Hi Lillian! You know you've gone and nearly broken your no-hour-long book haul rule, much to the delight of your audience.😀 I'm a big fan of your epic book hauls! FYI: Phillip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is the inspiration behind the film "Blade Runner." I've had that same edition of Gilbert and Gubar's "The Madwoman in the Attic" on my bookshelf since the 90's (most, if not all, of your lifetime) and still have not read it, I'm so embarrassed to say.😯I'm sure you won't wait quite that long to read your copy, but, like you say, "time is not real." 😆 Looking forward to your thoughts on all of these! I'd enjoy a video tour of your favorite DC bookstores (if you're comfortable with that) and a tour of your bookshelves. And I'm still very much looking forward to your Paris vlog. Again, it's great to have you back on Booktube! I hope you're enjoying the holidays. Happy (almost) New Year! Despite everything, I want to make it as good of a 2025 as I can with lots and lots of "spiteful hope" as you say!
So good to see you back Lillian. At least I think it was you. Couldn't see you behind that big stack of books. Who said that? Not Mary Shelly beating her drum at the front of multiple literary genres. I've read a few of those - The Fact of a Doorframe, The Omnivore's Dilemma, The Memory Police, The Wasteland. Re: Mrs Dalloway... Have you read The Hours by Michael Cunningham? It's a triptych of stories, a tagteam of parallel storytelling: Virginia Woolf when she was writing Mrs Dalloway; a 1950's housewife reading Mrs Dalloway; and a modern Mrs Dalloway. It's one of my favourites and was turned into a film. I've been meaning to pick up Louise Gluck for awhile. I have a bind-up of the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe, but I agree that a slimmer volume would be nice. Some friends suggested doing a buddy-read of In Search of Lost Time by Proust. That would be quite ambitious as it's in 7 volumes, around 4000 pages, and 1,175,999 words to be precise. I always love hearing your recommendations/mentions of books on historical memory. I might have to create a list of them, though I know many have slipped my mind. Suggestion for a video: wink wink nudge nudge... Do a whole video on books about historical memory, perhaps? I'm currently reading The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter, and The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane. Again, it's so lovely to see you back in the booktubosphere 💚
Glad you're back!
@@zc9920 thank you, thank you!!
