, Iliad: Rising. It’s the fact you’ve made me add these all onto my bookshelf before this video has said it all really
I really enjoyed these recs. I feel like a lot of recs are easy to predict but I was completely surprised. I'm a Virgo and I never thought of reading Montaigne. I can't wait to pick it up.
I guess now I have to read Justine 🤷🏻♀️ Also, I am someone who liked both The Charterhouse of Parma and The Red and the Black, but I did read them at different times in my life.
As a fellow pisces and soon to be a-level english literature student, I will be reading keats poems which I'm so excited for so thank you for the recommendation also :D
As a Capricorn man, I cackled when I saw your comment about having "a fucking problem." Hey, I'm glad to be one of your "absolute favorites," LOL. As for The Prince, I'd switch it out for something by Nietzsche or Dostoevsky. My gut tells me that Dante is appropriate too since The Divine Comedy really is a text about power at a cosmological-metaphysical-theological level (i.e., justice, order, and the structuration of this world and the world to come).
yes self improvement classics please ,,, also my favorite video in your channel is "5 books that changed my life" i would like a part 2 .. also it would be very interesting if you ranked the first line of randomly picked classics of your shelf!!!
I thought you made a good job for the most part but I laughed out loud when you chose Stendhal’s Charterous of Parma because I had to read it for school and hated it and DNF’ed and I am a Taurus ♉️ but my friend who loves astrology told me the ascendant rising sign is stronger so that’s why I don’t recognize the adjectives you used to portray my sign. But you definitely made me (for a while) read more classics. Montaigne in particular and The Odyssey.
Lol literally have my next ‘bedside table’ read ‘planned’ as Montaigne (praise the Virgo Sun) 😭 and can finally point at the Sade on my shelf in understanding of that Aquarius Moon 🌝
ENFP?! You’re way off track. I believe she once said ENTJ which doesn’t really seem like it to me but hey only she knows herself. But definitely a T type.
@@LovelyDay11 I don’t think I’m “way off track.” Of course, only Emma knows what she truly is, but this is my observation based on watching many of her RUclips videos. Perhaps Emma’s most delightful quality is her ability to skip from one book to another, one subject to another, with such ease and agility. That is a hallmark of extraverted intuition, which is an ENFP’s dominant function. Extraverted intuition is an ENTJ’s 6th function. It’s way down there. Emma screams extraverted intuition. It just doesn’t make sense for her to be an ENTJ for that reason alone.
@@LovelyDay11 Emma’s interest in fiction as opposed to non-fiction (she has stated many times that she is not interested in history) also strongly suggests that she is an artsy feeler rather than a nuts-and-bolt thinker.
My big 3! Sun: goethe Rising: the prince Moon: the charterhouse of Parma ✌🏻💫💁🏻♀️ I do own a copy of the prince, maybe this means I should finally read it? 😅
Interesting recommendations. Happy to see something other than YA, Science Fiction or High Fantasy books. Also, my recommendation was The Prince, hope that doesn't say a lot about us capricorns
about to do the most virgo thing ever but costar is rly shitty if yall didnt know!! i highly recommend timepassages instead and yes i did buy the complete collection of montaigne’s essays like two years ago when i first heard emma recommend him
Hola que tal?, Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedan venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfruten mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por sus vídeos....
So would you say you're kinda a book channel now? Love you 😂💕 also I guess Hamlet and Hamilton would work for an Aries too just generally :) ☀️Capricorn ⬆️Virgo 🌜either pisces or aquarius (don't know my birth time).
the way my fav boks are your book recs for my signs!! the aeneid (/the odyssey ofc ) montaigne the iliad also i feel you with the capricorn men part shfhdshshd
As a Virgo, I would have gone with Plato’s Republic, purely because it is about the creation of a utopia. We Virgos are highly perfectionist, overly critical, and generally quite selfless. I will be sure to check out Montaigne’s Essays though!
The Eneida? I Don't read. Thanks Emma. I prefer breviarium politicorum of Mazarino than the Príncipe. I think the Best book of Maquiavelo is discours of the First decade of Tito Livio
Wow- yeah I’m a Leo 😂 and I can shut up, I just excited and ramble especially when nervous. And I think I’m interesting? I will dump a load of facts on you- so like?
Can I just say, as someone who has eyesight problems, that strange green background with the obscure font is dreadful. I think either a ‘unique’ background/ or font not both please!
Ah yes, can’t wait to read Montaigne’s deep philosophical pondering in essays such as: “About Thumbs”, “About a Monstrous Child”, “About the Custom of Wearing Clothes”, and, of course, “About Cannibals”. Thanks Emma
Also, Capricorns get The Prince? Those horned whores
the *deepest* of musings, very educational and enlightening about the things that matter
When I tell you I SPRINTED to the comment section hoping everyone was posting their big 3 hehehe... I got The Charthouse of Parma moon, The Prince sun, Keats complete poems!!

