    I think The Bell Jar is a really accessible classic.
    In terms of the plot, it's rough. But when it comes to actually reading and understanding the writing, I think it's something that people who aren't accustomed to classics can read easily.

    $35 seems rather expensive for books, even hardbacks - would love to see you discuss the differences in prices of books as you’ve obviously bought books in a few different countries.
    EDIT: I've just looked this up in £ and it converts to about £20 - a lot of uk hardbacks don't quite reach that - I think £18.99 is the most I've personally spent.

    • @Jeffrey.e
      @Jeffrey.e 4 года назад +17

      I'm a bookseller and we have seen a rise in the cost of books. Not sure why but brand new hardbacks have all been coming in around that $30 price point. It sucks because not a lot of people can afford that so they turn to Amazon where they can get it way cheaper (Amazon takes a loss on books because they make so much profit with other items). That's why there are fewer and fewer indie bookstores, we just can't make a living when Amazon will always beat our prices.

    • @paulinep4916
      @paulinep4916 4 года назад +7

      That's so sad! In Germany we have something called "Buchpreisbindung", which means a binding price for a book everyone. You can only get cheaper books if they're damaged or the publisher wants to get rid of some remaining stock. So small bookstores have a chance to survive against huge bookstore chains which could lower the price if they wanted to.

    That what I love about books is the cover and title are so unique and you never know what you’re going to get based off the cover and title. When I saw “before the coffee get cold” I thought it would be a romance type book. But hearing what it really about now I wanna read it. Teaches me to really pay more attention to the saying don’t read a book by the cover. Now I’m gonna start searching more based off the synopsis and not the cover bad habit that I have because I’m missing on so many amazing books
