Honestly, Pewds... After years of following your career through its ups and downs and changes and whatever... This is perhaps the best thing you've ever done. Not only are you actively increasing general interest in literature, but you're actually providing us with thoughtful, insightful, and critical reviews without flaw. As a scholar of literature myself, you've always got the best perspective on these books. You're doing an incredible service here, man. Keep it all up, as always
I always followed his career whithout be very insterested by it , but now that he speaks about books and literature, PewDiePie becomes very interesting for me !
Dominic Aragon you cannot possibly tell me the Felix in this video is the same person he is when he is playing games. The person he is when he plays games is over the top and trying to be funny. The person he is here isn't trying to prove anything, just talking, sharing opinions, and reviewing books. I think this is closest to the real Felix.
@@GuitarGirl4ever Felix wrote a play called Taunting The Beast under the pen name Christina Triks...which is an anagram of Christ in a skirt. Oh, PewDiePie, you naughty devil. The play is an attack on religion and the PC culture and it makes an argument that Jews & Muslims don't exist...um...check it out before its banned...and no doubt it will be. I'm beginning to think that Felix is a bit of a troublemaker.
@@Angel-mu4wm The anime adaptation is complete garbage. Just read the novel or the manga adaptation by Usamaru Furuya. The novel is by far the best, but the manga adaptation by Usamaru Furuya is still very good.
I actually went to a lot of therapy due to being critical of myself, having a ficade in day to day encounters making sure to never give my mother a "shamed face" up until my early 20s. I broke down, couldn't wake up and keep up the fake persona, I just wanted to stay in my small apartment not having to proove myself to anyone. Decided to go to therapy and through that I learned that despite how I act that I never actually have control over someone's perception of me. I can try to manipulate their perception through a ficade but I can't control it. It was when I realized that the only thing I can control fully is myself that I finally stopped trying to be someone else. I finally found comfort in my own skin and no longer hated myself for not being what people wanted me to be. Gonna read the book Pewds.
Nathorix I honestly am only following since like 2 years or smth cause before I just didn't like watching people play (horror) games but then I gave him another chance and kinda stayed for Felix himself but I mean he also doesn't play that much anymore so

