Shelf Tour 6: Ghosts of Seattle past

Hey everybody! For some reason this one got uploaded weird. Actually I know the reason. I meant to schedule the upload but I didn't, I just made it immediately public. So it went live before the video it was supposed to follow. My fix is that I'm changing this one to episode 6 and changing the monopoly box one to be episode 7.
Please enjoy and let me know in the comments how you feel / what you think / what you're reading!

"Krapp's Last Tape" was my first Beckett. I was a teenager. I loved it.
Tobias Smollet's translation of "Don Quixote" is the one I first read as a kid and is the one I am most attached to; I first read it in a B&N paperback and it introduced me to Gustave Dore's illustrations. I read Putnam's last year and have never laughed so hard. Putnam's is very good.

I plan to reread Krapp’s soon!
Thanks for the Putnam rec
Glad to have you on team Smollett!

Yes, Dazai will make you sad. That's how you know it's literature.
The characters in his fiction are a mess, he himself redefined "trainwreck". But his novels, short stories, and autobiographical essays are worth it.
