Engaging with books has significantly elevated my perspective on investing. True wealth isn't built through mere savings; financial freedom stems from strategic investments. I've learned that accumulating wealth hinges on making prudent investment decisions|

keep reading even when you don't fully understand the point or the purpose of the story or the text...... Good advice!

I'm probably a mediocre reader. I rarely reread books, don't keep notes, and am constantly on the search for something new.

It's so enjoyable to watch you slowly build up this castle of literature around yourself.

thank you so much for creating this channel and for the way you talk about books ✨️ it grounds me, reminds where life really is - like those special moments and things around which everything else is still, and you get to just be. thank you for adding some of that to the world (both you and Amreen).

so helpful, ayesha! i think i wanted to hear exactly what you are saying with the context behind what you are saying. the narrative shift is so important to appreciate art and here, reading, i guess and to engage with more layers what we read. the more we sit with one narrative, the more narrower the possibility of possibility becomes. i am going to come back to rewatch this video just as a support. been dealing with a lot of tiredness mentally especially when it comes to reading. i don't do read as a chore but it feels harder because perhaps i am expecting unrealistic understanding just at the first go. thank you for sharing these thoughts with us. also, would you make a video talking about levels of book difficulty varying with genres and timelines and reading habits that come with it? not generally but about your experience and activity just like this one.

Thank you for this guide to reading and re reading Shakespeare!

Finally found an Indian Booktuber who likes classics and not just tiktok books ❤

I genuinely feel that most of the people struggle to pick up the habit of reading and some of us who do, lose the interest in reading in midway due this very fact that we don't know how to read. Reading is essentially a personal and reflective process and everyone has a different way of engaging with it and unless we figure out our ways of doing it, we are bound to fail as a reader. Thank you for picking up this fundamental topic. It is a sort of validation that I am not the only one who has a different way of engaging with the books.

This was such an interesting video and I'm so happy I found your channel.

thank you for your videos! they are really pleasing to watch and with a free summer ahead, accompanied with some classics, these are really helpful tips!

Watching this today. A very helpful video, Ayesha, thank you for making it.

i am so happy to find your channel, i really wanted a fellow indian (i'm assuming you're indian) talking about classics who focusses on quality > quantity. thank you for the recommendations!!

Some tremendous recommendations

Thanks, this is a great channel very helpful advice is getting into reading. i am on a journey reading through Hellenic Philosophy such as Epictetus, Aurelius and Seneca and these tips have helped me stick with it and not be afraid to reread to get a deeper perspective. Part of my desire to read deeply is to offset the effect of social media on the mind so it is great i have found you on this Media!

Shakespeare is worth reading just for the cultural references! Much love 🤍

Wonderful video as always ✨. I’m very glad that you mentioned about Kant’s The critique of Pure Reason. Please make a video on Kant’s philosophy and your personal take on Kant’s works since he has influenced the likes of Schopenhauer and Husserl. Thank you so much for talking about books with such passion and sincerity🤌🏻🙏🏻.

Rereading is golden for the hard books. And usually after the re-read it becomes one of your favourite books.

I've tried reaching Shakespeare before but the language was incomprehensible for me but I guess this was a reminder to try again. Very cool video btw.

Julius Caesar and Merchant of Venice , only shakespeare book I’ve read, coz of school. However wanted to try and couldn’t get through few pages. This video is insightful to take small steps and try better now, will do it soon. Instead of usual why to read Shakespeare, this video emphasised on how to start and read. Kudos to that, much needed. Would you suggest owning one book “The complete works of Shakespeare” or buying each story as separate book.

thank you for the wonderful videos 🤍

Can you demonstrate how you annotate texts while reading them multiple times?

Make a video ranking you fav books

I've bought Othello long ago tried it once did not understand shit. imma go try it out again bcs idk it feels worthy reading it

Not a single recommendation from Indian/Eastern philosophy, any reason? I see this theme recurring in a lot of recommendations - there is always a gravitating towards the Western system..

What did you study in college?

I am a little confused about re-reading a book. First, the constratint of time is there, indeed. I am an engineernig student in my third year, I have read over 4-5 books in this summer break, but now I don't if I will be able to even read much regularly, so how am I supposed to re-read even if I like a book so much?

Critique of pure reason ..... Nice ..... Now some study of Hume is in order to counter that.

Beautiful have you read some stuffs of franz kafka?

William’s English is very tough

Cool video... now do it without the cuts

Merci pour la vidéo

Hey Ayesha! Currently reading 'Capitalism, Socialism & Democracy' by Joseph Schumpeter, wbu?

But how do i learn how to read.

Is it important to make notes? Can’t we just re read and make some research on the internet? Wouldn’t be that enough?

You should smile more often! Reading Moby Dick or the whale rn, next is Motorcycle diaries. What are you planning next, after Shakespeare.

I don't think you have read critique of pure reason, ur just bluffing
