I would highly recommend you now go with My Name Is Red by Pamuk. It's set in Ottoman Empire where a miniaturist gets killed and we have three potential killers. Pamuk takes us on a journey where each chapter is told with a different POV, sometimes even by inanimate objects (like a coin or the colour red). Beautifully written and transportative.
One year old reply, but I agree. Just finished My Name is Red for my bookclub and it was a really rewarding read, if a bit of a slog to get through at over 400 pages ;p.
As a Turkish, Pamuk affects my emotions so much and sometimes it leaves me confused. I definitely loved “Snow” and I am really happy that you liked it too, there is so much symbolism that makes me think “how can someone come up with such clever metaphors”, but I absolutely hated “The Museum of Innocence”. I know it is going to sound weird but Pamuk’s writing is gorgeos in English and Turkish, though, when I read him in Turkish it does not have the same impact. So, I don’t know who the translator is but it is obvious that he/she/them put a lot of effort. Loves from Turkey ❤️
I absolutely loved The Museum of Innocence, and to people who are in the middle of deciding between starting to read the book or not even bothering to read, I would definealety recommend that book. Also, if you come to Istanbul, you should go to the Museum of Innocence which made after the book.
while I was reading "The Museum of Innocence" it made me put so much struggle to continue because there are a lot of descriptions and long sentences to stay focused but I couldn't keep going on and I hope this summer i will reread it to the end with pleasure.
So weird to hear non-Finnish booktuber talk about Finnish lit :D If you ever want to try some other Finnish literature I'd highly recommend books by Tove Jansson (especially The Summer Book or the Moomin books!), Pajtim Statovci, Sofi Oksanen or Emmi Itäranta :)
As a fellow Finn, I agree with these book recs! Especially Emmi Itäranta, since she writes her books both in Finnish and English. She writes stunning, beautiful language. I recommend starting with her first published book Memory of Water, it's such a good book!
I was shocked to see Paasilinna in the title because I’m a Finnish person studying Finnish classics and the fact that anyone outside of Finland has even heard of any piece of Finnish lit is crazy to me
@@emmiereads anything by Minna Canth, Tove Jansson, or Aleksis Kivi. I’m pretty sure they all have at least some pieces that have been translated into English and they’re all phenomenal authors!! :)
@@lamegoldfish6736 Gustav Suits wrote some truly amazing poetry collections like Eli tuli or Tuulemaa, Aino Kallas who was a Finnish-Estonian author is an all time favorite of mine and I’d highly recommend her novel The Wolf’s Bride, and A. H. Tammsaare’s Tõde ja Õigus is also amazing (though I’m not sure if any of these have been translated into English)
I just read Snow too in February! I share a lot of your feelings about it! It is truly indescribable, there was so much going on, so much symbolism and undercurrents, it was hard to keep track of. It was such an experimental / post-modern work which I was not expecting when I started reading it because the language is so old-timey to me haha and yess I think Ka is supposed to be presented as an unlikeable character and his imperfections are definitely put on show. I think everyone had unlikeable characteristics but also good ones.
First of all you have to read '' THE RED HAİRED WOMAN'' or ''THE MUSEUM OF INNOCENCE'' these are also written by ORHAN PAMUK. i'm just so proud because i saw a book from my nationality ''SNOW''. Even i didn't read that book and i'm turkish. i'm so happy that you liked it.And i'm sure you will love the other Orhan Pamuk novels i recomended.
i discovered you yesterday and realized you're the girl i want to be in future😍 here i am binge watching you as a turkish and... the things you said about orhan pamuk made my heart like "pamuk"(cotton in turkish) also thanks for your all good recommendations😋 love you
I just finished reading The Year of the Hare based on your recommendation and I loved it! It was a quirky, charmingly wild ride of a story. Thank you so much!
Omgg when you mentioned Pamuk, my heart fluttered lol! I have only read one book by him, which was enough to make him my favourite author. It was A strangeness in my mind. Since you loved Snow so much, I'm planning to read it soon.
Wow I didn't expect you to begin with "Una Novelita Lumpen"!! As a Latin American, I am always excited to see people giving our authors a chance.💚I read that in one sitting and went through so many feelings and confusion, but also reflection even after finishing it.
