    Love how Ben has started a whole movement of one take back to basic (in a good way) chats. Really enjoyed this. You have tempted me to The Bee Sting, I will save that for a long weekend for holiday. Ps. I felt very similarly about Tulum and Cancun, lucky to have gone but totally won't be going back, will head somewhere less known if I ever go back to Mexico.

      Omg I know he’s truly a trend setter! Next we will all be doing “what’s in my bag” lol. Agree on Tulum, didn’t know you had gone before but sooooo many people were from the uk and Europe it shocked me, long way to travel!

    I love the lips! I just got mine done last week...very subtle just like yours. Beautiful. If anyone wants to dive deeper into Ayn Rand, I recommend Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead. They helped me understand her philosophy of "objectivism" in a way that doesn't sound so black and white. Also, knowing her background (born and educated in Russia) helped me understand her view of the world. It may not be for everyone, but it's more layered and nuanced than most people think.

    Love a casual chat tbh. I probably wouldn't have picked up the Book of Ayn before but it sounds good!

    The Book of Ayn sounds right up my alley but not available here (Australia) until November. Writing it in my notebook...

    I’m biased because I work at Clara Drummond’s publisher but this book is exceptional!! Highly recommend! Would also recommend Stenio Gardel’s The Words That Remain which won the National Book Award - its a tiny read about a 70 year old gay man who decides to learn how to read so he can read the letter his childhood lover left him.

    Not really weird but definitely quirky and funny in their own way, "Greta & Valdin" and "Interesting Facts About Space" have been two of my faves this year so far! Love a more sit down type of video, your personality shines through :))

    I just finished this phenomenal new book of fairy tales entitled Sillies, Fancies, and Trifles - it was phenomenal and I think you'd love it. It would go with the lovely recommendations here. Keep up the beautiful videos :)

    currently reading bad marie by marcy dermansky & enjoying it for what it is- unhinged! doesn’t quite fit into weird per se, but it is a shorty that reads quickly

    ooh you made me want to read The Bee Sting! I just read Trust by Domenico Starnone, which was good! after watching and loving Challengers I heard someone compare it to the play Betrayal, by Harold Pinter - also good!

      @@CJReads I thought it was brilliant! Funny that you mentioned Birnam Wood because I made that same exact comparison in my head after I read the ending.

    girl I noticed the lip filler immediately! You look great as usual. I've been trying to listen to The Bee Sting but it's an audible exclusive. boring
    Just finished Happiness Falls by Angie Kim and now I'm listening to The Women and reading-reading Franny and Zooey.

    Cj hate to break it to you but I Who Have Never Known Men was a HUGE disappointment. Plot wise it never moves on from the basic premise in the blurb nor did i come away with any real sense of the characters or even any atmospheric vibes, To me could have been a short story or pamphlet of a few pages. Also highly repetitive. Do not recommend you spend your time on that one PS the choice is yours but you were already beautiful before imo
