I still have yet to read even one Trollope. I want to explore his writing, but I'm so busy reading other things this year... I think it is an interesting idea to read a book about a Christian/Jewish interfaith marriage. I know when I was young this was known as a very big deal, or consideration, before marriage, but during the last few decades I haven't heard of it at all. When an author presents Christian characters with very un-Christian traits it makes me think they don't really know what it means to be Christian.

Very nice to hear your thoughts about this novel. Trollope is like an old friend to me, have read 22 of his novels. Most of them I liked very much. I will read this one soon.Thanks for this excelent video.

Hi Faith…….enjoyed watching your channel for the first time. I’m an artist and writer, age 75. So many of the books you read sound interesting. Looking forward to more episodes❤

So many interesting books and wonderful project. 😍♥️

Oooo! Arthur Rackem illustrated A Christmas Carol! 😮😍

Was the other princess book you were thinking of "The Princess and the Goblin"? E. Nesbit! What a delight! Brings back memories of my childhood.

Another great video! I enjoy hearing about what you’ve been reading. It’s so different from what most other booktubers that I follow are reading.

I agree with you about the two Jo Van Gogh books we read. The fiction's modern timeline was exactly as you described it: cringeworthy. The memoir Jo wrote about Vincent was wonderful. I've had a busy day... not ignoring you but I see you posted this 19 hours ago. I hosted a brunch for my women's Bible study group earlier today. It was wonderful. Anyhow, I also would like to finish reading Gulag Archipelago. I started it years ago. i guess I'm done reading about Vincent Van Gogh for now, but the canvas print I ordered should be here Monday. The Endless Steppe is one of my favorite memoirs. Erion sent me a copy a few years ago. I've read it twice.

I am still reading The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh. My edition publushed by Simon and Shuster begins with the Memoir of Vincent Van Gogh by His Sister-In-Law. And I have to say wonderful font which I appreciate. I finished it and I am now into the letters. She wrote a very succinct biography, much of his life I didn't know. I will leave an image of the edition on your Voxer. Also totally agree with you assessment on the division climate now in this country. We have been silenced by the culture of division.

I got to go to a Van Gogh exhibit at LACMA several years ago. His work is amazing in person. He had such a tragic end but I’m thankful that his family pushed for his recognition.

I think it's perfectly valid to include children's literature, plays and poetry in the list. I think I would also expand the scope to other countries in the same era. In particular, there's a great deal of influential American and French literature, as well as Russian, during that same time period. I know they aren't technically Victorian because they're not British, but they were all writing in the same era and influencing each other and those that came after.

I found this interesting. What’s your favorite Trollope book? Have you ever done a video where you talk about your top ten favorite Victorian novels?

Loved hearing lots of titles and authors I hadn’t heard much about Faith! Hope you’re feeling better.

This is great! I need to see what I've read for this list, too! Wow! I love your edition of The Book of Nonsense! 😍I love seeing all of your old editions of some to these, too. Oh my goodness! I found an old copy of The Little Minister and bought it because Janelle had mentioned it! Wow! I need to get to that one soon.

What a lot of books you've read and how cool to list them in order of the years of publication!!

Edith Nesbit. Loved all her books as a kid. Still do. And Edward Eager’s written later influenced by her.

I read a Dickens a year until I read them all. 😊 Need to read more Trollope. Nice list! I have an old set of JM Barrie with The Little Minister. Good.

Yes it’s really interesting to see the range of your reading of Victorian literature. Thank you and I hope your health improves soon.

Faith, would love to join the discord

My plans keep changing I think I'm reading detective sensation novels in a week or two. I think perhaps Alice and Jennifer would have liked those. I occasionally read something and think one of them would have liked it.

Lord, I'm praying to ask that Faith not have problems with hearing. Please grant her a complete recovery and bless her in every way possible. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen ............ Thanks for the Discord group update. I put the event on my calendar!!

Prayers for you! I might join the Discord, not sure what I'm doing on those days yet however. God bless you!

if one were to start a library on books what would you reccomend

madame ovary. 😁 I chuckled. I remember your video when you acquired your mom's Trollope collection. Does Can You Forgive Her have religion in it? A Six hour play?! That's crazy. I hope you enjoy all of your books. How do you keep the book pile small? Once I start pulling books off the shelf, they all start jumping on the pile. Hopefully I can get my Victober video recorded tomorrow.

