    “I have decided that I don’t care anymore about looking cool. I just want to buy things that make me happy.”
    Dude, this is an amazing quote! I am implementing this in my life right now!

    An underrated Canadian author you need to read is Douglas Coupland. His novels are creative and quietly humorous. Girlfriend in a Coma, Microserfs, Generation X, Jpod and so many more.

    You'll love The Door. Edith Wharton is my favourite American novelist; she's the first woman to win the Pulitzer for The Age of Innocence (I've read that 4 times), but The House of Mirth is definitely a close 2nd favourite. I can't wait to hear what you say about Wharton. I'm reading Go Ask Alice, it's a cool 50 year edition book and I just finished This Book Will Save Your Life- a super fun read and has a lot of good stuff for someone who is struggling with regrets. I'm the opposite of you- I read most of my life and now, I've not been reading. I love the book haul. P.S.- The Glass Castle is the best memoir ever. P.P.S.- I never watched the OC when it aired but watched it on Netflix and became obsessed with it

    Neil Gaiman!!! So freaking good - I think he also has a Master Class. AND I love when he’s the reader of his audiobooks! Pretty please explore his books - I’d love to hear your thoughts on his writing!

    Currently about 700 pages into Way of Kings for the first time and loving it. My favorite fiction book I’ve read this year though is because of your channel, Small Things Like These!

    Hello 💮
    I liked this video very much
    Keep making more videos like this I love it.
    By the way, if you pay a little attention to video editing i.e. insert B-roll properly then it will be very easy to understand the topic.

      Look, no matter what people say, I completely agree. Because B-Roll and subtitles are very important in video. 🍭

    The Glass Castle. This book literally changed my life and is one that I talk about constantly. You will not want to put it down, and you will want to call your parents every day after reading it. I look forward to hearing your review. I read it in literally one day while I was a sophomore in high school.

    @an24327 6 місяців тому +1

    YES! The Door was one of my favorite reads from last year. Beautiful, wrenching, and gripping story. Song of Solomon is my most recent read and my favorite of this year and favorite Morrison book! Will be top five for sure.

  • @peaseblossom4252

    Heaven & Earth is so good. It has sat with me for weeks now, since I finished it, and I just love the characters.
    I recently read Chain-Gang All-Stars, and was so surprised how much I loved it-it’s a book that I think you’d enjoy. And I’m currently in the middle of The Reformatory-my first horror novel, if it can be described as that. 1950’s Jim Crow setting. It’s really good-another one I could see you liking. Another great vid-thanks!

    • @Ash_Lo

    The Door is amazing - communist 60's Poland. Giovanni's Room is excellent, although I haven't read it in years - gay love story. I'm in Philadelphia, and we have a Giovanni's Room bookstore here. ☺

    Love it Nick when you share books i have never heard of and talk about bookstores and libraries,so inspiring because i live in Sweden and we dont have bookstores and so many libraries like you do(so its a treat to watch all your videos!!!). So glad i found you!!!

  • @artiste335
    @artiste335 6 місяців тому +1

    I read "The Door" recently...very different, bizarre. I have ordered "Stoner" -- can't wait to read it! Shirley Jackson is brilliant. I love James Baldwin...excellent choice! Re: Margaret Atwood...are you talking about the Master Class? The Glass Castle is very good.

  • @TammyM-fi1ib

    Hey Nick! I'm not sure if you have been to A Different Drummer books in Burlington, but if not, you should check it out! It's in an old house in downtown Burlington and I think you would like it! Love ya! ❤️

    Masterclass! Margot Atwood's one was fantastic, glad you picked her book up. She has a collection of essays as well that are great. Can't wait to hear what you think of her stuff! Also, I picked up Greenwood by Michael Christie, sounds so interesting!

    Man, i read Giovannis Room last month and it's one of my all time favourites now. The characters are so complex and feel so real, im excited to hear what you think about it!
    Also, I just finished "the one-hundred-year-old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared, very different vibe, but one of the funniest books i've read. Definitely a big recommendation.

    As a father I based my parenting off of the Dad from 10 Things I Hate About you, my oldest daughter is now 14 so I have to buy a pregnancy suit, great video as always and my spine breaker shirt came this week- love it super comfy and fits perfect! Cheers

    I just finished Song of Solomon and it blew my mind. Instant new top 10 for me. The characters and prose were beyond belief. I hope you pick that as your next Morrison (which would make sense cause it’s her third novel after The Brightest Eye and Sula;) ) and I’m excited to hear your thoughts.

    I really love The Handmaid's Tale not just for the story but her writing is incredible. (Was the missing phrase "Master class"?) anyway, shes the bomb

  • @mdipeace
    @mdipeace 6 місяців тому +1

    The Secret History is a great book and she is great writer. Unfortunately, The Goldfinch was a slog that I didn't finish. I got about halfway through and gave up. I got that far because she is a compelling writer but she tends to tell convoluted stories that start off intriguing but ultimately go nowhere (looking at you, The Little Friend, ugh). The books don't deliver on their promise. The only book that doesn't happen with is The Secret History.

    How do you find the time to do all of that reading?
    That said, I've gotten through The Stand, as recommended by you (loved it) and am about half way through 11/22/63 and am loving it even _more._ So, thanks!

    I have just bought "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. Do you think it is worth reading??
    Another thing. Did you read "Metro 2033?" I bought it yersterday because I loved the video game of it. It has a good reputation.

    Honestly, I've been reading the Secret History on and off sporadically for like the past three or four years - and I'm just over half way through. The writing's good, love Donna Tartt, but Secret History is so boring.
