yep and we're here for it lol XD
'the russians had a lot to say' is a summary of russian literature in general, not just the one book
and not just books
fat shaming a book I see âïž
To be fair, Russian is often far more efficient than English when it comes to how many words it takes to say things, but even considering that, Russian classic literature does tend to be weighty.
Jack uses his degree to effortlessly weave pop culture references and corny jokes into his speech and I honestly admire that.
Perfectly summed up. I mean he made me start reading books which was impooooossible.

Here's an interesting fact...
The Telltale Heart is narratorated entirely in first person, and the gender of the speaker is never revealed. It's always assumed to be a man, but it COULD technically be a woman. Rereading the story from the perspective of a female narrator gives an interesting new perspective on the classic tale.
I've read it and assumed it was a woman. Lol
oooooohhhh how interesting! I think I listened to an audiobook once where it was narrated by a man so always thought it was a man in my head - looove this though and will definitely be rereading!!

1:49 Lisa is definitely very traumatised by the books that she reads that neither of her parents have the intelligence, time, awareness, or wherewithal to realise are totally inappropriate for their child to read. Just because a child can read an adult book, that doesnât mean that they should.
the writters would have done it on purpose, not for the point your saying i dont think but bc the simpsons is inappropriate in general, they have always been contraversial and take risks to be seen as that. But i defs agree with your point if this was a real family!! and not written to make heads turn!
literally my life when I was 9-12đ
Yep... My friend read Fifty Shades of Grey when she was eleven because she heard it was an "adult book" and was like "well, kid's books are too easy, so I'll read the adult book". She wrote her college essay about how it traumatized her lol
My favourite book as a six year old was White Fang and I'm sure that affected me somehow...

"my compliments to the chef, which was me" IâM DED
emily dickinson did have a few poems published during her life, but it was against her will (she sent them to friends as gifts occasionally and they were so good that they put them in the newspaper)
Fun fact: Emily Dickinsonâs sister, and I believe her publisher, took the poems they found wrapped in twine AND REARRANGED THEM. They did NOT leave her work in the original order that Emily wrote it in. From what I remember learning about her in university, it was a matter of how the public would like it and sell-ability that influenced this decision. So because of this if you read her work in book form there might be poems that feel like they match in theme but they arenât back to back in order. Because they were rearranged to be mixed up.
That kind of makes me mad.

The Brothers Karamazov I read not an 8 year old, but fairly young (like 13?) and I LOVED it! It went all Sherlock Holmes at the end, but had interesting characters, and... THE WISDOM THO. So I know it's a pain to read a book that long, but I can't reccommend it enough. Also there's good audiobooks on that book if you just want to listen to it. 10/10, It is my favourite of Dostoyevski.
the wisdom YES. the whole speech of Ivan about god and suffering was so touching, it was literally all of my thoughts about religion summerized.
I can't believe he "reviewed" it without reading it.
I grew up in Germany. I didn't even know that there were alternative "more child-friendly" versions of the Grimms Fairytales until I was 19 years old
so i heard that grimm fairy tales were not actually supposed to be fairy tales, but a record of every german word . . . ever.
have you heard anything like that? do you know if its true?
(not trying to assume that because your german you know everything. im an american, and i have no clue what the us involvement in ww1 was, even though we studied it for 2 weeks lol)

âiâm ready to mansplain it to you nowâ me whenever i read any wikipedia page
The Brothers Grimm didn't write the fairy tales. They collected different versions from different countries. There are plenty of clean versions of these lessons. Because that's what fairy tales were, lessons. The Grimm versions weren't the only ones out there, and Disney didn't clean up every one, they used different versions. If I'm remembering right the version of Cinderella they used was French, a much cleaner version where she gets glass slippers, a pumpkin carriage, mice who turned into horsemen, you get my point. Every culture has versions of these fairy tales, all at different degrees and with different messages. (Also fun fact I think one of the first Cinderella stories comes from Egypt? A woman's shoe went flying and hit the ruler of the area in the head. He searched for the owner of the shoe and they fell in love. Something like that.)
very worrying that that book got 4 Lisa heads though, cause so many of the princesses in that get raped or characters get fed their own children. I read those stories a lot when I was around that age ( and many others) and lord, I am still scarred
@@ramona6644 yeah. The Grimm brothers really ran with the darkest tales. Just because something is a fairy tale doesn't mean it's kid friendly in a way. Fairy tales are primarily lessons, but still
Tru, fairytales were just written to fearmonger kids into not doing something
OMG that makes so much more sense! I never understood why the stupid prince went about looking for her by people's foot
But also the Grimm brothers were German and Germany had a history of disturbing childrenâs book. (Iâm German)
In two of the most iconic childrenâs books the main Charakters get either crushed to death or set on fire. A really well known songs is about a man shooting a fox who stole a geese. There are also many short stories where just all the children die.
So in that context the Grimm stories do make sense haha
I went with an ebook version of the Karamazov Brothers and I think that helped because I never got too visceral a sense of how long it was... I tore through it fairly quickly. Worth giving it a chance seeing as you enjoyed Crime and Punishment! I really liked it.
somebody once told me that I have Lisa Simpson energy and I will never forget it
That must be the ultimate compliment!

