Would you ever consider uploading just the audio to Spotify or something as a podcast?

[@jaredtaylor9775]

I'm Clifford's agent and he asked me to give you his response: 🖕🖕

[@ambroseallen5027]

We’re all here for Cliff’s good looks. I watch on mute

@@ambroseallen5027 What do you mean you watch on mute? Isn't he always lyp-syncing all the time

[@felipejose5982]

I would like that, but still, I have to agree with the fella up here, Cliff has the best looks!

Ooh, Benjamin Labatut is obsessed with Pascal Quignard and I'm obsessed with Benjamin Labatut, so I should read this

[@BetterThanFoodBookReviews]

Oh no kiddin? I didn’t know that - I’ve been meaning to read Labatut. Thanks for watching and the info 👍

@@BetterThanFoodBookReviews his books are about mathematicians and scientists, but I find them very readable and engaging, I recommend!

[@juneeliott809]

I couldn't help but notice your "Look Homeward, Angel" copy on your shelf. I cannot wait for you to read and review it. That's a great one!

[@ichirofakename]

Thanks for this review. Happily my local library has a copy in French, which I just reserved. I like to read contemporary French literature and appreciate learning about interesting-sounding novelists new to me.

[@laurenskloosterman7566]

I’m gonna read this, great review thanks

[@spazthespasticcolonel1054]

Thank you! The book and the author both sound fascinating. Also, great to hear some love for Peter Greenaway. Cheers!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Pretty new to this book tube business and finding my way around. I hope you get some great reads this year. Best wishes to you.

[@BetterThanFoodBookReviews]

Thanks for stopping by, wishing you the same! Hope you get some great reads too.

[@paulbrumberg6415]

the book you pick are always so good

[@allesvergaengliche]

Loved his Tous les matins du monde. Great movie too.

[@joejs7659]

One of the best authors of our time, in my view, were Dambudzo Marechera. His “the house of hunger” is no less than genius. Died too early and deserves more praise and recognition.

[@birdmanstrength]

Great vid as always, brother.

[@michaelfeehanau]

Cliff, I seriously love your channel, and I have been watching it for many years. You have influenced me towards great writers - many I am familiar with already. I started a book tube channel many years ago which I am returning to. I would like to make just one suggestion you talk rather quickly in a sort of a run or maybe I just need to listen more - anyway warmest regards from the bottom of the world (not a metaphor) Melbourne Australia. MICHAEL

[@journeyofsound397]

I love his rapid fire approach to his reviews personally

[@brynleyjones3635]

I would love to hear some reviews of Lovecraft stories. You did that Lovecraft/Houellebecq review a while ago, but never any of his actual stories. I've just gotten into them recently, so hearing your thoughts on them would be better than food for me.

[@BetterThanFoodBookReviews]

Thanks for watching and your suggestion - I did a patron-only review of "The Call of Cthulhu" a couple of Halloweens ago. www.patreon.com/posts/call-of-cthulhu-74055549?Link&

[@WillShakes423]

I found out about Wakefield Press from this review and with the selections I found there, now I can't get enough of it. I even bought my own copy of A Terrace in Rome. Edit: I think the part of the book that stuck with me most was chapter 43. (Slight spoilers) It's as he lies dying in bed and he engages in conversation with a fly on whether or not he's a ghost. It feels mysterious to me.

[@AaronHipschman]

Curious, what were Kit’s other two recommendations?

[@onyxseal24]

oh, hello Mr Bookman

[@d.b.4093]

Love your channel! You should read "GRIME" the first English translation of iconic Swiss-German novelist Sibylle Berg. ;-) Ein abartig gutes Buch! Lol

[@lionstandingII]

You're just a Good Man......would give ya money if Ah had it...

[@RagingHamster8330]

Just finished this anomalous novel!! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Ivxnrxjxs]

I haven't read it but why does this plot sound convoluted to me. Is it the manner in which he switches his narrative from poetry to prose or is it your review that leaves me reading between the lines of events... I will say that I can appreciate an author's suggestion to slow down and linger on phrases line you said about this novella.

[@mulefa1]

Thanks for recommending Wise Blood.. One of the best books I’ve ever read. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on A Clockwork Orange. I’m reading it at the moment, it’s like satanic clown poetry

[@journeyofsound397]

I couldn't enjoy it. I tried and tried but Clockwork sadly just isn't for me 🫣

[@wallysls]

Does someone know if he's ever reviewed a horror book?

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

he did a few in October, namely The Hellbound Heart, but he's done others too. you could argue some of the southern gothic stuff can be counted as horror too.

[@Michael-Esparza]

He reviewed The Stand.

[@Liisa3139]

So, this is probably Georges Perec type of writing.

[@Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh17]

Just wait until Cliff finds out about Pierre Michon.

[@ryanand154]

Bradley Cooper has really let himself go.

[@ryanand154]

American Sniper?
