I just have to tell this story. Many years ago now at my first ever job working in a used bookstore, I had a regular customer who exclusively read science fiction. He looked to be about 85, wore snake skin boots and matching cowboy hat every time he came in, and was extremely well spoken. You could tell he had read a lot of books in his life. One day out of the blue, he told me this story. As a child he would play in this park every day( name of the park escapes me. It's been maybe 15 years since I heard this). Every day, a well dressed man would walk into the park, sit on a bench for a bit to look at a statue then leave. Eventually his little boy curiosity kicked in and he made a point of walking next to the man to the bench, sat with him, told him stories and waved goodbye every day. Come to find out, the man was Tolkien. My customer told me he had a great sense of humor though seemed melancholy. Always had a smile for him and on the last day he saw him, Tolkien patted his head as he left and quietly slipped back out of his life. I really wish 16 year old me had thought to ask that customer his name. I'm sad I'll never know his story now that I'm an adult. Working in a privately owned book store was the most interesting job I've ever had. I was with them until it closed and am still friends with the old owners. I met the best and worst of mundane humanity in that shop...

@eris I have many neat memories from that job. I'm American, but my favorite customer was an Australian war bride who married an Italian solider and moved to the states. She was a nurse in the war. Her son was a professor at the local university who specialized in insect studies and in his free time staged Civil War reenactments. They were a joy to chat with. Such fun people and such interesting stories. Jobs like that allow you to meet such a wide variety of people honestly. Of course there were also some awful people, but once you knew who was who it was simpler to navigate 🤷♀️ Edit to say WW2 war bride! Missed an important detail

Great film recommendations! Thanks because I never want to watch tv, I’d rather read. But I’ll definitely check out some of the films you’ve recommended!

I totally feel ya. I hardly ever have the desire to watch tv. I’d rather listen to a good audiobook 👌🏻 but yeah, these films are all so good! Hope you enjoy ☺️

The Magicians book series gave me DA vibes. I didn’t even know it was a thing, but now I know why I liked the books so much 😊

I haven't heard one film mentioned that might fit this category, Picnic at Hanging Rock. An outing for a group of schoolgirls results in a tragic disappearance....it is worth a watch. Thank you for this list, I'm going to get caught up with at least some of these films and books!

I’m a dark academia man, I sometimes dabble in steampunk or gothic but dark academia is my day to day.

A bit off topic - but I would love to see a video made about how you store/display/organize your books! Bookshelf space is always an issue for me, so I am curious about how you do it since you get own/haul so many beautiful books!

Hahaha as of now they’re laying all over my bedroom floor 😫 My problem is that I want these really nice, fancy (and way too expansive) bookshelves. I haven’t bought some cheap temporary ones because it feels like a waste of money 😂 I’m currently building some hanging shelves but I actually don’t have a nice place to store my books 😂 Hopefully that’ll change soon! 🙈

I recently found you and I love your channel. I just finished watching the Waltons and the Baldwin Sister's house reminded of dark academia.
