shut up those books sound so good. I've never seriously considered picking up a murakami until I looked into Dance + you sounding cool lol. Also the penguin classics cover of songs is reason enough to buy 🤭
I really love the kind of books you read and how your personality shines through in your videos. You're so fun to watch and listen to. (And I've said this before, but you are so! gorgeous.)
@@cs0p I didn't mean that in a belittling way. You always have poignant and intelligent things to say about books and literature. And you're really charismatic. (:
Charles! Your hair! 🖤 Thank you so much for the constant new videos, king! Love the Fall and loved all your recommendations, I'm gonna go buy all of them, I want to read the things you read. Loneliness is such a profound, personal state that I know well and seek in books.
I’ve been trying to put in words the reason why I developed some sort of disdain for impressionists paintings over the years - and here’s the perfect quote to express it. Thanks, I’m a subscriber now🥹
moshfegh is so damn funny and my year is so therapeutic in its overindulgence in what we all wanna do... just take a break from life. and in the end its hopeful and encouraging: get a damn grip
I read "Out" back in the early 2000s. It took me two tries to read it, but when I finally got into it, it left a lasting impression on me as one of my favorite books. I just purchased the new cover version of it, planning on rereading it soon.
@@cs0p I tried reading her other books back when they all first came out...they weren't for me, I DNF'ed them all. But I had customers (I used to be a bookseller) who have read them and loved them. You may love them, too
First video I've watched by you and very captivating video! A lot of book list videos I skip through just to see what they are but this is very refreshing!
Great video as always. Decided to pick up Eileen and MYORAR by Moshfegh. Read about 70 pages of Eileen yesterday and really enjoying it. Spot on recommendation as per usual 🙏
@@roserising i think it’s meant to be a slow read!! the way Donna Tartt writes is with so much detail and it’s absolutely exquisite so enjoy the slow ride in the best possible way
Thank you for the recommendations! They seem perfect for that melancholy but cozy mood of fall. Im biased because its my favorite book series but i feel like Lord of the Rings is so associated with fall to me. Outside of the descriptions of the shire in the begining that makes me so happy- the story in all takes place during the end of an era in the ruins of a greater time- Its literally in the Fall of the world. Perfect fall read to me, and of course reading the hobbit near the end of summer leading into fall. Annual tradition at this point 😅
okay wow some genuinely exciting (exciting in the sense that im excited to read them) book recommendations that arent the same books always recommended in videos :oooo thanks!!! with that being said it is currently the middle of summer in australia but idc!! i will be reading :p
no cuz i hunted down that old vintage green copy of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and risked it all on a sketchy ebay seller and ill still say that crusty musty dust book was worth it
I wrote three books last year. Do try them. 1. “Meditation and Spirituality a Philosophy” Sub-titled- “A path to attain a Steady Meditative State” 2. “Spiritual Encounters” Sub- titled - “Meeting the Himalayan Yogis” 3. “Social Pandemic” Sub-titled - “A Terminally ill Modern Society”
It’s Spring here in New Zealand so will keep these in mind for March. Look forward to these. Am reading a light escape book at the moment, A dream of Italy by Nicky Pellegrino. That’s my mood at the moment
What a fabulous list!!! I very much enjoyed Horns by Joe Hill, and I really want to check out Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates and Eileen by Otessa Moshfegh!!! Your hair/hairstyle is beautiful- your set up is equally pleasing to the eyes- absolutely love it!!!!! Keep the magnificent content coming and until next time, sensational Mr. Charles!!!!! 🎉❤
ive never met someone else who has read horns!! im happy to hear you enjoyed it. you have to tell me what you think of babysitter...i need to talk to someone about it!
Eileen! I just finished it. My 2nd Moshfegh. I love that you’ve mentioned the humor. The dark, wry humor. Pecan sap update? I’m interested again in the Wilkie Collins because of your experience with it. The babysitter story - the entire conversation in that bookstore - priceless 😂. You KNOW I’m going to read Foreign Affairs. But MY GOD the font is so small in that book.
YES to Foreign Affairs. Alison Lurie renaissance, please. That's such a charming book. And Writers and Lovers is an excellent suggestion. Out is dark, in the best way. If you loved Valley of the Dolls I highly recommend Diary of a Mad Housewife by Sue Kaufman. I think almost any Anne Tyler works for fall. She's an autumn mood on her own. I've got to get to The Woman in White. It's been on my TBR too long.
!! your taste is so sexy I have added Diary to my list. Anne Tyler is very very fall. It sounds like you would really enjoy the woman in white! you'll have to read it and tell me if im right...
ooooh loved these thriller pics for fall! also Writers and Lovers was such a comforting read! something about the diner! the writing! being down and out and trying to get life together. something so small town about it. i haven't managed to get into Anne Tyler! i tried two books and just couldn't get into her! but if you know of a good place to start let a homie know!
you GET the writers and lovers vibe. on the anne tyler note...tbh you gave her a shot. I respect her hustle, but she's not my favorite either. If you ever want to be depressed about how all relationships/marriages are/feel doomed in a mundane depressing ass way.. try breathing lessons.
Omg, I feel like you select books for your videos by picking them right out of my bookshelves!! Hahaaa! I loved Eileen….I’m a little worried the movie will be a let down. Also, I adore Ann Tyler….you must read The Accidental Tourist, one of my favs…and then see the movie which was great as well. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!
i read Out because of you....and i JUST finished it and came back to this video to see if i could find some meaning in why i read it after your recommendation....because the ending lefting me feeling... a type of way. 😐😐😐
Loving Writers & Lovers while hating Misery is actually jail time hahah!!! lol no but still love your reviews and the way you talk about books. I usually agree and even when I don’t the vibes are fabulous.
