Thank you for sharing your frank opinion about books and making such a decent tier list, hope you have a felicitous intellectual or literary journey ahead!
Putting Harry Potter over Metamorphosis is insane actually
In The Secret History, I can't lie though they are pretentious they're loveable, I'd say the characters helped to make it my favourite book
Dude your tier rankings are brat as hell before brat existed
I didn't like the kite runner. I am surprised how many people enjoy it.
You should maybe read Chinese classic novels. My favorite is "Jin Ping Mei"(the Golden Lotus). I don't know if there is a complete English translation, I read a complete translation in French. There are also "The Water Margin", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Journey to the West" and more.
A modern Japanese novel to read is "The Sea of Fertility" by Yukio Mishima. That is my favorite modern novel.
You ranked crime and punishment in second teir and now youre ranking kite runner in the top ? Also do you literally think the kite runner is better than the metamorphosis!?
Last video was at least honest , in this one youre blatantly trying to make everyone happy
isn't Don Quixote a classic?
Where's The Count of Monte-Cristo? Or any other Alexandre Dumas book?
Thanks for the recommendations 👍
I’ve been wanting to grow my tbr pile with some classics thrown in 🙏
Damn. Did not expect Colson Whitehead to catch strays in this vid.
Recommend: A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. Cannery Row by John Steinbeck and along with Tortilla Flat. Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood.
The Art of War is not only for war but for developing yourself and relationships with people around you. My favorite part is about knowing when to retreat, not giving up, just stepping back to understand the situation. This book is meant for spiritual development.
Kurt Vonnegut wrote some great books. Slaughter House Five is based on his experience in WW II. How about some Umberto Eco.
Holy shit he got filtered on some absolutely goated books, it seems he only truly enjoys quirky dramas
Maybe Harry Potter is readable for kids, but it is so badly written, no way it gets stars from me. “Cloth bound classic at best”.
OTOH, I see Evelyn Waugh and I reach for my big bag of gold stars. Good work there.
Would love to see you rate something like Wise Blood, by Flannery O’Connor
Harry Potter is excellent young adult fiction and is a fun retelling of the Western hero myth through teen fantasy. However, they can't be in the same catalog as Jane Austin, Kafka, Dickens, and Hemingway. It's the same with Hunger Games—Michael Jordan vs. your local Middle schooler one vs. one. I also would like to see more international writers. Was Tolstoy on any of your lists? I don't mean to sound like the snobby, "they are not quite our sort of old chap" at the country club guy, but come on, Hunger Games is in the same category as Kafka's arguably best work—press F to pay respects.
Well, you did put Moby-Dick in the wrong row in the other video. It should have been higher. Otherwise I think you have many valid rankings, and people can have their own opinions. Since I haven't read many of these I'm interested
Metamorphosis is overrated.
Where is 100 years of solitude??
Could you do a third part of these kind of video, please? Thanks!
Somebody once told me The World Is gonna roll me I need the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kind of done with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an l on her forehead never going to give you up never gonna let you down I'm going to run around for dessert you
Interesting to have Vile Bodies as a part of the canon before Brideshead
Interesting to have Vile Bodies as a part of the canon before Brideshead
I’m of the opinion that Technoblade is the reason that The Art of War is so popular today.
