In gonna pick up east of Eden after your loving words! My favorite lit fic is The Wall by Marlen Haushofer, very compelling and so beautifully written. Feminist, Nature, Solitude, loving animals, survival. What does it mean to be a woman when there are no other people around, no family no society to act the female role to. Daily survival life in Austrian mountains by planting beans, caring for animals, milking the cow, living with the seasons. Translated from german, published in 1963. And rereleased in English this year. Read it almost in 1 day so great for a reading Slump. A bit like Bear but no men and no sex

You are wonderful (& the FP knit is equally *chef's kiss*) and this was the perfect video to watch with that first coffee. I need to pick up Murakami's memoir soon, I'm in need of some motivation and it sounds just perfect for that. Theft by Finding makes me sooo emotional, I still have a quarter of it to go, but reading about his beginnings and hardships and path and just the ordinariness of it all is so inspiring, also I genuinely gasped when I got to his entry about meeting Hugh for the first time lol and just the way he wrote about the most random people he heard on the street or on the radio is an art in itself. While reading it, I keep telling myself to give the ol' diary another go, if only to just jot down all these random bits of life that don't even have much to do or at all with yourself, but that make it so special. Will you read his second diary volume? Also, once again, if you ever feel like it, I would love a video on theatre/plays from you, I really enjoy the way you discuss them and appreciate your insight :) ok, have a great beautiful week :)

GOOD eye on the FP! Murakami will absolutely motivate you (though, have I actually gotten up at 5am like I told myself I would? no hehe) TBF is one of the best encouragements of embracing the little things. Of course, Sedaris is hilarious, but he brings up amazing points of poignancy and truth. I cried many times during that read & will absolutely pick up his second diary volume (though I am not sure it will top his first volume). Thanks for the reminder on the play collection--I'll figure a way to implement it into one of my vids!

This is the first video I've seen from you (just popped up on KZitem for me), and of course with a name like Wallace Johnson, I have to ask - have you read The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson? Especially since you love nonfiction, this book is *incredible*! It's part detective story, part heist thriller, part history lesson, part investigative journalism... it's easily one of the best books I've ever read, and I'm not even too keen on nonfiction. Basic synopsis: a young flautist steals exotic, rare bird feathers from a British history museum with the intention of selling them on the black fly-tying market in order to buy a golden flute. It's really a wild ride.

I have another non fiction about Rwanda that looks really good. It's in English (written by a French author too I think). I hope to read it soon to talk about it and tell you about it. David Sedaris : I'm planning to buy his books while I'm on vacation ! Hope to find them at a good price. And of course Ken Kesey's book, I love it so much. One of the most beautiful prose I've ever seen ! Love that we share the same love for this book :-) I read it while on vacation in Montreal. It's so gorgeous !!! I've finally read Jon Kakrauer's book about the Everest, loved it too ! I almost gave away twice The Devil in the white city but I've heard about the film adaptation (or series ?) so I'm glad to have kept it !!! Please if you love this book, read The Five by Hallie Rubenhold - it's so good (historical and gives you the real facts about Jack The Ripper's victims and it shows London as I've never seen it before). I should definitely shoot the same video :-) As for the play, please read A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. I've finally bought The Idiot and want to read it.

Yeah! I absolutely can. For me, when I wanted to get back into reading, I picked a book I was 100% intrigued by. No matter if it was heralded as a great book, classic, best seller, etc. If you read based on other people’s opinions, you’ll never feel fulfilled by your own experience. I say choose a book about a topic you already love and want to learn more about. It always works for me.

@@AnaWallaceJohnson I agree, I recently started reading the Game of thrones book 1, and after few days finished over 500 pages of it. It was surprising to me that I have finished reading so many pages. It is wonderful to read when I am fully interested in the book. Thanks for the inspiration.

I also enjoyed, if you can enjoy a book about a real serial killer and his murders, Devil in the White City. I think we have the idea that serial killers are a modern invention but they aren't and this guy was scary.

I've seen the movie for The Beach and loved it. Does the book have similar vibes?

Definitely similar vibes, but the movie took a lot of strange artistic liberties. Loved the book so much more. More grounded and realistic.

The worst acting job I ever had was playing HH Holmes in a Halloween season haunted house thing. Fortunately I was saved by the thing getting shut down by the miracle of Hurricane Sandy because it was located in the Lower East Side. I was so happy. I will never ever be tempted to work in one of those again. It was just a mill of over and over again a billion times a night this little two minute whatever horror scene they had me do. I got my photo doing that posted in an article in The NY Times on line edition though (shrug). Meanwhile I made a “comedy” 50 second “short” yesterday in my modeling outfit after my work day yesterday that has Animal Farm reference: “Does Animal Farm have Bunnies?” kzitem.infoJ0Oep5jjgwg?feature=share

😂… your videos are always fun … thank you … check out Telling Tales an anthology of one act plays edited by Eric Lane … Also, I heard Sarah Kane’s plays are pretty intense…I’d like to read Sam Shepard’s plays at a certain point … & of course I loved Beckett’s End Game … Right now on the fiction front I’m reading East of Eden, Gone Girl, & The Natural.
