I like the black classic collections you have. The one above your head. I was going to participate in a Proust readalong, but I just haven't had the time. Plus, I don't have the book(s). Have you read Stalin by Kotkin? Prometheus has read volumes 1 & 2. We've been waiting for vol. 3 since 2020. You knickknack the London Eye and Big Ben is pretty cool.
@@BookZealots I haven't read Stakin by Kotkin. I have read the two biographies by Simon Sebag Montefiore. And the one by Martin Amis. My favorite is the one I held up Young Stalin, which follows his story until he became Soviet leader, showing some of what made him the tyrant he became: a brutal childhood, the Tbilisi seminary, the tragic death of his first wife etc...
@@jimsbooksreadingandstuff Prometheus has told me the story of Stalin and his ruffian/gangster lifestyle and his childhoold accident, etc. And then as typical for tyrannical leaders they become paranoid and that never leads to anything good. I'll check to see if my son has the one you like. If not, it'll be a future surprise. =) Thank you for sharing.
Disney's The Sword In The Stone. Classic childhood memory!
I have fond memories of certain Disney movies I watched as a child like The Jungle Book.
Really enjoying your book shelf tour as much for all the niknaks as for the books 😊
I do have a lot of "stuff" on the shelves hence the name of the channel... books, reading and stuff!
Love your library!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting sk...sk...sk...Scully :)

@@BookZealots A lot of tyrannical leaders suffered childhood abuse, like Stalin and Hitler.
