God, I love watching people who are so genuinely passionate about something. Not trying to sell you anything, or make you believe something, but just sharing their true passions. Thank you
When you said "Can I read some of this to you?" ABSOLUTELY! Your care and love for these books are completely infectious! The beauty written in these books a truly something else! Thank you for sharing your favorites. Now I know what my next reads shall be. And lastly, your video simply helped me out of my pause on reading. :)
Please do, my favourite thing to do is reading my books along side TH-cam audio. It feels like your reading with a friend. I know...kinda weird but aren't we all...

Absolutely love the way you talk about books, you can see how much love they give you and how much love you give them. I have also read Circe and enjoyed it so so much, the way Circe has a deep love and admiration towards humans, how the writer expesses that love in such a poetic way, it really is an amazing read. A book that really resonated with me was "Call me by your name" by André Aciman, I know it´s such a known and heard book but when I tell you it has one of the best and most beautiful writing I have ever encountered myself with, to me it´s a book about the beauty and love for life and it´s simplicity. -Really looking forward to more of your content and hope you have a nice week! 💗
I absolutely agree. Watched this video two nights ago and subscribed. Love the passion for books and writing. One of my sons shares my love of books and has the same version of Circe. I must read it now! Thank you for sharing and look forward to your videos. Take care my friend!
I love Circe too! Madeline Miller is such a beautiful writer and I relate to you as well with the wanting to live on Circe's island. Some of my favorite quotes: "I touched the thought like a bruise, testing it's ache" "His eyes were brown and warm as summer earth" So beautiful ❤️
it was hard to pick circe over SoA, but it won me over with its incredible atmosphere and a sense of freedom and also femme rage that ihaven't found anywhere, thanks to its beautiful prose
In an age filled with fast consumption of content, here you are easily grabbing my hand, sitting me down, sharing a coffee and a passionate talk about your passion, never loved books as much as I loved it today, I could imagine Wilde tearing if he listens to you talking about his book like this is genuine love, I wish days would bring full circle to meeting just to have a talk about passion and books, keep going this is one of the best content thanks for sharing it with us ❤
Circe is my favorite book, too! I read it for the first time in 2019 and it molded me into the person I am today. The prose is gorgeous and introspective. Love the way you spoke about your home in relation to Circe’s island, I feel the same way about my own home. When my husband and I got married in 2022, we did a book binding unity ceremony. We each read a passage from a meaningful book (mine was Circe, of course) and then tied them together with ribbon. After the wedding, we had the two books professionally bound into one. Leather cover, gilded pages, the works. 😁 Our officiant, a friend of ours, made a point to read Circe before our wedding. He also really enjoyed it and incorporated messages from the book into his opening remarks-very touching. I haven’t read your other favorites, but will definitely do so!
Your excitement and wonder for books is so refreshing and different from other book-tube channels. Looking forward to listening to you more. And you have such a cosy library !
I’ve just bought Circe on Audible now, after seeing this channel review and your comment. I had 4 credits to spend 😊 I have the actual book somewhere but as I have so many bookcases and approx 5k books, I’d take a while to find it
The intensity of the joy and passion on display in this video is delightful and wholesome and inspiring. I know no one in my personal life who loves books as fully and effusively as I do, and it sometimes feels quite isolating. To be able to find people who feel the same way on TH-cam might seem trivial, but it really does mean a lot.
This is the first video of your's that I have seen, firstly I just loved how you can send out your joy of your beloved books, 2nd you made me want to revisit some of your favorites. (Delightful)
Spoiler requested ….. I suffer from depression and would like to know if Circe has a sad ending. (I stopped reading Song of Achilles when they reached Troy - for obvious reasons)
The way you talk about Dorian Gray is how I felt about Blood Meridian. Never before had I ever felt like I had to annotate and use tabs on my own until I read this book. I had to do that kind of thing many years ago in high school and college because I was forced to but for the first time reading Blood Meridian made me want to dig deeper on my own. To really understand the essence of what Cormac McCarthy was writing and to really catch every single detail of the pictures he was painting. It was so visceral. It was gruesome. It was so real. So fascinating, disgusting, impactful and beautiful all at once.
hello Magus and greetings to all, I would like to mention to you the book - the hidden truths of wealth, which talks about the mysterious secrets of attracting money and building massive businesses, simply genius, and once again to thank you for such a good video