Most people know the name “Dazai Osamu” from the Bungou Stray Dogs character but allow me to give a little context to the real author. Dazai Osamu is one of the big 3 classical japanese authors. His magnum opus and last book “No Longer Human” was based on Osamu’s life of constantly being shafted by the world to be quite honest. The book is almost a huge suicide note, and we see Osamu’s fall, as he would go on to drown himself after, being his first successful suicide attempt after many attempts beforehand.
definitely the most interesting book i’d ever read. i read it after i watched “aoi bungaku” where dazai has an arc and i was so intrigued i bought the book. it really took me on a journey and made me realize a lot of things.
I just came here to look at the comments of Osamu Dazai both the author and the anime. I wish I could fine an online book of it so I can read it and I'm planning to read the other au that mentioned in Bungou stray dogs as well.(And I don't really watch the video Im just here for the comments)
Books 1. 1:04 The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart 2. 5:18 Stoner by John Williams 3. 9:17 Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky 4. 13:38 No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai 5. 18:37 Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima
Although I watch ALL of your videos, I have to say that the literature reviews are my favorites! It's sooo UNBELIEVABLY refreshing to see an intelligent discussion on "popular" RUclips. I can see the quiet enthusiasm you have for reading & it is inspiring...to say the least.
I love how you changed your tone as you review and describe how you felt reading Ningen Shikkaku/ No Longer Human and empathize with Dazai. That book is truly my favorite and, just like you, I really do think Japanese literature is superb
I never knew Felix was such a reader! Honestly I really enjoy these types of videos because I feel like I can see your true personality more. I feel like these are the types of videos that you would like to be making, rather than what people want you to make. A lot of people don’t understand that when you grow up, your personality can change and your interests can change. Anyway, I’m really proud of you putting yourself out there and honestly this kind of content is really inspiring me to do something similar with my own content. You’re inspiring me to read and to even share what I read with my viewers. Keep up the good work!
He only reads manga and comics He is simply acting like he read all the books because he doesn't have any content. These videos are all sponsored. He wouldn't have read a single book
The Chill Picture You don’t know that, you aren’t involved in his personal life. I talk about comics and anime to my friends all the time, but never books, not unless they were super good. People are more likely to read manga and comics and are able to relate to it easier than most books. If you have seen his vlogs , he has talked about it before. Plus.. he’s right, talking about books are just.. uninteresting most of the time.
I love these kinds of videos where you show a different side of you, were you're really passionate of what you're doing, instead of playing a game of 20 straight minutes which feels like you've played only for a few minutes from you sitting down and looking at the camera talking about a book/novel you've been suggested and that you've read, I'll be looking forward to see more these kinds of videos.
Its actually the same word in every language. Stoicism is a school of ancient greek philosophy. You can't refer to it in any way other than its original name.
Don't stop making the book reviews Felix, they are so great and I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the books, as well as the authors. Much love
“A good testimony of a good writer is that if you can tell a seemingly uninteresting story and captivate your reader.” -Pewdiepie I used this quote in my English class today and my teacher said that it is a good idea
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Please never stop doing them. They show a completely different side to you. It’s like we’re seeing PewDiePie the person instead of the RUclipsr if that makes sense. Like we’re just chilling in a room. Great stuff. Truly, great stuff.
No Longer Human is a legitimately incredible story, and I'm really happy to see such a large RUclipsr recommend it. It doesn't get nearly enough attention in the West, and hopefully some people decide to read it after watching this video.
Dude, ofc. It’s f8cking worth it making these vids. They’re awesome...for real. It’s very inspiring and influential too younger people like myself who aren’ t necessarily interested/engaged in litterateur. Keep up the good work dude. Btw. a nice book: Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts.
It is 100% worth it!! Clearly you enjoy it, and its not only interesting content/ valuable entertainment, it also has a positive impact in your followers (who will be more likely to read great novels thanks to you, like me). Thank you so much for taking the time to record these videos!
Dostoevsky can sometimes be boring and grim, but man, I enjoyed his works when I was younger, like The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and particularly The Possessed. He has a deep understanding of human psychology and the tragedies portrayed in his novels are in a way enjoyably comical. I find it ironic how I no longer read books and can barely watch anything longer than a sitcom.
@@buzzlightwork thats the point💀his motherhad a lot to say of what happened so its long asf. Pretty sure itll be as long as that (if not longer) in an irl setting at the time
I never read any of the books discussed, for a few reasons, but I love just hearing your thoughts on them. These videos are my favorites by far, they're like the only time where I feel completely relaxed yet entertained
Madmaniac 1. I'm always broke 2. Thanks to absentminded siblings my library card is maxed out with fines and 3. Pewds taste in books is unhealthy for me. I also find those kinds of books fascinating but more often than not they send me spiraling so I prefer fantasy where I can mentally escape.
NotATurkey dont know if you care but i really like to read books that can give you a better look in someones head. Even if it's really dark. A great writer can make it so dark but also so very realistic that sometimes it gets a bit too close. But im probably in the fase that goes like "im interested in the animal mind, human mind, how the earth works, how physics works, how the universe works." Its all just fascinating how everything works in this damn world. How this world is still functioning. I dont know but it's really fucking interesting.
I really enjoyed this video. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE your energy and personality in meme review, but I also love these really raw, semi-emotional videos about literature. Great balance.
I read all of it just a few minutes ago and damn.. I’m depressed confused and very satisfied with the book as a whole but not to much with the end. The book overall is fucking amazing.
