I still can't believe a pinguin wrote all of those classics.

This makes me recently going to a book shop and buying books that I already own just because these ones had slightly different covers seem less... unhinged.

It's really refreshing to see a booktuber/book influencer emphasize ethical book consumption. It blows my mind that the most that many book influencers will do is say "use your library!" and still haul 30+ new hardbacks, half of which get decluttered. The circular economy utilized by World of Books/Ziffit is an admirable initiative. More booktubers need to reconcile with the environmental and ethical consequences of buying books and advocate for better alternatives.
Three cheers for used books!

P.S. Absolutely not dunking on libraries- they are one of the best public goods imo but not everyone has access to them and not all libraries have the specific books that people want to read.

I love how your room is decorated (including the mass of books mindlessly devouring it)

[SofiaPerez-jwoy]

It’s the way that I’m watching this as I’m heading to my favorite bookstore to cope after a hard midterm

[freddygisborne]

Now I want to buy all of these books! Dakota you have such a comforting energy and you’re so eloquent it’s lovely to watch!

[melisalovin]

Wow, you actually read, recommended and enjoyed Cioran? I love you, honestly. He is a romanian writer, we learn about him in school and have exams on his works, he is amazing, a truly tormented soul and I always forget that people read him on a bigger scale because we grew up with his name since childhood.

Julio Cortázar.
Also, you should eventually make your way to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Love him. Love magical realism in general. If you decide to try Marquez tho, start with “Chronicles of a Death Foretold”. It’s short and will immediately let you know if you are into his writing style or not.

I love the way you express things sm also Idk if you've read it or heard of it but I would really recommend "Before the coffee gets cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, it's a fun short read<3

[DylanDoesBooks]

The Plague by Camus is on my list after reading The Stranger, I loved that book. I also bought a Bukowski book on a whim without knowing much about him, now I'm curious at what makes him so wretched!

[laraannabell]

How to make friends with the dark is so so great. I also loved girl in pieces by her and she is finally bringing out a new one this month. So excited 😍

[BrandonsBookshelf]

I feel very in tune with you through these books. SO many that I love on here!

[ReadingNymph]

Second hand books are the best! I love searching for Second hand bookstores, you never know what you will find

[julietrosner]

I am having such a great evening watching your videos. Please don't stop posting!

[hillarysantiago]

your book piles are so sexy but I know the day that you get a bookcase it'll be INSANELY good!

[hannaymoon]

I would loooove a video of u talking about philosophical books 💗

[LarissaOliveiraK]

i just read the dangers of smoking in bed, i still prefer the author's other short stories collection "the things we lost in the fire", but that one is really good too!!

[emaileen]

your vibe makes me wanna read classics for some reason 😭
