    The romance of three kingdom!!! An absolute classic. It is so deep rooted in Chinese culture that there is no Chinese that do not know the name of this book. So many people uses references from this book without even having read it. It is definitely one of the most important book in Chinese culture. Highly recommend!

    Also totally with you on the fewer hardbacks. I only used to care about keeping my books pristine when I read way fewer books, the more I read the more my attitude just relaxed and now I'm bending them left and right, writing in them, just having a good time!

    you should *definitely* read perfume. It's absolutely outrageous and swift and bizarre and graphic and you'll probably never forget the experience of reading it. Read it 3 years ago and still think about it often. It's.... it's an experience.

    I am the same with my books. I don’t annotate, but I don’t take immaculate care of them because they’re just books. I always have a book with me, and there’s no telling what will happen. Sometimes it rains, sometimes I spill coffee, etc.

    For romance of the three kingdoms, the amount of historical reference people use even nowadays in East Asian is equivalent to Iliad/odyssey. Because we are heavily influenced already as we grow up, the more we read this the more we enjoy it, numerous characters, the rise and fail of individuals, the kingdoms etc.

    This is something I've always been meaning to comment whenever you talk about Sappho in your videos, but I'd really recommend Anne Carson's translation of Sappho, 'If Not Winter'! It comes highly recommended by one of my professors whom I took a module on Sappho with. I haven't read the Penguin translation but from what my professor said, it's not as good as Carson's.
    What I love about Carson's is how she retains the essence of Sappho's poetry whilst still making it absolutely beautiful to read in English. Would recommend if you ever wanted to read a different translation of a classic, which is something I try to do because you can always gain something new about the original work from doing so :)

  • @RossMcgowanMaths
    @RossMcgowanMaths Год назад

    I recently ran into the issue of wanting beautiful copies of books but then not wanting to annotate them. It's a strange one and goes to the very heart of what a book is for. Horizontal and vertical books on shelf for me is a major no no but I feel for you when you run out of space. Not listened to the whole video as I gotta get the kids to school, will definitely come back as you have some interesting recommendations.

    About to start crime and punishment too.. i have been digging about which translation is best - any reason why you didn’t choose the Oxford edition (since you said those are your usual favs editions) with Slater instead of Vintage (who use P &L) ?

    • @sarcastic_fish
      @sarcastic_fish  2 года назад

      Only reason is that most of my Russian lit is in vintage classics, so keeping them grouped like that

  • @pathbetweentrees
    @pathbetweentrees 2 года назад +3

    I've to keep all books by an author together, otherwise I cannot find what I own of which author. I keep my "not read" separately. Other than that just keep fiction and non-fiction separately as much as I could.

    Oh my god I found a booktuber that enjoys the classics and philosophical texts too. Oh my god!!!!! I'm ecstatic. So many booktubers are into fantasy and romance and I don't judge at all; reading is supposed to be enjoyable for everyone so if they like those books then awesome! But I don't, and just haven't found anyone that likes the books I do. This is a wonderful day.
