My favorite trivia about this story is that Shelly came up with it during a fun night of exchanging spooky stories with other writer friends.

I read Frankenstein for the first time last month and I absolutely loved it. I found myself feeling so bad for the monster and felt so much hatred towards Victor.

The netflix show of Haunting of Hill house is one of the greatest adaptations of the book in my opinion. Though they do change a few things obviously. And one line stayed with me. It was said by Mrs Dudley if I remember correctly: "No-one stays at Hill House after dark." Just a great show. Great book. The movie from 1999 is also great (and closer to the book) Great video as well. You're doing really great. Keep up the good work <3

Self awareness is knowing that I would definitely be the first one to die in a horror movie. It was lovely to start the morning with a video that has nothing at all to do with current events, thank you!

Ooh, nice microphone quality! I've been on a nostalgia kick going back through my old teenage fiction shelf, currently working through Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven. Apocalyptic fiction isn't usually my thing but for Niven I make an exception. I should make a mental note to see if I can get a copy of Bunny from the library. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one!

Where are you from? I'm curious about your accent. Love it!

Oh, God, i never thought i would see someone hating Percy Shelley as fiercely as I do 😂 Great recomendations!

It's funny how this video popped up in my recommended videos and it's a nearly perfect list of books that I have considered reading this autumn! I have wanted to read a classic and now I'm happy in my choice because I just started reading Frankenstein two days ago and now I'm very excited to keep reading it. P.S. If I hadn't already clicked subscribe earlier in the video, the monologue about Percy Shelley definitely would have made me hahaha

I don't think it really counts as horror, but the most horrific book I've read is definitely Never Let Me Go. Thanks for the spooky video! When I clicked I didn't think I was signing up to perpetuate a vendetta against Percy Shelley, but I'm here for it.

What an amazing video!! Karl Marx talks a lot about the things and situations you're analizing (remembering that Marx is not a communism ideologist, but rather a capitalism scholar). I'd just add that the powers "pulling the strings" behind our materialistic dictatorship are not the governments, but rather the burguesie that funds policies and politicians, besides practically everything we integrate into this society. In Marx words, "the dominant ideas of a society are the ideas of the ruling class". We see what they want us to see, we eat what they want us to eat, we do what they want us to do, we desire what they want us to desire, we consume what they want us to consume...

I always say that Lolita is a horror book (also one of my favorite books), and that it is soooo so strange and brutal that Hollywood turned it into a romance piece. I can't be certain about what were Nabokov's intentions and what feelings he wanted to evoke when writing that book, but reading it I couldn't feel almost nothing but horror and disgust, and it is not only for the pedophilia, but because Humbert is a disgusting human being in his totality. For me, it seems almost like the movies and book are completely different pieces with completely different purposes, with some communalities like same characters and the theme of pedophilia.

I'm so sorry for typing a comment right after reading the title but as someone who was considered a nympthette by several close men growing up and read this book as a preteen in a very complicated situation, I feel a VERY strong urge to point out that this story has nothing to do with womanhood. This is a book about a grown man and a child. Not even a "coming of age" young lady, a little girl. This is not about the nightmare of womanhood at ALL. It is the reality of girlhood. The sexualisation, isolation and abuse one experiences as a grown woman is NOTHING similar to the experience of a child. I feel as though looking at this story through a lens that focuses on feminism as whole rather than how the patriarchy makes paedophilia towards young girls affect every facet of sex really softens and lessens the impact. If the many things that happened to me had happened in my adulthood, I wouldn't be half the wreck I am now

Lolita is one of those books that I'm glad exists, but I have no intention to ever read it. I'm a delicate little flower and I'm pretty sure it would leave me feeling awful for days. Thank you for the video!

Fell in love with your channel recently, these look like such a great collection of books for October. I might take some inspiration for what I'm going to read next (and yes I really do need to get to Liu Cixin). My favourite Dostoyevsky is probably Brothers Karamazov if you haven't read that yet, but Prince Myshkin from The Idiot is definitely a great character.

I'm exhausted so I have to pause after the Icebreaker review, but... Can I just say, on the topic of your rant, that I fully agree with you and doing anything of that sort in front of non-consenting people(friends or otherwise) is not great. Let's be honest, consent is hot. And not consenting is, well, not.

@19:42 so do you mean that men also face a lot of scrutingly and pressures to conform (to become a good husband and father; to be successful, for example), and that, because they are human and flawed, they will still always fall short of perfection... Huh- just like women, right? Dont do what so many F-ists are guilty of, which is completely losing (or let go of) your compassion for men (as people and as a gender) in your efforts to help increase compassion and understanding for women, both personally and in society, which you appear to conclude is entirely lacking. I would argue that both men and women only care about the lives, opinions, physical/emotional pain/ suffering and betterment of women, even to the deliberate detriment of men- both individually and on the whole. This is in large part due to culture and ideology, but it's also very deeply evolutionary- an aspect of this debate which is very often ignored but simply cannot be honestly denied. NOTE: Let's see if youtube deletes my comment again, cuz it doesnt allow criticism of certain F -ist ideologies. That ought to tell us something about who controls the discussion around this issue... (BTW, Im using "F-ist" cuz when i use the full term, my comment is deleted by youtube. The term i mean is "Femin***", not "Fasc***", in case it is not clear. Apparently, one is not permitted to critique a certain ideology that claims to fight for the rights of women. Makes me wonder, wtf...?) Take care 😀

I think I could honestly listen to you talk all day, and I LOVE how passionate you are about your subjects. As far as tropes go, miscommunication is probably all the way up there - just fucking *talk* to each other, you know? And another one - he/she is absolutely the best at whatever they do, but the only way you know is that because the author is telling you directly, rather than showing you through their actions.

a trope i don;t like which is popular in asian novels is a main character transmigrating into a story and becoming a villain, for some reason the main characters are always so bland that I would rather read from the original character's pov, it's a shame because it's an interesting rremise

Miscommunication is an ick I have with PEOPLE

Video starts at 4:00

Okay I got baited so hard by the thumbnail, I had my pitchforks all ready to mount an impassioned defence of there being only one bed. Cool video, thank you! I share your appreciation for the god of light being evil, actually.

I am fully kinkshaming, getting freaky in front of your friends who have not consented is nasty🤢 Totally agree with It Ends with you being on the bottom. The writing does not live up to the expectations of a best seller writer.

He has no hoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 let’s gooo!!! So excited for this channel 😍😍😍