It’s a sign for sure, happy early birthday!
This was such a high quality classics recommendations video. Loved every second of it
My big 3 lol
Rising: Orlando
Moon: Dangerous Liaisons
Sun: Keats poetry
I’ve read, and LOVED, Orlando so I’m very excited for these!
Loving the Emma Holy Trinity (minus some Mitford) Justine: Sun, Orlando: Moon, Iliad: Rising. It’s the fact you’ve made me add these all onto my bookshelf before this video has said it all really

I've binge watched over 70% of your channel now and we still haven't found your Odyssey
I appreciate you keeping an eye out, but if we've learnt anything it's gunna be a while 😭😭😭
hahahahhah
@@sarcastic_fish you lend it to your friend and she did NOT return it yet
no but i literally love that your videos are an eternity long
I guess now I have to read Justine 🤷🏻♀️ Also, I am someone who liked both The Charterhouse of Parma and The Red and the Black, but I did read them at different times in my life.
You have given me hope that I will love both! 😂
I think you freaking killed this! It was absolutely stellar 👏🏻
😌😌
As a fellow pisces and soon to be a-level english literature student, I will be reading keats poems which I'm so excited for so thank you for the recommendation also :D
As an Aries I can confirm this. She is spot on😂 I absolutely loved reading The Iliad and The Odyssey.
Yaaas loved it, i actually got some good and interesting recs.
Sun: Sorrows of young Werther;
Moon: Dangerous Liaisons;
Rising: Keats Complete Poetry.
I was so in the mood to watch your vids i was about to binge oldies and then we got fedddd
Omg! I was literally thinking last night "I wonder if someone has ever done a books by zodiac signs but with classics." Yes!
☀️ montaigne’s essays
🌙 the iliad
📈 dangerous liaisons
Proud of a big three like that ✌🏼 excellent recs Emma!
my sun, rising, mercury and venus are in gemini AND my favourite book is orlando!!👏

Y’all will be the death of my sanity I swear. Yeeeees Dante is such a good shout, I flip flopped about adding him to the list
Libra ♎️ Treatise of toleration
Cancer ♋️ The sorrows of young werther Scorpio ♏️ Dangerous liaisons
Now on my reading list 😊
yes self improvement classics please ,,, also my favorite video in your channel is "5 books that changed my life" i would like a part 2 .. also it would be very interesting if you ranked the first line of randomly picked classics of your shelf!!!
the eyeliner look come through queen
being a Taurus and from Parma makes your pick really special🥺🥺
This is soo correct. I'm Pisces and my favorite poet is John Keats OH MY GODD
sun in montaigne , moon in the charterhouse of parma and sun in the art of rhetoric. hell yeah.
Yes, Yes, Yes Emma!! You got Libra spot on! Thank you so much for this awesome video and yes please do a video on your favorite books. 🤗

