Nooooo Oxford world classics - I am such a penguin classics girl; their footnotes/endnotes for ancient and medieval texts tend to be much better than the Oxford World Classics. But! For 17th/18th century stuff, I am behind you on OWC. Anyway. Love a book haul. Love hearing about your course. Love you xxx

[@sarcastic_fish]

actually now u mention it that's kinda how my centuries have been split edition wise too!! my classics are all penguin classic (as are most of my 19th c things) and then 17/18th c are OWC and then my vintage ones are 20th c and then all my random editions are more 21st C.... i love this (also luv u miss u)

[@clairel1350]

I’m so glad it’s not just me that has these thoughts

[@JJO54]

I am more your mums age and realise I too have created 3 of my own book monsters (also known as my children) ! As I can’t say no if they want a book .... my son is at uni studying politics (large reading list), daughter has an obsession with beautiful copies of books and my youngest also loves to read ... it is starting to get expensive ! :)

[@JulEnglefaris]

That's awesome that you've fostered such a love of books in them! You're a good mom 😊

[@madi5170]

Your book videos are so different! They’re kind of.. rambly, but in a very good way! It’s so endearing to see someone so excited about a certain subject. Even though I don’t know about the enlightenment and classicism, this video was so entertaining and fun to watch. 💖

[@natalieschannel8733]

Who else loves to read books🙋🏼‍♀️

[@sarcastic_fish]

me me me 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@the-law5065]

no books, novels

[@ABRAHAM4EVER]

Me ive been crazy from childhood collecting books makes me more happier than anything i know

[@ABRAHAM4EVER]

@@sarcastic_fish Amazon loves you for buying books from them

[@ABRAHAM4EVER]

@@sarcastic_fish do you like the smell of new books ?

[@irewande4796]

Your books are amazing. Maybe do a penguin classics haul☺️☺️😇

[@sarcastic_fish]

omg I would feel like I’m cheating on Oxford world classics but ooo love the idea

[@shaylamichel4037]

I love hearing you talk about these books! I am a Comparative Lit student as well, and I can totally relate!

[@racheldemain1940]

I didn't even know Comp Lit was a thing. Only done English Literature.

[@nicoleperry1923]

Watching this while knowing how much you now like Sade is hilarious lol

[@danielapiovesan3791]

As a Brazilian, my heart swelled when you said "topics in Afro Brazilian culture"!! So I would like to recommend Captains of the Sand by Jorge Amado, but I assume that was included in the module... Anyhow it's great!

[@laurawhite6844]

I think the way other lit courses get around the fact everything is connected is by incorporating modules that aren't 100% lit based into their degree programme. For example, I do a 'pure' English Lit degree, but one of my first year modules was Classical and Biblical Lit which helps you understand how later texts draw on the classical and Biblical cannon.

[@kareraaoki8584]

I never liked my major in university, but one day I discovered your channel and the study of Comparative Literature. Comp Lit has been such an enlightening experience and I cannot wait to continue my degree in it. I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for inspiring me to change my major because it is probably one of the best decisions I have made. I love seeing your videos and how you talk about books! :D

[@DyslexicMitochondria]

Dunno why this was recommended to me, but i'm glad it was. Geez british accent is so calming!

[@sarcastic_fish]

A* username, love it

[@DyslexicMitochondria]

@@sarcastic_fish well i'm so damn lazy, i thought my mitochondria might be dyslexic.

[@luciefrance7545]

Ahh book videooooo (books are the best - always there for you, but I’ve noticed that they’re increasing in price 🤔)

[@sarcastic_fish]

are they??? 2nd hand here i come

[@sophiemjstratmann.soprano]

Have you heard / do you know about Philippa Gregory's (I think) dissertation subject? It was something about how the trope of marriage based on love in literature changed the actual attitude of society towards marriage... I heard her talk about it in an interview and was blown away, cuz I'd never before thought about that :)

[@JulEnglefaris]

That sounds SO damn interesting. I'm gonna try to find it online

[@E-O-iz3yu]

I'm a first-year Comparative Lit student and I've yet to truly understand what comparative literature actually is. I thought, as a final resort, to look it up on youtube lmao and your videos popped up, guess I'll procrastinate for a bit

[@alisak3401]

Girl, I'm literally deep into Dom Juan right now for my French literature course (Centre and Periphery)! We had to get the GF:Flammarion edition though (all French) which makes the reading a lot slower. I also love how you pronounced Dom Juan the Spanish way - doing it in a French class requires us all to say it in the pochest Parisian accent ever :D Sounds weird, but would you mind sharing a bit of the secondary reading recommend in your version (as I don't have access to that)? Enjoy the reading and the last term of your degree!!

