Are you currently breathing oxygen? (yes!) Then you MUST read these books...they're required reads for life!
Hi friends!
I was recently asked, "What book do you think everyone must read?"
Well, this video is my answer!
I'd also love to know which books you think are required reads for all those who are currently breathing air! Feel free to share your personal "required reads" in a comment so we can all read them before we are no longer breathing air...(hopefully not for a very long time :P)
Sending you my warmest wishes,
Carolyn Marie :)

Not you and Emma posting at the same time! Happy to see you added some poets to the list! Robert Frost. Even though his last name is Frost his poetry is very comforting and feels like a warm hug! 🥰 And yes Carolyn the stinkin’ reflection on the glasses! 😂🤓

My top 5 books everyone should read: Victor Hugo, Les Miserables; Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre; Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol; Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass; Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D'Urbervilles. A short story entry would be Ray Bradbury, "All in a Summer's Day." I think reading these will make anyone more human...more humane.

Loved seeing Rainer Maria Rilke on that list, it's probably one of the three books that influenced me the most and that I will keep rereading!

Oh, Carolyn!! I had not read any work by Backman until you talked about it on this channel. When I went to the library, the only one that was checked in at that time was "And Every Day the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer." So, I checked it out and was so unprepared for what this very short book was going to do! I now completely understand just why you love this author! The irony is that my mother is actually going through this very thing, so it touched my heart. And then, it broke me! Beautiful!! 🥹🥹

Excellent choices, good discussions about why. As always, you are clear and detailed. My own view is that there are many books I'd use as a kind of litmus test to spot simpatico folks or fellow Wiccanthropes, but I'd not impose the reading of any book on anyone. I'm aware your Must Read category means you're citing those books as essential for anyone who loves books and reading and good writing. On that I can agree. I'd include The Little Prince, A Christmas Carol, Treasure Island, Frankenstein, Dracula, and scads more in my own list of books I'd strongly recommend. Brava, Carolyn. Another great topic and discussion.

This is the most amazing contemporary works of fiction I've read in a very long time. It made me cry, it made me pause and reflect on the nature of love, it made me look back at our recent history (recent to me is from the 80s on), and it made me wonder what our collective story is. Is it still being written and can we make edits or rewrite it better?? Read this book!!!

Absolutely agree with you on the existential need for poetry. For those who haven't found a collection yet/ are just starting out I recommend the poetry pharmacy vol I or II. It's a careful selection of poems from different poets, fitting for particular worries/ ailments/ fear and some insight why the editor chose it. I discovered my love for Mary Oliver and others there.

I totally agree with your point on Meditations about the value of seeing how people thought so long ago. I find historical literature like Gilgamesh super interesting for that reason. It's one of the earliest recorded stories and you'll still see its themes pop up in all kinds of modern media. There's a comfort in seeing that some things remain the same when the modern world seems to move too fast to keep up at times.

Mentioning Robert Frost sent me down memory lane. When I was in college at Syracuse I was lucky to attend an event where he read some his poetry and interacted with the audience. It was a joyful experience for everyone attending and the poet as well. What I liked, too, about Frost was his colorful observation that blank verse is like playing tennis without a net. That always makes me smile and something I once heartily agreed with. Now, though, one of my favorites is Billy Collins who does nothing but blank verse. He's like the next door neighbor who's always there for you when you need him.

I was taught such an interesting interpretation of the Robert Frost poem that is entirely different than the normal take we see. As you said, Frost was a rather sad individual and my teacher pointed out that the poem doesn't actually indicate that the road less travelled by has made a better difference. "...I doubted if I should ever come back..." and "...I shall be telling this with a sigh..." For some reason, reading that poem with a sadder lens makes me love it more.. is that weird? haha

The influence Whitman had on them is undeniable. Highly recommend reading those two. Id also recommend the following; 1. The Anatomy of Influence by Harold Bloom 2. How to read and why by Harold Bloom 3. Charles Baudelaire poetry 4. On the Aesthetic Education of Man by Friedrich Schiller 5. The Myth of Sissyphus by Albert Camus 6. Madame Bovary by Gustav Flaubert

I’ve read most of these books and I agree. Love them so much. I would also add Thoreau to the poet list. Also, if you haven’t read Wendell Berry I highly suggest him. I always tell people he’s the male Mary Oliver. His poem “the peace of wild things” is probably his most popular. Rumi is also pretty special.

A Man Called Ove was my highlight of 2022. I cried and I laughed. I have to say that the grumpy/disgruntled main character is one of my favorite tropes and it was simply just right. I had read Bear Town afterwards and couldn't finish it. But it's not because of Bachman, it's because I lived in a version of Bear Town and now hate hockey and simply could NOT haha I wanted to add about poetry. When I started homeschooling my children, we started studying a poet per year. My children learned poems by heart and they took on such a different colour. This family study and recital has made me love poetry so much more than I ever had in my school years. I feel like coming back to it was so beneficial and I was glad to hear your suggestions

If you like poets who write about nature, I can highly recommend Gerard Manley Hopkins. He used a lot of techniques found in Welsh poetry to do with syllabic structure and rhythm and the results are dreamy and yet full of life and feeling. It's the closest you can get to speaking Welsh without being able to speak it. Some of my favourite of his are Pied Beauty, Binsey Poplars and Inversnaid. (I also love Robert Frost and Mary Oliver.)

Love Frost and Whitman, especially Whitman! But I'm 50, single, graduated university only 10 years ago, and about to move out of the country to teach English. So my life has also been the Road Less Traveled! If you get the chance I also recommend a very different style of poet, Arthur Rimbaud. His poetry has been a huge influence on not only literature, but music as well. Beautiful writing!! And he quit writing poetry at the age of 20.

Wish You Were Here is the first in the series but more people are critical of that one. ( his other books are good as well). A funny grumpy old man series is The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen by Hendricks Groen. Enjoyed hearing your recommendations

" “Only one man comes to me, he was the Emperor Aurelius. He wrote the famous book, MEDITATIONS. Of course it is not what I call meditation, but meditations. My meditation is always singular; there can be no plural to it. His meditations are really contemplations; there can be no singular to it. Marcus Aurelius is the only name I can remember in the whole Roman history worth mentioning - but that not too much. Any poor Basho could defeat Marcus Aurelius. Any Kabir could hit the emperor and bring him beyond his senses…But this is all that has come from the Romans - nothing much, but still something. One should not reject anybody totally. Just by way of courtesy I accept Marcus Aurelius, not as an enlightened one but as a good man. He could have been enlightened if, by chance, he had come across a man like Bodhidharma. Just a look from Bodhidharma into the eyes of Marcus Aurelius would have been enough. Then he would have known, for the first time, what meditation is.”
