February 2024 Reading Update

[@johnpryor2063]

Dearest lady, it's great to test your comfort zone, but don't think we ever want you to stress yourself out. I personally love just wandering down paths I would never have gone, in your artistic company. You have always given me new insights, even into my old favorites. Thank you!

[@russellfarina9099]

Beautifully put.

[@williamblakehall5566]

Never worry about us, Rome, read what you will, and owl be seeing you.

[@russellfarina9099]

I'm glad you shared what I consider very intimate thoughts and feelings with your audience. Your videos never let me down. I admire you and hold your opinions in high esteem. Looking forward to your next installment. Jw is the best!!

[@Weiselberry]

Aw, thanks!

[@oaktreeman4369]

Here's a couple of books I've read and enjoyed. Both of them are quite short. "The Girl Who Played Go" by Shan Sa. A 16 year old girl who is exceptionally good at the game of go, gets into a relationship with a mysterious young man, who may not be all he seems. "The Library of Unrequited Love" by Sophie Divry. A 40 year old woman works in the geography section of a library, which is down in the basement. When she turns up for work one morning she discovers that man has been trapped there overnight. All of her frustrations with life erupt in a single, endless rant, which takes up the whole of the rest of the book. Perversely funny.

[@jetgoldranger]

For what it's worth, I really like your "What I've Read" type videos," but if they don't make you happy, I'd totally understand if you either cut back, or stopped doing them altogether. I'm sure all of us who love your channel would understand. Also, thanks for the Dark Harvest review. I'm, aware of Will Jordan through his "Critical Drinker" KZbin channel and was curious about his books. I had some notions as to what they were like, and your observations seemed to reinforce them. I think we're both of the same mind, this particular literary genre translates a lot better into movies than books, at least for me. Keep up the good work.👏👏👏👏

[@Weiselberry]

I was curious about his fiction too, but I didn't want to jump into a series, so I was glad when he came out with a stand-alone. Officially I can't say how it compares to his other books, but it's probably a good representation of his writing style.

[@DanKyrke]

Always look forward to a JW review every weekend, no matter whether it's movies, books, or a TV series. Thanks for what you do.

[@paulwhiston1836]

There's an itv drama adaptation of goodnight Mr Tom starring John thaw of inspector morse fame. I also hardly read these days, got a ton of books on the pile but never seem to get into the right headspace these days

[@Captain327]

An interesting thing to note is that the place on the cover of 'A Memory Between Us' looks like Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset - a steep street that was made famous by a 1970s TV ad for Hovis bread which was directed by Ridley Scott.

[@kaylanash3588]

I love that you are still doing book reviews, even if they are not your favorite reviews to do. I and other members of your audience greatly appreciate them. Inspired by Hallmark's Jane Austen themed movies this month, I'm finally gearing up to read Pride and Prejudice. However, I am doing an in-depth study on the book first, so I will have a better understanding of the characters and time period. I just finished reading Celebrating Pride and Prejudice, 200 years of Jane Austen's Masterpiece by Samantha Fullerton. I'm now reading Jane Austen's World, The life and times of England's most popular author by Maggie Lane. Once I'm finished with that, I'll finally be ready to read Pride and Prejudice. Besides that, I have also completed reading five cozy mysteries and 2 romance novels this year.

[@Weiselberry]

Wow! That's so exciting to be reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time. I hope after all this build-up you won't find it disappointing! I'm fairly confident you won't, though. You wondered about any books I may have gotten for Christmas, and it just so happens I received a pretty boxed set of Jane Austen's six completed novels. Before, I only had Pride and Prejudice and Emma, so if I wanted to reread one of her other books, I had to borrow it or read it online. Now I can reread any of them whenever I want... and they're nice to look at. :)

[@ronfowlermusic]

It's okay, just read what you want to read, share what you want to share.

[@yyyfffff33333]

Well said . I think KZbin could be part of the problem . You see so many KZbinrs desperate to come up with ideas for videos . They feel they must churn out something on a regular basis !