Recently found your channel and your videos calm me so much when I feel anxious. Last year I couldn't read anything because everything was too much for me but I have been slowly getting back and your recommendation and your passion (which is so visible in every video) for books have been super helpful. Thank you so much!
Love watching your videos! I’m a thirteen year old book nerd who loves to read classics/ya fiction :) Your voice is so calming and omg your apartment is soo amazing; I wish to decorate my future apartment like yours💛
The only Pamuk I've read so far is My Name is Red and I think you'd really like it! It's a historical murder mystery between illustrators in the Ottoman Empire and not only is it engaging and funny, it also has a lot of reflections on art, symbols, death, spirituality and intercultural conflicts. And the opening chapter is narrated by the victim who complains about getting murdered, what's not to love!
You speak so beautifully I almost wish it was written down in a book so I could have it in words forever. Every word you say feels like a string of poetry or music (if that makes sense)
I would also like to recommend 'kitchen'. I was sorry to hear you didn't like a Banana Yoshimoto book. I haven't read 'n.p.', but I have read 'kitchen', 'asleep' and 'goodbye tsugumi', and I loved them all. I think my favorite would be 'asleep'. She creates such strange worlds with interesting characters in it. All these books are short, so they could be an interesting change of pace in between bigger stories.
I love seeing all these Finnish people in the comments!!! It is also so cool seeing non-Finnish people talking about Finnish authors and books, love it!!
Ah Roberto Bolaño! Can’t recommend enough. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on more of his books.Distant Star is one my favorites of his if you want another short one!
If you’re looking to read more Leonard Cohen, I would recommend his collections Book of Longing and The Flame. I’d agree that Let Us Compare Mythologies isn’t his best work, but these other two were written a lot later and are very good. His music is also brilliant.
There was a time when I was thinking of moving to Finland. As a result I ended up reading, and doing research on the country. I fell in love with Finland. The move though, did not work out. I ended up remaining in the U.S. With that, 'The Year of the Hare' sounds incredibly fascinating. Even though I can't be in Finland, I can read about it. I will keep this Novel in mind. 😃
Hi Emma! I know that you tried ASMR here on your channel before, plus your voice is just DIVINE so I tagged you in my ASMR book tag!! No pressure at all, no self-promo either, I'd just be over the moon if you checked out the prompts and saw if you'd be interested at all. Love you so much!!
Hey, I just met you. A new subber here :) I heartfelt every comment you made about Snow/Pamuk. You have just made me want to grab it and reread it. If you haven't already, please read My Name is Red by Pamuk for your next Pamuk journey. I would love to listen to your insights on that one as well. Cheers
hello, emma! what a lovely way to start the day~ 💓💓💓 it's okay if you didn't enjoy N.P. because, honestly, it's my least favourite book of hers. the premise was so good, but the execution not so much. though it also made me think if there was something about the translation that didn't come across very well because lizard is another book of yoshimoto I'm not particularly fond of, and both are translated by the same person. still, I'd highly recommend kitchen. I read it during a time when I wasn't feeling very good and it really helped me deal with loss and grief. I'd also highly recommend goodbye tsugumi.
I didn't like n.p. either. But, if u want to read another book by that author, try Moshi, Moshi. Very good!! It's about the relationship between a mother and daughter.
Emma, on that theme of the fundamental fallibility of language you mentioned when talking about n.p., you might enjoy Good Old Neon, the famous short story by DFW! Also, I was so happy to see you considering reading The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas on that March planning video, hope you get the chance to pick it up :) Love from Brazil
Hi emmie, i am from an Indian tribe with east asian descents and i would absolutely LOVE to send you some of our folklore and some of our writer's works but i havent been able to find a good translation so far😭😭😭😭 so can i recommend you the english audio of some of our folklore?
I would highly recommend you now go with My Name Is Red by Pamuk. It's set in Ottoman Empire where a miniaturist gets killed and we have three potential killers.

