Read Good Novels. Stop Reading Trash!

I've been wanting to read Beloved by Toni Morisson, but I've also been rather undecided (looks at my HUGE TBR pile...). Your description of it made me borrow it immediately! Love books that use haunting, love this video too! Looking forward to more book recommendations from you, Andrew :-)

I can sympathize with the huge TBR pile. I seem to be able to buy books much faster than I can read them! Beloved is the best. Really one of those books I think everyone should read in their lifetime. It’s heavy but I think you’ll enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching!

Murakami owes much of his international success to his translator, Alfred Birmbaum. Were his prose renderings (not really direct translations) of Murakami's Japanese not so evocative, he might never have gained an international audience.

Very interesting.

Just finished Sputnik Sweetheart. Great recommendation, loved the novel, thank you!

@@kyleread2524 Glad to hear it! I think about that book all the time.

⁠@@GreatBooksProf I agree, it really draws you in. I feel like I’ll be pondering this book, and Greek music echoing from mountaintops, for many years to come. 😊 Again, excellent recommendation.
