Hey, a book I recommend is "The Humming Bird-Madness in Crescendo". It's EPIC. there is action, romace, passion, songs, dances ...took me in a completly different world and I loved it! I am recomeding it to people. The authors are new and very talented so I support them! They have a facebook page called "ThedeWardinSisters" and they made an AMAZING trailer which is on youtube (if you type The humming bird the de Wardin sisters, you find it) you can see the tango in the end which is awesome!
Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, Glamorama, & Imperial Bedrooms some of my favorites by Bret Easton Ellis besides American Psycho. I have to return some videotapes....
Dostoyevsky is AMAZING! If you like his style I would 100% recommend Crime and Punishment. If you are into dramatic misery it is totally worth it. But you can't go wrong with The Brothers Karamazov either.
@dylanparker72 So funny you wrote these recommendations, 1984 is one of my favorite books, I am reading Wives and Daughters right now and just bought a George Eliot book the other day! I have Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway in my to-read pile at home too! :D <33
@dylanparker72 yeah that's what I meant in my videos! I think because they were around around the same time (vaguely) people always lump them together but they are sooo different! :) xx
@dylanparker72 I still love her books! Persuasion has some more depth than her other books (it's my favorite of hers) but I don't think you can compare her to the Brontes who write about passion and losing control in such a gripping way...
ah, i love your channel and your taste in make up and clothes. and now hearing you love the bronte sisters. wow! so i just ordered three books that you mentioned in this video. so excited! :D and before i watched your hedy lamarr tutorial, i was actually thinking that you looked a bit like her in your old videos, haha. Hope you will post some new videos from london soon. take care. loves from germany. x
I love your book choices! I'm sad to say this but i haven't been reading much in 2010. I still have Christopher Isherwood's "A Single Man" on my desk and it's about time I do some seirous reading! I love Jane eyre, Tess of the d'Urbervilles. You should read "Less than Zero" by Bret Easton Ellis, I belive it was his first and I love the whole cynical and detached look on Los angeles filthy-spoilt teens!
Hmm, I'm not sure that it's fair to compare J. Austen to the Brontes in terms of emotional depth. Austen's books are really social satire under a veneer of a romantic comedy and that has a very different kind of depth. In other words, she really was quite another type of writer. Thanks for the vid, I'm going to check out the Levy book :)!
@TheRubyFeline That's kind of what I meant – people (who aren't like, literature students or avid readers) generally lump the Brontes and Jane Austen together, while like I said in the video, I prefer the Brontes more intense emotional styles but Jane Austen is very entertaining in a different way, she is easier to read and has a lighthearted way about her that the Brontes... don't. Haha! Sorry to be confusing! Hope you like Levy's book! xx
@denizandmakeup That's true, I guess much of British literature from 1700 and 1800s is lumped together in many people minds. I usually prefer the lighter books with an intellectual twist as reading the emotionally charged ones leaves me brooding for days mired in the atmosphere, reeling from the experience. I guess I let too much in :D, but how can one not? Haha! definitely do a feminism books vid please. Thanks!
Hi YTer The Lipstick Diaries referred me to you about cranberry eyeshadow, but got sidetracked
If you like classic love st, try Painted Veil by Somerset Maugham. Books on subjugation of women, try The Awakening by Kate Chopin and The Doll House by Henrik Ibsen. One of favorite contemporary books is the Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux. When I was in high school, I love Thomas Hardy books. I got my undergraduate degree in literature. Oh- one more..The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir.
Lovely video! If you liked Dostoevsky and you enjoy social commentary, I recommend Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. Yeah, it's a huge brick and it took me months to get through, but it's so good. I have to say, I read Catcher in the Rye and Wuthering Heights when I was younger and didn't like either of them. :P But I've told myself I should reread them now to get a different perspective. American Psycho was crazy, but great, haha. :)
@lazyhazycrazy Its funny you should say that, I started reading Anna Karenina a few years ago when I was about 15 and I didn't like it. Cant remember if i finished it, I think it might have gone over my head a little bit, but I will definitely give it another chance! Social commentary FTW! :D You should deffo give Catcher in the Rye and Wuthering Heights new chances! Amazing books, both of them :) xx
@theresabmcintyre its so good isnt it? such a progressive book! and the beauté lip creme is one of my absolute HG reds, its soo beautiful and luxurious!
