BABE WAKE UP JOHN DARNIELLE REVIEWED ANOTHER BOOK
"...It's two in the morning! Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
John, I could listen to you talk ALL DAY LONG. Thank you for existing. Every time I see you live I start crying because your music has touched my soul so much.
Thank you, John Darniell, for telling me about a book.
Yes please
John, you are an international treasure. With your warmth and curiosity I would happily sit and listen to whatever strikes your fancy this week. Thank you for sharing a bit of your day with the internet.
John you are my favorite person
"Life is a bundle of happiness, which when opened is full of suffering." I might have circled this with gusto. A few times.
Thank you! If you ever felt like recommending a book, and then discussing it on a livestream after we've all read it that would be a ton of fun. We could contribute in the chat that way. In any case, thank you for all you do!
🐉
Just finished two of your books and I was wondering to myself what might you recommend, and here you are, doing just that. Thank you.
Love this. Also love the Last Pomegranate Tree. Thanks for escaping the hellsite and keeping the videos!
i learned the definition of sublunary yesterday!
the vibes are immaculate as always
good to see you! be well
Joined Sublunary's mailing list ❤. I enjoy this series.
For the love of God, please keep making these.
Awesome, sounds a bit like Borges or Calvino. Off to browse that Empyrean Series, thank you.
Was gonna say the same thing
Digging these overviews.
I just read volume one of Maus yesterday, and I feel like I need a hug and some Kurt Vonnegut.
I'm so happy you found this treasure! It's one of my all time favorites. Sending virtual hugs though, you're right that it's a tough one.
@@AuthFailed You interested in graphic novels that'll rip your guts out? Have you read When the Wind Blows (or seen the animation that's essentially the exact same)? Oh, I so recommend it. It's not a true story of one of human history's grandest horrors, but it is pretty sad in its own right. I don't normally read graphic novels, but I appreciate a great one.
@@Pandidolod I’m interested in anything that will rip my guts out! but particularly books and music (hi John). Thanks so much for the recommendation! I’ll for sure check it out!
I read The Gospel of Orla on your recommendation, absolutely outstanding companion for jury duty (as in my case) or also not jury duty.
i am looking forward to reading Fragments From a Found Notebook!! Anti-intellectualism is not only silly, but also dangerous as it leads to people stunting their own critical thinking, making them more vulnerable to being manipulated or exploited!
Good literature is METAL as FUCK
I started reading One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello. I've been working on a series about Neal Cassady that takes a Rashomon like approach as to who he really was (Dean Moriarty, N.C., Cowboy Neal etc) and while I'm on strike figured I'd read something out of the traditional Beat genre that deals with that same kind of thing. I'd only read "Six Characters..." previously but am really getting a lot out of this.
Started that one and was very interested in reading but it was so dense I got bogged down 😢
Heya John, could you please come by Texas, I'd love to go to a live concert of yalls, yet I can't go out of state since I'm still in school and all. I want to try for Oklahoma, but not sure, anyway that would mean a lot, and keep goin, your music and vids are amazing, love the sunset tree album
Hey John, great review, youve turned me onto soke great literature over the years. Wanted to comment on your mention of The Dusty Bookshelf in Lawrence. I've been a regular there for years as it's where I went to college. I'm curious how connected The Mountains Goats are to Lawrence since I also know about "Rot, Rock and Rule" a project of Mountain Goats drummer Jon Wurster which was said to be broadcasted out of Lawrence.
YOUR BOOKMARK IS STILL ALIVE?!??!?! (1:30 in the video)
I have a 2-sided keychain where one side is a spotify link to the best ever death metal band, and on the other is the quote "I'm preemptively distraught about the demise of my bookmark" because of just how much I love that quote!
I'm aware of how pathetic this might sound, but I genuinely feel good about you still having that bookmark. It may be "dog-eared", but it's *THE* bookmark!!!
This book kind of sounds similar to Stanislaw Lem’s “Memoirs Found in a Bathtub”
Bro looks like Serj Tankian
Cool
Has anyone read Kokoro by Natsume Soseki? It was one of the books which really drilled home the importance of literary translation for me.
Will there be another season of "I only listen to the Mountain Goats"?
Maybe a "I only read books recommended by John Danielle of the Mountain Goats"?
@@JapanoiseBreakfast imagine someone asks what podcasts you listen to and your first answer is "Well, there's this folk-rock band, the lead singer of which used to have a podcast about the band, but now he has used a similar naming structure for a podcast recommending book!"
I wouldn't do this, but I think most ppl would just back away slowly😅. I'd simply ask to hear more!
Kind of off topic but I think you a song about the Ninja Turtles
Have you read any Phillip K. Dick? I recently read through his Library of America collection, and found it a very profound experience. He finds a way to make the plot, the characters, and the setting mean very little, serving only as a vassal for him to ask questions outright, and the more important questions which cannot be described in English speech.
A thing I like about Dick is that his stories are really at their best when you kind of squint at them a little; like the themes and plot go through their own character arcs.
I think that's part of why adaptations of his work are often so successful, because in adaptation you need to bring across the shape the story takes more so than the fine details.
