    one hundred years of solitude is one of my favorites. and in my opinion it has the most beautiful ending of literature

    Soooooo excited to see a booktuber plug a work of Appalachian literary fiction (Cold Mountain)! We are such a forgotten region in American pop culture.

    The Pearl by Steinbeck is so beautiful! I read it in one sitting while at the beach! 🏖 And I am also planning to read 100 Years of Solitude and East of Eden this Summer! ❤️ Its going to be a great reading season! 😭

    yesss....graham greene finally🎉🎉...I absolutely adore him...something light hearted and beautifully enchanting by him would be "travels with my aunt"...the story is about a man who after the passing of his mother meets his long-forgotten aunt and they go on various journeys together..
    But my absolute favourite novel of his so far must be "Heart of the matter"...an absolute atmospheric masterpiece which takes place in westafrica.
    thank you again for your beautiful videos they always make my day!!!❤😘

    Ooh that copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude is beautiful and in amazing condition! Can't beat a second hand find like that! Really enjoyed watching this haul and looking forward to seeing what you thought of the books in future videos. 😊

    Thank you for another beautiful video! One Hundred Years of Solitude is a masterpiece. One of my favorite books of all times. I recently bought East of Eden and I can't wait to read it. Now I want to buy the Pearl. It sounds like a lovely book

    OMG GRAHAM GREENE!! 😂😂 I've never seen anyone else talk about his works so I'm eager to see him get some attention haha I love Virginia Woolf!! To The Lighthouse is my fave (I got a tattoo of a Lighthouse to honour it a month after I read it 😂😂) I hope you enjoy The Waves it's not one that I've read but it's one I'm eager to get to!!

    • @nicolasrumpf761

    I so enjoy your enthusiasm and sweet spirit, Carolyn! A World Full of Dickens Stories looks lovely. If you aren't aware, East of Eden is Steinbeck at his most disturbing and depressing. I loved it, it's sweeping and magnificent, but it's a tough read. You may want to read his Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday to recover. Have you offered your Steinbeck portrait on you Etsy shop yet? Hope I haven't missed it! Thank you for making your always fun and interesting content. I'm happy I found your channel and am getting to know you. Sincerely, John

    I really want to read Mrs Dalloway soon! Definitely this summer.
    The Odyssey is one I want to get, I've read the Illiad and once I got used to the writing style I really liked it.
    Such a beautiful illustrated Dickens book and a great idea

    If you plan to read more Steinbeck, I want to recommend Travels With Charley (my favorite book) and Cannery Row. I think you will enjoy both of these. I love these books so much. Your channel is so inspiring.

  • @SplashyCannonBall
    @SplashyCannonBall 2 роки тому +9

    I'm in Don Quixote. It may be the best novel ever??
    The Odyssey is so good. Penelope at the end...I enjoy WHD Rouse translation of The Odyssey because he says, HickledeePickledee. Can't beat that.

      I’d never heard of the book or the author but listened to audible’s version because the brilliant Colin Firth read it! And I’m determined to read more of Greene’s work!

    • @janebaily3758
      @janebaily3758 2 роки тому +1

      It's not an explicit book either. More psychological and emotional than anything sexual.

  • @BooksandRadioPlays

    It's funny you mentioned Graham Greene, I have never read a book by him, and I was at our library bookstore and I saw his book, The Quiet American: and I picked it up because i had heard of him and really wanted to try it out. It is a Penguin Group book, (not sure what that means,) but it has a cover from the movie with Michael Caine, (who I adore,) so it was a win-win for me. I hope you enjoy your Graham Greene book.

  • @CalebBedford

    The Pearl is okay, but I quite enjoyed Cannery Row. I need to read a longer Steinbeck work, but I haven't gotten around to it.

  • @TheSquidgal
    @TheSquidgal 2 роки тому +2

    If you are a classic movie lover, you learn that many of Graham Greene's books were adapted into wonderful movies. A good story translated well to the big screen is a sight to behold.

    "A World Full of Dickens Stories" looks so enchanting! Jannicke's thoughtful gift is so touching :) Related to this: is the Dickens v. Tolstoy discord still live? Is there another way to find out the scheduled readings? I tried emailing and sending an IG message-- I haven't heard back, but I'd love to participate! Love your channel and I thank you for all you share here :)

    The Waves is truly amazing!!! It’ll be such a treat for you since Mrs. Dalloway is my second favorite after that one.
    I can’t wait to read Hundred Years of Solitude with you! (I’m excited to read it after hearing Emma talk about it too). I hope you let your BookTube friends know when you’re planning to read it in advance ;)

    @RocketRoketto 2 роки тому

    the end of the affair will tear you apart, it's semi autobiographical and by semi, i mean mostly, and the 1999 movie adaptation with ralph firennes, stephen rea and julianne moore will rip whatever is left of you. mannnn id love to know what you think.
