    In this video, I read and review every book that Joe recommends in the popular Netflix series You. There were a few books I couldn't get my hands on and a few I had already read, but this covers a majority of the books Joe recommends to Paco, Candace, Ellie.

      Hi well Ik I’m late but some piece of advice is always useful! So especially if you’re not a native speaker (for example I’m not so I mispronounce words etc) you can search for the audiobook. There are some audiobooks in CZcams too. Ik many books are not here but it has helped me a lot just listening to the book and looking at it at the same time! If you have to read it and you’re left behind, you can put it on speed 1.25 ! Hope I helped!

I still manage to finish a 1000 page book in 8 to 9 days ( I have classes for 4 days in a week) during one hour plus trip from home to campus and also from campus to home. (My transport is LRT thus making the trip that long)
      My bad habit at reading is I seldom read the same book again in the same year. I might return to the same book when I have the mood
      So I might forget 40 to 70% of the content a month since I finished the book.

    - I have been cheated. Through no fault of my own (totally my fault) I ordered an abridged copy of The Count of Monte Cristo--the real one, as some of you have kindly pointed out, is much longer. I will remedy this fault by reading the unabridged version in due time. In my defense, it just said "Mass Market Paperback" when I ordered and nothing about being abridged! Those scoundrels...
    - I did miss a few books. These were books I either had already read (Frankenstein) or couldn't get my hands on in time (Desperate Characters), try though I might.

      Lux Arcadia Don Quixote is definitely the transcription of Spanish “don Quijote”, so it should be easy to read for english speakers (if English makes more sense) 😉

    I did enjoy this video, and I was amazed by the way you got through so many books so quickly, it pained me hearing you say Don Quixote. It was differnet every single time, yet never right.

    After watching this video I immediately went to the library to get Don Quixote checked out (before the pandemic) and even though it took me about 2 months to finish it, I just read the ending today and cried because of how much I loved the book. Thank you so much for the recommendation!!! It's probably also my favorite work of fiction, truly life-changing.

    When you were talking about reading as a kid, it took me BACK. I used to stay up late finishing books and be so tired the next morning but also be so excited to
    start the next. I might not do something as extreme as this but definitely going to start reading again

    i have really been struggling with my mental health recently. and this video popped up. and of course because it was related to YOU by Caroline Kepnes i had to see look. I read YOU in three days with no sleep. aha It is one of my favourite books. I loved how excited and smilie you were when talking about the books. It was infectious and now all i want to do is read. Thank you for making this video. ^^ (P.S. i agree you do kind of look like Joe).
