The brothers Karmazov is another level of greatness! You must make time for it and read it soon. Preferably in winter. Long books always feel like winter or fall books to me

The Count of Monte Cristo is well worth it you should just hop right into it, one of the most digestible classics I have ever read. Kept my interest the whole 1000+ pages and I blew through it, one of my all time favorites.

Your Penguin Classics collection look so cool. Seems like they're all taken care of.

Ibsen 's Doll's House is absolutely beautiful and so inspiring

[LexieMoon]

The Penguin Classics are my personal favorites! I am always trying to find different ones in bookstores and even in second-hand shops! My advice is looking on different second-hand book websites and also looking in thrift stores! The first Penguin Classic I ever bought was The Iliad by Homer!

[SnarkyWordsworthReads]

I just wanted to say that this is one of the videos that's prompted me to start collecting classics again after 20+ years. You talk so enthusiastically about each of the editions, and it's easy to see how much the authors' works mean to you. Thanks so much for the continued inspiration!

[HidingBehindThePages]

Totally agree with you. The older Penguin is much better than the new ones.
Love your channel

[jamespotts]

I as well am intensely passionate about the Penguin collection. Also, I always look to see who's painting is displayed upon the cover, so in that manner we share the same fondness. Thank you for this episode.

About Ibsen: A Doll's House is a good place to start (if you don't mind reading plays)! Loved to look through this part of your book collection!

[venusrose]

I'm so glad you compared the penguin and oxford editions as that was going to be my first question! I definitely prefer the black spines over white, but the oxford edition of War and Peace has a beautiful cover that draws me back to it every time 😩

[jeremiahbok]

Absolutely lovely. I was happy to see Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh in your modern classics. That's my favorite book. I suppose it is a slow burn, but I adored it all the way through. It's so thoughtful, so fun, and so thoroughly British! And then it gets so flipping sad. I'm so glad you think it's wonderful as well.

Don’t be daunted by Sophocles - it’s amazing - so easy to read

[rubyyu]

Thank you for making the bookshelf tour series I love it so much. Looking forward to your everyman's library collection!

[danasmith]

I agree 100% on the older penguin vs the current style. I bought all the dickens in the black spines with the ink pictures, and even amongst them I have some that are the older style and some that are the newer style and it drives me crazy.

So glad that I will be ending my Friday night watching this. Thanks for sharing this with us, Carolyn. Greetings from the Philippines. 🥰

[johnsilva]

That's a small fortunes worth of Penguin Classics. Great investment. I think their children's classics are Puffin classics.

[rosaabranca]

The book of Disquiet! Lovely to see Portuguese literature on your channel 😍

[hmm]

The lighting complements you and acts as a supporting character. Instead of warning us about it, welcome it and the depth it adds!

[kimbarbeaureads]

I only have one black spine, Sense and Sensibility. I love a well worn paperback. I may have one from every publisher. Lol
