@ellias in what world is this happening? Oh my god hello, I love your content so much, I love your cat Piranesi, I love The Starless Sea! I've read and loved Swimming in the Dark and Lie with Me, i'll make sure to add The Cat Who Saved Books and Vita Nostra on my tbr. Thank you so much for commenting on my video, literally on cloud 9. 😸

I’m starting the Percy Jackson series for the first time as a 29 year old and I’m loving it! I wish I had discovered it as a child, but there’s something so reminiscent about reading it as an adult. I liked hearing about your others as well and added to my tbr! Happy to have stumbled across your page. Thank you for sharing!

Mary Oliver's Devotions and A Psalm For The Wild-Built, these two books just really screams my name. Tackling nature and life worries with the strong vibe very similar to Haruki Murakami's forest descriptions and musings during Kafka's stay on the cabin!!

hi, i’m new here and i’m also new in starting a reading habit. All of these books sound fun and beautiful, can’t wait to read it all (i already had on earth we’re briefly gorgeous on my shelf hehe) thank you so much for the video, i love it. Please keep doing this, it’s very comforting. Have a nice day🤍

I love your reading list :)

You're so cool, I loved the recommendations! :)

i totally share the excitement about the picture of dorian gray, piranesi and the secret history. one book that broke me and you should definitely read, if you haven't, is the bell jar, which always reminds of the catcher in the rye (a book i used to hate and now is a top pick for me upon a reread). but my fav book ever might be orlando, by virginia woolf. for non-fiction reads, my fav is big magic from elizabeth gilbert! :)

Loved this review! A lot of the books you've read are exactly my cup of tea too or are on my tbr list. I also loved Percy Jackson and Avatar the a last airbender as a child (and still ofc). 🥰

i re-read the lightning thief to kick this year off and it was such a good idea. i also read quite heavy/dark books and it was nice to remember not all my reads have to be so dreary lol

The lightning thief is such a comfort read. I remember rereading it in the beginning of 2022 🔱 it's the best

I love someone that doesn’t play ab Percy Jackson, Piranesi, AND tsh 🙌🙌 Additionally, my top Murakami rec is always 1Q84… it will take you places.

my all-time favorite book is Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, I think in your newest video you talk about Siddhartha and Demian, if you like Demian I would highly recommend you check that one out :) it's just one of those books that - as you said - make me feel so seen and like it's been written for me personally also love your channel, I feel like it's right up my alley and I'm looking forward to your future videos

I recommend Last man in tower by Aravind Adiga. The story is really memorable. It plays in India but you could imagine the same plot and characters in the Eastern bloc in the 80s/90s. Not spoiling anything just a recommendation 😊

"Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close. In another masterpiece of Dostoevsky, THE IDIOT, the main character is called ‘idiot’ by the people because they can’t understand his simplicity, his humbleness, his purity, his trust, his love. You can cheat him, you can deceive him, and he will still trust you. He is really one of the most beautiful characters ever created by any novelist. The idiot is a sage. The novel could just as well have been called THE SAGE. Dostoevsky’s idiot is not an idiot; he is one of the sanest men amongst an insane humanity. If you can become the idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, it is perfectly beautiful. It is better than being cunning priest or politician. Humbleness has such a blessing. Simplicity has such benediction".