@@gb1187 I just didn’t like how depressing it was really was but that’s basically the whole book, I just felt as if it was a bit empty though he has neither happiness and unhappiness.. well.. I guess that does make the ending empty (sorry if that made no sense)
These videos makes you even better, what else can we ask for? Your name was very sounded here in Spain lots of years ago, I probably check some of your videos in 2014, 2015 but not paying attention didn't have good English to understand and didn't care that much. it wasn't until 2016 I really decided to give this channel a go, see why it's the biggest and be curious about it and since then I just got addicted to your videos, they are something unique in youtube. Great personality, great humor every time let's be honest, yours isn't one of all those big channels that adapted the content to the youngest audience who is the most here in RUclips, thats probably why you are different. I mean its worth to watch. Gracias poods
Thank you for your book reviews - you always choose the best books, and even though I might not read ALL of them (I am working on some of them!), your comments always bring insight and thoughtfulness to the fore, and I really appreciate that. You have a good soul, Felix. Love from Vancouver, Canada.
He’s my favorite author. I would give Pushkin and Gogol a chance if I were too, some of their works have been just as impactful to me as FD. I cried at the end of Eugene Onegin. I have read many of FD’s works and honestly, I think The Idiot and White Nights are my favorites so far, but I haven’t read The Brothers Karamazov or The Possessed yet.
This video is so relaxing to watch I love this series even tho I’m not into reading it still interesting to listen to the short versions of the story’s
All the books reviewed: Book 1 - The Dice Men - 01:04 Book 2 - Stoner - 05:18 Book 3 - Crime and - 09:18 Punishment Book 4 - No Longer Human - 13:38 Book 5 - Sun and Steel - 18:38
Actually when I read No Longer Human I recall that Horiki left the room to get food from Oba's wife but then comes back to point to Oba that his wife is being molested by a neighbor shopkeeper. I don't think Horiki actually did the crime. However, I do know that in Dazai's life that his best friend did commit adultery with his wife.
But is that written on purpose or does the writer left some unintentional room for interpretation? here in Brazil we have na iconic book where the reader is left to solve/decide if there was adultery or not. there is no real answer
Uh no no! He doesn't kill the memes! People say he kills the memes and abandon the meme. The people are the one who kill the memes. Just because PewDiePie review the meme, the meme community rejects the meme.
realistically he doesnt kill any memes, good or bad. you can look on knowyourmeme or similar and itll usually show an influx of the meme after hes made a video about it.
Osamu wrote down the very feelings and emotions of isolation and loneliness I’ve had trouble putting down to words. His book resonated with me so much it saved me from Suicide. I wish he was alive long enough to know how many peoples lives he’s changed
I love these videos,it gives his channel a more sophisticated taste to his content. (Who would ever have thought Pewdiepie and sophisticated would be in the same sentence) This has gotten me into reading and I look forward into watching more of this series.
Agreed. My mom asked me "So what does pewdiepie actually do?" Instead of saying LWIAY, which I have no idea what it stands for and unsurprisingly neither does she, I can say "Book review channel ;)"
The last page of no longer human was just so painful, he was an angel to the people around him but a demon to himself, i closed the book trembling with emotion and cried so hard
@@grimoplaywakfupcgame6622yepp after watching his video yesterday I decided to read the book myself today and I will say the last page killed me the emptiness I'm feeling right now is not explainable
A lot of people criticize the content that Pewds makes, but this is by far the most intriguing content I've seen from Felix in a long time, if not ever. The reviews are taken to a personal level and that really fascinates me and it is highly inspiring. The novels sound great, and Felix's philosophical responses and conclusions of the books really connect with audience members on a personal level. Well done, Felix.
You honestly reminded me how much i love reading and how much i love books! The way that you described all these novels , you can tell that you are enjoying reading them and reviewing them to us :) I will for sure check these out , thank you ^_^
Ohh, so Dazai [he has the Ability that called "No longer human"] of Bungou Stray Dogs (Anime) is based on the real book and author as well. I would like to read that book too.
Yes. And other characters too! for example, Atsushi Nakajima [Sangetsuki] Doppo Kunikida [Doppo ginkaku] Ryunosuke Akutagawa [Rasyoumon] In Japan, these are the novels that are famous enough to appear in textbooks.
The Crime and Punishment is a really good book. It was included in my literature classes, since I studied in Russia, and it still remaines to be one of my favourites. Dostoevsky is really good at describing psychological state through different things, such as landscapes and others. I think this is the reason why I enjoyed this book so much, because it truly gives you opportunity to feel mentally sick. I think it is the statement of the Dostoevsky's talent. Btw am I the only one who noticed that Crime and Punishment a bit reminds of Death Note?
German Voidz you're not wrong. I read it long before I even heard about Death Note, but whilst watching it I realized the second half of the anime made me really uncomfortable and sad for the main character.
It was good, but personally for me it was SUPER stressful. Like I was panicking for himxp Maybe That's how the author wanted the reader to feel and understand the protagonist.
Veronica Escalera i felt the same and that, in my opinion, is the best aspect of the book. I can understand why some people couldn't enjoy it as well, this book really takes you out of your comfort zone.
I just wanna talk about something serious and important recently. If anyone of you has a friend who is in jail, or went there. Some of those people may be in great isolation from others, all day more than 8 hours, your only contact is with the guard who brings your meals. Then nothing. In a foreign country, any reading material they might have is in another language, and may be difficult to understand, or impossible to read. If anyone knows a friend who went to jail, specially if they are in another foreign country.. there are 2 things that could save their life, that you may not know. 1. is if you personally bought and brought them books. 2. is if you contacted the embassy on their behalf, and asked them to please bring some books for your friend. My whole point is if you do not have contact with someone in a jail/prison/detention cell, for an extended period of time.. it is easy to go crazy. One thing could save these people.. books. So if you know someone, please physically bring them a book. Or I guess you could send used books to a local jail. The point is in this case, books actually do save lives. I know because I experienced this. I was held for what seemed an eternity, but was actually only 30+ days, eventually the US embassy came, they brought me books, and this one thing alone saved me. I will never forget it. Please do the same for a friend if you can.
