    Chekov is a genius. The duell is my favorite novel of him.

    Enjoyed your 'reading' your books to me that I don't have room for on my shelf. Some make me jealous that I can't have, like Checkov and Hurakami. Rushdie reminds there's something wrong with me that I can't read him. I'm reading Charlotte Bronte's The Professor and am perfectly happy but I might enjoy your 'reading' it to me in some future end of month roundup..

      Rushdie is one of those writers that readers are either going to love or hate, His books are multilayered and complex and can become confusing. Then mix in magical realism and you've got to decide if he's worth the effort or not. I've read most of his books and have to admit there were a few that I struggled to finish.

    House of sleeping beauties got my attention since the title 😮

    Great reviews! Many I have not heard of. This is one of the reasons that I love your channel. Is there a reason why you don't state whether or not you enjoyed the books? (Langston Hughes and Percival Everett. .yay!) Thank you

      Thanks for your comment. There really is no reason why I don't say how much I enjoyed the books. This whole thing about talking about the books I've read is new for me but I found that if I'm going to have a book tube channel I'm going to have to try to say something about them. I think I surprised my kids, they were expecting to see a bumbling old man just rambling. I agree with you about Hughes and Everett.

    I really enjoyed this video, but was disappointed you didnt share your personal experience/opinion with these books. Mostly "colorless" i read that a few years ago and enjoyed it but to be honest would have trouble explaining why.
    Looking forward to the next one. Happy reading!

    Soon be at 600 subscribers. Best wishes with what you are reading. I'm currently on the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time!

      Thanks. I've been at this for about a year now and I really didn't expect to get many subscribers so 600 seems like a lot to me. I just checked out your channel and it looks like you're gaining subscribers too. Enjoy Count of Monte Cristo, it's a book I read many years ago but then most of the books I talk about are ones I read many years ago.
