I really like the book title, Loving Him Without Losing You. It’s not cringy at all. It’s a book I’d buy. I’m happy you shared this title with us. Thank you for another enjoyable video 🦋
I'm so happy that I found your channel! I feel so comforted after watching you talk about books, daily life and after hearing your beautiful piano session. Thank you for that!
Love your long vlogs! Loving him without Losing you sounds like a romance novel lol lol lol. All kidding aside though, the topic of that book is something we women don't often talk about but we all experience. Loved the song that was playing beginning and towards the end. So lovely - haunting yet relaxing. And LOVED your piano playing at the end! Thank you for gracing us with your talent. You have become one of my favorite youtubers. I always know I'm in for a treat when I see you've uploaded a video
Lovely video Maria! I am someone who reads many many books at the same time so I really feel you 😂 It's just so nice to be able to pick from many books so you can read exactly what suits your mood at a particular moment. Looking forward to your next video!
Yes, please make a book about lucid dreaming (and dreaming in general) books! Thank you for your wonderful content. It helps fuel me in my own graduate studies in literature and creative writing. I also would love to hear more of your music, if you feel like sharing more of it!
I love the first part, third part and the walk: a fly-in-the-wall POV montage video. Hoping to see more of these clips of your routine, books and some of your furniture. Your life must be just easy and chill (outside of the stress of your studies). Cheers, Maria! 🥰🤓😍
I'm so glad the algorithm brought me here despite loathing the time I will spend binging your videos! I have never studied literature but so enjoy reading, collecting and recording words. You mentionned some books you needed to do a reading card for. Can you explain what that is and what system to use to record all the good stuff you want to refer back to? ( besides the underlines and page marks) 🙏💓
Relaxing music. I could never have so many piles of books on the floor! Even reading multiple books at the same time results in my reading less; every time I re-open a different book, it's like resetting a conversation. Charming bookmark! Look forward to a future video on your favourite Borges stories someday. Creative Dreaming sounds like some sort of pseudoscience. They say your dreams reveal something about you; it's some sort of Rorschach test. I choose to think they have meaning. Loving Him Without Losing You doesn't sound cringe-y whatsoever. It's a very interesting topic and an undiscussed danger of empathizing too much. We don't 'do' love, we 'fall' in love; and just like falling in general, there's a good chance you'll hurt yourself. I think when we really love someone and care, we're bound to change in some way; hopefully, we'll grow. But when we change, who we are changes, our identity - who we really are. I've always been on the side of willing to be hurt. The other side doesn't even sound like love, it's like having just one foot in the pool, it's a half-love, a bemusement: something else entirely unworthy of devoting oneself towards. The piano sounds nice. Thank you for the video.
This is a wonderful book vlog, what a variety of titles you took us through! I thought it was so funny that Bernard’s face expresses how you feel about his writing! What a face! 😂. This is the most cinematic book channel I know of. The music, the way you set up the shots, the composition of the plants and the food and the swirl of the milk. You are taking the best of book blogs and making it more. I too have been waiting to read Madame Bovary. Perhaps this summer it’s time. Thank you for another vlog that has made my day better!
Wonderful vlog, the piles here at our house are giant, we all 4 love reading..😅 but like you I get stressed if it is getting too much and too messy! The topic of the last book in this Video is so important! 👌🏻 from where that you get this Sushi? It looks so delicious! ☺️
Das sieht nach einem richtig guten Tag aus! 😍 Diese Menge an angefangenen Bücher ist beeindruckend - ich komme schon immer ganz aus dem Konzept, wenn ich 4 oder 5 gleichzeitig lese. Selbst, wenn sie sehr unterschiedlich sind, ende ich nach kurzer Zeit damit, mit KEINEM mehr vorwärts zu kommen und fokussiere mich dann meistens doch nur auf eins. 😅 Und extra viel Liebe noch für den Zauberberg ❄
'Outing' yourself is part of your charm. No need for apologies. Duras brought back the remorseless heat of southern Vietnam. '…there are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we’re in the long hot girdle of the earth with no spring, no renewal." Marguerite Duras,
I also tend to start books and not finish them, ... :-) But "Never let me go" was really amazing, ... I almost put it down, because it looked as if it were just a harmless student /college love story, ... When I discovered what was really going on (cloning humans), I felt shocked and had to continue ... Ishiguro is really a master of hiding intricate details between the lines. I also read "Klara and the Sun", which I found even better (on AI and genetic modification). All the best from Oberursel (near Frankfurt)
My first Arthur Miller this morning: "All My Sons". About pining for the return of a war casualty apparently. I'm only partway through it. I've never even read/seen Death of a Salesman.