I am loving the non-subtle puns ☺️

Orhan pamukun adını duymak gerçekten de gurur verici 😇
Bende sadece masumiyet muzesini almıstım kendisine başlamak için :(

Ben de kar kitabını okuyacağım
You are soooo spoiling us with vids!!!!!!! 🥺 I luv it I luv u!!! IM SO HAPPY AND PROUD YOU DESERVE ALL THE SPONSORSHIPS 😭🥰

Yes!!! Weird in a sweet way. I'm Latina and seeing Bolaño in the list made me happy, but it is soooooo rare.
We read The Summer Book in Life's Library which is the book club run by John Green and it was so lovely!!
So cool~
i wasnt expecting a turkish author at all!!! lots of love from turkey❤️
I was shocked to see Paasilinna in the title because I’m a Finnish person studying Finnish classics and the fact that anyone outside of Finland has even heard of any piece of Finnish lit is crazy to me
if you have any recommendations for more Finnish lit I'd love to hear them!!
@ Honey Bee Do you by chance have any recommendations for Estonian Literature?
@@emmiereads anything by Minna Canth, Tove Jansson, or Aleksis Kivi. I’m pretty sure they all have at least some pieces that have been translated into English and they’re all phenomenal authors!! :)

Thank you always for your videos! I love how long they are, I can put them in the background and feel less alone
loving these frequent uploads - and love you 🖤🌙
LOVE YOU

Totally agreed!! You must read The Red Haired Woman first ,you’ll love it.
i discovered you yesterday and realized you're the girl i want to be in future😍 here i am binge watching you as a turkish and... the things you said about orhan pamuk made my heart like "pamuk"(cotton in turkish) also thanks for your all good recommendations😋 love you
Your timing of uploading is immaculate because I just finished studying... Gonna enjoy it so much💛
I just finished reading The Year of the Hare based on your recommendation and I loved it! It was a quirky, charmingly wild ride of a story. Thank you so much!
I am from Kars, the city that mentioned in Pamuks' book.🌸🌟
Omgg when you mentioned Pamuk, my heart fluttered lol! I have only read one book by him, which was enough to make him my favourite author. It was A strangeness in my mind. Since you loved Snow so much, I'm planning to read it soon.

Ahhh I just love the way you described each book! I marked most of them as "want to read" on my goodreads.
The Silent House by Pamuk is also really good! :)
This is the second Nordgreen ad I've seen and honestly? Their watches look really cute and one might end up in my shopping cart soon.
I love the way you pronounce the finnish names while talking about the Year of the Hare :) and I love your nail polish, such a pretty color!
Recently found your channel and your videos calm me so much when I feel anxious.

What you're doing is free therapy :) So thank you
I am so proud that you read orhan pamuk. I am turkish
Favorite quote of this one: "It just makes you wanna grab a hare and - run." xD
Love watching your videos! I’m a thirteen year old book nerd who loves to read classics/ya fiction :) Your voice is so calming and omg your apartment is soo amazing; I wish to decorate my future apartment like yours💛
if you're willing to read more turkish authors, I recommend you read Elif Safak and Yusuf Atılgan. They are both really good!!
The only Pamuk I've read so far is My Name is Red and I think you'd really like it! It's a historical murder mystery between illustrators in the Ottoman Empire and not only is it engaging and funny, it also has a lot of reflections on art, symbols, death, spirituality and intercultural conflicts.

love the extra Emma content this week brought
I am early today!! I just love your videos Emmie, they are just amazing.🌼
thank you so much!!
Hello
Pamuks ,,Snow'' is beautiful roman and great book.
I think Pamuk is most nice writing writer for this moment on the World.
Books are great but I love your nail polish. So much so I had to go to the store and find a similar color.
haha thank you!
The legendary poet/singer-songwriter Patti Smith adores Bolano. It's good you liked it, and it's good you had a good reading month. Thx Emma
LOL tbh i just reread shadow and bone so when you were describing aurora rising and said "the fold" i immediately word associated with the darkling
Your videos are so authentic, beautiful, peaceful and so deeply satisfying.
do you have any videos where you explain how you annotate your books bc id really love to know!
I am very interested in "Snow",
But i will prepare for it. From what you say it's pretty heavy.
But it seems to be incredible ✌🏾
Adore your book recommendations, because they are mostly books I have never ever heard of before
You speak so beautifully I almost wish it was written down in a book so I could have it in words forever. Every word you say feels like a string of poetry or music (if that makes sense)
A Finn here. I just loved how you described the plot of Jäniksen vuosi :)
Cutest cropped-shoulders-tops of the booktube game, feels "old-timey" in a good way, like in a Jane Eyre-esque fashion ☺️
I would also like to recommend 'kitchen'. I was sorry to hear you didn't like a Banana Yoshimoto book. I haven't read 'n.p.', but I have read 'kitchen', 'asleep' and 'goodbye tsugumi', and I loved them all. I think my favorite would be 'asleep'. She creates such strange worlds with interesting characters in it. All these books are short, so they could be an interesting change of pace in between bigger stories.
Always so happy to see a video from you! Thank you for keeping me company while I work 🥰
I love seeing all these Finnish people in the comments!!! It is also so cool seeing non-Finnish people talking about Finnish authors and books, love it!!
I really can’t get over your voice🥺
I read kitchen by banana Yoshimoto last month and I think you'll love that one.. its gorgeous
I agree with this! also I'm so happy you enjoyed it. It's one of my favourite books of all time.
Never heard of The Year of the Hare: TBR'd!!
Aaa your videos are so calming ⛈❤️

