    every time you upload a video, it's an awesome day. several of the books you've read, particularly the western, have caught my attention and I've been meaning to get around to reading them. amazing Colter Wall record in the background btw.

      Thank you beloved. Everyday is an awesome day.
      Yeah for sure check out lonesome dove and butchers crossing! They’re both fantastic.
      Also nice catch on the record, probably my favorite album by Colter, but all his stuff is great

    Oh I'm so glad you liked The Passenger and Stella Maris like you did! :D The Passenger is, in my not so humble opinion, McCarthy's true masterpiece. Best modern book I've read in ages. Coincidentally I also read The Revenant last year too. I liked it, although I do get why most people probably prefer the movie.

      I think the changes made for the film really bolstered the story, I may also be biased because it’s my favorite movie, and it’s not even close lmao
      Also yeah, TP and SM really, really rocked me. I felt spacey for around 3-4 days trying to process everything (mostly, just anything) How an author can reach so far beyond himself & his readers is just incredible. I’m a dude who never cared for science or math, yet I couldn’t put these books down, and that’s sayin somethin. A lot of somethins.

    You have an impressive list of books read!
    You're going to love A Sportsman's Sketches. Turgenev said Dostoevsky was the meanest Christian he ever met.
    Endo is a great novelist. Give The Samurai and The Sea and Poison a try.

      Turgenev’s comment is funny 🤣 but makes sense from what I know, Dostoevsky was pretty judgy about stuff & very peculiar. I do plan to check out more by both him and Endo! Thank you for your comment
