Thank you for ushering me to the world of literature.

Three of these I have already read, so two more to go. Thanks for the recommendations, I like a short and sharp novel.

[@JuanReads]

Glad you like them!

Great advice, novellas are a wonderful way to get back into reading, or get a taste of a new author. Love your list - especially the Yellow Wallpaper! I’ve just posted my first KZbin video about The Woman in Black, a similarly chilling short tale. Do take a look if you have a spare few minutes. Anyway, you have my subscription, great work :)

Great suggestions. I always appreciate your thoughtful recommendations. As a reader, it helps that they are not only based solely on popularity and stylistic form but also inform or challenge the reader about the human condition. And this "human condition" can be more extensive than an anglo-western one-women, BIPOC, and colonies abound and are seminal to the machinations of the actual and imagined literary world builders.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you find my suggestions thoughtful and that they offer a diverse range of perspectives on the human condition. Representation and inclusivity in literature is important, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind in my future recommendations.

¡Felicidades, Juan! I appreciate this list. I was going to ask about including Garcia Marquez's Relato de un náufrago, but noticed that Wikipedia considers it non-fiction!

[@JuanReads]

Thanks, Alba! I haven't read Relato de un náufrago. I'll see if I check it out.

Always happy to see you upload and give your insights on literature. Thank you for what you bring to us readers!

[@JuanReads]

I'm so glad!

I'm glad to say I've actually read all these, except for The Old Man and the Sea. Great picks! I even wrote a paper in college on Heart of Darkness. That's a prime example of big things, small packages. :)

[@JuanReads]

I only read The Old Man and the Sea for the first time earlier this week in preparation for this video. I thoroughly recommend it!

[@frankmorlock9134]

Congratulations on more good work, Juan. I've read three of the books, but not the Hemingway or the Tolstoi. I do wish you would include a play or two from time to time. Hardly anyone on Booktube discusses plays except for Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde.

[@JuanReads]

Great suggestion! I don't read as many plays as I used to, but I think it's a great idea to discuss different genres. Thanks, Frank!

The Reader by Bernhard can be read in a few hours.

[@JuanReads]

That's true! The Read by Bernhard Schlink is longer than the five novels I discuss in this video, but some readers might be able to read it in a day.

Adorei o vídeo. Beijinhos 😘😘❤