Ah Roberto Bolaño! Can’t recommend enough. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on more of his books.Distant Star is one my favorites of his if you want another short one!
Omg, i just have finished to watch the last vlog (not complaining about have another video 😁😁😁), it came at time
Another video! I can't believe it! Thank you, Emma
If you’re looking to read more Leonard Cohen, I would recommend his collections Book of Longing and The Flame. I’d agree that Let Us Compare Mythologies isn’t his best work, but these other two were written a lot later and are very good. His music is also brilliant.
There was a time when I was thinking of moving to Finland. As a result I ended up reading, and doing research on the country. I fell in love with Finland. The move though, did not work out. I ended up remaining in the U.S. With that, 'The Year of the Hare' sounds incredibly fascinating. Even though I can't be in Finland, I can read about it. I will keep this Novel in mind. 😃
awe yes definitely, it's perfect! :)
I will choose a book with a pretty cover. :)
YAY, another vid :D
favorite february read has to be the girl who drank the moon (thanks to you!!) it was my first 5 star of 2021🤍
ah that's amazing I'm so glad! I still think about that one almost every day:')
yay she posted 🕺🕺
Hi Emma! I know that you tried ASMR here on your channel before, plus your voice is just DIVINE so I tagged you in my ASMR book tag!! No pressure at all, no self-promo either, I'd just be over the moon if you checked out the prompts and saw if you'd be interested at all. Love you so much!!
I just started Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian". So quotable..."A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with"...
That is one of the greatest American books!
Hey, I just met you. A new subber here :)
I heartfelt every comment you made about Snow/Pamuk. You have just made me want to grab it and reread it. If you haven't already, please read My Name is Red by Pamuk for your next Pamuk journey. I would love to listen to your insights on that one as well. Cheers
hello, emma!
what a lovely way to start the day~ 💓💓💓
it's okay if you didn't enjoy N.P. because, honestly, it's my least favourite book of hers. the premise was so good, but the execution not so much. though it also made me think if there was something about the translation that didn't come across very well because lizard is another book of yoshimoto I'm not particularly fond of, and both are translated by the same person. still, I'd highly recommend kitchen.

100 like love you emmie!
if you dont like np i think kitchen is a better alternative :D love you and your videos!!! 🥰
lets just pay tribute to the colours in this video
mood for 2021 is just grabbing a hare and disappearing into the woods
*adds snow to the tbr*
What? Video yesterday and video today? I feel so spoiled. :)
Not being able to tell the time is such a mood
I didn't like n.p. either. But, if u want to read another book by that author, try Moshi, Moshi. Very good!! It's about the relationship between a mother and daughter.
How do you read so many books so damn fast?
Yeah, the year of the witching was very hyped. I read it and didn’t like it. I felt like the odd one out 🤦🏾♀️
Emma, on that theme of the fundamental fallibility of language you mentioned when talking about n.p., you might enjoy Good Old Neon, the famous short story by DFW!
Also, I was so happy to see you considering reading The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas on that March planning video, hope you get the chance to pick it up :) Love from Brazil
Is it just me or Emma gives off major Daisy Edgar-Jones vibes?
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
🙂
❤
orange nails omg x
Haha you didn't know curlew before! I guess you haven't read a lot of Yeats then, that guy loved curlews
♡
Do You read so fast or You dont do anything else??

Hi emmie, i am from an Indian tribe with east asian descents and i would absolutely LOVE to send you some of our folklore and some of our writer's works but i havent been able to find a good translation so far😭😭😭😭 so can i recommend you the english audio of some of our folklore?