[@Weiselberry]

Yes, the rise of "Booktube", which has now been surpassed by "Booktok", has really altered what and how some people read. It's not all bad... but some of it is.

[@yyyfffff33333]

This way madness lies . A bit like social media . A lot of KZbinrs like yourself are very relaxing and entertaining . The rest are best avoided .

[@Ned_of_the_Hill]

Ms. Weiselberry, Glad to see you get back to reading for fun! Recently I've read: "Promise of the Wolves" (Wolf Chronicles #1) by Dorothy Hearst. Fantasy novel from the wolf's perspective. "Hollywood's Censor: Joseph I. Breen and the Production Code Administration" by Thomas Doherty. Have you ever read any of the Judge Dee novels by Robert van Gulik? They are mysteries set in 7th Century China.

[@Weiselberry]

Thanks for sharing your recent reads! No, I've never heard of that series.

[@alandhopewell]

Hello, Sister Jerome! I love reading, but for some reason, it's become difficult for me; it's not my eyesight, but possibly spending so much time looking at a screen. I miss reading. I have books that I haven't read, others that I haven't reread; even my daily Bible reading is on my phone screen. The last book that I read all the way through was a book on Christian reconciliation, THE RELUCTANT PEACEMAKER, written by a former classmate, and that was nearly three years ago. I miss opening up a book, and seeing the screen in my head light up as the words are consumed. Thank you for brightening my evening.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Great video, JW...👍

[@BossNerd]

You have probably read these but your reading of Nightfall leads me to think you might like some of Robert Heinlein's early work in juvenile fiction. Maybe the "Rolling Stones" or "Have Spacesuit Will Travel". They are fun and in my opinion Heinlein's best work. His later work is thought provoking but not nearly as fun to read.

[@Weiselberry]

I think I've only read a couple of Heinlein's short stories. I've had Rolling Stones on a list for a few years (someone recommended it: was it you??) but I haven't gotten to it yet. Ha, what you say about Heinlein's early vs. later work coincides with what I've heard from other people.

[@postercereal3654]

Thanks for the reviews, JW. Here's to the love of reading! I've just started The Bear (not the recent TV series), originally published as The Grizzly King by James Oliver Curwood, adapted as the movie The Bear in 1988.

[@mikesilva3868]

Dr. McCoy: Got any more good ideas, Jim? Capt. Kirk: Yes, I have. One more and it depends on the lieutenant's loyalty. If she fails us, we better get used to herding goats. 😊

[@ignyup]

Read what you like, when you li8ke it, maybe we will find new book ourselves

[@drewlotzmoore]

Great video. Book reviews are a nice break from film talk. All of your stuff is quality content. Looking forward to your reviews on the Honda movies.

[@susanmctavish6639]

Miss reading more myself but we're all having reading slumps I think because of the internet and our increasingly short attention spans lol.

[@jamescarbonaro596]

JW you could read us the "Daily News" and you would still be interesting; your fans love you just the way you are...Do what makes you feel good and happy!

[@Weiselberry]

Haha, I don't know about that! But thank you. :)

[@nadinaventura]

Oh, A Memory Between Us sounds like something I'd really like to read! As for my own readings, I have been pleasantly surprised by E.V. Lucas' Verena in the Midst and Advisory Ben (both I found on Project Gutemberg). The first one is an epistolary novel, set right after the end of WWII. Verena, a woman in her forties, owner and manager of a small estate in England, has a fall, injures her spine, and has a long recovery ahead. Her family and friends start writing to her more regularly, and that correspondence makes up the story. It's a slice of life with a little plot, pleasant and easy to read through. Advisory Ben is set a little later in the 20s. Benedita, a young woman in her 20s, sees the opportunity for more independence when her father remarries, and is inspired to open an agency where she helps people solve problems and find what they are looking for. Her business is on top of a second hand bookstore, managed by a young man of fortune and one of his friends, a man who lost a leg in WWI. I liked this one even better than Verena in the Midst. The plot is tighter, and the cases we meet through Ben's work are interesting, plus she herself is a very interesting character.

