Yeah, long books can take a while to get going - I know this from the Russian classics I've read. Of course, what draws me to long classics is the connection they have to things like philosophy and history. Like, Les Miserables - people complain about the digressions, but that's the thing for me: I don't necessarily read just for the stories and characters. This is why I like Dostoevsky, his characters are meant to be representatives of the ideas culminating in Russia at the time; they approach a fundamental saying: "people embody ideas." And those ideas can be from lifetimes ago or the ones right now presently. That's why I read fiction: to encapsulate ideas through means of drama and themes; but even then we must be careful to not let poetry blind us to the truth of the matter. That is where philosophy comes into play. Enjoyed the video!

Seemed like an interesting line up of books - well, other than the one about the pornstar. That makes me squirm in my seat to think about that premise; but I won't go off on a tangent, lol. And hopefully the liberal mass media won't come knocking on my door. The holier-than-thou attitude can get annoying, but we have to keep in mind where it comes from: a place of virtue, or the want for virtue. And so I respect the likes of those people more than those who are amoral - like whoever wrote the book previously mentioned. But that's just my two cents. Lol. Enjoyed the video.

I'm still waiting for a philosophy book review!!! Lol. Jk. I need to start working out again. Last year I got down to 170 lbs, but now I'm at about 220 - which could be worse at 6'0. I want to shoot for 190-200 again. I think that'll be a good sustainable weight. My biggest goal is to finish my writing project for Plato around October. If I do about 400 words a day, I should. Reading-wise I plan to keep my current system going. I do about 150 pages a day, 13 books, and have an embedded note-taking and journaling practice for 4 of those books. Given that my pages are spread throughout so many books, I never really read one in a single month. I just focus on daily pages read rather than books read.

Books I got this month? Not many. Let's see... (off the top of my head, lol), I got a book about George Berkeley, the famous idealist philosopher, which serves as my introduction to his thought . . . that's the only one I can think of right now, lol, but I know I got some others. I've been reading it for a few days. I'm an idealist, I think in terms of universals, abstracts - modes of general thought - and so Berekely's Immaterialism really interests me. Been going steady with my writing project for Plato's Symposium - at 22,000 words out of 100. I haven't hit too many obstacles. Yet. I'm just waiting for the ball to drop, when the ideas don't flow like they should. And if I could escape this cloudy headedness that would be great. I don't blame you for putting down that one book about the cheating wife. Terrible thing to think about. I sometimes wonder about why someone may cheat. One of the biggest reasons, and it has to do with our current culture, is the casualization of sex. It teaches men and women to view it as a form of indulgence and pleasure that lacks all emotion, logic, and beauty. It detaches them from real intimacy and so the bonds of loyalty snap in two. It's a coldness. That's the thing: this so called "progressive" culture is trying to remove real love and replace it with some knock-off. A love that hasn't the grace and purity to last. Lol. That's why I'm an ascetic. Forgive me for going off. It just kinda struck a little bit of a nerve. 😅 Enjoyed the video!

What a comment! I hope your cloudy headedness has gone away and you haven’t hit any obstacles in your writing Project yet! I too have some strong feelings about cheating but tend to leave it at a “that’s not for me” statement lol. Hope all is well and you’re having a good start to your New Year!

In your thumbnail is a spelling mistake, Brooke. Thank you for your recommendations. ❤
That was actually so embarrassing haha! Thank you for pointing that out!!!
I hope you LOVE The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches it is definitely one of my favourites of the year so far!! Also absolutely love The Folk of the Air trilogy, can't wait to see your reading vlog on it!!
Thank you so much! I’m so excited for the fall reading vibes 🥰
Hoarding books is not a personality. Get a talent. Do something. I know that you know how being bland and papercut copy of a white girl is horrible. So do something different....
I just finished The Nanny, I liked it, but also agree it was a bit too long. Congrats on getting married soon!!!
So glad I’m not the only one to feel this way! & thank you so much!! 🥹💗
Just found your channel and subscribed!! You have so many good books here, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Poppy War, I read it in april and loved it (still haven't read the other two though), hope you end up loving it too!!
So glad you decided to stick around 🥰 I’m glad you’re confirming everything I’ve heard about the Poppy War and will definitely be sharing once I get to it (probs fall/ winter time)!
Came here for the book reviews, stayed for Scooter’s antics 🥺
😂 he has to be a part of the videos and adds a little something extra! I’m glad you enjoy him too! 😊
you are doing it great ♥ amazing person
Thank you so much 🥰💗
