    I love these videos.
    There was just a piece on CBS evening news about a phone booth in the wilds of Oregon. A gentlemen put it there to help a family grieve the death of their daughter. Just like the Japanese phone booth it attracted many people who need to talk to their loved ones who had died.

    Some pairings that come to mind
    Empire of Pain & Ohio
    Middlemarch & The Road to Middlemarch
    I like the idea of fiction & nonfiction pairings

      Love the suggestion of _Ohio_ here! I definitely need to read it since I’ve wanted to for awhile and fairly recently read _Empire of Pain_

    I have tried to pair fiction and nonfiction for years. I am reading the Wolf Hall trilogy right now while pairing it with a biography about Thomas Cromwell. I enjoyed Once Upon a River. I like your pairing. I have Word by Word on my shelves. I will remember your pairing recommendation when I read Word by Word Thank you for all the recommendations.

    I am so excited about this video. I am currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass and The Seed Keeper is on my TBR. Now I know to read it sooner rather than later. I also recently read Once Upon a River and absolutely loved how the river was a character itself, so I'm glad to see a nonfiction to enjoy that will enhance it.

  • @congruencerespects-xcation
    @congruencerespects-xcation 2 года назад +1

    I would say: non fiction- humankind by Rutger Bregman with fiction- anxious people by Frederik Backman

    These are fantastic pairings - and I’ve already got 2 of the ones you’ve mentioned on my TBR for 2022 but now adding their pairings to my list. Great suggestions and I love how this feels like the perfect wine and cheese pairing. 💖

    I think the fiction book The Prettiest Star would pair well with the nonfiction memoir All The Young Men. I finished a loved both this year.

    • @annegibson6072
      @annegibson6072 2 года назад +1

      I loved The Prettiest Star. I have a copy of All the Young Men that is on my pile of possibilities. The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toibin is also very good. It is fiction.

    • @ElleLitJP
      @ElleLitJP 2 года назад +1

      Just added _All the Young Men_ to my TBR - thank you for the rec alongside _The Prettiest Star_ (which I read this summer).

    I just wanted to add a book that might almost fall between your two books about the tsunami. I read Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala last year. It's a memoir written by a woman who was washed out to sea by the tsunami and survived, but lost her two children, her husband, and both her parents to the tsunami. It's unflinching in the way it looks at grief and survival in the face of incomprehensible loss, and it sounds like it could accompany these books well if someone is interested enough to want to read one more.

    • @GALCHIEAGLE
      @GALCHIEAGLE 2 года назад +1

      I also read Wave. I often think of the family and the grief the woman lives with. When I say often, I mean every day. That story touched me deeply.

    I love the pairing of fiction and non fiction. Just read A Tale for the Time Being with Ghosts of the Tsunami. I will have to look into Phonebooth at the edge of the World. And I’m a word nerd for sure. I’ll be checking out that pairing soon. Thanks. Stay safe.

  • @SM-vr8dz
    @SM-vr8dz 2 года назад +1

    Honestly, Ghosts of the Tsunami is one of the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read, and I don’t tend to read many non-fictions books. I am definitely going to pick up The Phone Booth…

    This video is just the best! I love the idea; I've actually had this idea but haven't followed through on it. I didn't realize that you'd made other videos like this. Thanks for the recs. I'm sure it enhances the reads so much more.

  • @sarahmccauley6527
    @sarahmccauley6527 2 года назад

    Probably not the most original pairing, but I recommend George Takei's graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, alongside Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.

    Love these videos, and I’m doing this currently. I just finished _The Great Influenza_ for NFN; now I’m reading Porter’s _Pale Horse, Pale Rider_ based on her having the flu at that time (and mentioned several times in _The Great Influenza_ ).

  • @launchedathousand

    The Liars Dictionary sounds like a fun read! Word for Word sounds like it may also pair well with The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams I really enjoy these videos.

    Rather incidentally I just picked up a non fiction book about Thebes because it piqued my curiosity. Now I might read that alongside Oedipus Rex by Sophocles since it’s literally set in Thebes.
    In fact the non fiction Thebes book even references Oedipus Rex on the cover.

  • @TedMattos

    Thanks for these recommendations, Olive. With the tsunami pairing, would you suggest "Ghosts" be read PRIOR to "Phone Booth"? Simultaneously?