[@Weiselberry]

Ooh, those both sound intriguing!

[@petersvillage7447]

Goodnight Mr Tom was adapted for British television in the late 1990s starring John Thaw and Anabelle Apsion, and that's well worth a watch. In the UK the book is considered a children's novel but for the reasons to which you allude, the TV adaptation was first broadcast mid-evening. The drama's simple finale (the same as the book) has caused many a grown adult to shed a tear over the years...

[@supergran1000]

The adaptation of Goodnight Mister Tom is an absolute gem. John Thaw was excellent, as was the young boy who played William.

[@michaelrae297]

Goodnight Mister Tom was made into a film (1998) staring John Thaw

[@Weiselberry]

Oh yeah? Was it geared toward children, or was it more for adults?

[@michaelrae297]

@@Weiselberry It was broadcast on TV as a film for all the family. 'Watched it together with my ten-year-old nephew. We loved it! It won the National Television Award for Best Film and John Thaw won Best Actor Award.

[@handfuloftrains4781]

Thanks Jerome for your book reviews. I do enjoy them. I read a great deal myself (it probably helps that I don't own a cell phone or a TV.) But I don't often look for new books to discover. I tend to revisit my old favorites time and again. Two new books I've read recently: "The Major and The Missionary" - a collection of letters between Warren Lewis (brother of C. S.) and Blanche Biggs, and "Tolkien's Faith" - an in-depth study of JRR Tolkien's Catholic faith. Being a glutton for punishment, I've also started writing a new book, my third. The first was a slim collection of whimsical short stories, written when I was in my twenties and too young to be a good writer. The second was a memoir written after I turned fifty - a combination of boyhood memories and my current struggle to accept the passing of time and the changes it brings. This third one will be another memoir, this time tackling the difficult subject of afffairs of the heart and what it's like to go through life alone. Should be a barrel of laughs.

[@Weiselberry]

Ah, it must be nice sometimes to not have a cellphone or a tv! Just think of all the hours you don't waste on them. No wonder you're able to tackle the writing of a third book. I couldn't help chuckling at your self-deprecation, despite the apparent solemnity of your subject matter. I hope you find putting your thoughts on paper a cathartic process rather than a wearying one.

[@PaintDryPictures]

Hey, Jerome. Since you’re a fan of the sci-fi genre, whether it’s movies or books, would you ever want to write your own sci-fi story one day?

[@Weiselberry]

Haha, probably not. I've spent a little time wondering what kind of story I'd go for if I dabbled in science-fiction. It would probably be a tense or scary alien invasion scenario. But I'd much rather read someone else's sci-fi than struggle to write my own.

[@TheGoodTheBadandTheCheezy]

I love hearing that reading hasn't become a lost art. I read fifty pages a day except Friday. Usually before I go to bed. I have a blog that reviews books but never let that determine what I read. You should always read what you want otherwise it just isn't enjoyable.

[@Weiselberry]

Fifty pages a day is a good goal. It may be harder to reach in a dense work, but it's pretty attainable in an average novel. And any time you surpass fifty pages, you get to feel an extra sense of accomplishment!

[@tonydeluna8095]

Hey Jerome! It is great to see how much reading you have done over the past month. Keep at it. Maybe someday you can become a writer and publisher

[@Weiselberry]

More like past three months, but yes, I seem to be back on the horse! Ha, I'm not the least bit interested in writing novels or getting published myself, but more power to those who are.

[@winterburden]

Thanks for this update!

