I have just begun to emerge from a flux of a few years where I stopped reading fiction and only read non fiction, mostly history books. Its good to see you doing so well, and everlastingly reading and thinking x
@@zoobee i think it’s easy to get into a particular type of reading zone and forget that other kinds of books exist! i’m certainly guilty of it, and only partially successful in expanding my horizons :)
ooh, that might be kind of true about tiny moons. i never read h mart myself can’t guarantee that lerner will transform yr relationship to poetry, but it’s short at least!
Bravo for keeping going so often to get the video done. I think I need another life time to read the quality books recommended by you - so much here I want to read.
@@heathergregg9975 thank you! i’m glad to spread book recommendations, but unfortunately/fortunately there are simply too many books to read in the world!
I've selected so many books i'm going to read from this episode. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if you kept your new look after your recovery, it reveals so much power, lightness and openness.
out of context and a bit shallow, but the new style actually looks very pretty. we are hoping that you get regular phases of relief and wish you strength for the intense times. Also, very Interesting collection of books i think.
Soooo many fab sounding recommendations here. Thick and Other Essays I’ve had on my periphery for a while. I can’t believe I’ve not read any Alexander Chee, I really need to rectify that. Entangled Life has intrigued me for ages, I just didn’t know if a whole book of I loooooved A History of My Brief Body, you’ve reminded me I need to read his short story collection.
entangled life is a lot of pages of fungus, so if that’s not your thing, it might be a bit long 🤣 definitely recommend you pick up thick - it’s funny, poignant and smart. just a really good read. and how to write an autobiographical novel!
this is such a great list you put together sophie! glad you kept recording because there are so many on this list i need to get to. so this was a great reminder & also inspo because i want to participate in non fic nov!
i decided to really commit to nonfiction november this year - the right to sex is on my list to get to before the end of the month! this is such a great list as always
What a great list! I read Sontag Chee, Ernaux and Laymon, loved them. Heavy is one of the most beautiful writings with such a heavy story, it really moved me. It somewhat reminds me of a Tom Waits' quote: "I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things." I have Sister Outsider and Notes of a Native Son on my shelf waiting for the right moment.
@@sabinagruden2702 ooh yes, “beautiful melodies telling me terrible things” is a wonderful description of many books i like! i think you’ll like lorde and baldwin when you get to them 🖤
I’ve really meant to get to the Alexander Chee. It sounds intriguing. And the Ben Lerner. I’m looking for that at my library! Ooh Because Internet sounds right up my alley! I scored. My library system has both. 👏👏👏Happening remains my favorite Ernaux.
woohoo! are you an audiobook person? the audiobook for because internet is good. and if you like the author, i mostly recommend her podcast lingthusiasm (some episodes are less interesting to me)
Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag has been on my tbr forever, this video is my cue to read it. I should also like read de Beauvoir, preferably in French--is her prose 'easy'?
yes, may this be yr sign!! beauvoir’s prose is very good and clear, so that to some extent makes it easier in my opinion. it’s not simple, however. have you read any of her other writing in french? i find her voice similar in memoir, fiction and philosophy
@@bibliosophie Nope, only read her in English. But I think I'm ready to read her in French. And if her prose is 'clear' I should be okay. Merci Sophie xoxo
I feel like you owe some people at least $100 for all those books recs. Some people have a hard time reading books from the library! $120 should be enough ☺️
@@bibliosophie well you can sign up any time you like!!! I’m over buying books this year though, says the guy who just bought a varied of paperbacks from Goodwill 😭

tiny moons sounds like what i wanted crying in h mart to be. might need to pick up the ben learner essay--i cant get into poetry to save myself
ooh, that might be kind of true about tiny moons. i never read h mart myself
can’t guarantee that lerner will transform yr relationship to poetry, but it’s short at least!
Sister Outsider is one of my core texts. One that's had immeasurable influence on me. I recommend it to everyone.
me too! a core influence that i basically always recommend!

@@bibliosophie that's why it's especially good to get recommendations, to try and get to the reallllly good books:-)

@@ilovebeing2788 excellent, i love to hear it! which ones have caught your attention?
and thank you?
I'm agog at these recommendations!!! Elite taste as always; cannot wait to request some of these at my local library!
@@parnissia 🤗 woohoo! out of curiosity, what do you plan to check out? 👀
I just bought Tiny Moons and bumped Entangled Life up my owned TBR list. Thank you
fabulous! 🖤
out of context and a bit shallow, but the new style actually looks very pretty. we are hoping that you get regular phases of relief and wish you strength for the intense times. Also, very Interesting collection of books i think.
i like a bit shallow, especially if it’s complimentary :)
thank you!
I know your head shave was enforced by cancer but it looks very good
thank you! 🤗

oh, and i want to read the belcourt short story collection ben just read too! i have designs to borrow his copy :)
Phenomenal selection! Many of these I've not read. I'm glad you pushed through the intimidation of filming (I know the feeling).
thank you! re intimidation at filming: i think almost all of us have it! i guess we must be masochistic or feel that its worth it to push through :)
this is such a great list you put together sophie! glad you kept recording because there are so many on this list i need to get to. so this was a great reminder & also inspo because i want to participate in non fic nov!
yay! i’m curious what you intend to pick up, and what you do end up reading ultimately 💖

🐥 thankeeee
i… committed more than i have in other months this year lol

I’d added some of these to my TBR 🩵🌟
@@NicoleMae excellent! would love to know which!
Girl, you had me at Maximalist, LOL.
😁 sometimes more is more
Thank you so much for these recommendations, I appreciate it so much. E x
my pleasure! it was good to think back on recentish reads :)
I own most of these books and have yet to read a lot of them. Good reminder.
i feel like a significant percentage of my youtube viewing is me thinking, “oh ya, i want/need to read that!” what’s calling yr name?
@ thick, the hatred of poetry, the right to sex, sister outsider…too many.
Oh oh and tiny moons, a small body of water is a fave of mine if you enjoy Nina Mingya Powles and want more.
@@r.enee.morris and you remind me that i’ve been wanting to read small bodies of water for a couple of years!

@ i think you should be, yes
once again, a stellar sexy list. just got my hands on Against Interpretation and might have to do it for november!
the sontag streak continues! i think november or december is great time for against interpretation
♥♥♥
🤗
Hope you are doing ok..☀️
i am, thank you!
JUST WOW
a good wow i hope?
I loved "How to read now". I was so happy to read someone who is as angry about the state of affairs in this world.
ya, i found it a balm to read her takes, and her anger
You look like a Bene Gesserit priestess 🕊️✨💫
do they have shaved heads? i read dune in september, and i confess i’ve already forgotten - or never noticed - if they do!
@ In the first movie they do 🤔😬 I think they have bouffants and mohawks in to book? Joking 🙃
I feel like you owe some people at least $100 for all those books recs. Some people have a hard time reading books from the library! $120 should be enough ☺️
hmmm i didn’t know i was signing up to bankroll people’s book hauls…. 🤣🤔

You have a nice head.