@Infinitude dude you have no idea what you have brought upon yourself!! I am going to use this request to make like a 15 minute rant video now haha :P
You are my all-time hero right now. I found I was actually talking AT the computer like a crazy person saying things like "Yeah girl!" and "Straight up Austen is overrated!" God my mom thought I was losing it as she walked by.
After watching this, the things I want to say would probably take up about 3 entire comment boxes.
I'll just say you are amazing and I favorited this. Next time I go to the library I'll walk in with my laptop and have you there telling me what to check out!
i love alllll~ the books you mentioned. i am such a classic literature freak. the high school i chose to go to is a high school based on literature and creative writing. i am obsessed.
Mansfield Park is my favorite by Jane Austen.
as far as modern literature goes you should check out The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. it's a brilliant memoir. i don't like much modern fiction tbh.
@puppiesarekawaii Oh man, one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone is like "I love reading!" And then talks about Twilight. Twilight is not literature. It is the WORST! haha.
I will definitely check out that book :) Thanks for the rec!
cont'd...Bell Jar. Also love FIght Club and A Psycho, we just have crazy similar taste. I studied/love feminism too. There's a book you would love pub'd by Virago called The Dud Avocado, you would like that I think. I would like to purchase the fan ring now if thats ok, how do I go about it? You rock, glad we're friends, hope you feel the same or I will look like an ass. Love D XOXO
@daisynation I know exactly what you mean! I identify with a lot of the Brontës female characters (and not so much with Austens – although Elizabeth Bennet is seriously an incredible character) I am so glad we share so many favorite books! I am adding The Dud Avocado to my to-buy list for sure. And I am so glad we are friends too :) You are awesome Daisy! The very best! Oh, and I reactivated the fan ring for you now, so buy it when you like :)
I also like Chuck Palahniuk very much, I read fight could when I was 14 and I still tell people who like the film to read the book! I've wanted to read Invisible Monsters since then but never got round to it.
I wish I could get through a Jane Austen! My dyslexia makes it difficult for me to read, I'm ok (but still slow) with most modern things, but older writers I find very heavy and make my brain hurt if I read a couple of pages :(
@IndigoOptimist I love the movie! It is one of my favorite films of all times :D It sucks that your dyslexia hinders you from reading Jane Austen. When I was younger and some books were too verbose and difficult for me to read I found listening to audio books much easier. I know the language isn't the problem for you and it is just the practicality that is stopping you but perhaps it is something you could try if you haven't already? They are so good and it sucks you are missing out! :) xx
@denizandmakeup I loved audiobooks when was younger and I was htinking that when I get my car up and running I could listen to them on longer journeys when I go to see my family :)
This was like a list of my fav books, no kidding. I don't know a couple of them but I was open-mouthed when I read the list and I was like, tick! tick! tick!. I agree with a lot of what you said about the Brontes versus Austen. They are diff types of girls for sure. There will always be a part of me that feels like the little Jane inside, but I've got parts of Kathy and tess in me too. O God-hope I'm not doomed! My dad's a Hardy freak. I have lost count of the number of times I read Catcher.....
You should do book reviews! I'm definitely adding Wuthering Heights, The House of the Dead and Invisible Monsters on my reading list! I recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood since you're interested in feminism! It's one of my favorites along with Island by Aldous Huxley :D
Thank you so much for the video, I truly enjoyed it. Invisible monsters is ONE of my all time favorite books and I agree its rather hard to explain. And I do enjoy the classics. I feel like they are under appreciated because we were forced to read them in high school. And I'm dying to read Jane Eyre but I have piles and piles of books to read lol. So I shall refrain until I've read through some of my books.
@ilive2hurtu youre welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it! I was actually never made to read any of the classics at school (which says a lot about my ghetto school, haha) so I always wanted to self-educate myself through reading :) And I bet you will love Jane Eyre. So progressive for its time. Just... pure genius.
Love your channel! Since you were talking about feminism, have you maybe read "The Feminine Mystique"? If so would you recommend it?
