Listen, Frankenstein is basically about creating chaos and then regretting your life choices. It's giving major 'oops, I didn't think this through' vibes. Plus, the creature has more feels than half the internet. give it a shot you might actually end up rooting for the monster.

Frankenstein is actually a very fun read. The monster has more depth than you'd expect him to, based on the Hollywood reinterpretations of the work. Victor Frankenstein is a neurotic box of nerves, who I imagine most people will find amusing. "What makes Frankenstein a classic are its explorations of the effects of loneliness on an individual, the intellect's inability to overcome loneliness, and the mistake of achievement for achievement's sake without any regard for the morality of one's actions. The campy "horror" bits that are in the story are more amusing than anything. Some reading's of Frankenstein assert that Victor might have created the monster due to a possible latent attraction to his own gender, which I think is a fun interpretation of the work that I suspect you'll see evidence for.

The narrator of Nabokov's Lolita has a much more entertaining, seductive voice than the narrator of Pnin does. If you do read Lolita, I caution you not to fall for the narrator's attempts to manipulate you into sympathizing with him. The narrator of Lolita will show you what a monster he is, if you pay attention. The narrator spends a lot of time trying to convince you that he knew what Dolores's true thoughts and feelings were, but I would urge any reader to be attentive to the small glimpses in "Lolita" where one can find Dolores's true voice. Nabokov himself described "Lolita" as a moral test. Don't fall for the narrator's deceptions or sophistry.

That thin little vintage hardcover Walden! 😍 Confessions is the very first autobiography in history! Pessoa's is a book of aphorisms. They're both hard... Samuel Beckett also chose to write in a foreign language (French), in order to sound more neutral and thus avoid the "style" and "voice" he had acquired in his native English. I never understood why some authors do this, I struggle to find an authentic voice myself!

Just so you know, i literally ordered foreign affairs by Alison Lurie because you mentioned how much you loved it, and I loved it as well! So the least you could do is crack open this lovely classic and enjoy!! and remember, it is like a flower: a story told within a story within a story. Also an 18 year old girl wrote it, and is now basically, the mother of all science fiction! Anyway. I love your channel. You're cheeky and funny and very intellectual without being a snob.

Oh, I wasn’t expecting this! I am Portuguese and my favourite book is The book of disquiet by my favourite author Fernando Pessoa. I love his poetry too. It shaped my teenage brain in a good/fucked up way 🥹 I don’t have words to describe how painfully realistic almost nihilistic that book is. I relate to his thoughts a lot. He was definitely an outsider and loved to live inside his own mind. He gives a voice to things I’ve felt but couldn’t describe. I’m curious to know what you think!! 🤗

Frankenstein is a great book, IMO, but it has its flaws. The are one or two instances where Frankenstein is unbelievably stupid for such a smart man. The question of how much responsibility a creator bears for his creations is an interesting subject, and the book handles that conflict brilliantly. I am not a fan of Nabokov's style either, although I recognize his brilliance, particularly writing in a second language. I find it showy and pretentious. That being said, it works in Lolita, because the main character is a pretentious narcissist. It's a unique treatment of a brilliant, educated but depraved mind as unreliable narrator.

You popped up on my YT feed, so I had to take a look. The Pessoa is excellent, as is the NYRB Du Maurier ("The Birds" is quite a bit different from the Hitchcock film). Definitely read REBECCA, great film and underrated novel (her book on Cornwall is also very good). Looks like your Walden is abridged, as most editions are a lot thicker. Thoreau was a bit of a cheat; his cabin was just outside Concord, and he had dinner almost every evening at Emerson's house (I was on a protest march decades ago to Walden Pond, as developers wanted to put up condos and whatnot there). Most philosophy courses read at least a bit of Meditations, and our used book store regularly gets requests for copies, along with Seneca's works. We also recently received a large collection of Augustine's works and studies about his works; he's a seminal writer on Christianity. I've read everything by Roth, and he's a mixed bag - The Human Stain is arguably better than Operation Shylock. Frankenstein is interesting structurally, with stories within stories, and every family unit is broken (no mother, no father, etc.). Gaitskill, who knows - she sits on our shelves unloved, whereas we can't keep anything by Nabokov for more than a week. If you're interested in sci-fi/horror/fantasy, try John Wyndham (Day of the Triffids, The Trouble With Lichen, Chocky, The Midwitch Cuckoos, etc.).
