About Anna Karenina: I did not like Levin!

The double is about our double, our shadow. I saw the movie and loved it.

East of eden is absolutely amazing!

Oh how I missed your videos♥️ they always bring peace to my heart

Omg! Flower for algernon was so good😩😩😩😩😩 i nva heard booktubers talking about this book, can't wait for your review Carolyn ☺️☺️

Hi there , where can I join you in reading murakami books !! Like any club or group you have

Actually it’s 408 books

Can you link Emmy UA-cam channel also?

I just got that penguin classics yesterday at a GoodWill for $3! In excellent shape!

i finished the lord of the rings in may and i still think about it all the timeeeee! it’s one of my all time favorites for sureee!! i’m planning on reading an ishiguro too this summer, i decided on the burried giant. i also wanna read a hundred years of solitude, the murakami for the bookclub ofc and maybe crime and punishment too

I used to read LotR every year for about a decade. I stopped about 10 years ago and now I want to pick it up. I bought the illustrated trilogy and hope to read it again this summer! Those illustration are beautiful and I look forward to them! Flowers for Algernon is my mom's favorite and so I'll be reading it while visiting her this summer. :D Have a great summer!

I read East of Eden recently and it is my all time favorite classic now!!

Oh my God, I read the first book of 1Q84 from my local library. Since it was split into 3 I wanted to buy them all because I LOVED it. There is just something special about Murakami's books. I also read After Dark and ever since I reminisce about certain scenes from the book. I cannot wait to get the books next week. Rarely ever do I think about books the way I thought about Murakami's, no clue why lmao

It seems completely impossible to bridge the gap between mine and carolyn's reading of the classics. But it feels so soothing that there is one book in the world that I've read and Carolyn hasn't. East of Eden. At least for a little while longer. Yes, after all, it's about to read or not to read, that's the timshel.

Herman Hesse (hess-a) generally, all vowels are pronounced in German. The final e is a short-e sound.

Hi, Carolyn! The mini bookmarks are so popular, they sold out in 24 hours--please restock soon!🙏🧡

Well, Carolyn, why did you read the first lines from East of Eden? Now I am gonna start the book in July, no matter what. It’s beautiful. I cannot wait for us to start together😅

I cant wait to read 1q84 as a murakami fan with you girls🎉 east of eden and flowers to algernon ❤both are amazing books 🥰 currently reading the collector and quite enjoying it😉

Stellar collection of books to read for summer, wishing you the best of luck! Hoping in particular you enjoy more of Murakami's writing, he's by far my favourite author. My seasonal reading list is mostly composed of books that I've had on my shelf the longest, some of them nearly 10 years... Hopefully my momentum continues!

Congratulations for your marriage! So lovely to see you happy with a sweet kind and considerate man. A passion for literature among both is unique.

I have not been able to join in any of the club picks this year so far but I think I will pick up 1Q84.

You should get to North and South, and Madame Bovary. They are wonderful. Mishima is a very interesting writer.

"East Of Eden" deserves to be read on it's own,not sharing time with any other book.

I read most of Murakami’s work and 1Q84 is of his best imo. Enjoy!

Congratulations again Carolyn! Most bookmarks really are too big lol. These are gorgeous! I too color coordinate or sometimes thematically coordinate my bookmarks to my books. And then sometimes I am too lazy to look through my bookmark stack and just use an old receipt or my memory lol.

Congratulations to you and Leon! I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. 🥰

I was going to read East of Eden this year. I promised myself I would, and that next year I would read The Grapes of Wrath. But I wound up suddenly deciding to read The Grapes of Wrath first, which is my current read. I'm loving it so much, I just keep hugging it to my chest every third page. I think Steinbeck is going to be one of my favorite authors. I have read a couple of his short stories last year, and in junior high we had Of Mice and Men read to us, which I don't remember much. So this is really my first time actually properly reading a John Steinbeck novel, and I can't tell you what it is to me. I got the beautiful hardcover 75th anniversary edition that came out in 2014 with the original cover art by Elmer Hader that was on the first edition in 1939. So gorgeous.

Just finished 1Q84. You are in for a treat! I just loved it!❤

U read any murakami? I'm halfway with wind up bird and it's great

Prepare some tissues for Flowers for Algernon 🤧

I was going to say “if you don’t read East of Eden” I loose all hope that you ever will… but then you selected it! It’s amazing, enjoy!

Massive Murakami fan. I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of his books. Men Without Women was my introduction to his work, and subsequently fell in love with Norwegian Wood, Kafka On the Shore, After Dark, Sputnik Sweetheart, Colorless Tsukuru and Novelist as a Vocation. Probably my favourite author. Also I'd recommend A Song of Ice and Fire. Currently near the end of A Game of Thrones which I'm thoroughly enjoying

I read both the Lord of the Rings trilogy and East of Eden before I was twelve years old, and that was a very long time ago now. They were important books to me as a kid, so it's always interesting to hear from people who first come to them as adults.

Flowers for Algernon sounds like the Rise of the Planet of The Apes. Only now as action-y

I can never hear the landscapers that you are often concerned about? Please don’t worry about them. Claire B 😊

Flowers for Algernon is amazing !!! I cried atleast 3 times, one of my all time favorites.

This is such a fantastic list! I have most of them on my TBR as well! 🙂✌🏻

You will love East of Eden! It is fantastic. I reread it earlier this year and it is still such a wonderful book, Great story and deeply written characters. I also love the little bits of family history that are included given that Steinbeck was writing it to his sons to read when they were old enough. 1Q84 is a quick read despite its intimidating size. I am planning to reread it with y’all but when I read it the first time, I found it strange but easy to read. I was hooked within the first few pages.

James Agee, A Death in the Family. Special read. Thank you.

The Tolkien was absolutely gorgeous!!! I hope you love the close of the trilogy! East of Eden was one of my favorites, I hope you do finish this! And 1Q84 is something that has been on my TBR for over a decade, lol Mishima is a very difficult author. His novels are one thing, but his politics are not interesting to me. I did not like his Sailor and I did finish it, but it was not good. Lord of the Flies, but it felt like Mishima was trying too hard. And his alt-right view just turned me off when I realized he tied them into his work without me really seeing them. I just decided I'd rather not read his work any longer

Congratulations & warm hugs on your recent marriage! I too have had "East of Eden" resting quietly and patiently on my bookshelf. I'm sure once we read it, we'll wonder what took us so long! 😅 I just finished "A Pale View of Hills" and though in no way a happy read, it was a good story and the writing is phenomenal - couldn't believe this was his debut novel. It leaves you with a lot to think about once you finish it.

I read East of Eden (loved it!) and am 2/3 thru 1Q84. They are very different but both are fast paced and don’t feel as long as they are. Enjoy!

East of Eden is really powerful! I loved reading it with my spouse a few years ago-a great experience. I hope you enjoy it.

What buk wud u recommend don Quixote? I hope not a book of chivalry and giants😅

Stephen Colbert started reading these book at ten after the death of his father and two brothers. He is now 60 and has read them many many time enough to quote passages at will. You never have to stop reading Lord of the Rings. Monterey Bay- -Mon- ter- ray Bay hope this helps.

Ahhhh i love A Pale View!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Carolyn, May I ask if you will be restocking the bookmarks in your Etsy store? I looked for them but there was no listing for them on your shop page.

Did they already sell out?

Where did you get the Vintage Japan series? Could you please let me know the publisher so I can search better for it? I can’t find it. Thanks!

I'm so excited for East of Eden!!!! I barely read classics but this book was my favorite book of the year so far so I really think you're going to love it 💖💖
