Wow, you got the same "The master and Margarita" I just bought! I have finished reading the Chinese translation of it. It directly became one of my favorites just from the first few pages I read in the bookstore in China! It is just brilliant! I want to read it again in English, and that book is just gorgeous. It feels like that book cover is just the way I hoped this book to look like. Great to see you got "Journey to the west" there. It is possibly the most loved children story in China through history, but it is also very entertaining and even inspiringly profound for adults as well. With many mataphors for life. Emma, you are so lovely, cultured, and open-minded. Love you.

I'm also in the process of reorganising my shelves & a good declutter. I really like the way you've organised your Classics by edition - looks very tidy. Also, what I mostly love about your bookshelves is the fact that your books actually LOOK read; broken spines, loved! As my Dad always says, "it's not a museum piece!" I loved Bone Gap, and a big YES to Daphne du Maurier, she's wonderful! Rebecca is one of my favourite books :-)

Your bookshelves are amazing and I had to laugh when you said you have even more books at your parents! I love the organization and the little crochet dolls abound, your friend is amazing! :D Regarding Saramago, the audio might be easier for the dialogue since he writes speech the way people talk - long sentences, not much ponctuation - and it can take a bit to get used to. I love his books and the themes he explores, I hope you enjoy Blindness (there's a movie as well if you want to compare it afterwards). I also recommend Death with Interruptions, beautiful little story! Also you will love Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveler" because it's about literature and the art and pleasure of reading! I'd say it's an autumn's book, if you're looking for suggestions!

Hi! I'm Japanese woman living in Tokyo. I really enjoy watching your lovely channel! If you like Kawabata's "Snow Country", I highly recommend Junichiro Tanizaki's "The Makioka Sisters"(It's little sad that Japanese original title is so much better than English one). Tanizaki, like Mishima, was one of the nominees for the Noble Prize in Literature.(Some say that one of the reasons Kawabata won the prize was because Tanizaki was dead and Mishima was young at that time. "The Makioka Sisters" is his one of the masterpieces which is beautiful elegant writing.(Actually, it's written using sophisticated Kansai dialect, a little sad that it is impossible to translate) And his "In Praise of Shadows" is also popular in the world. Murakami is popular in Japan, but not all Japanese love him, like Ghibli.(Everybody loves Ghibli in Japan) However, I think most Japanese appreciate the talent of the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa Era's writers, and esteem them. Their works are on another level, written with a refined sense of beauty and sophisticated sentences that are lost on the Japanese today. I'm sorry for super long comment and my poor English. Have a great day!

The structure of the book - "Confessions" by J. Cabre is like nothing I ever read before. In one sentence he can merge three timeliness, or a line that is said by multiple characters. It's a puzzle, but a rewarding one. Grand book! "Little life" I do not recommend ever picking up.

It's one of the best anime I've ever seen. The manga was written afterwards and had a totally different plot, so... Anime, definitely. Did you study Greek and Latin in college? I saw those textbooks. I was a Classical Studies major, so I did, too! I saw the Colleen Mccullough "Song of Troy" on your shelf - I like her Masters of Rome series, so I'll have to check that out. Thanks for all the recs!

I was pleasantly surprised to hear you talking about David Clement-Davies, I just finished Firebringer recently and I loved it! And you have Daughter of the Forest, one of my favourite books! Did you read it, did you like it? I recently finished the entire Sevenwaters Series and although the romance gets a bit repetitive, I really like the depiction and exploration of Celtic folklore and it was gratifying to read the whole saga. Also, I recently picked up the Outlander Series again after having stopped many years ago and it's true that you need some stamina, but it's worth it! I think you will also like Steppenwolf. I remember reading that in school and everyone liked it. I really love your channel, and your library!
