I appreciate your reviews and for introducing me to new books!

[stefashaler]

Thank you. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Your knowledge is a splendid gift to viewers.

Book Thief is at the top of my list of favorite books. I’ve read it multiple times, read it to my grandchildren, and watched the movie. The story is a child’s viewpoint and experience of WW2, which being very adult event, caused so much fear, confusion and sorrow in this young life.

So many books and at age 79 how will I fit them all in. But I'm willing to try Tristan. Love you❤

[starlasell]

❤📚❤️ Thank you for the recommendations. The Book Thief is the only one I've read on your list. A definite read!

The Book Thief is an amazing book. I read it when it was first published and it instantly became one of my all time favorite books. I don’t remember much humor, if any. It’s quite haunting, but not in a cheap, Halloween vibe. I taught 7th and 8th graders and I didn’t feel comfortable recommending it to them, but I told them about it as their 8th grade graduation approached. Several students contacted me to let me know that they had read it during the following years, and they all loved it.

My friend thank you for drawing attention to Woodhouse as you do. He is my most returned to comfort author iykyk.

☑ for sharing under-appreciated books not conventionally thought out as "classics."

[MsErstwhile]

Loved the Book Thief. You won’t regret popping that to the top of your TBR stack. I promise 😊

[woolyhermit]

The Book Thief was wonderful! I am intrigued by North Woods, it’s on my list now. TY, love your channel ❤

[angelawebb]

I just love your content! The book of tea is available in audio so I just downloaded it. North Woods is now on my list simply because of your description. I will look into Satre and I’ll save Lotte in Weinmar until I read Sorrows of Young Goethe.

[yvonnehayton]

I have The Book Thief on my book shelf. Loved it first time round. Must revisit.

[jennyhoward]

The Book of Tea sounds fascinating.
You are in for such a treat with The Book Thief. It’s beautifully written and has some of the most beautiful language ever written.

I love the idea of selecting books by the season as well as having a book for evening, separate from the day. I am reading and enjoying Snow Country now. I am drawn to The Book Of Tea, to start.

[still-reading]

Great video! I can always count on you to not just make "the usual" suggestions.

I read The Secret Agent when I was a teen, but that's so long ago I honestly don't remember it. I studied Sarte in HS and college, but didn't read Nausea.

I did read North Woods, and found it interesting, sometimes compelling, but ultimately it was too fragmented to be satisfying to me. Also, why do authors believe only tragedies are worth writing about, and never joy? Well, that's a hobby horse of mine.

I'd love to read or listen to The Book of Tea!

Right now, among other things, I'm reading Our Mutual Friend for the first time. So good!

[teakara]

As for the audio book I would love to listen to t
The Book of Tea

[rachelatherton]

I loved North Woods, such a lovely and fascinating book. Perfect for autumn. Read with a nice cup of tea and apple cake.

Hello Tristan. I should like to hear The Book of Tea. Thinking about non fiction books and philosophy, have you come across Gaston Bachelard (a contemporary of Sartre)? He is a beautiful writer and his interest is the philosophy of the imagination. I would recommend The Poetics of Space in which he explores the meaning of the house (it’s nooks and crannies from cellar to attic) and it’s surroundings and how the poetic imagination is inspired by these special places. A book to pick up and put down, reflect upon and just enjoy.

[katarinarichterova]

Thank You for the recommedations. The book about tea could be a great Christmas gift for my husband.

Alexander Platz is not an easy read but well worth while to invest one's attention and time. The Snowcountry is a gem with beautiful imageries and latent feelings. The Book Thief, as I remember... read it a long time ago is a heartwarming read.
These were the books I read and would like to read The Midnight Plumber, The Book of Tea and Lotte in Weimar. Your wonderful videos always fill me with enthusiasm. Thank you😊.
