Here’s my latest book review that has gone live on YouTube. My god, what bleakness. If you can’t be bothered watching, I wrote about it in this post.
Long and short of it was that I thought Cathy was a cow and I couldn’t wait for Heathcliff to hurry up and die already.
I schedule my reviews to go live every Monday morning. Books that come after this one are:
- Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray by Anita Heiss
- Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
From Austen, I jumped straight to reading Anti-Fragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb as I go through and read his entire collection. It was a bit of a cognitive jump to go from Austen to Taleb but so it goes, in the words of Kurt Vonnegut.
They will all go live over the next month.

“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen is Ione of my favourite books so I look forward to that review. I’ve read Wuthering Heights and although it’s not one of my favourite classics I did enjoy it over all. Off to watch your video review of it.

Thank you. I’m so glad I read Pride & Prejudice. I didn’t love it as much as Jane Eyre but I still liked it. I’m glad it quashed the assumptions I had about the writing of Jane Austen. I shot a review of this book yesterday (but won’t go live until early July as I stagger my reviews aiming for one book a week).