I liked the Scandal in Bohemia by Doyle. Try that one

I love audiobooks. They’re my method of choice just because I can listen as I go. Great picks. I get what you mean about Dickens having a Christmas vibe about them.

Great picks!

I beg to differ; Ms. Eliot is simply disingenuous. Her one footnote in ch. 58? discounts the up to date research by prof. Villari, who amply shows the vindication of the Frate’s role during the conviction of the 5 conspirators; the event upon which the novel revolves. Total straw man argument. Almost every reference to him by the “narrator” is pejorative. Simply ludicrous, in that era, that a female would enter the monastery and give the prior a piece of her mind. Story moves from dreary to dreadful to farcical. Michelangelo and Botticelli were both fond admirers. He was a most exquisite priest who received letters from around Europe asking for spiritual advice. St. Catherine de Ricci was cured by his intercession and St. Philip Nero considered him a saint. There’s a reason why agnostics and atheists despise him: holiness works and is the only true source of joy; not the vain, incessant thumb/soul sucking drivel of a pseudo shrink. Please see, “ Victorian Age of Literature,” by GK Chesterton.

So true about Dickens. His books are perfect for reading before Christmas. I've never heard of that Lewis Carroll book! Curious about that one.

Great plans for Victober! I’m not sure of all I’m doing yet.

When I read dickens I always listen to him as well. It helps a lot with the dialects that are hard.

I love hearing about your Victober plans even though I've never participated. I do love Victorian literature but by October each year I'm ready to relax and not do intense reading challenges. Of course I also don't do Jane Austen July.......... maybe it all seems too daunting. I didn't know it was Victober that inspired you to create a Booktube channel. !!

If I could find a good audio reader for Dickens I would do an audio. Like you audio isn’t my fav way of reading!

I read the Aeneid (as part of Lifetime Reading Plan by Fadiman) when I was across the country staying with my daughter in the hospital keeping her triplets from coming too soon. I got nothing from it!!! I was so impressed with your chat with your son about it. Will try again and use some helps. Triplets just turned 15!

I didn't know you were already reading the Gulag Archipelago. I must have missed something.

I had to laugh when you were discussing how you were easily distracted by noise and just at that moment the thunder distracted you! 😂That's me! I need to pick up those headphones, too.

I love noise cancelling headphones too. My Classical music of choice would be piano music. You could look up a pianist called Nobuyuki Tsujii. He is Japanese and blind!. Listz Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 is incredible played by him. I also like Ludovico Enaudi a modern Classical cross over composer and pianist. I like the idea of a common book where you can write out things which stand out to you! I've had to set timers too.

I’ve been curious about the noise canceling headphones as noise is the one thing that can pull me out of a book. Good to know they’re successful!

This is a fun review. Thanks Faith and Eli!

Nice to see this joint review with your son. Sounds like a ‘heavy’ read but great to hear you talking about it so enthusiastically.

I loved seeing him call you "Mom" ... very nice summary and analysis! I especially like how enthusiastic you are about this classic.

So fun to have a discussion with your son! I do that with my nieces and nephews.

Great topic! Enjoyed your recommendations. Thanks.

Great choices... and that book about the Carmelite nun is something I'd like to read. I've already been tagged on this, but then, I've been tagged on lots of tags and never did them. Maybe someday I will.

I think of the G names: Elizabeth Gaskell, Elizabeth Goudge, Rumer Godden. And I love Flannery O’ Connor.

Fave woman character: Jane Eyre. Mill on the Floss is soooo sad.

Thank you for tagging me! I’ll get to work on this! And also thanks for reminding me of Mary Roberts Rinehart!

I love the poems you chose, and I love how the woodpecker joined in! ❤

I've never heard of Mary Roberts Rinehart, but she sounds wonderful! I'll definitely be looking into her books. Any ideas on where's a good place to start? Also, The Sound at the Scaffold sounds amazing! Maybe I can try to track down a copy 😅

I’ve never heard of Mary Roberts Rinehart. Do you know I’ve never even read Agatha Christie!! Which one would you recommend I start with? If a character stays with you then it’s the sign of a great novel and writer. Is Romolo very dark? As I’m not great if it’s too dark. I have read the Mill on the Floss a long time ago.
