You are far more articulate than you think honestly; your way of portraying ideas, specifically when you go in depth about the different perspectives of reading, is very profound for only four or so months of reading. Keep it up bro, its nice to see someone actually have true passion for reading now, not just mass-producing videos for money/views.
Books are basically the internet before the internet. you can read peoples ideas, opinions, hopes, dreams, ramblings, social theories etc etc from the last 2000 years
Your mom and dad are active readers... Your aunt is a poet... I knew your sharpness for art didn't come out of nowhere, i imagine i'd be soo cool growing up in such environment, and even though you just started reading, you have such an articulated way of voicing your ideas! I've been reading for like three years now and cant share thoughts so clearly like you do. You are an inspiration!
“I have lived a thousand lives and I've loved a thousand loves. I've walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.” - George R.R Martin!!
This is fantastic. You're obviously a passionate, thoughtful and articulate person. Your reading journey will serve you well. I'm 53 now, and have always been a reader, despite growing up in a household of non-readers. I read throughout grade school, high school and university, and never stopped afterwards. I recently was 'downsized' from a position I held for 30+ years, and one of the few things that keeps me hanging on is my daily reading. I honestly can't imagine not reading. I look forward to hearing more about your reading journey; what you're reading, and how it's changing you. Cheers. p.s. Philosophy Degree here. Rare to hear someone on Kierkegaard. That's heavy material. Bravo.
this book had me standing up and smiling the same way you described how it was reading dorian gray. I already love reading but you just made me love reading even more. I love hearing you talk about literature and how raw and inspired your thoughts are :) happy new year dante
You just popped up in my algorithm and listening to you talk about a newfound joy in reading is so inspiring. I've been a reader my whole life and I love seeing people come to the hobby, and your enthusiasm is infectious! Definitely subscribing. Excited to watch your literary journey.
I love your passion and the way you communicate and share your joy of reading. Have you ever thought of becoming a college professor or a high school teacher? You would have the kids hanging on your every word.
I’m still trying to get back into reading after starting my 9-5 last year. This video really gave me the courage to keep up with my goal, even if it’s a paragraph or five pages. I love reading, and I really don’t want to lost that love for it completely!!!
I don't comment too much on videos, but wanted to thank you for posting this. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I've been trying to get into reading the past few days and am having trouble. This video has inspired me a ton. Thanks so much.
My nephews and nieces were complaining because there was an Internet outage a couple years back. I had to introduce them to stephen kings “misery”. A good book library, film and music collection is all you need. Physical copies.
6:46 bro i kid you not, i randomly picked up a book to read out of my moms hundreds of books and it was this one. this is before i even heard of your channel. i read a few pages and but i haven’t touched it in a week or so and now i hear you say this. it’s gotta be divine intervention telling me to read man. or maybe im just trippin its 2am
Brady mentioned!🗣 I love that finding Brady’s content had such an impact on you and your reading journey. I hope he starts posting on UA-cam because I just deleted TikTok haha Anyways, your passion is palpable!! That’s what keeps me coming back every single time. I hope your videos end up inspiring others to read more. If anyones reading this, get a library card! It may seem like reading is an expensive hobby but it doesn’t have to be! 💛
Just found your channel today and had to watch all your videos. It’s meant a lot to hear that the bell jar meant so much to you as it’s often discredited to only being for ‘sad teenage girls’ I really recommend you read cormac mccarthy if you haven’t already, for his subjects on fate, religion, and overall bleak atmosphere.
Love the realness ❤ I read the picture of dorian gray for my first book of the year after watching your other video. Was sat on my shelf for years, so thankyou 👌
Dorian Gray is ah-making~ (what did you think of chapter 11, that was a little bit of a drag if I remember). I suggest Crime and Punishment next, or We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Currently I’m into Japanese and Korean novellas. I love your passion of reading!!
Love your videos! And I totally agree with your thoughts about why books are so important and a great gift to us all.🙌🏽 Hope to see more videos from you 🙏🏽
I was a huge reader when I was younger, but by the end of middle school and definitely through high school, school itself really took a hit to my passion for it, and I've been trying to regain that passion for the past few years. I'll read a book or three a year, but I really want to get back into how I was before, getting so involved and finishing books in a day or so. One that really moved me recently was Song of Solomon, I felt very changed after reading... Also Annihilation did the same. Life often gets in the way, being busy with work or school or family and all that, but it's worth it to carve out a little time for yourself to immerse yourself in a book. Your passion is palpable, I can hear and feel it through the screen. Love it, let's all try our best to become better readers
I saw in your first video that you loved "sad" books with themes of loneliness and alienation. I think No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is a perfect book for you. I definitely need to warn you that there are very drak/serious themes and events that happen in the story but i think you will love the book. Its a fictional story but its kind of an autobigaraphy because it is based on Osamu Dazais own life. Also keep up the great work i love your vids
3:50 You said Waldo because there is another great American writer named Ralph Waldo Emerson. Their names are easy to mix up, haha. You should def read both!
how do you track your books? if you do at all, I use Goodreads, if you do have a Goodreads acc I would love to follow because the books you read are so much fun to hear about!
thank you for being so vulnerable and passionate i think that’s the best way to help others find the same feeling! i love to read but i always fall asleep after a few pages lol and struggle to pick up books even though i like to, do you have any advice? also i just finished the stranger by albert camus too!
Reading is the bare minimum, you literally need the basic fundamentals of reading to live in this world. If you have to force people to read or do the bare minimum like using their brain, it’s just not there.

I fuck wit ur style of videos. Not too edited and real is all I need. Reading is a life changer fr glad some people can see that in these times

Also I noticed you barely use filler words!!
I love the return to reading movement from the younger generation
Giovannis room is probably one of my favorite books of all time, its amazing🥹

I’ve been reading regularly again for about a year now and somehow you’ve made me want to get even more into it. Your passion is contagious

no joke this is the most inspiring video I've ever watched. you've convinced me 100%.
your passion is so contagious. as someone who is also relatively new to literature (~2 years) hearing your passion and journey thus far is awesome.
Your passion and excitement for reading is palpable and completely contagious. Automatically subscribed, love this!
