books recs based on your zodiac...but like literary classics

[@saltytomm]

Ah yes, can’t wait to read Montaigne’s deep philosophical pondering in essays such as: “About Thumbs”, “About a Monstrous Child”, “About the Custom of Wearing Clothes”, and, of course, “About Cannibals”. Thanks Emma

[@saltytomm]

Also, Capricorns get The Prince? Those horned whores

[@sarcastic_fish]

the *deepest* of musings, very educational and enlightening about the things that matter

[@sristighosh3446]

I’ve been wanting Montaigne’s Complete Essays for a couple of months now for my birthday on September, and I’m a Virgo. And you mentioned Montaigne’s Essays for Virgos.. this must be a sign from the universe.

[@sarcastic_fish]

It’s a sign for sure, happy early birthday!

[@shaidoingthings2821]

When I tell you I SPRINTED to the comment section hoping everyone was posting their big 3 hehehe... I got The Charthouse of Parma moon, The Prince sun, Keats complete poems!!

[@pretamonge7789]

I've binge watched over 70% of your channel now and we still haven't found your Odyssey

I appreciate you keeping an eye out, but if we've learnt anything it's gunna be a while 😭😭😭

This was such a high quality classics recommendations video. Loved every second of it

[@_megwaters]

Loving the Emma Holy Trinity (minus some Mitford) Justine: Sun, Orlando: Moon, Iliad: Rising. It’s the fact you’ve made me add these all onto my bookshelf before this video has said it all really

[@neonoires]

I really enjoyed these recs. I feel like a lot of recs are easy to predict but I was completely surprised. I'm a Virgo and I never thought of reading Montaigne. I can't wait to pick it up.

[@maheen8869]

no but i literally love that your videos are an eternity long

[@camimvasquez]

My big 3 lol Rising: Orlando Moon: Dangerous Liaisons Sun: Keats poetry I’ve read, and LOVED, Orlando so I’m very excited for these!

[@sophietowner9849]

As a fellow pisces and soon to be a-level english literature student, I will be reading keats poems which I'm so excited for so thank you for the recommendation also :D

[@ulengrau6357]

Omg! I was literally thinking last night "I wonder if someone has ever done a books by zodiac signs but with classics." Yes!

[@kcartsbeat]

Love it! Next, I’d love to see you do recommendations based on a person’s Myers-Briggs type. I’m guessing you are an ENFP. Am I right or am I right?

[@lornatw]

Ooo I'm the INFP !

[@LovelyDay11]

ENFP?! You’re way off track. I believe she once said ENTJ which doesn’t really seem like it to me but hey only she knows herself. But definitely a T type.

[@kcartsbeat]

@@LovelyDay11 I don’t think I’m “way off track.” Of course, only Emma knows what she truly is, but this is my observation based on watching many of her KZbin videos. Perhaps Emma’s most delightful quality is her ability to skip from one book to another, one subject to another, with such ease and agility. That is a hallmark of extraverted intuition, which is an ENFP’s dominant function. Extraverted intuition is an ENTJ’s 6th function. It’s way down there. Emma screams extraverted intuition. It just doesn’t make sense for her to be an ENTJ for that reason alone.

[@kcartsbeat]

@@LovelyDay11 Emma’s interest in fiction as opposed to non-fiction (she has stated many times that she is not interested in history) also strongly suggests that she is an artsy feeler rather than a nuts-and-bolt thinker.

[@AnaMariaGavrilaM]

I guess now I have to read Justine 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, I am someone who liked both The Charterhouse of Parma and The Red and the Black, but I did read them at different times in my life.

[@lauramolina3337]

You have given me hope that I will love both! 😂

[@kay-wx2uw]

[@navyasreekancharla422]

As an Aries I can confirm this. She is spot on😂 I absolutely loved reading The Iliad and The Odyssey.

[@eles.tonanti]

being a Taurus and from Parma makes your pick really special🥺🥺

[@CharlesJosepDelDotto]

As a Capricorn man, I cackled when I saw your comment about having "a fucking problem." Hey, I'm glad to be one of your "absolute favorites," LOL. As for The Prince, I'd switch it out for something by Nietzsche or Dostoevsky. My gut tells me that Dante is appropriate too since The Divine Comedy really is a text about power at a cosmological-metaphysical-theological level (i.e., justice, order, and the structuration of this world and the world to come).

[@sarcastic_fish]

Y’all will be the death of my sanity I swear. Yeeeees Dante is such a good shout, I flip flopped about adding him to the list

[@dohaaymoon4096]

yes self improvement classics please ,,, also my favorite video in your channel is "5 books that changed my life" i would like a part 2 .. also it would be very interesting if you ranked the first line of randomly picked classics of your shelf!!!

it is always the best moment of the video when one of your siblings interrupt the video

sun in montaigne , moon in the charterhouse of parma and sun in the art of rhetoric. hell yeah.

[@jazminbaezcarbone7459]

Yaay Orlando, i feel so blessed

[@rachelwoods2279]

Ahhhhh! also in relation to Orlando, read 'No Modernism without lesbians' Aka a stellar recount of the modernists through the lives of queer women(?)

[@avm7164]

Libra ♎️ Treatise of toleration Cancer ♋️ The sorrows of young werther Scorpio ♏️ Dangerous liaisons Now on my reading list 😊

All those classics, it's a dream to have those collections.

Yes, Yes, Yes Emma!! You got Libra spot on! Thank you so much for this awesome video and yes please do a video on your favorite books. 🤗

[@kyeonglimlee685]

This is soo correct. I'm Pisces and my favorite poet is John Keats OH MY GODD

[@lornatw]

So would you say you're kinda a book channel now? Love you 😂💕 also I guess Hamlet and Hamilton would work for an Aries too just generally :) ☀️Capricorn ⬆️Virgo 🌜either pisces or aquarius (don't know my birth time).

[@dohaaymoon4096]

the longer the video the better i like it

[@anyavanwyk]

Keats for Pisces is spot on!

[@FlyingElectra]

I thought you made a good job for the most part but I laughed out loud when you chose Stendhal’s Charterous of Parma because I had to read it for school and hated it and DNF’ed and I am a Taurus ♉️ but my friend who loves astrology told me the ascendant rising sign is stronger so that’s why I don’t recognize the adjectives you used to portray my sign. But you definitely made me (for a while) read more classics. Montaigne in particular and The Odyssey.

[@Derezzination]

Lol literally have my next ‘bedside table’ read ‘planned’ as Montaigne (praise the Virgo Sun) 😭 and can finally point at the Sade on my shelf in understanding of that Aquarius Moon 🌝

[@aisling8308]

My big 3 are The Iliad (sun), Keats's poetry (moon), and The Sorrows of Young Werther (rising) which feels pretty on brand

[@eileen9898]

Leo sun, pisces moon, aquarius rising, I'm very intrigued by those book recs 😂💃🏻

As a Virgo, I would have gone with Plato’s Republic, purely because it is about the creation of a utopia. We Virgos are highly perfectionist, overly critical, and generally quite selfless. I will be sure to check out Montaigne’s Essays though!

Oh yeah that’s such a good shout!! And do, im sure you’d enjoy them
