Reading presently.....Human Acts

Excellent video. Thank you so much. I put White Book at the top (I’ve read all except Convalescence), but I understand your reasons. I also had some trouble with Greek Lessons.

I read Human Acts this year and I really enjoyed it! Chapters one and two were already so emotional and I just love her writing (also shoutout to the translator Deborah Smith). I read The Vegetarian quite some time ago.. I just remember it being quite weird but liking it. Time for a re-read I would say! Excited to hear that there is going to be a new book coming out, will definitely read that too 😊

원더풀 독자 여러분, 제 작업에 대한 여러분의 성원과 열정에 진심으로 감사의 말씀을 전하고 싶습니다. 여러분의 말과 격려가 매일 저에게 영감을 줍니다. 저와 함께 이 여정에 동참해 주셔서 감사합니다. 이렇게 열정적인 독자들이 있다는 것에 진심으로 감사드립니다. 진심으로 감사드립니다, 한강

I'm planning to dive into Han Kang's work soon! Hearing your insights has inspired me to pick them up-it sounds like it’ll be quite the emotional journey.

Not a big deal, but on your thumbnail, you have Human Acts as your worst and Greek Lessons as your best.

I am a big Han Kang fan too, and I didn't even finish Greek Lessons, I bailed after about fifty pages. If you're interested in South Korean writers, have he heard of Shin Kyung Sook? She is most famous for a book called "Please Look After Mom" which ironically I didn't like at all,it was a little too sweet and syrupy for me, but take a look at "The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness", "Violets", and "I'll be Right There".

I just heard that she has a new one coming out called "We Do not Part" I just pre-ordered it.

Great list! Love your videos!

Lovely, as always! I read The Vegetarian upon your expert recommendation, and yes, it was transformative for me and I think about it often. As frustrating as it was to read about the protagonists demise, I realised that for her it wasn't a break down, but a break through. Showing us that to change, to transform, and thereby separating yourself and breaking off from your family, isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on who is leaving that unit. I also bought Human Acts, but it is on my TBR list. A book about suffering isn't very appealing to step into, but now that you've said she writes so softly about suffering, I might finally be tempted to finally start reading it. Congratulations to Han Kang!

I relate to this 😂 I feel like I always have a few books (physical and audiobook) on rotation

I personally prefer storygraph! You can give half points/stars which I think is really vital, and I love the statistical overview. But I haven’t used goodreads for many years, so I don‘t really know if they have recently updated the features. The love/hate relationship with poetry is so real! I find it so hard to even pick up a collection and then read it all the way through. The struggle also starts with finding the right collection and then also being in the mood for it 😅 I‘ve been meaning to read some of Ocean Vuong‘s poems as I enjoyed On Earth We‘re Briefly Gorgeous. Maybe knowing that I like his writing style will help me to actually pick up a collection and also finish it.

Kaylaaaaaa! Thank you for this vlog <3 it was so refreshing to watch. And hahaha the love-hate(?) with poetry is real! :)

Your vlog is my therapy!

I love Bookworm Hanoi! Such a cool bookstore. Will def be back!

Love this vlog. Subscribing 🫶🏼

Baguio was my families holiday spot but I haven't been in over a decade now. It's interesting to see what it looks like now

As I was watching this I had to really dig inside my mind to remember what book I was reading while still on holiday but that I've neglected ever since coming home. It's very sad that I've made in nearly impossible for myself to read anywhere else but during vacation because I love to read books.

I started Infinite Jest so many years ago like in 2010.. got like 300 pages in and was confused😅 I actually kept this book on my shelf until the beginning of this year and finally admitted that I will never finish this. The thought of having to start from page 1 again also made me dread this even more because lets be honest, I obviously do not remember anything from this book. Murakami‘s 1Q84, however, was a temporary dnf for me and I finally finished it a couple of years ago. Not my favorite but glad I actually finished it after it had collected dust for so many years. Infinite Jest is just way too daunting and I don‘t think it‘s for me.

they have such a calming effect <3

Thank you for sharing your favorite books and why they moved you so. It's so rare to hear someone to speak with such eloquence about their reading life :)

I clicked because I loved the thumbnail. Great content 👌😁. Not a huge book reader but love your style and lofi music 👌

i’m currently reading 37 books!