[@earthcreature5824]

Your opening thoughts remind me of something you once said about being thankful for not being forced to study Jane Eyre in high school.You don't want your love of reading to become homework.Possibly ? My sister purchased a second hand kindle.The former owner had accumulated about 10 books. 2 of them I read.You know of them.A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.A Weiselberry recommends. Great video on that fellow commentors.Took my time getting through it.I am not a fast reader. Sad but moving conclusion.Complicated plot but very rewarding.Also.Lady Susan a novella by Jane Austen. Felt a bit like a long short story but very pleasing.Austen has a Wicked Witch of the West level of wit. Had me cackling at times.The Lady Susan is a character right out of a 1940's film noir.Thank you and yes, I do think that action is better seen on the screen.

[@Ally_Whitlock]

I felt the same way about Dark Harvest. Good book but it would’ve worked better as a film

[@jamesdenofantiquity]

I totally understand about reading challenges, as someone whose profession is based on reading it is hard to then pivot to reading for pleasure since you are still in analysis mode. I have though wanted and to do so, I break it down to a chapter an evening so I can get through but not feel the pressure to finish rapidly. I might suggest a great sci-fi book entitled Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clark. I am working my way through on audible and I am really getting a kick out it. Also, when I was growing up a bit before JP I also had my own dinosaur dig experience. I dug a hole in the front yard and it led to my only time growing up that I remember my mother expressing a less than household word about digging in the front yard. She was all for the backyard.

[@Weiselberry]

Haha, my mom wasn't too crazy about me scratching around in the dirt in our yard either. :) I've had Rendezvous with Rama on my list for quite a few years now. Thanks for giving it an endorsement!

[@vdelrio999]

I know what you mean about reading and interruptive ideas. I helped found Seinfeld Wrestleposting and post inSeinfeld Reality Tour (FB meme groups) and struggle to make it through the day without stopping chores bc an idea pops up and or to make memes. Anyway. I last read The Power (Robinson). Not too bad. Always a great time catching your YT videos. Cute thumbnail!

[@bruceanderson5525]

Please don't laugh but I have found great enjoyment through reading the Marilyn Ross Dark Shadows series that appeared in the late 60's and early 70's. If you were a fan of the show they are thrilling and frightening and a great just before bed read. Couple one of these with a cup of tea and a few biscuits and you're ready for dreamland on a somewhat darker slant.

[@anthonytripp2251]

Do you have a favorite Nero Wolfe of screen or TV? I like a movie "The Fat Man" directed by William Castle, the character is Nero Wolfe in all but name.

[@Weiselberry]

No, I've never sat down and watched any adaptations start to finish. I've always heard positive things about the A&E show from the early 2000s, but I guess I just prefer reading the books.

[@anthonytripp2251]

@@Weiselberry You might like The Fat Man. It's a bit American Noir. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