Letters are good too. Even if you don't feel like you have anything of interest to say. I don't lead a particularly exciting life (when things are going well anyway) so I often just report some news, write about my thoughts, describe weird dreams I've had etc. Pretty much anything is more exciting than jail (in the best case scenario anyway). Inmates make great pen-pals (they usually have to pay for stamps as far as I know so throwing even a couple of dollars on their books helps facilitate communication (among other things). Even if you don't personally know anyone in jail there are websites you can go to that will help you navigate the process and find an inmate who wants someone to write to. I'd imagine that the vast majority do though so you can even just go directly to the website of a correctional facility and randomly pick someone off of the inmate roster. It's fun for you and might mean the world to them. And if youre an artist its a cool way to practice and get feedback and they get some neat art :p
I just read No Longer Human. I definitely have a façade, though I don't work as hard to maintain it as Oba. This book made me re-evaluate my interactions with people. It is a very sad book, but also strangely cathartic. I feel so bad for Oba. Glad to see you read it too, Pewds.
T H E L U N A R G U Y no I’m serious these are so calm and so different from the other videos, I really like this and I wish he made more of these videos
I adore Stoner. I think about it so often. There's so much hope in the book. It could so easily have been nihilistic BS in the hands of a lesser writer but it's so moving. It's about love in all forms. A love that isn't dependent on happiness that even in the absence of happiness (and in the total lack of marital love) is fulfilling and keeps a fire burning. Love for his daughter, love for literature, and living life heroically. I can't emphasize how much I fucking love that book. I don't know where you're getting these recommendations from, Pewds, but your literature club episodes blow 90% of book channels out of the water. Solid books.
Felix, because of your book review series I've taken genuine interest in literature. I enjoy reading and being engulfed in what I'm reading, but I'm coming from John Green books and other romance novels. I wanna broaden my genres and start reading books that I'm too scared to look into. Mind if you could give me some recommendations for an amateur? I would appreciate it so much, thank you Felix.
I'd recommend *I Am Legend* by Richard Matheson, Felix talked about it in an earlier episode of this series. It's pretty short and, I think, engaging all the way through, making it easy for someone, despite being unaccustomed to the genre, to get through it.
Read Gatsby if you didn’t read it in high school. It’s very short, has lots of romantic conflict, and is considered one of the greatest novels of all time for a reason.
Helena Mariano The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, you can up it a notch with 1984, Perfume, A Handmaids Tale
IDK if this is weird to say or not but I realized that you read as a third person seemingly with ease, where as I see most people insert themselves into the story somehow. I think its cool that you can separate yourself from the story and observe it from an outsiders perspective without succumbing to a level of transference with the fictional characters. Just one of the many reasons why I enjoy your book reviews. Kudos Pewds.
I would suggest *Knut Hamsun's **_Hunger_* (Norwegian: _Sult)._ The main character is a starving artist in Oslo, and in some ways is quite similar to Raskolnikov from _Crime and Punishment._
Sabina Lozanciuc I've read Dostoyevsky "crime and punishment " and a short book in two parts - note from a cellar (read it in my language) and " the idiot" I've seen as a play. I hear "the brother Karamazov" is also good
I have "Crime and Punishment" on my shelf, definitely will get to it. Now I read "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, and I like it. I would say that all the Russian classics are dope. Thank you for suggestions.
I love this series so much, it actually makes me want to join an actual book club. Also, speaking about suggesting books, I think, conside you enjoyed Dostojewski, you can enjoy another Russian author, this time Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita.' Also I think 'Book without the title' by Anonym would be good as well.
The Master and Margarita is truly brilliant! I've read it twice at different times of my life and it seemed like two different books to me. Would've been interesting to hear Pewds' thoughts on it :)
I don’t know if you know this book or not Pewds, but there is this book called “ This Book Loves You “ totally changed my life! It made me a better person and taught me how to respect wahmen!
I'll admit, I first picked up No Longer Human because I was watching Bungo Stray Dogs and I wanted to learn more about the man behind Dazai's character and I think it was one of the best choices I've ever made. The story is written in such a unique and beautiful way compared to other books that I've read. The way that Dazai describes how Oba feels is so raw and unfiltered yet eloquent and meaningful. Plus, for me personally, there are some segments of the book and Oba's character that I can really relate to in a way that I've never seen done in any other works that I've read. Especially regarding anxiety, putting on a mask, and desperately trying to please those around him to fit in. Of course there are also many parts of his character that I can't relate to (and I'm thankful for that) such as depression and suicide, but it was eye opening to get a glimpse into how it may feel to have these conditions. It really gave me a new outlook on both myself internally, how I project myself externally, and how others may do the same. Overall it was an amazing read that really touched my soul (and crushed it at times lol). As soon as I finished it I knew it would be my new favorite book and honestly it's one of the best books that I've read in a hot minute. I could probably talk about this book for hours if the person listening just let me ramble and put all of my thoughts out there
His other series may be RUclips’s favourite. But his book club videos, honestly my favourite. Any time pewds gets serious and talks about things he enjoys, such as the Blame manga, or things he dislikes I am completely sucked in
Dostoevsky is a genius, his world is interesting. He's a prophet, he sees our world and our problems that was able to predict back in the mid-19th century.He sees people in depth, and reaches to the core. It helps to see others and yourself on an emotional level, and the problems of society, progress, freedom -on the spiritual and intellectual. This great writer was a profound psychologist. Read his books. They show such a depth of penetration into the human soul, which did not dream of modern psychotherapists.