I love how passionate you are. This made my day. Also, I agree with so many of your picks. Circe, The Shadow of The Wind, The Night Circus, The Picture of Dorian Gray….amazing list.
This was such a delight! I clicked because I saw Circe in the thumbnail and I'm so glad I did! The way you talk about books is so emotionally charged, it truly reflects the way I feel about them. Circe is a masterpiece that I have and will read many times over. Thanks for the other recommendations too!! Wishing you all the best:)
Hi, you seem so lovely and I'd really like to hear you talk about your favorite books but I'm scared of spoilers haha so please let me know if it's spoiler free :D thank you!
I recommend “All the Light We Cannot See”. Netflix did a series but it in no way captures the heartbreaking beauty of the novel. Love love love you, Magi!
I just finished that book and it was so amazing! I was absolutely devastated when Werner died stepping on the mine. I was so convinced that Marie would find him again...
We had to move and downsize and leave much of our 800 books”library”. Your room reminded me of ours. The doors window backyard. The person who so graciously helped us downsize didn’t understand books. They actually said “but they’re not PRETTY BOOKS “. Ohhhh they are the thing I miss the most. I’m disabled so I couldn’t deal with them myself. What a blessing to find your site. Someone who cares and gets it!!!!
This is the first time I saw your video and like all who left a comment here I loved the way you express your passion for books and words. I am, as well, in love with the world of literature and find it a blessing to be able to understand and enjoy the beauty of a good writing. Life is unbelievable, miraculous, wonderful.... says a character in one of Woody Allen's films. Here I was - in São Paulo, Brazil ( that far away!) beginning to clean and declutter my closet this Friday afternoon, when I decided to look for something cheerful to listen to while working. I just found you by chance, talking about your 5 favourite books. Needless to say that I could not go on with my cleaning. Just sat and watched all the way through. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your love for books and for the wonderful suggestions. I won't miss any of your videos from now on!
I’m so so happy I found your channel today. Please keep doing this. :) I’m 37 and getting back into reading again… I can’t wait to go through your videos, as your passion and excitement is infectious! ❤
Love anything done by Madeline Miller. One of my favourite quotes from Circe is “I had no right to claim him, I knew it. But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me”. 🤗
Oh my God! Finally, somebody is talking about The Shadow Of The Wind! This book made me fall in love with reading! I recently just bought the whole series. I'm so excited to reread this series!
I just found your channel and I love the way you talk about books! Circe and The Shadow of the Wind are also a couple of my favorites I haven’t read The Picture of Dorian Gray but it will be my next read.
I'm a bit dumbfounded... first time visiting your channel. Shadow of the Wind, Circe, and the Night Circus are 3 of my very favorite books and I have spoken about them just as you have. I've not read Picture of Dorian Gray - but it's on the list now. I love how you speak with such love and even reverence about books and words. Very powerful. I am an artist (painter) and feel that my paintings are expressions of my soul. Line, color, texture etc are the tools that I use, just as a writer uses words to render a true expression of the soul. I also have noticed that poets write very beautiful novels... do you know Anne Michaels? A Canadian poet and author who recently published a novel called 'Held' which I recommend. So happy I've discovered your channel - thank you.
Welcome my wonderful friend, thank you for your beautiful comment, I love how you express your very self in your art, love it. I will check out Anne Michael’s. Sending Love
Hello my sir hope you’re doing great . I was looking for book recommendations & came across the video. I actually saw Circe in this book shop which is in my small town & picture of Dorian gray is in my tbr from like year I guess . I’m currently reading Norwegian woods by murakami and as soon as I finish that book I’ll definitely read pic of Dorian gray . I wanted to ask you have you read any works of Kahlil gibran if yes can u please make a video about his works if possible. I’m subscribing your channel I love how beautiful you explain everything, you remind me of someone I don’t know who actually but I ve tears in my eyes right now . I don’t know you but I hope you ve blessed life . Have a great time 🤍🫶
Thank you my wonderful friend, you are so sweet, you blessed me more than you know. Love you ❤️ that is a great idea to do a video on Kahil Gibran. Bless You
@@Magus9oh my god you replied, thank you so much sir . I can finally sleep peacefully now . Have a wonderful day ❤god bless you . I hope u know that you’re amazing keep up the good work .
Ready Player One really gripped me. I couldn't put it down! Amazing book. This is coming from a guy that usually only gets two chapters into a new book and gives up because its too slow / boring.
