Moby Dick is when whale

[@mayblueming]

him misreading "norse gods" as "horse gods" was peak comedy moment, and its even funnier cuz he wasnt even aware of his misreading.

[@kazdryno]

he was told to psychoanalyze the books but then he goes off psychoanalyzing the wood

[@madisonelizabeth329]

I literally started crying at 6:24. The confusion of "Horse Gods" has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while

[@karolinenavarsete6925]

I DIED😂😂😂

[@sarahs2951]

Same!

[@yikes6537]

There is no way you learned to edit THIS well without having made fan edits in the past. Release the fancams.

“I feel like your room smells of cabbage“ putting the psycho into analysis, babe

[@leahbrowne04]

i feel like the shelf with under the dome and milk and honey and co***n ho***r is like a book purgatory of sorts cause it’s separate from the rest 👀

[@pretzelpower4758]

Fr it’s like book time out 😭😭

[@leahbrowne04]

also ms jk rowling

[@raahimas2776]

i thought so too lol

[@samanthaleaf]

that's what I was thinking because the rest of their books are mostly queer YA so I would be surprised if they liked Colleen Hoover lmfao

[@samanthaleaf]

well it's actually more like half queer YA after further inspection haha

[@natpiskor]

im SO obsessed with your editing, you’re literally the funniest book-related channel that exists

[@natpiskor]

also HORSE GODS💀

[@shawnmccomb]

thank u 😁

[@meghanpfeiffer]

I've read Moby Dick, so here is the gist: -Ishmael becomes friends with a cannibal -They get on a ship together -Whale anatomy -Whale metaphors -Whale science -More whale anatomy -Lots more whale metaphors (Spoilers!) -Moby Dick wins

[@lauraanne7108]

"Queequeg was George Washington canabalistically developed" is the best quote in the entire book and it has stuck with me for over a year now

[@AndriusReadsBooksSometimes]

don't forget the homoerotic vibes and gnostic mysticism

0:40 as a psychology student the basic definition of psychoanalysis i was taught was that it was a branch of psychology founded by sigmund freud (bitch) where he said that psychoanalysis is kind of a system to understand and cure psychological disorders and freudian psychoanalysis viewed human beings as being motivated by an unconscious desire of seeking and gratifying pleasure or some shit like that

[@AnotherEmi]

My personal understanding of Freud's psychoanalysis is that it all comes down to sexual frustration. However, I'm ace and I would love to hear what Freud would have said about that.

[@sage14721]

6:27 misreading norse gods as horse gods was the moment

[@adrianna2614]

if someone told me that my room smelled like cabbages i would cry for a week😭also i'm gonna call thor the horse god from now on thank you shawn

[@petshopcacao]

no but he isn’t wrong about my room tho… it smells weird idk why

[@nita0507]

I’m laughing at the fact that close to 1/3 of the video was Camille’s bookshelf 😭 Shawn really did not want to die bahaha

[@petshopcacao]

i got og privilege what can i say

[@petshopcacao]

bestiieee can’t believe you chose to live and put me in this one🥰 for your information i’m from Quebec lmao and my dad made my bookshelf😔 but thanks for the roast, idk why the hobbit is called bilbo the hobbit in french tho😭😭 and my room does smell weird… cheap apartment life

[@juligirl4545]

honestly best editing of any channel I've ever seen. I never usually find myself giggling maniacally over booktube videos but here we are

[@shawnmccomb]

thank u :)

[@salems_lot]

I just want Camille to know I love their taste in books so so much😭😭 I would die to have some of the books they got

[@petshopcacao]

THANK YOUU

[@Veronica-oc9yt]

💜💜💜Infinite jest is not what you think, really! It’s a page turner and a fascinating study of masculinity, addiction and depression that is VERY FUNNY and exciting to read. Like, babe, I was the same. But I gave it a go and fell in love. And this book doesn’t let you go, you want to go back because you feel for so many characters. BuT One criticism I had after reading is how MALE this book is.. I mean all the main characters are white and male and the few women are rather one dimensional. But being a young woman myself I found this perspective surprisingly insightful because it was done in such a masterful way.

[@book_obsessed_bisexual]

I want you to know that you have made my life 10x better since I found your channel. I have binge watched literally all your videos in the past week & I literally feel so much happier and have been laughing so much more❤️

words can't describe how much i love this video

[@emjayforster325]

your videos are the only thing keeping me alive rn

[@eralonuva]

Moby Dick is so good if you treat it like switching back and forth between a nonfiction book about whales and a tight literary fiction book about everything else. I hated having to read parts of it in high school but love it as an adult.

[@icarlyrocks1011]

The fact that you started the video judging the material of the bookshelf lets me know this will be amazing

[@dannynutshell]

hi shawn, i finished a little life a while ago and i didn't knew what to read next so i read the secret history, now I have an existential crisis and i don't know what to read bc feels like no book is gonna be as good. and its YOUR fault.

[@aamnainfebruary]

You can read the Patrick Melrose series. You can kinda call it a funny love child between the two

[@agnum0]

read Hesse Demian for dark vibes

[@samanthaleaf]

i know you mean, i would definitely recommend These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever if you want something kinda like the secret history but it definitely still stands on its own as an amazing book with great writing and sometimes I think it's better than the secret history because it's actually queer (check TWs tho)

[@dannynutshell]

Infinite Jest is great. Definitely a commitment but not as difficult as people say because once you get into it and accept you're not going to understand each and every reference and just soak up as much as you can it becomes an amazing reading experience. Maybe try Oblivion first it's one of his short story collections. Edit: Also read Moby-Dick coward. You'll see.