I don't get why Felix worries about making the video too long. Dude make it 2+ hours and I'll watch all of it
Don't "most" try to keep it around 10 minutes because of the revenue being more if the video is 10 mins++?
Ill watch it twice.

12 HOUR LIVESTREAM!
I love how you changed your tone as you review and describe how you felt reading Ningen Shikkaku/ No Longer Human and empathize with Dazai. That book is truly my favorite and, just like you, I really do think Japanese literature is superb
You talk about these books so passionately that I'm inspired to start reading again

I feel like these are the types of videos that you would like to be making, rather than what people want you to make. A lot of people don’t understand that when you grow up, your personality can change and your interests can change. Anyway, I’m really proud of you putting yourself out there and honestly this kind of content is really inspiring me to do something similar with my own content. You’re inspiring me to read and to even share what I read with my viewers. Keep up the good work!
He only reads manga and comics
He is simply acting like he read all the books because he doesn't have any content. These videos are all sponsored. He wouldn't have read a single book
The Chill Picture You don’t know that, you aren’t involved in his personal life. I talk about comics and anime to my friends all the time, but never books, not unless they were super good. People are more likely to read manga and comics and are able to relate to it easier than most books. If you have seen his vlogs , he has talked about it before. Plus.. he’s right, talking about books are just.. uninteresting most of the time.
Is this some sort of a joke? @chill picture
lel you havent been watching most of his oldest videos have you? And also why would you publish your own book when you dont even like to read?
same sicsen
I love these kinds of videos where you show a different side of you, were you're really passionate of what you're doing, instead of playing a game of 20 straight minutes which feels like you've played only for a few minutes from you sitting down and looking at the camera talking about a book/novel you've been suggested and that you've read, I'll be looking forward to see more these kinds of videos.
100% agree.

Don’t doubt yourself. The way you speak of the books that you’ve read is intelligent and thought out. Good job and thanks for your thoughts.
I love how pewds can’t figure out “overlook” and then turns around and uses “stoicism”
Sydney Shingle I thought that too
Probably cause it's just the same word in swedish.
Its actually the same word in every language. Stoicism is a school of ancient greek philosophy. You can't refer to it in any way other than its original name.
almost every language yeah, you made a good point.
Literal translation of overlook is “oversee” in Swedish, easy mistake 🤷♀️
Bring back book review 2019!!! Like if agree
YES!

They show a completely different side to you. It’s like we’re seeing PewDiePie the person instead of the RUclipsr if that makes sense. Like we’re just chilling in a room.

Your words make me think. Thanks! (I think...)
No Longer Human is a legitimately incredible story, and I'm really happy to see such a large RUclipsr recommend it. It doesn't get nearly enough attention in the West, and hopefully some people decide to read it after watching this video.
Dude, ofc. It’s f8cking worth it making these vids. They’re awesome...for real. It’s very inspiring and influential too younger people like myself who aren’ t necessarily interested/engaged in litterateur. Keep up the good work dude. Btw. a nice book: Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts.

