The first thing I thought when you held up Roxanna was Emma Angeline. It's going to be great to hear your opinion as well!

You have made me very interested in Parallel Lives! I'm also intrigued by the cover change of Pachinko - I am much more drawn to the original version, as I find it more artistic (and also very similar to the acclaimed Do Not Say We Have Nothing). I had to buy that edition before it could go out of print.

I also have black and British and really must get to it! I need to really kick myself into gear and get into more history. I have been enjoying learning more about black history and I enjoyed learning history at school, but yeah, bringing them together is a great motivation for me to get more involved, and unbury my head from the fantasy I read! The folio editions look beautiful and that blooper was so funny

That edition of Wuthering Heights is so so beautiful!!! That book is really great, I am thinking in read it again :) I am very intrigued about George Eliot's book. Since I read A Room of One's Own I want to know more about that author. Maybe it is going to be the next in my reading list.

I loved Parallel Lives. It was fascinating to see the contrasts between the marriages she explores.

I nearly piddled in my pants when I saw A Little Life. A wonderful story. Regarding 18th Century novels, I’ve read The Monk by Matthew Lewis which was... peculiar 😂 A lot was going on in those pages! My MA was on Romanticism (a focus on Shelley & Byron), did you study any poetry around that time?

A Litte Life is a really marmite book as far as I can tell, everyone I know who has read it either loved it or hated it, I haven't met anyone that fell somewhere in between (I've met a lot of people who dnf-ed it, too). I personally will never read it because there are some trigger warnings that affect me deeply. I can handle a depressing book but not in the particular way that A Little Life is depressing.

Thanks for enlightening me on folio editions I didn’t even know that was a thing! Do you have any advice for how to adjust to the old style prose and language in these 18th century novels? P.s. I love your videos, so intelligent. Just really great content.
