My Entire 100+ Book TBR! | Classics, Literary Fiction & More
Video Overview & Insights
I promise I'll post a more thought-provoking video soon--I've done too many 'light' videos lately!
I find that there are a lot of books that I’m not excited about reading, but want to have read😊.
I don’t have any suggestions about what you should read, other than what you are excited about reading next. As you are reading books, they will change you and make you want to read a particular author more, for instance. I’d say, go with the flow and pick what’s right for you. Cheers!
Also, sorry, but your pronunciation of Narcissus bugged me. The ‘c’ in the middle should be pronounced like an ‘s’, so it’s Nar-sis-us.
Today I'm talking about every. single. book. on my physical TBR of over 100 books including classics, literary fiction, historical fiction, war novels, modern classics, philosophy, and more! From beloved classics that I have always wanted to read to contemporary literary fiction that everyone recommends, I'm sharing why each book made it onto my shelf and what I'm most excited to read.
Whether you're looking for your next great book, building your own TBR, or simply love hearing people talk about books, I hope you'll discover a few titles to add to your own tbr :))
Be sure to read Ch. 21, in A Clockwork Orange, if your US edition only has 20 Chapters. It completes the story.
Some of the books mentioned: Go Tell It On the Mountain James Baldwin, War and Peace Leo Tolstoy, Life and Fate Vassily Grossman, The Sound and the Fury William Faulkner, Pachinko Min Jin Lee, Shantaram Gregory David Roberts, The Savage Detectives Roberto Bolaño, The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas, The Road Cormac McCarthy, A Farewell to Arms Ernest Hemingway, Moby Dick Herman Melville, The Bluest Eye Toni Morrison, Doctor Zhivago, Cat’s Cradle Kurt Vonnegut, A Confederacy of Dunces, The Grapes of Wrath John Steinbeck, The Jungle Upton Sinclair, The Collected Short Stories of Franz Kafka…….

As someone with overstocked shelves and a nearly 100 book TBR, this will surely speak to me 😂

Light in August has possibly the most head-snapping plot twist I’ve ever read. LOVE Faulkner

You stole A Tale of Two Cities from some homeless guy . Very Nice !
@DJ-he1zcWith 106 unread books - with your new job (good luck) you may not get through all those books until 2029 .
@DJ-he1zcI was so excited when thrifting yesterday because someone had given away their Baldwin collection 😭
@michelanelson5240When you're just an innocent girl who's interested in 20th Century history. 😂
@adequatelycaffeinatedTry East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's his best.
Beware! Thomas Wolfe and Tom Wolfe are two distinct writers. Take care not to confuse them.
Three books read in two weeks. You must be a fast reader. How much time do you spend reading a day?