Do you go to Apollo high school?
Dostoevsky can sometimes be boring and grim, but man, I enjoyed his works when I was younger, like The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and particularly The Possessed. He has a deep understanding of human psychology and the tragedies portrayed in his novels are in a way enjoyably comical. I find it ironic how I no longer read books and can barely watch anything longer than a sitcom.
I read the letter calmly and easily. In fact, the letter is not that long.
boring and grim? come on, Crime and Punishment couldn't have ended on a more positive note.
social media
@@buzzlightwork thats the point💀his motherhad a lot to say of what happened so its long asf. Pretty sure itll be as long as that (if not longer) in an irl setting at the time
Try audio books and spend less time on social media and games
I never read any of the books discussed, for a few reasons, but I love just hearing your thoughts on them. These videos are my favorites by far, they're like the only time where I feel completely relaxed yet entertained
NotATurkey what are the few reasons?
Madmaniac 1. I'm always broke 2. Thanks to absentminded siblings my library card is maxed out with fines and 3. Pewds taste in books is unhealthy for me. I also find those kinds of books fascinating but more often than not they send me spiraling so I prefer fantasy where I can mentally escape.
NotATurkey I absolutely love fantasy books. Preferably Medieval Fantasy.
NotATurkey dont know if you care but i really like to read books that can give you a better look in someones head. Even if it's really dark. A great writer can make it so dark but also so very realistic that sometimes it gets a bit too close. But im probably in the fase that goes like "im interested in the animal mind, human mind, how the earth works, how physics works, how the universe works." Its all just fascinating how everything works in this damn world. How this world is still functioning. I dont know but it's really fucking interesting.
I really enjoyed this video. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE your energy and personality in meme review, but I also love these really raw, semi-emotional videos about literature. Great balance.
I think your book reviews are now my favourite series.
same I'D WATCH A NEW ONE everyday if there was the chance, but I get it's humanly impossible so //sad//
I bought No Longer Human because of this. It's my favorite book to this day. Thank you pewds.
same :')
I read all of it just a few minutes ago and damn.. I’m depressed confused and very satisfied with the book as a whole but not to much with the end. The book overall is fucking amazing.
@@jasmentea7444 i actually really liked the end
@@gb1187 I just didn’t like how depressing it was really was but that’s basically the whole book, I just felt as if it was a bit empty though he has neither happiness and unhappiness.. well.. I guess that does make the ending empty (sorry if that made no sense)

Your name was very sounded here in Spain lots of years ago, I probably check some of your videos in 2014, 2015 but not paying attention didn't have good English to understand and didn't care that much. it wasn't until 2016 I really decided to give this channel a go, see why it's the biggest and be curious about it and since then I just got addicted to your videos, they are something unique in youtube. Great personality, great humor every time let's be honest, yours isn't one of all those big channels that adapted the content to the youngest audience who is the most here in RUclips, thats probably why you are different. I mean its worth to watch. Gracias poods

Thank you for your book reviews - you always choose the best books, and even though I might not read ALL of them (I am working on some of them!), your comments always bring insight and thoughtfulness to the fore, and I really appreciate that. You have a good soul, Felix. Love from Vancouver, Canada.
oldmoviemusic How dare you be positive in a RUclips comment section. Screw you dude
Dostoevsky is hands down the best author imo.
I share your opinion! Somehow all of his books i've read so far were each a journey and changed me a bit (Crime and punishment by far the most)
Mambutu O'Malley totally!
True it changed my view on some things, like nietschze did
I really like him alot
He’s my favorite author. I would give Pushkin and Gogol a chance if I were too, some of their works have been just as impactful to me as FD. I cried at the end of Eugene Onegin. I have read many of FD’s works and honestly, I think The Idiot and White Nights are my favorites so far, but I haven’t read The Brothers Karamazov or The Possessed yet.

Same, i'm into this
I agree! I'm not reading any of the books, I just like the sound of his voice in this videos XD
Actually when I read No Longer Human I recall that Horiki left the room to get food from Oba's wife but then comes back to point to Oba that his wife is being molested by a neighbor shopkeeper. I don't think Horiki actually did the crime. However, I do know that in Dazai's life that his best friend did commit adultery with his wife.
I'm glad someone finally pointed it out. he misunderstood that part
I can see how can misunderstood that tho
yesss. tru. Plus Dazai's body was discovered on his 39th birthday not 49
But is that written on purpose or does the writer left some unintentional room for interpretation? here in Brazil we have na iconic book where the reader is left to solve/decide if there was adultery or not. there is no real answer
@@720pchannel O autor deixa claro que o adultério (estupro, na verdade) aconteceu, não é como em Dom Casmurro.
Helping books, killing memes. Your doing god's work pewdiepie.
Uh no no! He doesn't kill the memes! People say he kills the memes and abandon the meme. The people are the one who kill the memes. Just because PewDiePie review the meme, the meme community rejects the meme.
Someone you dont have to defend your lord and savior do seriously over a joke man. especially not in the same way that he jokingly defends himself
realistically he doesnt kill any memes, good or bad. you can look on knowyourmeme or similar and itll usually show an influx of the meme after hes made a video about it.
This is the first time I’ve watched a book review but I REALLY enjoyed it. Please continue making them. I will be reading No Longer Human.

