Fun fact: in Greece we read odyssey at its original form ( Ancient Greek ) and we translate it to our language right now :)

My goodness ! I love Montaigne, Voltaire and Homer but Nancy Mitford ! What treasure troves that woman's works are. I've read The Sun King, Madame de Pompadour, Frederick the Great and Voltaire in Love. Mitford was one of those rare authors who could not only bring the past back to life but who could also make you to love the people in it. Her fiction is excellent too imo. I also own Mary S Lovell's 'The Mitford Girls'. I'll push it up a little bit in my tbr. You have a new subscriber.

Roald dahl is definitely one of the best childrens authors he literally birthed my love for reading and if I ever just can’t get myself to read I still always go back to him

@elliewilliams3174 6 жыл бұрын

It took me a while to learn how to read and it always made me feel bad and honestly roald dahl’s (probably spelt wrong😐) books were the best things to motivate me to learn and I’ve still got two huge books that consist of the majority of what he wrote and I WILL be giving them to my kids one day. I could talk about books for bloomin ages🙌🏻

Ran a search for The Female Quixote and found myself here again! Don Quixote might be my favorite (hard to restrict yourself to one right?), hope you read it one day and do a video. Not a criticism - you have an old soul. And a 17th century one! Or a BC soul. Loved the Iliad myself Stay safe, and thanks for the lovely video.

My favourite book has to be a clockwork orange, it’s just genius! I love how twisted it is but the language is somewhat childish and comical? It’s great! Also love The Catcher in the Rye, Animal Farm and Revolutionary Road! I’m very generic hahaha
