The Penguin Classics Book: A Reader's Companion

[@kevincox1493]

In case you don’t know. There is a podcast by Henry Elliot about some of these books. ‘On the road with penguin classics.’ The Pride and Prejudice one is a good one to start with. Very entertaining. Lots of hidden gems.

I didn't know! Thanks :)

Happy New Year Emmelie to you. Thanks for a great channel and brilliant book suggestions in 2024. Looking forward to what happens in 2025. 🎉

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

So kind of you. Thanks, John!

I love this book (and the companion volume on modern classics)! It is indeed a dangerous book as I found out about so many works of all ages and countries that I wanted to buy.

[@MariaVivian-z5n]

Thank you for this Emmelie! This looks like a very useful book indeed! It also strikes me as the kind of book you may have to purchase an updated edition every five or ten years in order to keep up with the new books/editions published by Penguin.

Thanks for sharing this review. Happy reading, everyone.

My first year on book tube. Nice to make your acquaintance this year! Here's to a great year of reading in 2025! Best wishes.

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

Thank you so much, I'm glad to have you here! Happy New Year ;)

I think I’m going to have to get this. It looks like so much fun to browse. Thanks for the book tour!

[@TriumphalReads]

I didn't even know this existed. Very cool and as some who just started reading fiction and classics again this would be super convenient and helpful. Great vid Emmelie !

[@doctoryinling]

I bought this book on kindle! Thanks for your amazing sharing❤

[@spikedaniels1528]

Hello Emmellie, I certainly did enjoy your detailed tour of this book: good audio and camera work as well. In my younger years I might have purchased this for my library, but alas now I’m engaged in the Sisyphean struggle to prune back and don’t need such dangerous fruit in the garden. Wishing you years of enjoyment with this savory reference. Happy Holidays wherever you are! ~Spike in Arizona. 🤠 (a much younger photo)

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

Dangerous fruit 😂 I love that. Happy holidays!

Hi Emmelie! The book looks very stylish, and defining it the "reader's companion" seems to be more than correct! I liked the ASMR-y parts of this video, and the reading you did. Overall, it definitely looks like a catalogue of pillars of literature that a reader might want to pick up during their lifetime, not necessarily choosing from the Penguin Classics collection alone. See you next week, take care!

[@stoneymurphy1585]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@ToReadersItMayConcern]

This is such a tempting book (filled itself with further temptations).

[@binglamb2176]

I love Penguin Classics editions and this book looks like a very valuable resource. As you say, however, very dangerous indeed because I would find so many books I would want to buy!😄

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

Sooo dangerous 👀

[@denisefreitas6727]

This book looks amazing! I'll save money to buy it. Thanks a lot for the video, Emmelie! 💖

[@davidmccalip5759]

Hello Emmelie! I hope you had a Merry Christmas with your family. I was hoping you would do a video of this book when you first showed it in a previous video. I agree with you 100% that this book is indeed, very dangerous for someone like me b/c I would go bankrupt. 😉 I may need to consult with you and that book on future Penguin book purchases 😂 I look forward to your next video. Have a great week!

[@karlalymburner8460]

Beautiful book, did not know something like this existed ❤❤

[@manuelespinosa724]

I bought the book about two years ago and I am very happy with it.

[@richardfairley9882]

I didn't know about this book! 😮 Feliz Navidad! 🎄🎉☃️🙏

[@jamila72]

I love both of my penquin books.

[@richardfairley9882]

There is a companion volume called The Penguin Modern Classics Book... ❤

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

Yes, correct! 😊

[@corki1017]

I love this! I hope penguin is paying you a commission because I just ordered a copy

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

@@corki1017 Haha no they're not 😂

[@Thetrilingualreader]

This is the peak of having a special interest 😂 and i am here for it (giving a bit neurodivergence wink wink)

[@ProseAndPetticoats]
