The Sound and the Fury is absolutely fascinating--but not a quick or easy read. I adore Lark Rise--and it would certainly be a comfortable read for the end of the season. There is a lovely screen adaptation, too. Good luck with your listmaking!

That's quite a list! Good luck. I, too, must read more from my shelves though I find it quite impossible to walk past my local library without popping in to see what's new. I've been wanting to read Augustus, maybe next year. I would be interested in which South African authors you enjoy and which of their books you have read. From another SA ex-pat in Ireland!

Hi madam students good speaking English language

I’m reading Far from the Madding Crowd and loving it. Hardy’s writing is magical in my opinion.

I too took my undergrad, in creative writing, at Oxford. It was, like you said, transforming.

This is lovely! I’m inspired to pour more into my love of literature, like you I made the safe choice in when choosing what to study.

You definitely are not putting the perception through that you are breezing through. I like the swimming against the tide and then floating.

Love to connect with you who share same passion about literature poetry art

O wow you are also passionate about poetry , words , self expression ❤ This monologue i never forgot from dead poet society movie

Thanks for sharing your journey! As I've already said your channel is among those which supports me on my studying path. I don't have groupmates or any community in academia and some people I know in academia have accomplished their goals several years ago, so UA-cam helps me not to feel too lonely on this long way. I watch your videos every Monday morning and it helps so much!

I got my BA in Philosophy at 63. Now, at 66, I am starting my Master's by distance Learning in February 2025, alongside chronic illnesses and fatigue. It has been hard, but it was my lifelong ambition to get my BA. To anyone, I say go for it! Thanks for your vlogs, Cait you are amazing!!

the way you said, "trying to reconnect with this part of themselves that they've been masking," is 💯! I've been recognizing this in exactly that way in my therapy these past couple of weeks! 💖

You said what I've been trying to express for a while. I feel like I'm still in the midst of seeing real shifts, but I know it's happening! And I'm back in school for many of the same reasons, mostly to follow what I love and am passionate about. With no idea where it's leading me, I'm leaning into and enjoying the process!

“I have never felt more like myself” - what a powerful statement, Cait. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, I’m sure many of the folks here (including me) need to hear this!

Thank you as always Cait and you have been a real support and understanding along with Kate and all the others in Accepted society! I am so pleased to have found you all! As a mature student you correct, I am so happy I am doing this and what does a mature student mean!! All I know, it means that I need to relearn how to study and pace myself! I don't have much of a community with my cohort as all online, so accepted is my cohort! Also yes having the correct mindset and understanding is essential and those round us keep us focused! its essential! Thank you again!, so pleased your happy and cannot wait for your next steps!

I'll have to think carefully about my own list. Thanks for the prompting! I love the specificity of your choices, not merely being generally well-known or broad subject matter. Not obvious choices at all, which is great!

Such interesting books. This is my first time watching your channel. I have one suggestion that if implemented would be helpful to your viewers. Because you do not provide a books mentioned list in your episode notes and because author’s names can be variously spelled, I suggest you hold the book perfectly still with title and author clearly visible for several minutes or have a pop-up of the book.

That really doesn’t work. Books that make a huge impact on one person’s mind are not the books that speak to another person.

Non-fiction can of course be thrown into two sections. Trash and meaningful.

What a great idea for a video! I will get thinking for my NFN books! Papyrus is a great book, I would have had that in mine as well :)

Thanks for sharing this list! I've added "Eve Bites Back" and "Women in Pictures" to my TBR, however I don't know when I can read them, cuz now the main focus is on the theoretical reading in the sphere I study

New Subscriber. Glad I found your channel. Hows the weather in Ireland?

You have really inspired me to read some of these books. Thank you

Thank you for sharing those encouraging words!

Amazing! Love the chair and back ground!! great books to read! I am going to try and do 5 books! in accepted so will join in the book club!

I DID NOT like The Poisonwood Bible either! I have not read any of her books 😮

thanks! found what I requested on your Mst video (this list) - also you should get sponsored by Penguin!!!

Hey could you share the reading list for the foundational Oxford course you got? I’m seriously considering (lawyer here with similar story and this vid could have changed my life)!

Both your program and your cohort sound so lovely!

Thank you for sharing, Cait. You had me going at the end. It took Covid to push me to follow my dreams. Best decision ever and a big shout out to the Continuing Education Department they are just one amazing team.

❤❤

I like watching library vlogs so-so much! I’ve never tried to study in a library even though I’m on my 9th year now (never needed any books there, also my department’s student section was closed for renovation for several years), but it’s so inspirational to see beautiful libraries online. Congrats on completing your final residency and good luck with your master's dissertation and PhD application! P.S. Is it convinient to wash hands/shower/bathe with a smart ring?

As my supervisor says to me: "crying just means you are human". The fact you got so emotional is a good thing because that means the course and Accepted gave you so much. Better than having a vlog where you say "glad that is over with". Name for bear: Ralphie

Aw I loved this vlog so so much <3 and that speech at the end got me feeling emotional

Mam can you earn 70k pound sterlings a year after graduation from university in uk? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

I hope you had the most wonderful week and thank you for inviting us to start it with you! (Surely the bear's name is Aloysius?)

Amazing thank you for sharing and very emotional! You have given me my motivation back! Talk soon xx

Dear Cait, what a lovely, emotional but also uplifting vlog. I almost teared up with you. ❤ I have a rather practical question: Why do you prefer to stay at Wellington Square/Rewley House rather than staying in college? Is it due to the shorter distance to lectures and the city centre or is there another reason? Sending hugs, Siv (member of the ContEd fan club 😃)

Great video. Lots of cool books. Thanks.

Shirley Jackson!

Your pronunciation of Geetanjali is miserable.

I read Lady Audley's Secret last week and couldn't put it down!! It's so good!

Well I'm working to be ambidexterious. Intially, for about a month it was a little hard to mentally imagine something I'd feel dichotomous with since I also go to bible study. Now it's hardly a struggle at all because I just kept using my non-dominant hand. I also don't really have a lot of anxiety. So I don't think I have to read something like the book titled Pew. But other books I see. Lastly, I used to read quite a bit of old fashioned books since somebody did teach me. Oh and I'm a late millennial.

Mam can you earn 60k pound sterlings a year after graduation from university in uk? Plz reply in yes or no. Thanks a lot.

I couldn’t agree more with your opinion of Wolf Hall. It took me three attempts to get into it, but I’m so glad I persisted. It opened up a whole new world. The TV series with Mark Rylance and Damien Lewis is extraordinary.

Awww another chapter! However exciting times ❤❤❤

Hi I love your book content, it is very aligned with my tastes. Can you please recommend some of your favorite book content creators?

Thank you! Please give Romantic Outlaws by Charlotte Gordon a try. So beautifully written! Would love to know what you think about it. Also if i may suggest reading that first then Frankenstein…

Can United States students do this Oxford literature degree since it seems most of his online? I was reading that you have to go to summer school there for at least a couple weeks. Is there anyway around that? For the Shakespeare.

This was super helpful! I’ve mostly just been jotting my ideas on a Word doc + Excel and I find it to be all over the place. I’ll definitely give this a try to see if this helps with my being all over the place. 😊 Best of luck to you and your PhD app process!
