Do it! I've been slowly working on this, to some degree, since last year. Since I've started, I've read around 70 books, many of which classics, and it's been such an enjoyable journey. Read not for ticking off a list, but treat the list as a map through literature, and you'll definitely find your mind expanding.

[@ElenaC1709]

Loving the skit as per usual! Also random recomendations; there is a French animated movie loosely based on Phantom of the Opera called Un Monstre à Paris. There is also a Belgian-Egyptian musician called Tamino whose lyrics are beautifully written stories that make me realise that music can be literature as well, my favourite song of his is Persephone, written from Hades' point of view and it is absolutely mesmerizing! Love from a Dutch-English literature and linguistics major in Belgium!

[@alondraaguilar8629]

Love Tamino, his voice is totally mesmerizing!😍🤧 I actually found him through Persephone and I couldn't believe how beautiful the little story he created through the song was!

I originally sort of wanted to study English as my major, but I guess life has different plans for me. Currently I'm an Interdisciplinary Studies student and so far I'm fine with it for the most part. Wishing you all the best, Emmie. I'm sure life's going to offer you pleasant surprises.

[@maanya__742]

This upload feels like Deja Vu. It was the same video title two years ago that led me to your channel. It also played an important role in deciding upon my major... Which would be literature. All thanks to you Emma, you and your channel mean a lot to me!💗🌻🌻

[@isatequierolove]

Hello Emmie as well as everybody on the comments! 😊😊 I'm also an English major although I graduated from the University of Salamanca in Spain, reading lists may differ in different universities, there are so many books and readings that we share and don't... Here in Spain I think that we read far less than you do overseas although I must admit that I was barely able to get to those readings that they assigned to us, I don't know how you manage to read so much! I must say that here we don't only study literature but we also have a lot of subjects in English language as well as linguistics, so lots of homework and assignments and studying 😅 I'm in a huuuuge reading slump since I finished my degree two years ago though, I hope I will continue reading sometime in the future.🙈 Good luck to those who want to read everything (or some things) that Emmie listed, you have lots or reading to do 📚📚

[@nimrasaeed807]

as a fellow english major from Pakistan it was so cool to see how we're reading almost the same books despite the geographical, social and cultural differences. really makes you think about the impact of 'tradition' eliot is talking about.

Hi Emma!! I just want to say that you're one of the people who inspired me to pursue english literature in the near future!! (this school year is my last year of highschool lol) Also quite random but I saw a norton anthology of american lit in a thrift bookstore for barely 2 dollars!! And I'm planning to skim through some to feel what might the required readings can be when I finally enter college!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Yeah, a lot of us still have our Nortons and our dreams of finally finishing one cover-to-cover. I did do an Oxford during the Pandemic, which is close but not quite the same thing. Good luck!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Yeah, one of the good things about being a student in a Humanities discipline, like English, or History, is the inter-disciplinary reading about (and learning about) literally everything, but the downside of that is ending up as one of those people who sound as if they want to appear they know everything. btw, I too need finally to finish Ellison's Invisible Man. For me, story is superior to meaning, but I'm a caveman.

Ayyy i just finished titus for my Shakespeare class and now an Emmie video. Woohoo!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Wow, Titus is such a bizarre play, and Aaron the Moor is a real bad guy. As your professor may have noted, likely the producers of the play asked Shakspeare to include some graphic sex-based violence, which you don't see much of in later plays.

[@miraintheforest]

It is strange compared to other Shakespeare plays. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasnt my favorite.

[@jamesduggan7200]

@@miraintheforest You can compare Tamora with Margaret (HVI2,3), and the fate of Iago is roughly similar to that of Aaron, but besides those there are few points of similarity in the canon of a playwright who typically uses the same devices over and over.

[@timaxavier]

This was really interesting to know. Thank you for walking through and giving us a brief idea about all the books you studied. I'm personally torn between choosing English or Psychology as my course, and people always say I would do really well in English, but honestly... most of the syllabus doesn't seem appealing to me. I do love analyzing and writing reviews of books/movies, especially ones I liked, but I'm not sure if that's enough of a reason to take it as my degree. Psychology on the other hand is a subject I've always been fascinated and curious about (along with Physics and Philosophy), and I just love observing people, their interactions with each other, how people think, and getting to know more about how the human mind works. I just love how nuanced of a field it is because it's so hard to gauge human beings. I also like learning about various mental health issues, and want to create more of an awareness for it, especially since it is lacking where I live in. I've never learned psychology (at least in school), so I can't say if I'd do well in it. Sorry for going off on a tangent, haha, but your video was really insightful on English literature. Also, I'm kind of curious to read your Frankenstein essay. Stay well, Emma. :)

[@jamesduggan7200]

Many undergrads find that five, even six years is necessary to finish their first uni degree, which is fine if you can afford it. Of course, the older you are when you do near graduation the more you will actually understand (rather than parrot), tho some employers do prefer new hires who are not already fully-formed. As for psychology - much more than for English - the internships and real-life classes are very helpful.

[@timaxavier]

[@I05-e4s]

As someone who didn't study English, you can still love literature and explore great classics while studying another degree! Your thoughts will not be bolstered and fed by well-read professors (unless you seek out critical essays), but you can still form them and enjoy the process of doing so.

[@martinkirsch5969]

Very interesting video! I love Yeats, Eliot, Blake, Plath and Dickinson; awesome poets. I'm reading Plath's journals at the moment. I've only read Heaney's verse translation of Beowulf (one of my favourite stories of all time), I should read his other stuff. Milton's so interesting. It sounds crazy but some real kingdoms were broken up into smaller realms when the king died, each part going to a different child; for example, Charlemagne's empire was huge and was split up into three different parts (one part basically gave us France and another Germany). From what I understand this was common in late antiquity and in the early middle ages, but after a while people realised it actually was a good idea to not divide the realm. So King Lear isn't that crazy; Shakespeare was heavily influenced by history and works of literature written before his time. P.S. Love the cat meowing.