As a German, I can tell you that we actually read or get read the Grimm Fairytales at a fairly young age so the 4 Lisa heads seem about right :]
The best moment in primary school was when my WTG teacher decided she would read random farytales to us
She didn't knew them herself and to this day I dont know if I should think this was brave or naive
Yep.
as a belgian i grew up with them from like 6 years old or younger
As a Colombian we grew up watching the anime version of them and now that I think about it, it was wild how they thought it would be appropriate to put it in tv for children to watch it just because was animated
@@jsalg6481 it is appropriate tho. people underestimate how much kids can take. they usually enjoy the traditional fairytales even when they're rlly morbid/brutal (ofc depends on the kid but this is what research says)
Jack: *I don't mean to fat shame a book but she's a MAMMOTH*
Only you, Jack, only you.
I've read The Brothers Karamazov, and I think it's pretty appropriate for a child. The act of murder isn't described in great detail and there really isn't much else that could scar a child. Whether or not they would be interested in such a long book is a different story.

I will say, in the complete works of Kurt Vonnegut, there is not one novel that doesn't contain some amount of weird sex stuff. Probably my favourite example of this is GalĂĄpagos, which contains the most sexual nuclear war ever put to paper.
Ok, now I'm curious. "Most sexual nuclear war" was a phrase I never expected to read :P
The Joy Luck Club is AMAZING. It tells the story of 4 Chinese immigrant mothers and their 4 first gen daughters, and how both generations have gone through so much pain but don't understand each other because of the different cultures and struggles they grew up with. Each character's story is incredibly powerful and memorable. It's been a while since I last read it, but I'd give it 3 Lisa heads đ
The book is okayish (But I honestly didnât enjoy the book that much since they didnât wrap up the 3 other arcs of the women) thereâs only one complete arc for me (perhaps maybe 2 Lisa heads)
@@sophiagonzales8974 honestly thatâs one of the reasons I liked it because it would be unrealistic if all the daughters had this happy ending where they could perfectly understand their culture/mom
@@kythe8150 Iâm not saying that having this ending is a bad thing or if itâs one just one girl but like the other girls donât really have a conclusion eg: Waverly Jong and the mother pressuring off her chess tournaments, ying with the I threw baby in the water and one of the other girls which I donât remember off. Iâm not trying to say that itâs bad to have sad endings itâs just that the others donât feel wrapped up or are open ended that isnât done properly.
@@sophiagonzales8974 yeah no I see what you mean because it did kinda annoy me how Waverly barely made any progress as a character

Love Lisaâs book choices! Iâm guessing the How to Cook Humans book is a spoof off of The Twilight Zone and the episode âTo Serve Manâ where we get the horrible twist at the end of âitâs a cookbookâ đ§âđł so definitely child appropriate
âYou can always tell British people by our teethâ *flashes beautiful smile*
I read Grimms fairytales when I was 8. I loved them but I also loved books like Struwwelpeter ("educational" German short stories where kids e.g. light themselves on fire, fall into a well and always die), so don't trust my taste.
I did as well (fellow German here) so Id go ahead and say dont trust any of our tastes there we have quite a strange relationship with child appropriate content (krampus yey 2nd Harry Potter the worst thing imagineable; Go real footage of literal corpse piles from KZs but you better not show pupils any film that is in the slightest rated above FSK 6
Yeah, I grew up with them too. But I think we all read a heavily censored and more child-appropriate version.
omg I read the Strubelpeter too as a child (about 5 years old), and i have to say i'm still a little bit scared of that book 15 years later.
As an adult I am a huge fan of Hannibal TV series, and I recently remembered that one of my favorite fairtales as a child had cannibalistic component to it (a boy and a dragon fly on a dangerous adventure, dragon gets exhausted and hungry (and landing is not an option for some reason), so the boy cuts off the piece his flesh and feeds it to the dragon).
Like what?!
Funny how those stories didnt scar me for life same with Wilhelm Busch with his stories like Max & Moritz for example
I love how he never misses a chance to say how Wilbur shouldn't be given all the credit
As someone who read The Joy Luck Club in High School, I promise you wonât regret reading it. It was probably one of my favorite books I read in High School.
