Hey, I just stumbled upon your channel and immediately hit that subscribe button! I’ve been watching a few of your videos and I’m honestly loving the content. You have such a great vibe, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into your work. Can’t wait to see more! Keep up the amazing work!
Wonderful list! Hooray for Beowulf and Frankenstein! I’m planning to read Left Hand of Darkness next year, and I’m still waiting for my interlibrary loan for Clarice Lispector. I need to check out The Bronte sisters someday! 😅
Hey Johanna, so happy that you're going to read Clarice! The Brontes are worth your time, definitively check them out when you get a chance. Thank you for watching xoxo
Hi Emily! There are so many cool books here. What you said about Jane Austen and her dialect is spot-on! Her voice comes through the pages so memorably! I really need to read Mansfield Park sometime.
Lots of good stuff here. You have me intrigued by The Marble Faun. I love Rome. I must read a second book by Machado de Assis. I was delighted by The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas but haven't got to another.
i've been meaning to read the shadow of the wind for such a long time! and thanks for introducing me to barren lives -- i am adding to my monstrous list of things to read :)
Yes, I love all the Brontë sisters also, & it's great to see Anne getting some clean air. Whose translations of Virgil & 'Beowulf' did you read? I love the Robert Fagels free-verse translation of Virgil, & the Seamus Heaney alliterative verse translation of 'Beowulf' - they are great joys. Ah, I am very drawn to magical realism, but I haven't read 'Barren Lives', I will search it out. Thanks for this spotlight. And, thanks for another very fun & engaging video, marvellous.
I have dual-language editions; of Vergil's translated by Joshua W.D. Smith, and of Beowulf translated by Howell D. Chickering, Jr. Will keep your thoughts in mind about the translations! Thank you for watching xoxo
@@apoetreadstowrite The Old English text is on one side, and his modern English poetic translation is on the other. Additionally, he provides a prose summary as part of his commentary and analysis to help readers follow the story.
I finished The Hunchback of Notre-Dame a few days ago, and I loved it! It is now another favorite book of mine (my favorite books are an ever-expanding list 😆) , and I am determined to read Les Miserables some day. Victor Hugo has the ability to make me laugh and cry within a span of five minutes. Anna Karenina is my next read. I haven't started it yet, but I am in anticipation to read my first Tolstoy. Also, have you read All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr? It is a beautifully written novel set during WWll, and my favorite book of all time. I am sure that it will become a modern classic. If you haven't read it, that would be a wonderful book to add to your TBR!
Hi, I had my moment with French Literature a couple years ago; love Hugo, Proust and de Beauvoir. I liked Anna Karenina but my favorite is War and Peace. Thanks for the recommendation, I've had Doerr on my tbr for a while hopefully will get to it soon. Thank you for watching
Perfect company for me as I’m making tacos! Well Swedish style tacos with vegan chicken, but tacos for short ^^ Very cool and insane to write every sentence with 11 syllables, I bet it sounds fantastic read aloud. With the Italian melody as well
Ciao, Emily! Oh boy! I'm gonna read Lavinia as soon as I get to The Aeneid. Someday, I'll have a dog. Aeneas will be a possible name 🐶. Just curious. Do you know any good Argentinian authors? I'm taking an interest since I learned I have long lost family down there 😮. I'll explain more in a future video. ✌️😃
Hola Albert! Aeneas is a great dog name. I can't say I l know a lot of Argentinian writers, I think I've only read two: Borges and Cortazar. Cool that you have family down there!
The Marble Faun is pretty amazing, and such a sensual (even strange) book for an American of that time, with Puritan roots, to have written at all---or perhaps his roots themselves create the intense conflicts in the novel between sensual freedom and morality. It somewhat anticipates Henry James. (You MUST read Henry James, if you haven't already!!!) Yes, one of my favorites. Hawthorne's other novels and stories are wonderful too. You can visit some of his writing rooms in Concord, Mass.--worth a visit (the American equivalent of Weimar!).

I love how much your passion always comes through ☺️
Thank you! 😊 Enjoy your last days in Paris
Like 118. Wonderful! Thanks for the classics - friend!
Thank you for watching!
I just came across your channel and subscribed. Several of the books you discussed very much align with the type of books I enjoy reading.
Great list! I'm excited to see someone else gushing over The Marble Faun. It was one of my favorite reads a few years back.
The prose is simply sublime. Thank you for stopping by xoxo
Lispector is on my list of 'must-reads' for next year! I've heard enough praise for her from you and Ruben that it feels like a requirement
Yay! Love that for you, thanks for watching xoxo

Oh I love this! I’ve read a few off this list but now I’m thinking it’s time for a reread- thank you so much for putting this out! ❄️
Oh thank you so much xoxo

Hi, I know right, it's great when authors have their own unique style! Thanks for watching
Not read a lot of these so thanks for the reviews Emily. Best wishes and happy reading!
Thank you for watching! You too and happy bookmas!
Lots of good stuff here. You have me intrigued by The Marble Faun. I love Rome. I must read a second book by Machado de Assis. I was delighted by The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas but haven't got to another.
The Marble Faun is just good vibes lol. But you should definitely carry on with Machado's realist trilogy.
This is a fantastic list! We have some overlap in our best-of-year lists.
So cool that you lived in Rome!
I agree that Beowulf feels alive.
Jane Austen always makes everyone's list! Thanks for watching buddy xoxo

I think you’ll love Graciliano Ramos and Ruiz Zafón-they write so beautifully. Can’t wait for your next December Shortie Bundle video!
Love all the Brontës. I’ve read all their books and am working my way through them again. They’re so much fun.
Hi, yes they are. Just subbed to your channel, I think we've done the same Christmas tag! Thanks for watching

@@TheLinguistsLibrary: Interesting, I should search this work out, sounds fabulous. It would be interesting to read alongside the Heaney treatment.
@@apoetreadstowrite Sure, I think you enjoy his commentary, and it will be fun to compare
Probably the best channel for bibliotaphs like me.🤗
Oh thank you so much for saying that!
I recently came across a new edition of Quincas at a local book store & thought of you. At some point I'll pick it up.
I can't wait for you to try Machado, he's so unique! Thanks for watching xoxo

Emily you have such a good taste in books📚❤
Thank you!
The book so thick! Awesome 😊

Oh boy! I'm gonna read Lavinia as soon as I get to The Aeneid.

Just curious. Do you know any good Argentinian authors? I'm taking an interest since I learned I have long lost family down there 😮. I'll explain more in a future video.

Just finished Wuthering Heights, got Jane Eyre lined up next and then the Tenant of Wildfell Hall will surely come!
Exciting! I wonder which will end up being your favorite and why...thanks for watching xoxo