Agreed. My mom asked me "So what does pewdiepie actually do?" Instead of saying LWIAY, which I have no idea what it stands for and unsurprisingly neither does she, I can say "Book review channel ;)"

Yes and now Ito adapted it
Turtle Anton Have you read it? What do you think?
A lot of people criticize the content that Pewds makes, but this is by far the most intriguing content I've seen from Felix in a long time, if not ever. The reviews are taken to a personal level and that really fascinates me and it is highly inspiring. The novels sound great, and Felix's philosophical responses and conclusions of the books really connect with audience members on a personal level. Well done, Felix.
not even joking I love this relaxful content
You honestly reminded me how much i love reading and how much i love books! The way that you described all these novels , you can tell that you are enjoying reading them and reviewing them to us :) I will for sure check these out , thank you ^_^

Why Are We Still Here? Just To Suffer?
I love these book reviews. Don't stop making them
Petition for pewds to make another 🅱️ook review
The Crime and Punishment is a really good book. It was included in my literature classes, since I studied in Russia, and it still remaines to be one of my favourites. Dostoevsky is really good at describing psychological state through different things, such as landscapes and others. I think this is the reason why I enjoyed this book so much, because it truly gives you opportunity to feel mentally sick. I think it is the statement of the Dostoevsky's talent. Btw am I the only one who noticed that Crime and Punishment a bit reminds of Death Note?
damn I need to read that
German Voidz you're not wrong. I read it long before I even heard about Death Note, but whilst watching it I realized the second half of the anime made me really uncomfortable and sad for the main character.
It was good, but personally for me it was SUPER stressful. Like I was panicking for himxp Maybe That's how the author wanted the reader to feel and understand the protagonist.
Veronica Escalera i felt the same and that, in my opinion, is the best aspect of the book. I can understand why some people couldn't enjoy it as well, this book really takes you out of your comfort zone.
I literally just finished that book last weekend.
*You need to write a book and review it here*

We should send him books we write
He did write a book. ‘This Book Loves You’. Now he just needs to review it.
I'm pretty sure he did write a book
Hahahah yeah!
I just wanna talk about something serious and important recently. If anyone of you has a friend who is in jail, or went there. Some of those people may be in great isolation from others, all day more than 8 hours, your only contact is with the guard who brings your meals. Then nothing. In a foreign country, any reading material they might have is in another language, and may be difficult to understand, or impossible to read. If anyone knows a friend who went to jail, specially if they are in another foreign country.. there are 2 things that could save their life, that you may not know. 1. is if you personally bought and brought them books. 2. is if you contacted the embassy on their behalf, and asked them to please bring some books for your friend. My whole point is if you do not have contact with someone in a jail/prison/detention cell, for an extended period of time.. it is easy to go crazy. One thing could save these people.. books. So if you know someone, please physically bring them a book. Or I guess you could send used books to a local jail. The point is in this case, books actually do save lives. I know because I experienced this. I was held for what seemed an eternity, but was actually only 30+ days, eventually the US embassy came, they brought me books, and this one thing alone saved me. I will never forget it. Please do the same for a friend if you can.
sensual heretic that was one helluva movie tho
K
Also make sure the books are paperback
Letters are good too. Even if you don't feel like you have anything of interest to say. I don't lead a particularly exciting life (when things are going well anyway) so I often just report some news, write about my thoughts, describe weird dreams I've had etc. Pretty much anything is more exciting than jail (in the best case scenario anyway). Inmates make great pen-pals (they usually have to pay for stamps as far as I know so throwing even a couple of dollars on their books helps facilitate communication (among other things). Even if you don't personally know anyone in jail there are websites you can go to that will help you navigate the process and find an inmate who wants someone to write to. I'd imagine that the vast majority do though so you can even just go directly to the website of a correctional facility and randomly pick someone off of the inmate roster. It's fun for you and might mean the world to them. And if youre an artist its a cool way to practice and get feedback and they get some neat art :p
too long didnt read
I just read No Longer Human. I definitely have a façade, though I don't work as hard to maintain it as Oba. This book made me re-evaluate my interactions with people. It is a very sad book, but also strangely cathartic. I feel so bad for Oba. Glad to see you read it too, Pewds.

I love this. We need more Felix just being Felix content.
Kensworth Same bro. As a RUclipsr it makes me happy to see someone just be themselves and not someone they are not.
I adore Stoner. I think about it so often. There's so much hope in the book. It could so easily have been nihilistic BS in the hands of a lesser writer but it's so moving. It's about love in all forms. A love that isn't dependent on happiness that even in the absence of happiness (and in the total lack of marital love) is fulfilling and keeps a fire burning. Love for his daughter, love for literature, and living life heroically. I can't emphasize how much I fucking love that book. I don't know where you're getting these recommendations from, Pewds, but your literature club episodes blow 90% of book channels out of the water. Solid books.
I love book review

READ MY NAME ===[]
Felix, because of your book review series I've taken genuine interest in literature. I enjoy reading and being engulfed in what I'm reading, but I'm coming from John Green books and other romance novels. I wanna broaden my genres and start reading books that I'm too scared to look into. Mind if you could give me some recommendations for an amateur? I would appreciate it so much, thank you Felix.
If you like romance, you can start with *Norweigan Wood* by Haruki Murakami.
I'd recommend *I Am Legend* by Richard Matheson, Felix talked about it in an earlier episode of this series. It's pretty short and, I think, engaging all the way through, making it easy for someone, despite being unaccustomed to the genre, to get through it.
Read Gatsby if you didn’t read it in high school. It’s very short, has lots of romantic conflict, and is considered one of the greatest novels of all time for a reason.
also **Anna Karenina** is a thing
Helena Mariano The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, you can up it a notch with 1984, Perfume, A Handmaids Tale
Wtf this video was so relaxing...

