    Love your take on Carley's favorite books and the editing * chef's kiss *. I'm a fan of Carley's personality and her content. I've read two books from her favorite author (Sally Rooney) and realized that we're also not literature compatible 😅 (and that's ok). Looking forward to seeing more content from you!

    FINALLY A REAL REVIEW OF EXCITING TIMES! I also gave it two stars, as an Asian it’s so annoying already how white people just use Asia as a place to rethink your life and everything. I love the dark humour and I get the mental health theme but I mean why not make the location central Europe or something where a lot of TEFL teachers are! The book is just so white haha

    • @BethEades
      @BethEades 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok I know this comment is super old but I think she was living in Hong Kong when she wrote it? Doesn’t deal with it being perhaps an icky choice and part of a broader racist pattern in how we represent Asia in the West but I guess she knew it better than other TEFL places (I also did not like this book 😂)

  • @SB-oy9if
    @SB-oy9if 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I loved this! Carley is one of my favorites, but I picked up one of her favorites-Normal People-and absolutely despised it. That being said, EVERYONE seems to love Rooney, so maybe I'm the problem! I do need to give more of her faves a chance, of course, because I love her. Again, great video, I subbed!

    It really says something about how much I love your channel that I genuinely enjoyed a video with some of the worst books I've ever read (I DESPISE Murakami's and Rooney's books so much and really hated Exciting Times)! When a booktuber is like "oh I'm a Sally Rooney girly" I usually move my mouse closer to the "unsubscribe" button lol
    Really happy that's not the case for you ahah

    Norwegian Wood isn’t really a good book to start with Murakami. Maybe Kafka on the Shore or Hardboiled Wonderland or A wild sheep chase. But if you think the sex stuff was weird in Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the shore might be pushing it lol.

    • @allisonpaiges
      @allisonpaiges  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      i’ve read from him before! “after dark” about a year ago ☺️ thanks for the recs 🌼

    • @plexus
      @plexus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@allisonpaiges yeah, Murakami basically has 2 styles of books, more vanilla postmodern fiction , which is what Norwegian Wood is, and his super surrealist magical realism work, which all those books I mention fall into.
      After Dark was fun. I liked the “takes place in one night” aspect of it. This one has a taste of his kind of surrealist leanings in the whole sleeping beauty sister’s liminal dream limbo half of the book, but if you really wanna know what made Murakami so huge across the globe, you definitely wanna try one of his crazy books. Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is fantastic but its the densest and I’d say the least accessible of these books. For my final recommendation I’d say read Hardboiled Wonderland if you want a fun trippy adventure that’s as weird as it gets, and read Kafka on the shore if you really wanna jump into the deep end with a pretty dark, depressing, sexually fucked up, weirdo odyssey. But it does have I character who can talk to cats and colonel sanders and Johnny walker make an appearance, so that’s fun. Lol.
