Things you don’t know about this video: I think Mary Shelley and I would’ve been great friends. Also I’ve bought (even) more books since filming this video, like Bolaño’s 2666

I just came to say I also love Manben!! All of NHK’s content is amazing and entertaining and so fun but that show is really special. There are so many good shows on that app!
Just writing here to back you up on the love of Tove Jansson, all her work – drawings and writings. I love her adult prose, and was very fascinated by Moomins when I was a child. I have her beautifully illustrated biography by Tuula Karjalainen “Tove Jansson. Work and Love”, I think you might like that book.
So great you read classics. I read Tolstoy and Gogol at middle/high school (obligatory), so there was not much understanding really. Now I am faced with the wish to reread these and some others, but at the same time, with my “inner child” resentment to do that.
Pausing this video to say, if you think moving homes with a book collection is hard, having a book and record collection will make you rethink whether you really even want to leave your place, lol… It's a privilege and an honor to be able to fill a home with the art and media you love though, so I'm not complaining one bit
As a Russian and a Language and Literature graduate, I am so glad Russian classic novels find their audience in you, Fran. So please, don't be ashamed of pronouncing russian names wrong, it's completely fine for a non-russian speaker. Actually, Nabokov wrote "Lolita" in English and then translated it into Russian, and the fun fact is that he actually got a lot of the realia wrong and messed the book up with this translation. Also, "Lolita" is not an easy book to read, and the main point is quite opposite to the movie depiction (false narrative moment), so I would recommend you also to read his other novel – "Pnin" about a Russian professor in America, it's really entertaining and deserves more recognition.
genial EDENA!!! moebius es un crack!!
Hello Fran! I have been following your work for almost a decade, you are one of my biggest inspirations. But as a Ukrainian, I am very sad to see how you popularize Russian culture. This action creates the idea that russians can be tolerated. But russia is a terrorist country and its citizens support or ignore the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
I just fell in love
So the French pronunciation is Annie "Erno" ("aux"is always pronounced "o") and Alexandre Dumas is pronounced Dumà (very closed "u" and accent on the a, the "s" is silent) 🙂
Nice and easy to understand science fiction book is Mickey 7. Amazing book that recommend to you
Junji se pronuncia "Yunyi"
Moebius dibujaba también, westerns , bajo su verdadero nombre: Jean Giraud. Su obra maestra fue El Teniente Blueberry.
Is this a booktube Era?❤
Hi, Fran, thanks for your books recommendations! I am from Ukraine and I was very pleased to see our writer Gogol among the recommended ones. In Ukraine, Gogol's novels and short stories are included in the school curriculum. If you get a chance, please take a look at his collection of short stories, called "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka". These stories are a mixture of humor, ancient mythology of Gogol's homeland, and horror. I'm pretty sure that they should be published as comics one day)))
Entiendo taaaanto eso de "no comprar cosas porque estoy en modo me mudo pronto" y ahora que, al fin siento que estoy en mi casita de largo plazo, la horda de cosas que quiero coleccionar (con un tantito de autocontrol de consumismo consciente) esta ACTIVEITED <3 y como dijo Greta Gerwig "Home is a Home when you han books you actually have'd read in it"
thanks for this video ! I really liked your microphone
i love that you are venturing so much into Russian literature!!!! i was shocked when you called Nabokov by his first name! haha i grew up in russia and we never called any writers by the first name it was almost like heresy!
Not exactly related but does someone knows which microphone she’s using 🥺

So glad to see someone read the classics. I always feel slightly embarrassed about not gravitating to it. But who knows. So cool. Also seeing if I can learn French but also creole.
Take care.

I am native Russian and I can't dismiss that the Leo's novel is translated incorrectly from Russian into other languages. In Russian language words "world" and "peace" are the same. This is why the most people think that the novel's name is "War and Peace", when it's "War and World".
Thank you for posting up what you're reading. I always like to get inspiration for what to read next. I totally relate with what you said about keeping up with names and terminology when reading sci-fi. It's hard to keep up sometimes. I just sort of accept that its not completely going in at first and just let the words wash over me. They do tend to cement themselves in with more of the story. Though I do think it depends on where your head is at the time, at least it is for me, and perhaps whether the story is resonating. I'd definitely recommend Rendezvous with Rama and Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke. I loved the Earthsea books by Ursula which is more fantasy but *shrugs*. Two of my absolute favourite books of all time though are KPAX by Gene Brewer and Contact by Carl Sagan, which talk about the universe and space but also what it means to be human. Just mentioning them here is making me want to reread them.
I don't read much science fiction, so Dune was a challenge for me too, but I found that if I just kept reading and didn't put pressure on myself to remember everything, I enjoyed it more and understood more. Remember that there will be no test at the end and it's okay not to remember or understand every little thing 🙂
Por favor sigue haciendo book hauls y reviews, Fran!
I remember i tried to do some of the rory gilmore Girls reading list too ! I think i still have "The amazing adventures of kavalier and clay" on my kindle. Not finished but enjoyable. And about Gilmore Girls hugs, it's so true
I ordered Sabrina and Acting Class by Nick Drnaso right away!😊 Thanks so much Fran for the inspiration✨
