    The song of Achilles is written so beautifully that even if you don’t really like the story, you still love the book because the writing is so good

    Please read All the Light We Cannot See. The characters are so beautiful yet so lonely, and the way they are all connected in their own ways is just beautiful and even heartbreaking at times. The writing is so poetic and it's such a wonderful read. Netflix is coming out with a show next month, and maybe that will inspire you to check out the book.

    First time commenting here (I think), love your videos! I wanted to say how much the intro Bible verses mean to me. This video's spoke to me so much, I wasn't expecting that.
    And while I am very much a mood reader so I feel conflicted encouraging making oneself read books that one doesn't feel like reading, I would love a part 2. Bc I have so many books hanging around, just there, not read for years. So this video rly made me want to take one finally off the shelf (but it might take another video to actually do it 😜).

    I haven't read the book 'one day' but I have watched the movie! the movie is a little frustrating as well, since as you mentioned it is hard to get to know the characters, but I think they show the main characters connection a bit better in the movie! I would definitely recommend watching it, if you are okay with the end being spoiled, as it is a heart wrenching ending

    I can’t believe you DNFd One Day! Of all the books I’ve read it’s one of the only ones I’ve reread more than once and it means something different to me every time I return to it. I’d love to see you go back to it at some point, the characters are so well drawn and you get to watch them grow together over a twenty year period. David Nichol’s writing is so beautifully subtle, if you love Sally Rooney I think it’s definitely worth revisiting. Either way I would encourage you not to bother with the movie, it’s not a good adaption in my opinion. If you want to try a different David Nichols I would recommend Sweet Sorrow!
