    Great library you have behind you. Plenty there to keep you out of mischief for a while. Best wishes and happy reading.

    I haven’t read Lispector yet, but I’m going to dip in. I read Consent…fascinating. And the. Didn’t think of looking for more Ciment at my library. I’m going to!

    I had been away lately so I'm only catching up on your videos now, but I'm happy to hear you've luxuriating in some fine literature! Clarice is a league of her own

    Thanks so much for this video. I love watching your excitement!
    The quote you read from Heti about having a joyful relationship with the mightiness of life -that struck a chord with me.
    I was aware that Heti and Shapton had worked together (along with Heidi Julavits) on the amazing book Women in Clothes, but didn’t know any other connections. While I appreciate Shapton’s art as illustration, I haven’t been enamoured by the two art collections of hers that I picked up: Guestbook and Native Trees of Canada. Speaking of illustrations, thank you for showing samples of Gilot’s art in Colette’s novel.

      Oh! You just made my day, thank you. It was a remarkably exciting (and unexpected) reading week which I only realised really once I sat down to record. I write myself a few notes prior, but I am finding that it's only when I start to talk to the camera that I discover what I truly feel. It's rather odd.
      Yes, that relationship with the mightiness of life quote from Heti is almost worth the whole Lispector book.
      Ha I do agree about Guestbook and Trees, I actually purchased Guestbook and return to it every so often and STILL find it to be a waste of my time. Maybe one day someone will explain it to me. The Women in Clothes book is the best, it's my comfort book :-)
      I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the Gilot illustrations!!

    Emily, from The Linguist's Library, has me reading Lispector (& the new Benjamin Moser bio), I love them. It's been quite a revelation, & now part of my rich Jewish stream. I will write on Lispector in my new autobiography-in-verse to be called 'Hounded'. I am having a blast!

      Yes, Emily is such a fabulous Lispector influencer. 'Hounded' is such a great title, by the way.

    Blatant first impression is the books! Unique for #booktube?

      Welcome to my grandfather's library :-) (I inherited it). The only real property is the property of the mind (he taught me that).
