I'm happy for you. It's amazing that you are doing what you love to do. Your channel inspires tons of people and, of course, I am one of them. Send you a big hug from Mexico!
I'm 23 and started reading as a hobby last year. Now I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez in Spanish, the original language of the novel, and it's been really tough to read eventhough Spanish is my mother tongue (I can't imagine how much harder it must be reading those classics by Dickens for example in English) I'm enjoying the process anyways.
es muy complejo con todos los Buen dia, de Marquez suelo recomendar Del amor y otros demonios, aunque la novela que estas leyendo ahora tiene una edicion hermosa de aniversario de la RAE
Great video! I really enjoy your argument and thought process throughout the video, and I'd like to leave my own thoughts on the topic. Of course, this is not to pull away from anything you've said, nor to attack you/your beliefs!! I just think that this is a really interesting argument because I process literature in a completely different way. I mainly read YA fantasy, and I feel as though I've learned more about the world and my own life within those books. Even as an adult, I find myself reaching for YA books, not to escape or reflect on my younger self, but to learn more and uncover more identities, experiences, lives. Maybe this comes from me reflecting the core ideas of those books into reality, taking the character development and themes and all the fun stuff, and analyzing it as though it were classic literature. I love classic literature, especially things from the Victorian era, but it can very difficult to have life revelations from those types of novels. That being said, I think it's beneficial to any reader to analyze genre fiction as they would classics. Pull them apart. Dig deep into what they are and find yourself and your life within those pages, and soon you might see that there's more to fantasy and dystopian than entertainment!
I like how you compared Fiction novels and blockbuster movies. I also find that in movies also you have your classics that makes you think and change you and the theatre movies that are more for entertainment. I tried to read fiction that would leave me with a deep impression and open my mind but it is kinda hard nowadays. What reigns now are thrillers full of suspense and vulgarities (in my opinion). Do you have a video of your favourite classics/recommendations?
wow ive actually just sent my resume to my local bookstore a few days ago too! been wanting to work there for a while now :0 its my dream part-time job as well
Dante's Inferno and the rest of the Divine Comedy by Dorothy Sayers. It's a rhythmic, rhyming version similar to Robert Fagles rendition of Homer's Odyssey, with chockfuls of erudition in the form of reference notes. But only absorb one book at a time if you're not in a hurry to get through the entire set. Also, read them out loud, preferably in public places -- peopled, optional. On a side note: Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman is also another book to read out loud in public.
Wow, the English language is really crazy if a good book automatically becomes that much more difficult to read, instead of becoming a pleasure for the thinking mind (which is my experience in my native language). I guess I will still try it? Wish me good luck!
Hai waldun ..books are for getting knowledge in the simplest and understandable form...then why on earth these authors make it hard for reading for average people. Is that a bad thing
when you are from an ugly neighborhood from a 3rd world country most of the time fiction isn't available for us, but classics are our way of escaping our realities...

You can tell this guy's just logging his thoughts and is taking us along the process. He's the inner intellectual we all think we have in our brains.
Just found your channel. I am a student who has lost motivation. You make me want to study again. Thank you😊
What do you study
Your passion and enthusiasm is refreshing and contagious. I know you'll go on to do big things. Thanks for making these videos
I'm happy for you. It's amazing that you are doing what you love to do.

I felt instant joy once you lifted Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics. This edition was translated by Anthony Kenny, one of my favorite philosophers.

Noted! :) Maybe I should film myself shouting those books in public.

Ha ha! I would love to see that! (Because I'd never have the guts to do it, myself.)

probably because the language, and all the references are dated
Harry Potter totally transformed my life, just saying 🤷🏻♀️😌
