It actually didnt come out as well as I'd hoped, I'm sick at the moment so my energy was low and my head was foggy, but I've got so much other stuff to do and the stress is killin me boys! I had to get this done and check it off the list while I had an hour to spare.


I know nobody's gonna watch it, but it feels good to post a completed project. Even on the pisc.

Will watch because I support my homies even if they're gay

Youre the man now, dawg.

Cheers.


Also, it's quite long and gets a bit monotonous, my voice gets very nasally as I'm sick at the moment, and as I said I'm just not in the shape I need to be right now to keep my energy up for an hour long literary analysis video. But it's been on the to-do list for a while and I didnt wanna put it off any longer. I'm hoping to re-record most of it eventually. So no offense taken if you only end up watching 10 minutes or whatevs.

I'll provide feedback itt

I think "S" comes from either videogames or Japan in rankings. Still listening

Where do you put count of monte cristo? Been one of those books I've been meaning to read for years, but never got around to it.

I wanted to hear more about you living in your car sleeping by the library, that is interesting content

Havent read it either. I wonder if it's similar to Don Quixote? Which I started listening to on audiobook some while back and was actually quite enjoying it, but got away from it due to other things going on at the time. I'll have to revisit that sometime soon.

Heh. If I ever get a chance to write Volume 2 of the memoir that'll cover it.

congrats.

Didn't watch yet. but I've read a lot of books; all the greats. garcia marquez is a great writer for sure. I asked AI to list books in video. a few are great franklin, mdick, solitutde...but a lot is summer reading in my book (pun intended).



1984 by George Orwell → S-tierFlawless, lucid writing, compelling story, deep themes on hierarchy/surveillance. One of his favorites.Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin → S-tierAdventurous, inspiring, influential early autobiography. Personally meaningful.Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams → S-tier (implied strongly)Hilarious, original humor sci-fi classic.One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez → A-tierUnique, ornate, exotic imagery and multi-generational story; drags a bit in the middle and can be confusing with names.And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie → A-tierFun, entertaining whodunit/mystery; a personal favorite and culturally influential.Animal Farm by George Orwell → A-tierInteresting allegory with great writing.Brave New World by Aldous Huxley → A-tierRemarkable prescience on genetics/engineering; plot and writing less compelling to him.Candide by Voltaire → A-tierSprightly, whimsical, cheeky satire/parody; funny and engaging.The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde → A-tierOriginal concept; some homoerotic elements noted (personal discomfort but not a dealbreaker).Moby-Dick by Herman Melville → B-tier (or borderline)Exciting start but drags with long whale descriptions/tangents; grandiloquent style.The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner → B-tierInnovative stream-of-consciousness/southern voice; interesting but hard to follow and plot not gripping enough (didn't fully finish).Silas Marner by George Eliot → B-tierInteresting/quaint social realism; some verbose epigrams; solid but not gripping.A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens → Mentioned (tier not fully clear in excerpts, but discussed positively in context).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the part about me doing this from on the toilet at the beginning, and audibly sharting on stream lmao. I thought that part was hilarious. At least to me.

On spread. Will rep for the effort

read War & Peace and post about it. supposed to be the greatest book ever, I've always wanted to read it but it skips my mind...many other great books read though.

Very good, man

Appreciate the kind words baby boyos.

I read the full version in 2024. Took a while due to all the different character sub-stories and sheer amount of words.

Worth it though.
