I love your content. This is just the kind of video I love. Also, YES to a video about how to start our own Booktube channel.

[michaelgluckstein-rknt]

Tristan's expositional skill is sublime. Even books he hasn't read yet are comprehensively elucidated.

[sharondunn]

I love that you have made an ethical choice not to read Lolita. It does affect the reader when we go into a character's POV. I have closed books that were written in a serial killer's POV. There are just some places we don't need to go as readers.

[Val-vk]

I just love how, but of course, eloquently you’ve explained your stance on Lolita. And I love you for having it, a true intellectual, in mind and heart. I tried reading it in my early 20’s because I’ve heard it’s a masterpiece and a must-read. It didn’t take long before I got sick to my stomach and closed it never to pick it up again.
Always a pleasure to listen to you, another great video ❤️

[veronicamaria]

The comment on "Lolita" really resonated. I've read many Stephen King novels, but there are a handful I stopped reading because I couldn't go where the main character was going.

[maryfilippou]

Youve convinced me this time, Tristan. I left off at page 300 reading Anna Karenina the day before we croosed the Channel to see the Prince of Wales marry young Lady Diana Spencer. I was really into it bu on return from our Devin holiday with 3 kids, I saved the book, but never returned to it. Your relish for their exuberant lives has me ferreting out that marvelous novel just below me now. Thank you! As ever for this wonderful, worthy Channel

[RolledLs]

The Stranger is truly a unique paradoxical masterpiece - so simple but so profound, so bleak and pessimistic, so empowering and enlightening. Closer to poetry than prose… but not. Brilliant

[bondjames]

You've given me a whole reading list, please continue to make videos like this. Thank you!

I first read LOTR in 1968 after reading The Hobbit as a class assignment in high school. I became an avid reader. I won't say fan, because my feeling was not worshipful, but as a kind of student of Tolkien. I read it so many times that it became a major influence in my life choices. I used to say that anyone who hated or could not grasp LOTR, I was not interested in knowing them. I'm not so severe today, because many LOTR fans are very superficially involved with the forms and cosplay, etc.

[oliviacasino]

I read The Stranger (Camus) while in high school and it was a book that never leaves you once read. If fact, now I want to read again and I’m 84 yrs! So glad my English teacher was on the ball!

[marsha]

If anyone can inspire someone to open a book, Tristan can! Because of his videos here on YouTube, I’m reading (and enjoying) books I never heard of before.

[johnford]

Tristan you are a classic! in the best way

[woolyhermit]

In Cold Blood scared the wits out of me. I had nightmares for years after!. Just found you and love your passion for great literature ! You're a joy to watch ll

[staygoldponyboy]

I've read 13 of them since I started on classics in 2020. The Stranger was actually my first and I found myself kind of nonplussed about reading it, which I interpreted as a reflection of Meursault's nonplussed outlook on life. Brilliantly thought provoking.

[Atticus]

Excellent post. To Kill A Mockingbird and Animal Farm are two of my favourite books. I still need to read The Great Gatsby.

[kimberlyferguson]

Love your channel! I have read most of these books and my favorite was Lord of the Rings - Tolkien was a genius. I totally agree and understand your reasoning for not reading some books - people look at me like I'm crazy but there are just some things I don't want in my brain. Thank you for a wonderful channel💕

[stevec]

Book depository so mainly american classics and from 20th century. Interesting selection though. As always great show, wonderful positive enthusiastic and intelligent insight😂

[zaygezunt]

Tristan, I love your enthusiasm and knowledge. Can you explain (in your opinion) why the Book Depository readers didn't choose to read Dickens, Shakespeare, Austen, Dumas, Hugo, Dostoyevsky, Eliot, Gaskell, Hardy, Collins, Trollope and the Bronte sisters?

[MyMessyBookshelf]

I don’t know if I’d agree that the ending of Anna Karenina is the best ever but I can definitely agree that it stays with you forever! It’s been years and I still think about it.

[Bookhoarder]

I’m relatively new here and I just wanted to say that I LOVE your videos! I also respect your position on Lolita. Good on you.