My big 3 are The Iliad (sun), Keats's poetry (moon), and The Sorrows of Young Werther (rising) which feels pretty on brand
Leo sun, pisces moon, aquarius rising, I'm very intrigued by those book recs 😂💃🏻
crying your make up is everything
Lol literally have my next ‘bedside table’ read ‘planned’ as Montaigne (praise the Virgo Sun) 😭 and can finally point at the Sade on my shelf in understanding of that Aquarius Moon 🌝
Yaay Orlando, i feel so blessed
Ahhhhh! also in relation to Orlando, read 'No Modernism without lesbians' Aka a stellar recount of the modernists through the lives of queer women(?)
it is always the best moment of the video when one of your siblings interrupt the video
This is such a fun idea, Emma! Thank you for the video :D
* cries in introverted leo *
hahaha you poor thing
@@sarcastic_fish my whole chart is pretty much a mess tbh hahah
we are soooo lucky!!!!! another book video
yaaas
Love it! Next, I’d love to see you do recommendations based on a person’s Myers-Briggs type. I’m guessing you are an ENFP. Am I right or am I right?
Ooo I'm the INFP !

Rising: the prince
Moon: the charterhouse of Parma ✌🏻💫💁🏻♀️
I do own a copy of the prince, maybe this means I should finally read it? 😅
Aries in Sun and Leo in Moon! Gosh, so much fire!

All those classics, it's a dream to have those collections.
Interesting recommendations. Happy to see something other than YA, Science Fiction or High Fantasy books. Also, my recommendation was The Prince, hope that doesn't say a lot about us capricorns

I'm Virgo and I love your recommendation! I was sure there will be another "romance" recommendation, but no and thank God!!
So would you say you're kinda a book channel now? Love you 😂💕 also I guess Hamlet and Hamilton would work for an Aries too just generally :) ☀️Capricorn ⬆️Virgo 🌜either pisces or aquarius (don't know my birth time).
I'm a Gemini who's been eyeing up the Orlando in my bookcase for a year now 👀
do it do it
wow, i'm a capricorn and the other day i had a dream that i was buying the prince :o i'm gonna read now!!!!!!!

Keats for Pisces is spot on!

I LOVE YOUR BIRTH CHART
lmao i got orlando sun, justine moon, iliad rising and it looks more like a red flag than my actual chart
Capricorn here...😂 spot on with traits and the recommendation
I know nothing about zodiac but i know i'm a cancer and i know i love Werther!!!!!!
the stars don’t lie 😎😎😎
Have you read Mandragola by Machiavelli? I think you would like that.
i’m an aries ♈️ and it was pretty obvious hahahaha, thanks anyway.
literally the only difference in our charts is that i have a cancer rising... i'm scared
I’m going to possibly hate The charthouse of Parma? Because I love The red and The black? Now I’m sad 😢😭
Only one way to find out 👀👀
the way my fav boks are your book recs for my signs!!
the aeneid (/the odyssey ofc )
montaigne
the iliad
also i feel you with the capricorn men part shfhdshshd
IM EARLYYYYY YAYAYEEEEEYYYY I'm Leo btw ♌
iam an Aries too !
As a Virgo, I would have gone with Plato’s Republic, purely because it is about the creation of a utopia. We Virgos are highly perfectionist, overly critical, and generally quite selfless. I will be sure to check out Montaigne’s Essays though!
Oh yeah that’s such a good shout!! And do, im sure you’d enjoy them
The Eneida? I Don't read. Thanks Emma. I prefer breviarium politicorum of Mazarino than the Príncipe. I think the Best book of Maquiavelo is discours of the First decade of Tito Livio
Girl i have 5 fire signs in my big 6 as well. Leo in sun, mercury, mars and aries in moon and ascendant. And then my venus in in FUCKING VIRGO

Continue to Love others as yourself. Yehushua loves yall and is coming soon. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. I love all of yall🤍

Astrology is bs, bye! 😍🌈😎😆🍾🎩
that’s why it’s funny 💕🍄🙈💫
@@sarcastic_fish Very good take! ☺️
@@sarcastic_fish The ridiculous is the sublime, as I was told on a shroom trip once
Would recommend East of Eden by John Steinbeck to fellow libras 🦭 not excluding others that enjoy this as much too or so I’ve heard :)
Personally, I feel like Justine - Sade would be better suited for Scorpios. Especially those with it in their Venus sign.
