I think every single cat has that eastern european grandpa spirit inside them And every single dog has a college guy inside them, who's constantly happy, helpful and his name is Brian.
My biggest accomplishment is reading the entirety of "East of Eden" for AP English summer reading in one day, the day before school started, AND wrote a 5 page essay on it. I've peaked, it's only downhill from here.
I picked this book from the library like 5 years ago and I remember the day I had to return it I still had like 30 pages left and I just sat at the library like “Don’t close yet PLEASE I’m almost done!” The librarian had to stay like 20 minutes longer but she was pretty cool about it, she gifted me a copy of the book the next time I went there.
After not reading for years I got back into it with a big theory book and I think that's the best way to do it, once you finish you're like "okay but if I've managed to read through this whole entire thing then I can read anything" and it makes you excited to go for more books :)
Anyone have any tips for me? I love learning and reading the classics but I have adhd and just learned I could be dyslexic so I’m really confused right now. But I just got a copy of to kill a mockingbird and huckleberry finn
no harm in reading easy books. im currently in the middle of pachinko, a 500 page book about 4 generations of a family living in a japanese-occupied korea, , IT, which is like 1100 pages, speaker for the dead, a deeply philosophical science fiction novel, and....one of the old diary of a wimpy kid books. sometimes you just need something breezy.
emma chamberlain gets back into reading with a thick classic? i am an idiot who reads classics for fun, i could never and i must bow down before the alpha
hey have you ever watched gilmore girls? i think it would be cool if you reviewed the books that jess mariano (aka the bad boy who loves only the protagonist and hates the world) reads!
I’m from Salinas, CA, John Steinbeck’s home town & where a lot of his stories are based out of, & he actually wrote about real families from our town & from the beach towns 20mins away from us, but would change their names & it use to cause so much drama back in the day lol he’s a savage, as well as a genius !
if you like east of eden i really recommend reading ‘of mice and men’ by john steinbeck it’s a really short read and you’ll become super attached to the characters + there’s a huge plot twist at the end 😩
My husband has to read a lot for work and therefore doesn’t often enjoy reading in his free time. I recommended East of Eden to him and it’s the first time in a long time that he would rather read than watch something in the evenings. Makes me happy.
Carley you should read Death with interruptions by Jose Saramago, its a pain in the ass but it slaps. And it has this starts-boring-gets-good-boring-again-its-so-good vibes
East of Eden is one of the few classics that I can actually manage to digest. It’s arguably one of my favourite books of all time. And that’s saying something considering that classics make me want to sleep myself into a coma😌💃🏻
ngl all my hoodies are depression fleeces. They all go down to my thigh and engulf me. Its the best feeling ever. Summer can try me all it can but depression hoodies will always win 🤜🤛
I feel like average contemporary or lit fiction is around 300 pages usually, so 600 is twice the length. I can see how that could intimidate someone, especially if they're not used to reading classics so there's a bit of a language barrier too.
Okay but the depression fleece. I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I have a depression jumper. It’s old and the sleeves are tearing but it’s the perfect thing ever
if u haven't already u should do a "reading subscribers' favourite books" and have a way for ppl to send in some of their faves and u can read + talk about them!
I've had this book sitting on my desk for months and this is finally giving me the push to read it. Thank God for Emma Chamberlain, we will see how we like it.
Currently listening to "My year of rest and relaxation" after your last video aaaaand it's really something different. I'm enjoying it, thanks! Love you and your videos! :D
read the book The Pearl by John Steinbeck, its another really interesting book of his, its very short compared to East of eden but it talks about the issues with colonialism, class differences, oppression, role of women in society and more... its really short but REALLY good
the part about gatekeeping reading.... u said what needed 2 be said !!!! idk if it's about that one tiktok but it certainly reminded me of that one tiktok !
I started watching emma Chamberlain's videos after you mentioned her podcast and now I'm drinking iced coffee everyday and am about to start east of Eden 😳The sheer INFLUENCE you both have lol THIS IS AMAZING!!
East of Eden is worth the read 😭 I think is beautifully written and love the themes of this book! I think this book can be relatable for many generations to come.