Hello my name is Ana, and I recently discovered your channel and I can say that it's one of the most original channels about books that I ever come across! I saw that you love "Valley of the dolls "so I've been meaning to ask you , did you ever read "Love machine"by Jacqueline Susann? The title of the book it's not very great but the book itself it is. I read the "Valley of the dolls " its very good I also watched the movie adaptation with Sharon Tate but I don't liked at all. Did you have seen the movie? p.s My favorite book is also "The secret history " I like all three books by Donna Tartt!
The only book among your fall recommendations that I have read is Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie. I loved it and have reread it. Based on that experience I will try some of the others on your list starting with Writers & Lovers.
i know it's quite different to what u usually post + talk abt, but do u have any recommendations for books that are magical + whimsical (preferably happy-- i read too many sad books + need a change), but not full epic fantasy, more just surreal/eccentric in a slightly more ordinary way? the downside is that i have already read almost all of the translated japanese books that make me think of this sort of thing (e.g. "earthlings", "the cat who saved books", "if cats disappeared from the world", the coffee ones, etc, etc, etc), so it can't really be any of those (unless u maybe know of some incredibly obscure one, in which case, pls share with the class bitch), and i've also read + enjoyed "bunny", "piranesi", ummmmmmmm i've also read + loved a LOT of mythology retellings, but i feel like they don't quite fit into this vibe??? and i'm happy to a read a book aimed at kids/middle grade too idc as long as it's good (like ofc "percy jackson", altho i stopped at some point actually, idk why, and i also loved "the last dragon chronicles" as a kid + even now)! ps i love all of ur videos so so much! they're all different + the books actually vary!
balls! im late to the party but The Goddess Chronicle by Natsuo Kirino might be good? I haven't read it yet, but I love her writing. It's japanese and a mythology retelling! i feel like it could be a romp. kinda left field but I would die for The Mysterious Benedict Society books (and the one spinoff about Nicholas Benedict is just as great)--it's a middle grade series. ohhhh my goodness also the golden compass. ok you have homework, report back.
oooh, new hair who dis 😚 💅 now i wanna make a video like this!! i read Goat Mountain a few years ago and sheesh, THAT was bleak. i’ve been wanting to reread it because it’s the perfect fall book. the book just *feels* cold and lonely and deathly. a murder happens pretty early on, on a hunting trip, and the rest of the novel explores really dark themes of the consequences of decisions even as a child, how unconditionally should parents love and protect their kids…i dont wanna say more than that in case u wanna read it. it’s short, and so good. all ur recs are now on my tbr!! especially Out. i’ve had the same frustration recently of not liking ANYTHING ive read. all modern authors ive read recently are just awful. im also tired of character tropes, like the fucking manic pixie dream girl, the coming of age teen boy that likes her, the hot jock she likes instead, her mean popular girl foil, iykyk. i just hate all books rn. and all audiobook narrators are annoying too. cant catch a break 😂 thanks for another great video! been loving them!
How did you feel about American Psycho? I read it over the summer and I was really just unsure of how I felt in the end and what to make of it. Also, have you read any Dostoevsky? I found a bunch of cool editions of his books at Goodwill and snatched them all like the greedy wench I am. Now, I'm unsure where to begin.
I didn't know Joe Hill was Stephen King's son omg! You should definitely read "Pet Semetary" by Stephen King. Its not a niche genre of horror so you might like it. As everyone loved it😂😂
Great review! I am in the middle of John Irving's The Last Chairlift. Loving it, but I love all his work. Also by him and a good book for this time of year and my favorite of his is A Prayer for Owen Meaney. Check them out. Love your work!
Apskskd first time I see you but I felt like we were besties bc I do the same faces and expressions, I know we would be making the same eye rolls together😂😂

oooh, new hair who dis 😚 💅 now i wanna make a video like this!! i read Goat Mountain a few years ago and sheesh, THAT was bleak. i’ve been wanting to reread it because it’s the perfect fall book. the book just *feels* cold and lonely and deathly. a murder happens pretty early on, on a hunting trip, and the rest of the novel explores really dark themes of the consequences of decisions even as a child, how unconditionally should parents love and protect their kids…i dont wanna say more than that in case u wanna read it. it’s short, and so good. all ur recs are now on my tbr!! especially Out. i’ve had the same frustration recently of not liking ANYTHING ive read. all modern authors ive read recently are just awful. im also tired of character tropes, like the fucking manic pixie dream girl, the coming of age teen boy that likes her, the hot jock she likes instead, her mean popular girl foil, iykyk. i just hate all books rn. and all audiobook narrators are annoying too. cant catch a break 😂 thanks for another great video! been loving them!
lol i know what you mean. try out!! you've piqued my interest with goat mountain...
How did you feel about American Psycho? I read it over the summer and I was really just unsure of how I felt in the end and what to make of it. Also, have you read any Dostoevsky? I found a bunch of cool editions of his books at Goodwill and snatched them all like the greedy wench I am. Now, I'm unsure where to begin.
i loove bret easton ellis. I've read parts of Crime and P and enjoyed it. Start with c and p! im jealous of your hot editions.
I didn't know Joe Hill was Stephen King's son omg! You should definitely read "Pet Semetary" by Stephen King. Its not a niche genre of horror so you might like it. As everyone loved it😂😂
i was lowkey shook when i found out too. i had friends who loved pet semetary...
I have missed you so. much.
