    Good list. "Ladies' Man" by Richard Price is brutal in this respect. And the short story collection "The Pugilist at Rest" by Thom Jones has this theme throughout. And then the obvious "Catcher in the Rye" and "Robinson Crusoe."

I think I'd enjoy both, and your review gives me that nudge, so thanks! My sis has Parkinson's, and reading that book was like being in her body for awhile. Her life really does revolve around those dang pills! Glad you started your channel :)

    It seems like you’re more into fiction than nonfiction and I’ve found that this year I’ve gravitated more to non fiction. Would you consider making a video on your favorite non fiction books? I tend to be a mood reader in that when I’m hyper fixated on a topic I tend to want to read books on that topic. Right now I’m really into Saturday Night Live and bought two books on it. Do you find yourself making TBR lists or do you mainly read by mood? Love your videos!

    • @CoolcatzCorner

      Something I just thought of is the loneliness of a book like The Catcher in the Rye where Holden, in the wake of a trauma and sense of failure, seems lost wandering around NYC trying to find some kind of purpose. I think we’re all trying to find our meaning and purpose in the world every day so it’s fascinating to read how people go about that

      @@shrewnaldo it’s at the end when he’s going up to Finch’s office to resign. It says “He stood at the stairs that led up to the second floor; the steps were marble, and in their precise centers were gentle troughs worn smooth by decades of footsteps going up and down.” It connects so perfectly to the line at the beginning when Stoners first at school - “Shuffling footsteps hissed upon the floors, and a murmur of voices muted by the great expanse of the hall; dim figures moved slowly, mingling and parting; and the oppressive air gathered the smell of the oiled walls and wet odor of the woolen clothing. Stoner went up the smooth marble stairs to Archer Sloane’s second-floor office.” It’s just a beautiful way to show how long Stoner has lived there and how the school are slowly deteriorated over time.

    Been enjoying your videos so far. If you're ok with some recommendations based on what you were saying about reading from as many other countries as possible, particularly South America, could I recommend a couple? For South America - it may be an obvious suggestion but I enjoyed Epitaph of a Small Winner by Machado de Assis (Brazilian author so would tick off Portuguese too). Also, leading on from your Swedish translation of the novel about the Sami people, I'd suggest Land of Snow and Ashes by Petra Rautiainen - a Finnish historical fiction novel based in Lapland covering the Nazi occupation and impact on the Sami community.