Thank you, thank you for these book reviews. I had read The Picture of Dorian Grey and was aware of the other 4 books, but wasn't interested enough to actually read them. I certainly will read them now. Please review more books whenever possible.
Ray Bradbury has a wonderful passage about books being "friends"--or was it the authors themselves as represented by their books? Anyway totally convincing.
Mine would have to be, in no specific order: -The Oath -Pilgrim’s Progress -One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest -The Grapes of Wrath -The Wind in the Willows -Beowulf -Watchers -The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon -Monster -Vanish
My fave is three musketeers. This is never listed or mentioned by anyone on TH-cam as I can find. Love book. The musketeers are so sensitive and ready. I guess Im one of those true to the core romantic personalities. I know: my undoing …
Just found your channel, and enjoying your enthusiasm very much 😊 📚 I have subscribed! 🎉 I live in London UK, and I used to work in a pub in Chelsea, and every day, I walked past where Oscar Wilde lived, Tite St. There is a plaque there now. There is a book ‘The Street Of Wonderful Possibilities’ by Devon Cox - it’s a history about all the famous writers and artists and other accomplished people who have lived in Tite St. I haven’t read it, but I will soon.
I'm not even English-speaker (I'm French) but this video has been recommended to me and I've to admit that it was a wonderful discovery. For sure I'll watch more videos of you in the future as your passion is contagious and you seem so kind! Thank you so much to make books vibrate that much !
Circe was one of my favorites too!! I'm rereading right now and ugh the story is so strong and beautiful, it feels like you're there with her through those centuries. Being with her through so many changes and relatable moments of adolescence & womanhood is truly magical, the book feels so long, in a good way!! And I agree, I totally wanted to be on that island with her too, just mixing herbs and caring for the land and creatures. I have two copies of Dorian Gray that I haven't cracked open yet so that will be my next read :)
You really made my day! It was so beautiful listening to you talk about books, thank you for sharing! I have read and loved The Picture of Dorian Gray, but you talking about it made me want to read it again ahahaha... I was debating whether to read the Night Circus and Circe, but you have convinced me to do it!! I also adore beautiful prose and my two favorite books of all time are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and Interview with the Vampire, both of which have breathtaking prose, so I would definitely recommend both! Thank you again for the wonderful video, you've got a new subscriber
Thank you my wonderful friend, I love interview with a vampire and really need to read we were briefly gorgeous, I've heard great things about it. Sending love
love your reading area.. I know what you mean about books about books. Speaking of movies about books what do you think of The 9th gate with Johnyy Depp? love that movie about books.
I love the way you talk about books, you are so evidently moved by these stories and I sense so much passion in your voice-that is so rare to see these days. You are a blessing.
I checked out The Picture of Dorian Gray today from my local library. It’s a very old copy . Stamped for its first check out in 1973. ❤it’s a perfect cozy day book. Can’t wait to read it.
Ready Player One was an amazing book, I was surprised how much better it was than the movie. Question for you... Have you read the sequel and if so what did you think? I have heard mixed reviews.
Circe está de pelos!!...fácil lectura y una manera más amena de conocer el mundo griego por medio de su mitología! fascinante! y te sacará más de alguna sonrisa por la pobre Circe con sus allegados que son divinidades menores. Saludos Magus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im always looking for more recs from male readers, especially so that I can pass book recs down to my husband. Of course he can read ANYTHING, but we don’t have the same taste normally, and the fact that you have not only twilight but the mortal instruments behind you is what caught my eye. While not the best pieces of literary fiction, those are some of my favorite comfort series. Makes me feel like I’ll get well rounded opinions lol.
Thank you my wonderful friend, yes I keep all my comfort reads around me, and Mortal Instruments sooooo good. I hope your husband enjoys my picks. Bless You
The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass is an absolute pleasure. There's craft, imagination and creativity on every page. It makes you wanna be a writer. "Crime and punishment" is the kind of book that's an experience that lasts a life time. You will live the story and the character. Dostoyvsky is a writer's writer. A god.
If you are into fantasy books- check out "The will of the many" by James Islington. Really skilled writer and a great story. Also- "Gone" series by Michael Grant. Very, very good😊 And if not into fantasy- "Shantaram" by G.D. Roberts- another great writer.

