Really. We didn't notice.
Are you planning to focus on James Joyce in the future? I imagine you are a fan, but I have not heard you mention him on here.
Also, would you consider doing a video on David Foster Wallace’s style of humor?
I think that he talked a bit about Ulysses in an old video doing a tierlist of various classics.

If I remember well, in 35:23 he talks a little bit about Ulysses in this video (among many other classics)
"This guy has no life. All he does is make two timeless authors more accessible to thousands of people. What's the deal with that?"
😂😂😂😂
*humility ('humbleness' is not a word) You are a 'powertalker.' It's very listenable. Thanks, keep up the good work
I love the thumbnail because there’s a famous clip of bill burr saying how he had DFW as a professor and talks about he doesn’t read and wasn’t as enthused, very fitting of burrs character.
Love your channel. Yes. DFW and William Gaddis are why I became a writer, a non-fiction writer. I have published over a hundred essays on Substack and have hundreds of followers. I'd love to publish them as a book. It's so competitive out there.
Hey, I have two questions. Do you have any Don Delillo material? And the second, do you have any videos on teaching English?
who are some of those twenty writers you plan to start being the content guy for? (just so i know who to read more avidly soon)
Will you also be the headquarters of all things James Ellroy here on RUclips?
You should make a patreon and do long form DFW lectures, then expand your channel to cover more authors and artists. I would love to hear your thoughts on James Blake or Stephen King’s “on writing”. Theres novice writers scouring RUclips for good content on all sorts of topics. It’s thirsty out here in Sante Fe!
As a fellow New Mexican I second this comment
This the most meta video on this channel

Ya, we look at these people and we want to be admired like them. I could say a billion things about this... but I remember watching Lady Gaga perform a song on RUclips. I could see the audience, and I thought: "How is it even possible for those little girls to not want to be her?" The desire to be admired like someone famous came across as so apparent on watching that video. The reason I mention it is because of how extreme that feeling is for young humans, and therefore how conditioning it is for us as humans. The audience is mainly 7 and 8 year old girls with their dads. ruclips.net/video/oj0YjGKqauw/видео.html

i don't idolise david foster wallace
It’s spelled ‘idolize’
Considering there’s autocorrect and google and you still spelled it wrong shows you are the exact type of person David Foster Wallace would not want to idolize him.
@@user-xd1xf9rp5p ever heard of british english?
Bro, you're the reason why I picked up and read DFW and I dug deeper I got my unread copy of Infinite Jest off the shelf and decided to read it. Thank you bro. You're the best
You're the best brotha!
You’re a prism.
A. You absorb information from all these different great minds and condens it into your consciousness focal point.
B. You emit that information back into the conscious minds of your audience.
The question is: does the audience see the full ROYGBIV spectrum of information, or merely the focused white light that is your mind?
I appreciate both, to be clear. If your mission was to raise awareness and direct you audience towards great writers who did the hard work for us to harvest the product of it without sacrificing the same amount of mental work and time for it, you succeeded, I think?
I’ll let you know when I’ve read those books 💫
Great video.
another great video, love it!
Thank you and it’s good to hear that you are committed to keep going!❤