I for one always look forward to watching whatever video you make and share with us and as much as I like your book reviews I wouldn’t be disappointed if you made less of them or stopped making them altogether as long as you were happy, I’ve been a viewer long enough to know that you wouldn’t be able to help yourself from sharing your thoughts on a book if it meant a lot to you, connected with you and you were passionate about it but finding new books that have that effect can be hard, reading has always meant a lot to you and if the added pressure of needing to make videos and look at them extremely analytically diminishes your enjoyment then wanting to review books less often would be very understandable, holding onto what eases you and find enjoyment in is important. I’ve on occasion also worried that reviewing so many films would have a similar effect. I hope you’re happy, just in general I hope you’re happy :) There’s some titles you’ve discussed here that I’d really like to check out, The Matchmaker’s Lonely Heart sounds like a story I’d really enjoy and I like the cover, it’s like a page from an old 1800s Sears catalogue. I’m also very interested in reading A Memory Between Us. I have read Nightfall, “What If” and What is This Thing Called Love and I liked them all, What is This Thing Called Love was very funny. Visiting Goodreads to help decide which stories might be worth missing is genius, I never would’ve thought about doing that. The Red Box is a Nero Wolfe book I haven’t read so hopefully I’ll get there at some point. The story you mentioned about digging for Dinosaur bones in your backyard while discussing The Dinosaur Lady was funny lol. I had to dig for them on the beach or in friends gardens because there was a story about a horse my dad owned being buried on our property, back probably but didn’t dig in the front either in case :0 There’s a made for TV version of Goodnight, Mr Tom from ITV and there was a musical I believe, I looked and they’re on KZbin. All the books you’ve mentioned would be worth a read. I’ve been in a reading slump also for two or three months, I guess it’s understandable because of the situation with my uncle but even before that I found myself struggling, I don’t read anywhere near the number of books that you read in a year and even I’ve struggled so when such an avid reader like you hits a slump it must feel very alien to you, it’s understandable though with so much distractions to contend with. finding it difficult to read while your mum watches TV is relatable, I grew up reading with the TV on in the background as well as other distractions but now I find myself having to turn the TV off and keep devices away from me because It’s been tough to stay focused, a couple of months ago I began to read Princess of the Blood : A Tapestry of Love and War in sixteenth-Century France by Brigitte Goldstein and I’m still only a few chapters into it because I’ve become so easily distracted, I committed fully to the book again o couple of weeks ago and put the TV on silent but mistakenly left a channel on that began airing the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice again so I lost the battle, after it was over I went back to the book but then became distracted by an antique show of all things, Me : “I believe that other 18th century teapot would be a wiser purchase!” Me again soon after : “ What am I talking about? do I really care about this lady buying a teapot? Antiques? really? I need to turn the TV off and get back to the book lol” My uncles condition worsened and I put the book away but hopefully the motivation to read it will return soon, i was enjoying the book though from the little I had read. I saw the book while walking around one of my favourite bookshops at a time I was anticipating the release of the new Musketeers film so thought It might be nice to visit the era before seeing the film but countless distractions have derailed me. Before my struggles with Princess of the Blood I had read Defiant : The Untold Story of the Battle of Britain by Robert Verkaik a book I liked and it had a lot of technical details, I also read “Evidence Not Seen” and “I Am the Cheese” a few months ago and liked them both a lot and owe you a thank you for each. I also bought a copy of The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare a few months ago and have been reading passages from that here and there, it’s the same edition that Captain Picard had on show in his ready room and I understand why he kept it on a stand in a case and didn’t keep it on his lap because yikes! It’s not an elegant thing to read, it’s a table or armrest book, when you put it down there’s a clank. I bought a copy of Masters of the Air by Donald M. Miller and read a little but because things have been hectic I decided to wait a while to finish it, I’ll dive in completely after the series ends, I should’ve read it in it’s entirety first but my anticipation for the series got the best of me. I like to read when I feel very relaxed and at ease and it’s felt like a while since I’ve truly been relaxed or at ease. It’s even been a struggle to motivate myself to watch much lately so I’m so grateful for your film reviews and recommendations because watching those films and your videos has been one of the few things that’s made me feel relaxed and has quietened my overthinking mind. The passing of my uncle has also meant losing the last link to the area my dad grew up, my grandparents had passed already when I was younger and another uncle that lived in the village passed a couple of years ago, I have another aunt and uncle from that side of the family living in England so my grandparents house will be put up for auction, it’s beautiful, lovely Mountain views and rolling hills with a tree on the land that looks like it’s straight out of a Tim Burton film, there a lake nearby too, I loved visiting there as a child, perhaps I’ll take time and spend a few days there to say goodbye. I still leave comments that are way too long :( Thank you for another terrific selection of reviews. ~ Thank you Ms Weiselberry ~

[@Weiselberry]