Because I can't speak Spanish :D And my French is a little rusty, so I'm not sure I would get everything if my first read was in French. Besides, I like to share things here on this channel, so English is best.
@@hannomatt I don't have experience with Borges in German... Proust can be nice in German. I would just try to get some excerpts and see what resonates with you 🙂
the best "self-help" book i know of is Awareness by Anthony De Mello, a late Jesuit priest of Portuguese ancestey reared in India. A most beautiful human being
Hallo! Falls du den Ulysses lesen möchtest, möchte ich dich auf die sehr gut kommentierte (am Rand, neben dem Text) neue Suhrkamp-Ausgabe aufmerksam machen. Vielleicht hilft es dir, sie neben dem Original in Englisch aufgeschlagen zu haben. Viele Grüße Giacomo
At this point, I feel like TH-camrs think it's obligatory to show they regularly tap into a well of meditative mindfulness, and so yoga, an Eastern import, a fleeting fad among middle class, university-educated Western women, has evolved into a rule of thumb for conveying 'sophistication' in the narrow aesthetic sense of the word. I'm sure there are health benefits to be had, but, it is undeniably the equivalent of having a Mac for a personal brand to keep up with the Joneses. Saying this as an observer on TH-cam Books are like food, really. If you consume too much in a short space of time, inevitably you are going to feel saturated, overwhelmed and may find clear thinking very difficult to capture because you are wrestling with multiple voices and worldviews inside your head, without coming to a final resolution to make sense of it all. Kind of like opening up yourself to multiple possessions, eh? Monogamous reading comes in handy in putting aside and structuring the chaos that is avaricious reading. The question you may want to throw at yourself: what do you hope to gain from reading so much in so little time? What do you hope to retain? One of the things I like about poetry: it compels me to read more slowly, reflectively, to narrow my focus on the line, the stanza, the imagery.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Madame Bovary. It is one of my favorite classics
Thank you so much for saying all that ❤ And I absolutely LOVE Madame Bovary. I didn't expect that!

I lov this video. Bernhard, Zweig, Shakespeare. Recently, he leido la parte de Macbeth del libro de Harold Bloom. Saludos!
That piano piece is lovely!! What’s it called?
"From Gagarin's Point of View" + some improvisation on it :-)
@@strange.lucidity you did a good job. I took piano as a child.

Thank you! That might have been exactly what I needed to hear to give "Never Let Me Go" another shot. I appreciate it! All the best ❤
The books are highly oracular this morning. Anne Kelleher? I remember her well.
My first Arthur Miller this morning: "All My Sons". About pining for the return of a war casualty apparently. I'm only partway through it. I've never even read/seen Death of a Salesman.
be happy always .🌙Ali🌙💗✈
A really nice bookish vlog! How come you read Borges and Proust in the English translation?
Because I can't speak Spanish :D And my French is a little rusty, so I'm not sure I would get everything if my first read was in French. Besides, I like to share things here on this channel, so English is best.
@@strange.lucidity Got it. I thought that you may have some issues with the German translation (which I consider reading).
@@hannomatt I don't have experience with Borges in German... Proust can be nice in German. I would just try to get some excerpts and see what resonates with you 🙂
Come for the books, stay for the nice blond hair and glasses!
Luke Skywalker: "I shouldn't have come. I'm endangering the mission!" I'm telling you ... that Darth Vader is psychic.
Hi! do you like Aurora's songs? you have her vibe :)
Haha aww, I love her and often sing her songs. Plus, she's Norwegian. So this is a huge compliment, thanks :-)
🥰
🎉
Life is too short to keep reading books you don’t connect with.
Also, Borges!
Make sure to read A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man before Ulysses. It is technically a sequel.