Circe as an audiobook is incredible. One of the best narrations I’ve heard.
I'm so excited to check out the audiobook, thank you great idea. Sending love
Who is reading it please?

My favourite!!!!!

I haven't read Circe. But I really enjoyed Song of Achilles also by Madeline Miller.
I still haven't read song of Achilles, I really need to. I know you will love Circe. Sending love
Circe is amazing, I found a new genre that I love!
The intensity of the joy and passion on display in this video is delightful and wholesome and inspiring. I know no one in my personal life who loves books as fully and effusively as I do, and it sometimes feels quite isolating.

Hello my wonderful friend, it has a beautiful ending. Bless You
Have you read “Song Of Achilles”?
Not yet, I really need to. I've heard it is amazing. Sending love
The way you talk about Dorian Gray is how I felt about Blood Meridian. Never before had I ever felt like I had to annotate and use tabs on my own until I read this book. I had to do that kind of thing many years ago in high school and college because I was forced to but for the first time reading Blood Meridian made me want to dig deeper on my own. To really understand the essence of what Cormac McCarthy was writing and to really catch every single detail of the pictures he was painting. It was so visceral. It was gruesome. It was so real. So fascinating, disgusting, impactful and beautiful all at once.
You have me wanting to check out Blood Meridian now, thank you my friend
If you like poets writing prose, I would recommend (if you haven't read it) my favourite novel Nightwood by Djuna Barnes.
Yes thank you, I am excited to check it out. Sending love my friend
The God of Small Things is an excellent work of craft and experimentation with English language. One just devours it.
Thank you my friend, I look forward to checking it out ❤️

Ready Player One really gripped me. I couldn't put it down! Amazing book. This is coming from a guy that usually only gets two chapters into a new book and gives up because its too slow / boring.
Yes, it is so good, I couldn't put it down. Bless you my friend
Thank you, thank you for these book reviews. I had read The Picture of Dorian Grey and was aware of the other 4 books, but wasn't interested enough to actually read them. I certainly will read them now.
Please review more books whenever possible.
I know you will love them, bless you my friend
Ray Bradbury has a wonderful passage about books being "friends"--or was it the authors themselves as represented by their books? Anyway totally convincing.

I subscribed as soon as you talked about your coffee and a blustery day…settling in to listen now ❤
Love you my wonderful friend
My fave is three musketeers. This is never listed or mentioned by anyone on TH-cam as I can find. Love book. The musketeers are so sensitive and ready. I guess Im one of those true to the core romantic personalities. I know: my undoing …
Hello my wonderful friend, I have only seen the movie, now I want to read the book. Sending love