I read this book a couple months ago because one of my favorite songs is basically based on it, but I ended up really loving the book. Basically, everything you said in this video was my exact thoughts and reactions. But the song is called Timshel and it's by Mumford & Sons. It's super slow and beautiful and it's great. Anyways, I love this video (:
Emma has a super similar looking fleece she always wears to bed and she possesses the same unhinged cat lady energy as you...it's the girl boss connection :)
I was honestly so relieved when you said you loved it 🙈🤣 Don't know what it is about my favourite books, it hurts me when people hate them 🤣🤣🤣 So fuckin silly 😂😂
@@uncarley It's like, I respect your right to your opinion, art is subjective yadda yadda yadda but I also kinda wanna slap you, have you no taste, you goddam troglodyte 🙈🤣
discovered this channel today and i dont know how i ever lived without it. i will be adopting your personality for the next few days and adding a couple hundred books and poems to my reading list :)

Part of me feels like Sophia is just an old eastern european man stuck inside a cat and is sick of carley's questions
she literally hates me and finds me so annoying and i love her more than anything in this world
@@uncarley aw just like me and my mom
@@arunimagahlot8781 -I
I think every single cat has that eastern european grandpa spirit inside them

i love how carley spent 10 minutes saying she would never read this of her own volition as if emma chamberlain is blackmailing her
SToP this made me GASP! i love me pretending i HAVe to read it
i had to google volition to understand this comment. maybe i should start reading after all
My biggest accomplishment is reading the entirety of "East of Eden" for AP English summer reading in one day, the day before school started, AND wrote a 5 page essay on it. I've peaked, it's only downhill from here.
im scared of this comment
Your downhill is probably better than my highest point then, I mean HOW DID YOU DO THAT IN ONE DAY ARE YOU GOD
I kind of wanna know how you did it but I'm also scared
How did you do on your essay?
The power you held ... how was that 🧍♀️
I picked this book from the library like 5 years ago and I remember the day I had to return it I still had like 30 pages left and I just sat at the library like “Don’t close yet PLEASE I’m almost done!” The librarian had to stay like 20 minutes longer but she was pretty cool about it, she gifted me a copy of the book the next time I went there.
omg librarians are the sweetest
that’s the sweetest thing omg
thats so cute bye
Got to love librarians!!!!!
mathilda is this you ?
Emma really just said: I’m smarter than any of you, and had the audacity to be right.
she really did
girlboss, you should start a podcast because i can listen to you talk about basically anything for hours
I support this message
Same you should girlboss
Please
Yes!
She gives Emma vibes positive vibes
Voluntarily reading a 600 page classic as your reintroduction to reading ... I’m scared of Emma
i know... the power she holds
that's how i did it when i restarted reading this last year with a tale of two cities and honestly that's the best way to start reading books again🙏
After not reading for years I got back into it with a big theory book and I think that's the best way to do it, once you finish you're like "okay but if I've managed to read through this whole entire thing then I can read anything" and it makes you excited to go for more books :)
I went from being in a 3 year reading slump to binge reading classics.
Anyone have any tips for me? I love learning and reading the classics but I have adhd and just learned I could be dyslexic so I’m really confused right now. But I just got a copy of to kill a mockingbird and huckleberry finn
HOT. BOOK. SUMMER.
this video is going to be my primary source of serotonin for the foreseeable future, thank u
Wow two of my favorite booktubers
Hot book summer is here to STAY!
My worlds are colliding and I am way too happy about it
I would love to see a collab between you two, discussing the questionable book-recommendations of celebrities
we are ushering HOT BOOK SUMMER and no one can stop us
the way I stan booktube as if I actually read
the audacity
this is the energy we all need
bestie coming for us lol (by us I mean me)
All the books I own have more drawing than words
Every time I get more books I go “one day I’ll read it” and that day never comes
@@amolove24IF THIS ISNT ME 😭
It’s sad that the book getting her back into reading is 500 times harder than all the books I’ve been reading for at least 5 years...
dude same im in awe of her
If you haven't read it, I definitely recommend it. It's one of my favorites along with Pride and Prejudice and Dune.
no harm in reading easy books. im currently in the middle of pachinko, a 500 page book about 4 generations of a family living in a japanese-occupied korea, , IT, which is like 1100 pages, speaker for the dead, a deeply philosophical science fiction novel, and....one of the old diary of a wimpy kid books. sometimes you just need something breezy.
