I completely agree about Denisov. Wonderful character. I also love William Dalrymple. Your take on a fictional crush is brilliant 😂. Great video

You're making swift progress through the Quartet! Love hearing your thoughts on how the different volumes are striking you. 🙂

[@aaronfacer]

Thank you, Patricia! They're going much faster than I thought. I think it's because they become the only thing I want to read once I've started them!

Definitely a unique take on ‘crush’ Aaron 😂. I’m a big Olga Tokarczuk fan and so was going to read her new novel this year anyway, but was extra pleased when I found out the Magic Mountain link as I already had plans to read that with Classics and Company, in fact I started today, so I’ll be able to see any links for myself. Interested to see what you make of Tender is the Night. I’ve read The Great Gatsby multiple times but for some reason have never read anything else by him. 🤔

[@aaronfacer]

I hope you have lots of fun with The Magic Mountain! I'm feeling slightly daunted by Tender is the Night and I'm not sure why... Maybe it's just because it's sitting in Gatsby's shadow. I'm still very curious, though!

Another great video, Aaron.... this is completely random, but I am a curious person. I follow a good few booktubers, and I always think, "I wonder what they do for a full-time job," or is youtube a full-time job. I don't create videos, but I am an avid reader and book collector, but for a "living" I am a manager of a Farm store with about 30 employees, I live in a small rural town in Oklahoma and not very many people around here are "readers" or collectors of books. So, there is your random thought of the day 🤔 😁... keep up the great content, Aaron 👍👏🎉

[@aaronfacer]

Thank you! That's a great random thought. I'm certainly nowhere near the point where KZbin could be my full-time job. But like you, I often like to imagine how BookTube fits around the rest of people's lives. To satisfy your curiosity somewhat, I work as an Administrator for a University's Disability Service. I never thought it would be the kind of job I'd end up in, but it's been going pretty well so far! 😊

Denisov was a favorite of mine 😊 Les Miserables ❤️ I’m reading Don Quixote right now.

[@aaronfacer]

Nice! I hope you have fun with Don Quixote!

Aaron...I just became a subscriber. U have excellent taste.

[@aaronfacer]

Thank you, that's very kind!

[@saintdonoghue]

I keep waiting for some BookTuber to say their favorite fictional crush is ME - mysteriously, it hasn't happened yet ...

[@aaronfacer]

Well, it hasn't been going well for my fictional crushes so far, so maybe you've been lucky...

[@HannahsBooks]

I love your fictional crush!

[@aaronfacer]

Haha! Thanks, Hannah!

Fauchelevant for fictional crush: 🤣🤣🤣

[@aaronfacer]

Maybe I'll answer that one a little less literally next time! 😄

Thank you, Debs! Have you read any other Williams Dalrymple books? I really enjoyed this one and I'm not sure what to try next.