Thanks for taking the time to write out all of that! Yes, I did read the whole thing. :) I think you hit on something there. Early on, I only reviewed a book when it was really special and/or I had lots to say about it. At some point, I veered away from that, maybe because, as you say, "finding new books that have that effect can be hard." It seems an awfully long time since I reviewed a book just because I felt inspired to. There are books I've been excited to talk about recently, namely Doomsday Book and Evidence Not Seen (so glad you read it!), but I chose to sandwich those discussions between other mini reviews. I don't know, Three Men in a Boat might have been my last truly spontaneous solo book review. That was in 2020! Spot on about the cover of The Matchmaker's Lonely Heart! My mom likes vintage ads and things like that, and she found it quite fetching. Oh my goodness! Can you imagine if you didn't know about the horse buried in the yard and you accidentally dug it up? D: Nightmares for days... It's perfectly understandable that you've had a tough time staying focused on books in recent months. Real life, family, and responsibilities should always take precedence. You've had a lot on your mind. Reading wasn't the relaxing escape it usually is, and that's okay. Your grandparents' house sounds lovely. If you're willing and able, you should definitely spend a little extra time there before it changes hands. When we were cleaning out and selling my grandparents' houses years ago, I spent as much time as I could walking around and soaking it all in. I went through each room many times, not just checking for anything we'd overlooked, but trying to store every detail in my mind. Perhaps something like that would be good for you. Also, although my dad's siblings are spread out, they like to meet up each year to drive past the old house, visit my grandparents' graves, and get lunch at their favorite pizza place in town. I don't know how far this village is from where you live, but in the future you might consider doing a similar thing, paying it a little visit every year or two. But only if you wanted to. :)

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

@@Weiselberry I just looked at my comment again and Oh boy! I apologise for putting you through all that lol, it was all over the place and you are so kind to read the whole thing :) I love your suggestions in regards to spending time at my grandparents house and soaking in every detail before it’s sold and making an effort to visit there as a family when possible, I think it’s a very good idea. it’s wonderful that your dads siblings meet up every year to visit all those special locations and go and have pizza, my grandparents village is just over 30 miles away so not that bad, I could probably drag my siblings there from time to time but it sometimes feels like the only time we’re all together is for holidays or funerals because everyone is so busy, there’s a local pub we tend to visit when there to have food, we were there after the funeral and I had one of the nicest bowls of vegetable soup I’ve ever tasted, somewhat random bit of info but it was delicious lol. ~ Thank you again Ms Weiselberry ~

[@maxdewinter9472]

I'll echo what others are saying: you should feel no pressure to review or make videos on every book you read. I'm sorry to hear that making these videos has begun to take your joy away from reading, but I hope you can overcome that. One aspect of doing what you do that I could imagine would also be stressful is going through these comments. Fortunately the vast majority of them are positive and encouraging, but trying to respond to even just a pecentage of them must be challenging. And then you have people commenting on your ko-fi videos, and videos from years ago for which you may not even be able to remember the detail they are referring to. And your replies are always so well crafted. Never a typo, or an unecessary comma, or an incomplete thought. Just like your videos. Always so well written.

[@Weiselberry]

Thank you! When it comes to the comments, I'm definitely spending a lot more time replying to people than I did a few years ago, and it takes some juggling and shrewd time management to cover all the bases (and to do so somewhat promptly). But ultimately it's a great sign that so many people have so much to say, and I try to respond to as much of the feedback as I can. You're right, though: sometimes someone replies on an old video and I have no clue what they're talking about. :)

You may know this already but Will Jordan is also well known KZbinr, operating under the name The Critical Drinker. He mostly specializes in film reviews and I find his assessments often mirror yours, though in terms of attitude (and language) he can only be described as your polar opposite. His preference is for more recent releases, with the occasional older film thrown in for good measure (It’s A Wonderful Life, Pale Rider, Flight Of The Phoenix). Once in a blue moon he will even comes out with something touching on writing or literature.

[@Weiselberry]

Oh yes, I'm familiar with his KZbin channel! I've mentioned it once or twice before, and I was going to mention it here. But I find sometimes people can get hung up on that (for better or worse), so I opted to let the book stand on its own this time without linking it to a public persona. He's not for everyone, but I've found quite a few good movies through his recommendation.

It's not that I didn't finish it; I just chose not to read all the stories. I get restless with most short story collections. But I've enjoyed I, Robot twice and The Rest of the Robots (another collection), so I've got no issue with Asimov and intend to read more of his stuff.
