I am reading The Sentence is Death after seeing your recommendation and I LOVE it. I read Magpie Murders years ago and liked it. I want to read all 5 of the Hawthorne Horowitz series, I am hooked!
Tengo la misma (intimidante) edición de Gormenghast, y cuando lo vi en el thumbnail pensé: "el empujón definitivo para por fin empezarlo!" peeeero...no 😂. Como siempre, me encanta escuchar las recomdaciones, tan variadas que me identifico mucho con tu gusto lector!!
Jajaja no! Te lo juro Gormenghast vale la pena! Creo que hay que aprender de mis errores: no te recomiendo leerlo muy pausadamente, hay que “lanzarse” como decimos en México, sin miedo y rapidito. Ya me conozco, seguramente en un tiempo lo volveré a intentar y ya sabiendo cómo abordarlo va a ser de mis libros favoritos jaja
Good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery. I worked in Riyadh for a couple of years and soon realised there's lots you can do to warm yourself up, but very little to cool yourself down. Heat is so debilitating. I hope your weather cools down soon.
Juaaaaaaan!!! I’ll write this part of the comment in English because I saw some people in your comments saying some nonsense. 🙃 The heatwaves were insane. INSANE. (Just in case someone reads this comment, the heatwave we had in Mexico was not normal, it was an actual climate phenomenon called a heat dome. It was a climate crisis that was covered in international news channels). Anyway 🫠 Vi el título de tu video y aún antes de verlo sabía exactamente a qué te referías con el fin del mundo. Calor, elecciones, el horror. 🫠 (Yo estoy en Puebla). ¡Espero que todo salga (o haya salido), bien con tu cirugía!
@@justjuanreader Jajaja sii, al menos ya no hay que soplarse más debates. 😅 Qué bueno que todo bien con tu cirugía, espero que también mejoren las lecturas conforme avance el año
Hi Juan, it's great to see you here again. I can't stand hot weather either (I'm from the south of Spain but live now in Scotland), so I understand perfectly. Also, I could not finish Gormenghast, bored me to death. Best wishes for the shoulder surgery and a speedy recovery.
Ghormengast scares me. I own the hardcover edition but the story was not for me. It’s one of those books I respect for its beautiful descriptions, but it was not an enjoyable read. Very dense, feels like a chore to read, but one I very much respect because I know it has influenced famous writers like Gaiman and Moorcock etc
It’s so hard for those who can’t get out of the heat and don’t have A.C.and I know it’s so dangerous! I live in the valley of Los Angeles and have been here since the 1960s The weather has changed and our hot weather is hotter and longer. It is not a good thing. Ironically I am reading Dune as an escape 😳
Omg, you dnf’d Ghormengast! I can understand it being not your kind of writing, but I beg to differ about it having almost no plot. If you had kept reading you would have found it to become a page turning adventure filled with action, leading up to a thrilling finale (at least book one and two, book three is a complete letdown). I think you having put it aside for so many months could be a reason it didn’t gell with you, I think it’s a novel to read faster than that. In my opinion!! 😉 Where Ghormengast also excels in, are its crazy fantastical and funny Dickensian characters, it’s the humor of the book I appreciated very much. But that’s also a very personal thing of course. Calling it (almost) plotless however is doing this work injustice.
I totally agree, Leo! I probably shouldn’t have put it aside for that long. But now; knowing the book’s challenges, I will be able to pick it up again sometime and read it differently
Hello, sir. Several people (including children) died here this month due to the heatwave and other weather related accidents, very insensitive comment. (By the way Mexico City is not usually hot)

Can you go over "Under Heaven" by Guy Gavriel Kay?

Thank you!!
Yowza, hope things stabilize a bit moving forward. Books are such a needed refuge.
We are, indeed, screwer.
Best wishes for your surgery!!

You live in Mexico. It’s hot there. And water is wet. Weather happens get over it.
You don't need to be a cunt about it.

Your a meanie 😡
Unnecessary comment bro, this is his channel, let him vent.
