I love this tag. Thank you for sharing the books that made you, it was lovely to get to know them, and you, even better. 😊What a lovely way to show some support through the story of ´the minotaur takes a cigarette break´; I know how much books can help when we´re in a bad place, for whatever reason. I think that´s why I still love anything Found Family, and stories about lonely people, so much; they always make me feel less lonely. Feel hugged! 🥰 Having stuff in common, I think, should come down to values and moral opinions, not what kind of books you like, we know that c: I don´t read much non-fiction, but I´ve loved most of the sociology texts we´ve had to read for university. :D
Wonderful list, and video, thanks for sharing! I was tempted to put the same Judith Butler book, but since I read the Mary Daly book first that one was more of a pivot point for me. I really appreciate your discussion around "The Minotaur...," because it is a beautiful testament to how monumentally important a (relatively) small gesture toward a friend can be. Also, your wife clearly has good taste 😄. I read Cronin's _The Ferryman,_ his newest release, and enjoyed it a lot. I will add _The Passage_ trilogy what seems to be a heaping pile of trilogies to read.
Lol, one scene in particular still gives me the shivers every time I think about it - the topiary animals... that's even more scary to me than what's in Room 217!
At some point I'll pick The Passage up again. See if I can approach it with a more open mind now that I know what's coming ... great video, Alex -- very illuminating!

Absolutely love The Shadow of the Wind! Great list
Cheers! Thanks for watching 😊
The shining still haunts my dreams

@@alex_unabridged hahaha I know right. Such a great book
Yes!!! Can't agree more about Project Hail Mary. The audiobook was amazing
Absolutely! 😀I've had some amazing audiobook experiences, but that one's going to take a hell of a lot to top.
@@alex_unabridged Right! It's hard to compare

Cheers, buddy 😀Glad you enjoyed it. I would be really interested to see how you do with a Passage re-read!
