The reason you are so beloved by your viewers is that you remind us of that one university professor or secondary school teacher who was so enamored of their work that their enthusiasm was infectious. And you don’t take any bullshit off anyone. 😺✌️
I absolutely love your Brattle hauls (and all the rest of course but these particularly). However (emphasised) I am a ‘sprite’ 80+ surrounded by hundreds of lovingly collected, unread books. In every book haul there are books that are must buys. I wish you many, many more enjoyable Brattle visits and hauls.
I'm finding slighty damp microfiber clothes to be more effective at cleaning most books than paper towels. Some are also very good at removing sticker goo.
Wow, Rebecca West, I remember Black Lamb and Grey Falcon with a black cover sitting forever on the library shelf, then they discarded it without saving it for me! It is the one that got away.
There is indeed a brand new Penguin Classic of The Anatomy of Melancholy! As far as I know, it’s only available in the UK at the moment. I ordered one through Abebooks last year.
I try to judge writers only on their writing, but it’s more difficult with Mr. Hyman because I think he wasn’t all that kind to his wife, Shirley Jackson, whose output of novels, short stories and humorous essays went a long way to making his own writing life more comfortable. Perhaps I’ve been misinformed.

Well that is just about the nicest thing I've heard all week - thank you.
Perfectly said. My favorite teacher of all time (American history) was just like this. More stern though!
I never get tired of a good old Brattle haul, Steve!
Darlin'!
You bully!

I haven’t been to the Brattle in ages, maybe I’ll head over on a lunch break soon as I work downtown! New visitor to your channel 😊

That Gene Wolfe find is epic!
Rarer and rarer to find these at random -

I love your videos

I stared at the George RR Martin timescape in the cabinet when I was there. It is beautiful..
You’re even watched here in China! My girlfriend asks about you if I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while!
There is indeed a black-spine Anatomy of Melancholy. It came out relatively recently.
Recently? Then ... then why didn't Penguin send it to me? Do I SMELL?
If I like Rebecca West and Cormac McCarthy, I wonder what that makes me lol. Fun video, Steve.
It makes you half-wrong!
@@saintdonoghuePfffff
Shirtless skype or not, it'll take a lot more book hauls to boost your T levels!
My low T levels are a well-known problem!
