I, unfortunately,suffer the same affliction. So many hours wasted while I could have been surfing the internet. Oh well,guess will just have to grin and bear my burden…
This is the real tragedy of our times.
I think this is my new favorite video on YT
Help spread the word!
In Texas, where I live, Bradbury's Fahrenheit novel is required reading in many high schools. Rarely have I met a kid who was inspired by it. Instead, I get bafflement, because why would anyone want to risk their life for a book? And why would anyone subject themselves to memorizing any book? However, when that same kid is given a short story from The Martian Chronicles or The Illustrated Man, you hear, " I want more stories like this!" Now those inspire kids on the fence to become readers. Good choices all around.
p.s. A good companion to Lord of the Flies is Ballard's High-Rise.
I can understand why teenagers would think that, but it wouldn't be hard for them to see what's really at stake there. Agree that The Illustrated Man is another great one, it was hard for me to choose between the two for this video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, High-Rise and Super Cannes swim in the same deep waters.
Oh gosh. I love your dead-pan delivery, and this whole dang vlog. "Forced to read," the eye rolls, the sighs. "I discovered something called 'Music.'" You need to be a comedian. We need a tongue-in-cheek emoji. Tip Top and so well done. 😉
Thank you for being so open and letting others learn from your experience. 🤣 I do love your deadpan delivery; you almost had me going at the beginning there...
This is a great list - I have not read Carson McCullers, so I've added that one to my wish list! I'm a lifelong reader, too, and while I don't recall a specific turning point, for me it was authors like Judy Blume, Roald Dahl, and Dr. Seuss that got me started.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting video! I have read Lord of the Flies and Farewell to Arms I really enjoyed both of those books. Moby Dick, Jane Eyre, Dune, Lonesome Dove and Crime and Punishment are very dangerous as well. They will enter your brain and never leave if you ever read them.
Those are extremely dangerous books.
I think I read Lord of the Flies when I was a teenager. I found it and read it on my own. I still clearly remember the story. Around the same time I read Animal Farm. Similar themes and allegories.
Animal Farm is excellent also -- I mean also very dangerous!!!
No going back indeed. 🥺😬 📚❤️
A tragic tale that I hope others can learn from.
@@pleasereadyourbook Take your message to the masses Sir I'll be at a bookstore sharing your message, life saving info.
Oh the horror!!! Books can be dangerous indeed.
You've been warned!
Yes read all Hemingway. Love his writing and his topics. Fiesta and the book of short stories A moveable feast I have read multiple times. Best wishes and happy reading.
Excellent choices.
BAN THEM ALL!!! 😡👊
(…I must get to McCullers soon…)
Why not make a response video?
Love that you kept the theme going. Masterful vlog by Carl.
"I am a man why would I read fiction?" Haha
An important question, lol.
Yes, that bit was good. Also, "Written by a WOMAN?"
LOL! I love this! Now I need to think of all the VERY VERY dangerous books I've read and that have totally ruined me! 🤣
Would love to see a response video 😀
1984?
Fatal!
Like you, I too am ruined! 😂
The least we can do is warn others.
Have you thought of joining RA, Readers Anonymous? It may help.
I may be too far gone at this point.
Your title caught me off guard! My initial (brief) thought was, "Oh no! He's jumped on the bandwagon for the political party that bans books!" I am glad to see I was mistaken 🙂 Great line up of books, though I have not read "Going to Meet the Man." Thanks for sharing your thoughts & humor!
Maybe I'm too sarcastic, sorry about that.
@@pleasereadyourbook Not at all!!😁
