I just finished the Pillow book as well and it was very interesting, for sure. I look forward to seeing your discussion with Classics and company.
I'm glad you enjoyed The Pillow Book too! It was a lot of fun to get a slice of that period and its culture.
I like those covers from the Alexandria Quartet (you showed them before) - I know that’s not a reason to go out and buy them (I’d be real deep in the hole if I did for every well-designed book I saw on BookTube).
I’ve been curious about _The Leopard_ for a long time.
I know - I'd be in financial ruin if I picked up a copy of every nice-looking edition I saw on BookTube!
Did I hear little Stevina talking in the background at one point?
Yes you did. I think what you heard there was a nap-time protesation!
I think Nostromo might be the greatest novel in English of the twentieth century.
I really liked Nostromo. I'm hoping to reread it soon.
Hello Aaron
I’m a new subscriber and I have a question for you. Which edition(s) of Shakespeare collections do you own? Thanks 😊
Hi Denise, thanks for subscribing! The main Shakespeare I have is the 3rd edition of the Norton Shakespeare. I've also got a couple of individual volumes from Oxford World Classics, as well as a free edition on my Kindle.
@aaronfacer thank you.
@@ddallons63 no problem 😊