[@laura0104]

Am I the only one who paused the video to read the book she showed? I am traumatized, lol! It's true, don't read it 😂😂😂😂

[@dangerousateveryspeed]

these are my favourite videos from you!

[@sarcastic_fish]

thank you!

[@elizachin6934]

I CAME AS SOONN AS I HEARD AHH YAS MORE BOOK VIDEOS

[@sarcastic_fish]

WOO YAS HOPE U LIKED THE BOOKS

[@corajohnston22]

I love Moliere! Look forward to seeing what you think

[@sarcastic_fish]

i hope i do too! part of me is assuming i won't for some reason tho oops

[@chaoticidiottt]

I see what you mean by easy to read and I also love classic specially the ones written from 18th century don't know why I'm fascinated by Victorian England even tho I'm from Asia

[@dokidoki719]

Colonialism is why.

[@smoothielover07]

Yes! Thoroughly enjoying these bookish videos :D :D Thank you for making our dreams come true, Emma (; hehe

[@sarcastic_fish]

aw yay y’all lil nerds and I am too so it’s just a great fit

[@zoeb3679]

it's so interesting seeing you not knowing Corneille, not really knowing La Rochefoucauld from a French student point of view! I'd be really interested comparing high school literary home-works from France and England.. For example, here everybody knows some literature classics and plays, and even some names...

[@JulEnglefaris]

Sometimes I unconsciously tune out of what she's saying cuz I'm just enjoying the glorious accent

[@danni.phantom8184]

Emma:"...that all goes pear shaped...more like guillotine shaped..." Me: *Chokes on water* 😂

[@melmartin4925]

Emma: "At least we're not reading 100 Days of Sodom." Me: *willingly reads 100 Days of Sodom* *cries out of shame* Such a great book haul xx

[@sarcastic_fish]

(Ended up reading Juliette, the older, libertine sister of Justine who’s book is 1,000 pages long 😅😅😅)

[@ericjuliusley2844]

Please make a book recommendation about Comparative Literature books

[@danchrotchet8662]

Hey Emma just wondering if you have read something by Nietzsche or Dostoyevsky, If yes what did you like about them?

[@alisak3401]

Hi, I'm not Emma, but I liked 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' :) Wouldn't recommend 'Beyond Good and Evil', it's a dreadful text to read.

[@sarcastic_fish]

i read Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground but a really long time ago and have owned crime and punishment for ages but i've never read it oops

[@coralievaine7654]

You could do the classical reception masters at KCL?

[@marik2145]

Hi Emma, new lit student here :) You mentioned Latin.. do you think it is worth to learn it at uni giving the opportunity? Even if I won't be taking any classics courses.. Thanks!

[@trainerd1]

I find this problematic. A devoted litterateur who is stunningly beautiful. The universe may finally be aligning. Something must go askew. Your verve is wonderful.

[@nurailidepaepe2783]

Yay books!

i love your personality

[@emiliekocer5039]

Heyy where is your top from? So pretty!

[@sarcastic_fish]

Ooooo it’s from Brandy Melville fairly recently they should still have it!!

[@emiliekocer5039]

Emma Angeline Thank you!! 🙈❤️

[@carbonc6065]

UGH!

[@JulEnglefaris]

de Sade. OooOoOo boy.

[@saraalm3034]

ur so beautiful !!

[@JulEnglefaris]

That concept on god is interesting and you could apply that loads of concepts, like global warming. (Although global warming has heaps of physical data and evidence and god has... literally none).

[@sarcastic_fish]

that’s actually so valid, like even if there wasn’t climate change would it be a bad thing to recycle more and be more conservative with energy and more self sufficient? No? Then what’s the problem 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chrisgonzalez91]

haha you’re so cute keep making good videos!
