Hello Clifford, are you thinking about launching a book club as part of your offer for your Patreons? It is something I would personally be really interested in! Thanks in advance for your response and I wish you many enjoyable reading experiences.
That's a great idea, since your subject matter is pretty niche (unfortunately), having a stronger engagement from a tight community would be good for the channel. Plus, we all come from over the wolrd and got different experiences with books and life, so sharing those would be very interesting!
Long time subscriber here, just noticed how many subscribers you have Cliff. Wow! Way to go, glad to see the success of your channel. Some of your book suggestions have literally changed my life.
Great review, man! How you think through the books you're reading is really interesting. I can surely say that there is real passion in there. I feel like if you ever write something, a novel, novella or anything, its going to be an intriguing read. I'd love to know if you ever thought of it. I'm sure you must have.
I just picked up the peregrine by ja baker. I'm not sure why but this particular type of bird seems to be so powerful for invoking and inspiring good writing
I really love that intro :D Tbh "writer" might be the best way I've seen people escape having to self define as a "youtuber". You are writing and performing video scripts! Video editor might work too. Shammy used to say he was a script writer instead of YT. Went nuts, but the sentences in his videos are still amazing.
Glenway also benefited from the patronage of his sister in law, Barbara Harrison, daughter of Philippines governor. She's also a fascinating character who started her own book company in Paris as an expat. (Wescott was Great Uncle.)
Hi Clifford, this is your neighbour. How dare you insult my anime stuffed toy collection? That has been passed down in my family for generations. To think I was going to invite you to a sleep over and give you a full tour of my collection!!! 😡
"Hemingway believes in Ethics and Ideals." I think Hemingway was a blowhard, try-hard, vacuous Voice of Convention. Wescott was a deep thinker, Erniekins was a deep drinker. APARTMENT IN ATHENS was, in a weird way, the best way to end a fiction career...it's an entire universe in a novel.
Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/BETTERTHANFOOD

I will definitely take that into consideration, thank you!

It almost feels like a book club already

I used to buy books at Artifacts! And I lived in Hood River briefly... cool place!
Well, now I'm self conscious about my totoro display in my window

I just ordered it , i also read Blood Meridian on your recommendation . Good channel
Imagine if his neighbor subscribes to his channel.... :o
Blowup is a wildly good movie. I should rewatch it.
And a Herbie Hancock soundtrack.
every once in awhile I will just out of nowhere say “better than food, man,” to my girlfriend and she looks at me confused.
That line about your neighbour cracked me up.
Great review. Getting this book
Have you thought of doing JG Farrrell's "Troubles"? Its great.
your neighbor's giant plushies, HA!
At least they're semi-normal and not straight-up lewd body pillows on display
Do you get free books from NYRB ? Sounds like a sweet deal if that's the case
Just tell everybody you're a book critic.
exactly. the medium is irrelevant, imo
Highly recommend The Razor’s Edge by Maugham
HADRIAN THE SEVENTH, BY FREDERICK ROLFE / BARÓN CORVO, NEXT, HUH?!
Blowup, great film, Cliff.
Team Raw Forged🔥
Is there anything as an embargo over Cmac's new novels, Cliff? Wonder if you'll post a review in a month or two.
Fucking hilarious opening
A whole book about a bird? And again a character with a drinking problem. No thanks on this one.
Haha fuck man at 1:15 you made me choke on my coffee lol. There's a weirdo on every street I guess lol.
My profile picture :D
Another day, another lost opportunity to review some books that aren't written by men. Just to spice it up a little bit
