ASMR | 10 Books I want to read, but I'm scared 📚

[@wanderingbelle7]

HIGHLY recommend anyone who is struggling to get through LOTR to try the audiobooks narrated by Rob Inglis. He does a phenomenal job and I never would have been able to get through them in print (I struggle to read anything in print although I adore audiobooks). I did end up reading The Silmarillion in print, which took me six months but was 1000% worth it. The first half reads as very biblical in its style of writing, but the second half is much easier and more fun to get through as it focuses on specific characters and their stories.

This is a great shout, I sometimes forget audio is an option but I think the style of Tolkien will really suit narration. Will look out for the Rob Inglis version so thank you!

Hey! Thanks for the video ☺️. I’ve read « A little life » and honestly it’s not obligatory to read it. I used to call it « the cake trauma » because it has many layers of traumatic stuff that never really end. Not everyone enjoys a cake trauma, and the story itself I mostly remember the sad or horrible parts. Like no character or quote really stuck with me, it was more like « yeah everything is worse than I thought ». I love, love, love Lolita and on the contrary I feel like it’d be a great read. Because Nabokov writes SO well (the best writing ever really), and despite what many people think it’s anti-pedophilia. Basically it’s written for you to get inside Humbert Humbert’s head and hate him. And it works! A truly disgusting man. And it also touches upon double standards and victim blaming, which as a society we rarely talk about! Sorry for the ramble

Haha no I love a good book ramble, really great to hear your thoughts! Makes me feel much better about picking up Lolita, sounds like it will be a very worthwhile and interesting read. And cake trauma is a brilliant phrase 😂

Love your video! I'm currently reading Vanity Fair and LOVE it so far. But it's thick, and I don't have much time lately. Gonna take me a while!

[@Books_TinglesASMR]

Thank you so much😊 I haven't ever read Vanity Fair but it's definitely one on my radar, so glad to hear you are enjoying it despite the length! I guess you just have to take it one chapter at a time and enjoy the journey 📚

Silmarillion is actually my fave! And quite fun. Though I audio’d it so I could jog and whatnot while listening.

[@Books_TinglesASMR]

Audio could be a great shout for this one, imagine the narrators will do a much better job with any of the lyrical parts than I would! Might pass on the jogging though 😅
