I think this might be my last book review for a while since I'm struggling with finishing books since burning out back in October. I hope you'll stick around for when new reviews pop up though and that you'll enjoy this one! Cheers! xx
Thank you for your intelligent reviews and good humoured guidance to some wonderful reading . I have purchased a number of your recommendations . Stay well
You are literally the perfect recipe for a successful UA-camr: You're clearly both intelligent and creative, especially when it comes to video ideas and formats, your thumbnails are some of the best I've ever seen (so unique!) and you have a soft yet bubbly personality that makes people want to keep listening to what you have to say. I think you have the potential to, one day, have a very large following of loyal fans! With a little bit of data analysis, you could gather insights and figure out the best way to go about titling or formatting videos. I'm sure you already knew this, but if you log in to google analytics you can find out a bunch of useful info about your channel that may help you plan your next step and grow your channel. I should add that I really enjoy your videos, especially the book review/recommendations. Anyway, that's it from me haha, keep up the great work!
I finished The Long Petal of The Sea by Isabel Allende yesterday, so this seems fitting despite the different tone and genre they both cover the unsurety and tumultuousness of the 20th century and made me interested in Chilean literature. This sounds as you said hard, but so good!
Ommgg I’ll love to see you reading Mexican literature. You should check “Recollections of Things to Come” by Elena Garro, or “Hurricane Seasons” by Fernanda Melchor.
Thank you so much for talking about chilean literature. People don't talk to much about it, and i love your videos, so this is so cool! Gracias de Chile 💕
i came from recommendation after recommendation zapping on youtube and then your channel appeared between some others but i rlly liked your pic and your name so i said lets try. im looking at the titles of your vids and then this??? LETS GOOOO CHILEEEE INSTA SUBBBB lemme watch this now and ill comment after, im just on the chilean hype now hehahh!
Coming back here after having finished the book and watched the video. I also extremely enjoyed the book, although I find it odd to say I "enjoyed" all the various stories given their content and context. I was mostly touched by the way the various short stories (albeit fictionalised in some form or another) form what I can only describe as a multi-page "warning sign". If on one hand all the characters mentioned in the book were responsible for incredible discoveries/theories that forever altered the world, they were in one way or another also responsible (again, although not "consciously") for what that meant for the future. The sense of unease, especially knowing what each individual's discovery led to in the future, really touched me. I had a similar experience reading Rob Macfarlane's Underland, especially when reading the chapters about nuclear waste and finding a language suitable to be understood not just by humans, but also by creatures centuries and centuries away from now and from earth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book! x
Hi. You have a really interesting accent. Have you ever made a video about it? It doesn't sound quite Dutch to me, or English. Sounds a bit Scandinavian sometimes. Hard to place. Just curious. Nice channel btw
I'm still processing this book after finishing listening to the audiobook just yesterday. The format and writing are so captivating and the selections of stories were engaging and flowed interestingly from one to the next. I went into this book completely without forewarning or context. And I was completely absorbed in it up until Shroedinger. I am not a person who is offended about the discussions of human atrocities or difficult subject matter. But I really did not like the passage discussing Schroedinger and his obsession with an ill minor. It seemed like there were few throwaway lines about how what he was doing was shameful. The way that passage was written almost made me turn off the audiobook. Explicitly describing the body of a child and a grown man's lustings for her, in this framing, seemed altogether f-ed up. She's 12. And yet, the author/narrative repeatedly refers to her as womanly or woman in her effects on other patients/Shroedinger. It is beyond f-ed to have it clearly stated that she is a child and then have her body violated while she is unconscious with illness and it is portrayed romantically? I am vexed that this is not a prominent point for people reviewing and recommending this book?
@EasilyStartled Hi, I felt the same way. I was also disgusted reading that part, but searching up Shrödinger online, he really was a pedophile and groomer. So so disgusting. I guess Labatut wanted to incorporate that part of his life, rather than depict him as a harmless person. It’s wild how grand a legacy Shrödinger has left behind when he engaged in such horrific behaviors. Edited because I used “disgust” too much.

I just finished reading this book because of your recommendation. I am not a science person but the stories were so captivating and interesting.
So happy to hear that!! ☺️✨

I just finished this book and was so shaken up by it. The last story took it all home for me and brought on a mini existential crisis.
It’s genuinely always a joy to see you on my dash. That’s a feat.
Do you know the magazine Cabinet? You might enjoy it.
That's very nice to hear, thank you very much! :) I haven't heard of Cabinet, will have to give it a look, thanks!
Thank you, I've just got it for my Kindle. You got me really intrested.

I’ve just received my copy after your review
I feel the same way you feel about the words I use as you feel about inventions. I try to remind myself to be mindful of others experience.

I read this book just last week and adored it!
This book seems intense but also important; thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Hi. You have a really interesting accent. Have you ever made a video about it?
It doesn't sound quite Dutch to me, or English. Sounds a bit Scandinavian sometimes. Hard to place.
Just curious.
Nice channel btw
Oh Scandinavian that's a first! I haven't made a video about that before, maybe I should :)
Thanks so much for sticking around :)
que si solo por este video te voy a seguir? absolutamente si
Thank you

You made me really wanna read this but also I really don't want to 😔
Oh a Chilean book 👀

👏👏
Humanity scares me.
For sure!
I'm still processing this book after finishing listening to the audiobook just yesterday.
The format and writing are so captivating and the selections of stories were engaging and flowed interestingly from one to the next.
I went into this book completely without forewarning or context. And I was completely absorbed in it up until Shroedinger. I am not a person who is offended about the discussions of human atrocities or difficult subject matter.

@EasilyStartled Hi, I felt the same way. I was also disgusted reading that part, but searching up Shrödinger online, he really was a pedophile and groomer. So so disgusting. I guess Labatut wanted to incorporate that part of his life, rather than depict him as a harmless person. It’s wild how grand a legacy Shrödinger has left behind when he engaged in such horrific behaviors.
Edited because I used “disgust” too much.
