I ran out of motivation to read for yeaaars (since I left high school until last year when I was 19). I read constantly before then, and had been doing since I was a child. So far this year I've managed to read 4 books, not a lot by all means but an achievement for me. I aim to read so many more during the rest of the year!

TashaHill that’s a great achievement! Four books is a great number. I know I used to read like 20 books a year and now I read 100-200 a year and honestly reading less is far more enjoyable, you actually remember every book I can’t even remember what I read last month.

Marina Grubli thank you so much. Omg I’m so proud. I couldn’t study literature unfortunately the amount of reading involved I don’t think I’d manage it. I have managed to get into cyber security which tbh I don’t know if it’s better or worse when it comes to reading and spelling. Take care ❤️

Oh my! When you mentioned Death in Venice my heart stopped for like a second because I got so excited. Death in Venice is my favourite book ever & I love what you said about it - your words are so so true! Because of the topic it’s dealing with it’s often judged upon even though the writing and narration of the story is so so good. I’m German so I read it in its original language and I totally agree & understand that the writing style and language need some time getting used to (it’s the same when you read it in German) but after that it really is just lovely. I’ve actually read it about 30 times now since I first read it in spring 2019. Yes I really do love it. By the way your copy looks so beautiful and I’m motivated to read it in English now as well. I’m always sooo happy when people read the books I love. Thank you for this beautiful video it really made my day!

Actually, Thomas Mann and his family are very...let's say interesting. They're the most famous German family when it comes to literature. Thomas Mann for an instance was attracted to young boys, which is very obvious in "death in venice" and due to that he had a very difficult relationship to his sons because he felt so disgusted of his attraction to his own sons. Because of that, the boys really suffered mentally throughout their lives. There were a lot of other "scandals" in the family (for example the oldest son had a sexual relationship with his sister) so if you'd be interested in that you could look into it.

I wouldnt say that he is the most famous German author... Also, you should be careful calling him a pedophile just because he wrote a novella about an older man's attraction to a teenager. Stating rumours about the family as truths is disrespecful as well. There is no proof that two of his children had an incestuous relationship. He was pretty open about is homosexuality in his later years, but again, no proof that he felt sexually attracted to his own children. I dont know what your sources are but I doubt that they are reputable.

@@sahralenny I don't know if he was a paedophile, as in being attracted to actual small children, but as far as i know he was attracted to boys in their teenage years. He wrote about that in his journals. And I didn't mean to say that he was the most famous author, I'm sorry I didn't make that clear enough. What I wanted to say was that there were a lot of rather famous authors in his family (thomas' father, his son,...),making the family as a whole very famous.

I hope you are keeping a book journal of the books you've read. I have a hard cover journal and I write one line for each: Date, Title, author, fiction or non fiction, my 0-5 rating, and what # book that is for the year. If it's audio I'll note that and who narrated. I've had my journal since 1999 - probably a long time before you were even born :) - My only regret is not starting the journal when I was your age. I now also use GoodReads. Some prefer a spreadsheet. I prefer both online and absolutely a hardcover journal. It's interesting to see what topics I was into at the time and also how my reading tastes have also changed over time. Even though I am much older than you, I love your channel. You are an inspiration.
