1) The Secret History is one of my favorite books, I hope you like it! I soooo get what you mean about books being over-recommended making me not want to read them lol because 100% same. I’m honestly so glad I stumbled upon TSH at the end of college before I got a tiktok and before booktok became what it is now bc finding it organically made it feel so special. This is making me want to reread tbh 2) The Haunting of Hill House is another of my faves lol,, I hope you enjoy that one too! I listened to it on audiobook the first time around this time of year, and it was perfect. And I do think it was the first step of me getting pretty into horror as a genre, so beware of that lol 3) congrats on starting grad school! Sounds both exciting and overwhelming and the way you’re talking about philosophy texts is reminding me that I desperately need to read more books that actually require work along with the fun easy ones. Loved this video! Such killer early autumn vibes
i’m really glad your channel came up as recommended! you have a lovely way of talking about books. i really hope you enjoy Shirley Jackson as she’s one of my favourite authors, i get on with her writing so well!
I feel like the opposite of you where I am only reading for pleasure and my brain has a hard time digesting things more complicated (like when I try to read classics) but I definitely want to do more reading in that area! Do you have any recommendations for intro classics/philosophy books to read to get my brain thinking in that way again?
calling someone’s writing “delicious” is something i will be stealing ty

The Haunting of Hill House is not very scary but it's still very well written.
