Hi Steve. I met you through Matthew’s channel, and you are my favorite UA-camr. You and Matthew. I don’t need other booktube channels. Thanks for your work! My mother loves you!
Well that's very nice to hear, but aren't you limiting yourself? What about Sarah the Bookish Knitter, our Queen of Romance? or Olive at a Book Olive and Ollie at Criminolly, who prove you can have a big channel and still be completely, wonderfully genuine? Or what about the younger generation, brilliant, chatty Joe Spivey or, heck, Micah Cummins, who still makes a video every year? There's plenty of must-watch BookTube - although I applaud your mother's taste!
Or Stephen E. Andrews, our Outlaw Bookseller? Or Britta Bohler and Hannah at Hannah's books, who bring more brains and insight to this than all the rest of us combined? Or Kelly at Books I'm Not Reading, the nicest person you'd ever want to watch? I can't imagine restricting my Booktube-viewing to two channels!
Hey Steve, not sure how often you get to NYC but thought I'd ask if you have a favorite used bookstore here (other than Strand.) Thanks for all your videos. It's always a pleasure to see new ones in my feed!
Have you ever done a vid on war novelists? As Deighton's 'Bomber' is my second favourite WWII novel (not that I've read a huge number) I would be very interested to discover 20 new (to me) writers better than him.
Is there an equivalent today of the Silver Fork novels of Disraeli? I think part of the problem reading him is that he wrote in a genre that's completely forgotten.
Hello Steve. I have read one book by Disraeli. It was Sybil. I wouldn't want to read another. I did enjoy a short Disraeli biography by Douglas Hurd and Edward Young and intend to read another of theirs on Sir Robert Peel. Maybe books about Disraeli are more readable than books by Disraeli.
Ah. The delightful “wintry mix” so dear to hearts of New Englanders. Yuck. Glad you got a chance to get to the Brattle before sleety, needle-like freezing rain arrives in Boston.
Freida reminds me of my late mini dachshund Wolfie. I had just bought him home at 2-3 months old and we were outside when it those slow fat drops of rain started falling. He yelped at every drop that hit his back like it was acid and he never changed his mind about rain throughout his life.
Lol I thought you said that being an author is not a talent but a muscle. If that's the case then Disraeli should have been at least ok because of the exercise that muscle got. Lmao

Top 20 war novelists of the 20th century? Sounds like a good idea for a video :)
Great video.
Len Deighton is still living, aged 94 years.

My favorite Signet Classics is an old copy of A Tale of Two Cities with a painting of the fall of the Bastille on it I still have it somewhere
Steve, can you have a cottage full of books and NOT be a book collector?
New to Booktube. Why don’t bother Booktubers like you?
So grateful to you for teaching me to love older books!

That would be Housing Works on Crosby Street!
Some very different books there.
Deighton isn’t dead

That’s a great copy of the Book of the Seven Seas! My TBR is never going to go unscathed if I keep watching your videos. 😅🤣
have you started building your ark for you and the Bean yet?
Quite cold here in Montréal but today was mild.
Ah. The delightful “wintry mix” so dear to hearts of New Englanders. Yuck. Glad you got a chance to get to the Brattle before sleety, needle-like freezing rain arrives in Boston.
Oh, here's hoping it isn't wintry mix! Here's hoping it's just rain!

Rain is coming. She can feel it, I can feel it. It'll be days of arguing!
The Schubert book for for £100 in UK. I gave mine to a Schubert buff in a moment of madness. The similar Bach volume is never leaving my house.
100????
£75 plus £24 postage was the cheapest i could find snd ut was only "good', which means anything but good.@@saintdonoghue

Hah! But as I mention in this video, he wrote for money. He never exercised his author muscles - only his speculator muscles.