@@tedros6917 That is such a mood lolll
I just chose this book today to start reading again after 1 year. I hope I'll love it, lol
carrying booktube AND the fashion industry on your shoulders
🥺🥺 thank you bestie 💖
Carley wanting to hate books and reluctantly liking them is my love language
unfortunately this is true
When Emma said she started reading, the whole book community was summoned
emma chamberlain gets back into reading with a thick classic? i am an idiot who reads classics for fun, i could never and i must bow down before the alpha
she is the alpha now
I also read classics for fun and can confirm emma is probs a psychopath
Ur profile pic 💯 ‼️
The fact that Carley quoted Hamilton while reading a book that has a Hamilton family screams I’m better than you all energy. And she’s right
im unfortunately a hamilton fan to my BOnES
@@uncarley and we love you for it
@@uncarley as everyone should be
yesss!
I got an ad for Hamilton moments later 😂
PLEASE DO ONE ON DAKOTA JOHNSONS FAVORITE BOOKS
I have a feeing she has an unedited video of it on her laptop
Hacking into it as we speak :p
lol yes i literally do have an unedited video of this 😈
yayayayayayay
Yessssssssss
hey have you ever watched gilmore girls? i think it would be cool if you reviewed the books that jess mariano (aka the bad boy who loves only the protagonist and hates the world) reads!

YES
I THIRD this

I was so extremely bored of youtube until i found this channel so thank you. I will need more content from you, please and thank you
Wait i just got to the part of the video where you say you are burnt out, take your time putting out content dont listen to me
thank you 🥺 this is so kind
took a break from depression just to watch your video, thank you for the free serotonin girlboss
anytime bestie 💖
the fact that you treat john steinbeck as like an indie writer the entire video is killing me
Emma reading a 600 pages book as her first book since a long a time is purely gemini🌸✨
yes unhinged in the best way
this is meta girlbossing at it's finest and i love it
we love a meta girlboss moment
it genuinely is it's my favorite thing
The fact that Carley gives off so much Emma Chamberlain vibes and now she's reading her recommended book 😌
if you like east of eden i really recommend reading ‘of mice and men’ by john steinbeck it’s a really short read and you’ll become super attached to the characters + there’s a huge plot twist at the end 😩
And it’s short
my heart cried for Lennie
YUH but justice for lennie
I LOVEE of mice and men!! Great recommendation
🐰
You are my reminder that today is Sunday...
honestly same
did u know that jack edwards recommended u to people? girlboss things only😎
omg no!! the king of booktube
@@uncarley i can literally send u the screenshot thru ig!
Omg where
And now he's commented on this very video 😎
Omg in what video?
I need to say it: the reading vlog part of these videos is so fun, it would be great if you could make it a little longer
love this! will do
Love how we're talking to Steinbeck as if he hasn't been dead for over 50 years
Omg 😂 That's actually horrible I didn't know that.
girlboss you should do one on bill hader’s favourite books, or any of your favourite comedians’ favourite books
Omg yes
My husband has to read a lot for work and therefore doesn’t often enjoy reading in his free time. I recommended East of Eden to him and it’s the first time in a long time that he would rather read than watch something in the evenings. Makes me happy.
We need the Namjoon one!! Also I love this series
east of eden has been my favorite book for a while and i am LIVING for all of this sudden new discourse
Carley you should read Death with interruptions by Jose Saramago, its a pain in the ass but it slaps. And it has this starts-boring-gets-good-boring-again-its-so-good vibes
omg "pain in the ass but slaps" is exactly east of edens vibe
“Cathy. Wtf.” Bringing me right back to that AP lit headspace
This is my comfort video
i cant believe carly was the first person to discover Steinbeck 😍😍😍😍😍
East of Eden is one of the few classics that I can actually manage to digest. It’s arguably one of my favourite books of all time. And that’s saying something considering that classics make me want to sleep myself into a coma😌💃🏻
ngl all my hoodies are depression fleeces. They all go down to my thigh and engulf me. Its the best feeling ever. Summer can try me all it can but depression hoodies will always win 🤜🤛
nothing can stop depression hoodies
@@uncarley sisterhood of the traveling depression hoodies
steinbeck can truly rest in peace now that you've approved his writing
Dude, you should read 100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Its a Latin American masterpiece. Just go for it
Searching for latin literature comments so i can comment too
fucking masterpiece. Pretty much the only book I’ve read multiple times
And she should read Crónica de una muerte anunciada too, IT'S AWESOME.
