My Heart of Darkness Review:

My 100 Favorite Books Video:

Low acid paper. Stays fresh-looking for ages. What a lovely volume.

[anotherbibliophilereads]

One of my favorite novels too, but I only have Kindle editions.

[sgriffin]

I remember really liking the creepiness of the ride down the river when I read it long ago. I like Conrad’s Typhoon even more.

[Mindfulness]

Have to read this book, it's on my TBR book and that is a beautiful book. Love your books, they are beautiful.

I've read this one! Many years back. Of course, I don't remember much about it. But I read it! 😅

[AnneEWilliamson]

Such a great book! And that copy is awesome! I'm a sucker for books that come in cases because they seem more protected.

Folio put out a really interesting edition in 2014, but of course it's insufferably expensive now. Your copy looks very pretty.

[BookBlather]

Would you believe that I’m actually reading this right now? Not the fancy pants version, of course… I just got the Penguin Classics Deluxe (which is not so deluxe 😜 ). I’m reading it because I’m also reading currently Silverberg’s Downward to Earth, and a lot of parallels apparently have been drawn between the two. I’ve already noticed one nod to HOD. Nice copy!

This edition looks amazing! I'm sure I probably commented on your previous Heart of Darkness video that I like this story a lot. Peace.

I've read 'An Outcast of the Islands' by Joseph Conrad. It's one of a small handful of pre-20th century literatue that I've read (not counting religious literature of which I've read a lot). I have not read anything from ancient Greece. I'd describe the book as tragic and cynical. I also plan to read the prequel to that book called 'The Rescue'.

[tonygriego]

Even now I can't read the book without hearing Marlon Brando.

[jobuckley]

The Heart of Darkness was only mildly interesting. I don't get the hype.