For example Naomi is actually the name of tanizaki's book:)
@@agata8367 yess!! I am researching BSD and noting down all the authors and their works
IDK if this is weird to say or not but I realized that you read as a third person seemingly with ease, where as I see most people insert themselves into the story somehow. I think its cool that you can separate yourself from the story and observe it from an outsiders perspective without succumbing to a level of transference with the fictional characters. Just one of the many reasons why I enjoy your book reviews. Kudos Pewds.
I think your "observation" that most people can't read in the third person is woefully uninformed.
@@TheRockerX this may sound cheesy but how do you read in third person ?
I would suggest *Knut Hamsun's **_Hunger_* (Norwegian: _Sult)._ The main character is a starving artist in Oslo, and in some ways is quite similar to Raskolnikov from _Crime and Punishment._
Can we get a bonus book?

"The Idiot" by Dostoievski is a masterpiece
Sabina Lozanciuc I've read Dostoyevsky "crime and punishment " and a short book in two parts - note from a cellar (read it in my language) and " the idiot" I've seen as a play. I hear "the brother Karamazov" is also good
I have "Crime and Punishment" on my shelf, definitely will get to it. Now I read "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, and I like it. I would say that all the Russian classics are dope. Thank you for suggestions.
After the first time I read it I was literally sick for a week. Recommended.

@@sabinalozanciuc most russian literature is amazing, unless if it’s by Nabokov
WIth two reads, one book dies...this is the core of the Book Review.
I love this series so much, it actually makes me want to join an actual book club. Also, speaking about suggesting books, I think, conside you enjoyed Dostojewski, you can enjoy another Russian author, this time Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita.' Also I think 'Book without the title' by Anonym would be good as well.
The Master and Margarita is truly brilliant! I've read it twice at different times of my life and it seemed like two different books to me. Would've been interesting to hear Pewds' thoughts on it :)
Yes he needs to read ‘The Master and Margarita’
I don’t know if you know this book or not Pewds, but there is this book called “ This Book Loves You “ totally changed my life!
It made me a better person and taught me how to respect wahmen!
Electron Gaming Yeahhh that book is great. I dont know who made it though.. who was is? P-p-p its in the tip of my tounge
I think it was made by Pewdiecake, is it not?
Juicy Pear yeah I’m pretty sure that’s the author
no i believe it was written by Stephen king.
I thought it was written by brad. That man is so artistic.
I'll admit, I first picked up No Longer Human because I was watching Bungo Stray Dogs and I wanted to learn more about the man behind Dazai's character and I think it was one of the best choices I've ever made. The story is written in such a unique and beautiful way compared to other books that I've read. The way that Dazai describes how Oba feels is so raw and unfiltered yet eloquent and meaningful. Plus, for me personally, there are some segments of the book and Oba's character that I can really relate to in a way that I've never seen done in any other works that I've read. Especially regarding anxiety, putting on a mask, and desperately trying to please those around him to fit in. Of course there are also many parts of his character that I can't relate to (and I'm thankful for that) such as depression and suicide, but it was eye opening to get a glimpse into how it may feel to have these conditions. It really gave me a new outlook on both myself internally, how I project myself externally, and how others may do the same. Overall it was an amazing read that really touched my soul (and crushed it at times lol). As soon as I finished it I knew it would be my new favorite book and honestly it's one of the best books that I've read in a hot minute. I could probably talk about this book for hours if the person listening just let me ramble and put all of my thoughts out there

His other series may be RUclips’s favourite.
But his book club videos, honestly my favourite.
Any time pewds gets serious and talks about things he enjoys, such as the Blame manga, or things he dislikes I am completely sucked in

Dostoevsky is a genius, his world is interesting. He's a prophet, he sees our world and our problems that was able to predict back in the mid-19th century.He sees people in depth, and reaches to the core. It helps to see others and yourself on an emotional level, and the problems of society, progress, freedom -on the spiritual and intellectual. This great writer was a profound psychologist. Read his books. They show such a depth of penetration into the human soul, which did not dream of modern psychotherapists.
hi i have never read any of his books..would you recommend one of his books?
