great selection of books and love the commentary - never heard Piranesi recommended by an architect before and i'm even more keen to pick it up now =) i didn't get on with the Hour of the Star but i did like some of her short stories. would love to hear more of your opinions bout her writing ✨

Just a little reminder that Mishima was a literal fascist and a nostalgic of imperial Japan who tried to organise a military coup to overthrow the democratic government, and after seeing he failed he committed suicide by seppuku. I don't mean it implying that you shouldn't enjoy his literature, I myself loved Confessions of a mask, I felt it was precisely this dark and twisted character of the writer what made the story so special; I just think it is important to keep it in mind and reflect on separating the art from the artist, as the comment you made on him looking cool sounded a bit weird to me. Very nice list nonetheless!

omg this was such a good haul i remember finding Yoshimoto's Kitchen just fine, but excited to look at her other works for this year. i've got Amrita on deck. to this day i can't believe i got this huge monograph of James Dean photos for $2 at a library sale. it's the perfect coffee table book!

@nathansnook thank you so much, we love a bargain! your bookshelves tour inspired me to pick up more art-coffee table books, because I tend to not browse in that section 😅 i’m so so excited to read Yoshimoto’s writing, I have a feeling i’m going to love her, I might read all the ones I own this coming May. 💚

I found a pristine copy of The Children's Book by A.S.Byatt for 1 Euro very close to when someone had just recommended it to me. Anna Karenina is definitely a good place to start with Tolstoy, but no need to be worried about War and Piece. It's fabulous and it reads like watching a telenovela most of the time.

@petitedimanche hello again 😸 can’t wait to read more but so far i’m enjoying it
I'm also reading the hour of the star this month! Also, the secret history and funny weather: art in emergency by olivia laing. I dont want to put much more on my list, i'm still getting back into reading more regularly.
@hipanna2773 hello I love The Secret History! Let me know how the Olivia Laing book goes, I really want to try her work but I don’t know where to start. Also let’s discuss Lispector when we’re done 🫂
Hi 👋🏽 I found your channel from the modern classics video. Piranesi is one of my favorites. Interested to hear what you think of it. Also, is the discord link only for 1q84?
@theliterarylayer hello 😸 i’m rereading Piranesi this month i’m hoping to love it even more, yeah the discord link is for the 1Q84 (for now atleast haha)
What book has influenced you the most?