Congrats on 200 subscribers! I am not monogamous with my books. I normally have 3 books going at once. I have one that I read in the morning while i sip my coffee, one that i read before bed, then a poetry book or short story collection that I may randomly pick up when i have just a few minutes or on the weekends. I tried to read only one book at a time before the next but that never worked for me. I DNF'd The Secret History twice but for some reason i still keep in on my shelves. I keep trying to force myself to want to read it again because so many people love it. I feel like I need to just bit the bullet and read it all the way through. P.S. i like the mini mic :)

New here. You have great taste. I gotta check out your other content. Idk why I feel like I can 100% trust your recommendations.

Awesomesauce 😩 i haven’t heard that in a while

Girrrrl, I looove The Time Traveler's Wife and I think the prose is great

So many books you listed are formative for me!! Omg i have this feeling you may enjoy Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. One of my favorite books of all time, and our tastes seem similar

The movie for perfume frustrated me that they changed a few parts of the story that I loved from the book

Love your editing. I have the similar self! My nails wouldn't survive this! hahaha new follower

U can't understand nudity future amazing Ur. Make sure you share food with the poor and never lie reverse all lies ever told very important for you and be a food servant to the poor and do it in person

I can read 10 books in a month and sometimes i read 2 books in a month. It all depends on the type of book and how dense it is. I purposely slowed down my reading in recent years because I found that at the end of the year after reading over 100 books, I realized I didn't remember MOST of them. My husband only reads one book a month on average, and he remembers everything he reads because he reads slowly and really immerses in the story. I'm not where I want to be with slow reading yet but I'm getting a little better. I didn't like My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I noticed that everyone on the planet seemed to love it and i felt like something was wrong with me LOL. I don't get on with that author in general. Don't worry about how much you read. It's not a race. :)

What a great selection of books! I'm happy to see a Jeanette Winterson book on your list. I am working my way through all of her works little by little. Just Kids is a favorite of mine also. I didn't expect to love it as much as i did. Rebecca was another surprise love for me. I put it off for years and when i finally read it , I loved it so much that i spent the rest of that year reading all of Du Maurier's novels - Frenchmen's Creek is my favorite so far..such a fun read.

omg!!! jeanette wintersonnnn i respect it 🎉🎉

The only 10 books that changed my life are the ones written by Steven Erikson called "Malazan Book of the Fallen"

The audience wants to know about those letters m'am. Also, I'm gonna say Baek Isak or Hoonie 😔🤧 I wonder, can a case be made for similarities between the tenderness of compassion and companionship between Beak Isak and Sunja, and Patti and Robert? While I love Pachinko, and have read similar tales like 'Wild Swans', one of the novels that never gets it's due in this multigenerational genre is The Good Earth by Pearl Buck. I read it more than ten years ago, so I haven't held it up to the light in a while, but I remember it being very tender and full of determination.

senpai said my name OwO

New video ❤

yay new subscriber. i love your videos 💕

Hello from Karori Aotearoa❤

My year of rest and relaxation is my favorite book, I lived like a hikikomori for a little over two years, I self isolated myself and self medicated just like the main character during that time I thougt that I was the only person in the world that was living that way, I read a lot during that time and was really hopping to find something like this so when two years later I found these book it was like a huge much needed therapy session. U look great in red by the way, hope your channel and shelf grows a lot ❤

My reading habits fluctuate between reading three books a month, to reading 0 books a year. It depends on what medium you take your medicine from so to speak. Reading for me is a way to immerse and escape. Sometimes reading just doesn't cut it, other times.only books can drag you away from your thoughts. I'd say, don't put pressure on yourself to read a certain amount, as long as it's fun, you'll keep it up.

I click in this video because the thumb was beautiful and the channel name uugh soo good! Subscribe in the second I saw your shelf: Suga, Van Gogh, Dalí ❤ we have such similar taste that I have read all of the books apart from the poetry collection that I will try to read as soon as possible. I really enjoy hearing you talk about your experience and why they are your favs. There’s an author that I like call Jennifer McMahon (some people like her others dislike haha) but during this video I have the feeling that u might like, my favorite from hers is call “don’t breath a word” it’s like a thriller with magic surrealism (but the very dark type). Wishing u a lots of sucess in booktube ❤ can’t wait to see more content from silver ocean letters 😍

Nice list! Great Video