I think it's better to start with Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo
@@liammarshall-butler3384 love this.
East of Eden is on of my favorite books!!! Im so stocked to see young people reading it!
LOVING ALL THESE VIDEOS AHHHHH
thank you bestie 🥺
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Okay but I get the depression fleece- like I really get it
she was there for me when no one else was
This is EVERYTHING i never knew i needed...two queens in one video 👑, daily serotonin boost acquired
i’m amazed you were able to do this in a timely manner omg it took me 9 months to finish priory of the orange tree 😩
i pushed through for #content
@@uncarley that sounds like it might be the move 🤣🤣
I appreciate the refresher. Apparently I read this 2 years ago... and I remember nothing
i do this all the time... im like "apparently i read pride and prejudice??"
carley describing the purpose of the ~breakdown fleece~ and then proceeding to wear it in the next shot.
artistic excellence.
I feel like you and Emma would be good friends. Like your personalities would work so well together
I swear, everytime I sit down to edit, there's a new Uncarley video to distract me
😈😈😈
Eyy thank you, very much, back at you ❤️
genuine question: why is the number of pages scary for some people? i feel like 400-500 pages is the average book. this is just a little above that.
probs cuz those longer books tend to be slow burns vs like 200/300 page books that are faster paced but idk
i actually love long books because if i love the book so much i’d love it not to end at all do i appreciate it being big
I feel like average contemporary or lit fiction is around 300 pages usually, so 600 is twice the length. I can see how that could intimidate someone, especially if they're not used to reading classics so there's a bit of a language barrier too.
You and emma have very similar energy and i am here for it
this is the best compliment
Yes Carley, you really struggled through it for US we love you 😪 (Emma you better watch)
anything for my girlbosses
Okay but the depression fleece. I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. I have a depression jumper. It’s old and the sleeves are tearing but it’s the perfect thing ever
I love how Carley takes time to read and reply all the comments now I just want to come up with something smart and funny to make her laugh
if u haven't already u should do a "reading subscribers' favourite books" and have a way for ppl to send in some of their faves and u can read + talk about them!
I just found your channel through this video and your format is concise, articulate, and charmingly witty. Can’t wait to see more content from you!
Yes I needed a Carley video today!!
This John Steinbeck fella really on the come up
A Little Life was the first book I read after not reading a full book for years and it got me back into reading 😭
Omg, I hear it’s so painful to read though
I've had this book sitting on my desk for months and this is finally giving me the push to read it. Thank God for Emma Chamberlain, we will see how we like it.
took a break from writing my final papers to come binge your videos and there's a NEW ONE? incredible
Carley quoting Hamilton is now my new favorite thing 🛐
I have to study but now I want to procrastinate by reading this. But then again it might make me smarter. Hmmmmm
💖always procrastinate🌷
ahaha WILL DO thanks😌
girlboss just remembered that you HAVE to read Emma Watson's fav books, she reads a lot and she's a girlboss too, kisses.
This makes me so happy, because I know there are a lot of people that follow Emma that will now pick up reading
Great.
phoebe bridgers’ fave books‼️ some of them sound right up your alley!!!!!!!
this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I must say, I like the vibes here
carley says she was feeling burnt out and i didn’t believe her until i noticed the missing chunky rings and was like damn 😭
Currently listening to "My year of rest and relaxation" after your last video aaaaand it's really something different. I'm enjoying it, thanks! Love you and your videos! :D
I admit I was pissed listening to her podcast lol but here's our queen Carley to remind us not to gatekeep
i mean- you’re literally my comfort person
GIRL, THAT'S MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME, I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS
She feels like such a fun person to be around 🥺
i was just watching the taylor swift one then got a notification for this one
Man, I’ve been on a serious binge of your channel this weekend so thanks for keeping the content coming
officially waiting for the “I read Carley Thorne’s favorite books” by Jack Edwards and its partner video by Carley
East of Eden is actually my favorite book of all time, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

Omg thankyou 😭
Yes omg
You need a podcast queen I love you
how does she make me want to read every single book that she reads
I read this book a couple months ago because one of my favorite songs is basically based on it, but I ended up really loving the book. Basically, everything you said in this video was my exact thoughts and reactions. But the song is called Timshel and it's by Mumford & Sons. It's super slow and beautiful and it's great.

I'm so happy Carley is an Emma-liker people hate Emma for no reason so often