I live in London UK, and I used to work in a pub in Chelsea, and every day, I walked past where Oscar Wilde lived, Tite St. There is a plaque there now.
There is a book ‘The Street Of Wonderful Possibilities’ by Devon Cox - it’s a history about all the famous writers and artists and other accomplished people who have lived in Tite St. I haven’t read it, but I will soon.
Hello my wonderful friend, I would love to see where Oscar Wilde lived, that is awesome. Sending love
I'm not even English-speaker (I'm French) but this video has been recommended to me and I've to admit that it was a wonderful discovery.
For sure I'll watch more videos of you in the future as your passion is contagious and you seem so kind!
Thank you so much to make books vibrate that much !
Love you my wonderful friend ❤️
everything about this video is beautiful.
Thank you my friend, sending love
Circe was one of my favorites too!! I'm rereading right now and ugh the story is so strong and beautiful, it feels like you're there with her through those centuries. Being with her through so many changes and relatable moments of adolescence & womanhood is truly magical, the book feels so long, in a good way!! And I agree, I totally wanted to be on that island with her too, just mixing herbs and caring for the land and creatures. I have two copies of Dorian Gray that I haven't cracked open yet so that will be my next read :)
Yes you really feel the island the atmosphere sooooo beautiful. You are in for a special treat with The Picture Of Dorian Gray. Bless You My Friend ❤️
Reading is “fun-to-mental “ Eddie griffin
Love that ❤️
You really made my day! It was so beautiful listening to you talk about books, thank you for sharing! I have read and loved The Picture of Dorian Gray, but you talking about it made me want to read it again ahahaha... I was debating whether to read the Night Circus and Circe, but you have convinced me to do it!! I also adore beautiful prose and my two favorite books of all time are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and Interview with the Vampire, both of which have breathtaking prose, so I would definitely recommend both! Thank you again for the wonderful video, you've got a new subscriber
Thank you my wonderful friend, I love interview with a vampire and really need to read we were briefly gorgeous, I've heard great things about it. Sending love
love your reading area.. I know what you mean about books about books. Speaking of movies about books what do you think of The 9th gate with Johnyy Depp? love that movie about books.
Hello my friend, I am so excited to go watch 9th gate now, sending love
@@Magus9 cool, let me know what you think of it.
Circe.! I will have a look! Love you magus. Your energy is so strong nowadays! Makes me feel the same. Thanks! We are all connected!
Circe is sooooo good. Love you my friend
Off to immediately buy Circe!
I know you will love it, bless you my friend ❤️
I love the way you talk about books, you are so evidently moved by these stories and I sense so much passion in your voice-that is so rare to see these days. You are a blessing.
Thank you so much for your love and kindness ❤️
You want to read all the books mentioned. This is the best way to have people embark in reading. Very good .
Thank You, Sending Love My Friend
I love the magical way you have of reviewing these wonderful books.. and your coloured tab readings of some of the black words inside of them. ❤🙏
Thank you my wonderful friend. Sending love
Oscar Wilde's fairy tales still make me cry.
Sooooo good, bless you my friend
You will adore The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Yes that is next on my list. Sending love
I checked out The Picture of Dorian Gray today from my local library. It’s a very old copy . Stamped for its first check out in 1973. ❤it’s a perfect cozy day book. Can’t wait to read it.
That sounds like the perfect day, sending love
" I love books about books" yes!
Books about books are the Best ❤️
Ok....Fine, I'll order a copy of Circe.
I love that, make sure to come back and tell me how much you loved it. ❤️
Ready Player One was an amazing book, I was surprised how much better it was than the movie. Question for you... Have you read the sequel and if so what did you think? I have heard mixed reviews.
Hello my wonderful friend, I haven't read the sequel just for that reason I heard bad reviews and didn't want to ruin it. Sending love
@Magus9 Haha probably the best thing to do! I wanted to ask you if you had read my favourite book of all time.. The Count of Monte Cristo?
what a wholesome guy, this is by far the best book review video i've ever seen. love from Africa
Thank you, love you my wonderful friend
I'm so happy I found your channel ❤
I am so happy you are here. Sending Love
Ok. Just downloaded Circe to my Kindle!
Awesome I know you will love it ❤️ sending love my friend
Circe está de pelos!!...fácil lectura y una manera más amena de conocer el mundo griego por medio de su mitología! fascinante! y te sacará más de alguna sonrisa por la pobre Circe con sus allegados que son divinidades menores. Saludos Magus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’ve convinced me to buy Circe! Sounds amazing, thanks for sharing :) - from Australia
That makes me so happy, get ready to fall in love ❤️ bless you my friend
The God of Small Things is an excellent work of craft and experimentation with English language. One just devours it.

Reading Women by Charles Bukowski right now
Im always looking for more recs from male readers, especially so that I can pass book recs down to my husband. Of course he can read ANYTHING, but we don’t have the same taste normally, and the fact that you have not only twilight but the mortal instruments behind you is what caught my eye. While not the best pieces of literary fiction, those are some of my favorite comfort series. Makes me feel like I’ll get well rounded opinions lol.
Thank you my wonderful friend, yes I keep all my comfort reads around me, and Mortal Instruments sooooo good. I hope your husband enjoys my picks. Bless You
The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass is an absolute pleasure. There's craft, imagination and creativity on every page. It makes you wanna be a writer.
"Crime and punishment" is the kind of book that's an experience that lasts a life time. You will live the story and the character. Dostoyvsky is a writer's writer. A god.
Listening to your delight in certain passages reminds me of how I feel about Pat Conroy. Sigh. Thank you again
If you are into fantasy books- check out "The will of the many" by James Islington. Really skilled writer and a great story.
Also- "Gone" series by Michael Grant. Very, very good😊
And if not into fantasy- "Shantaram" by G.D. Roberts- another great writer.
Yes, thank you so much, I will check them out, always so thankful for recommendations. Sending love my friend
