I was introduced to Flannery O’Connor with “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, and I’ve been in love with her writing ever since. “Good Country People” is my favorite of hers!
I love it! Thought you were going to say Moby Dick. I shouted a laugh and clapped. I’m presently working on a novel that is the marriage of Flannery O’Connor to Charles Bukowski. Two contemporaries from different worlds that shocked their readers. Look for the biopic, Wildcat. Watch Ethan and Maya Hawke's conversation with Bishop Robert Baron on his Word On Fire show. PS, start with Parker’s Back.
Rats, I was excited about your channel, but I consider Flannery O'Connor to be the worst, most over-rated writer of all time. "Wise Blood" was sophomoric treacle. I can't convey the depth of my loathing for that book. But, hey, The Brothers of Karamazov was good, and to each his own. .
Similarly I have found it a physical chore to read her (O'Connor) -- pushing through page after unpleasant page hoping for an eventual payoff that never arrives!. And I too really like this guy and his channel. But I have to acknowledge a sharp difference in literary taste if FO is his #1 favorite.
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,”-Romans 1:20
Now that is an unexpected nr. 1! Last year I did read her novel Wise Blood, which I thought was radical, unsettling and brilliant. Now I'm interested in reading her short stories as well. And her Prayer Journal. For the rest, your top 10 and mine have only two books in common: David Copperfield and The Brothers Karamazov, the latter being my personal nr. 1.

Man, I never would have seen that coming.

Man. :/ this kind of turned me off from reading O’Connor
(Not because this is any way a bad video!) (Im a threatened existentialist 😂)
@@kintrap5376 Gotcha - I get it - have you read any of her stories yet?
My favourite book is called Book, written by Booky McBookbook in his hometown of Book which is part of Bookasia on the planet Book.
Moby Dick missing from your top ten, but I love Flannery O’Connor, so no qualms there.
The ending to The Dead by James Joyce reminded me of ending in Revelation. Just read Revelation OMG.
Evidence of God's existence is lacking.
Look around you.

Not familiar with F. O’Connor but peaked my interest so I ordered the book!
I've only read "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" from the collection. This makes me want to read all of her stories!
Very intrigued! I’m going to order the book!
So great, I ordered this book.
Love your presentation.

I'd love to see your list! I'm always fascinated with what books people love!
@@BruceEtter Okay, I'll send you an e-mail like you suggested in the video!
