This video was originally 60 min long, I had to cut down every clip of me saying “this is good as fuck,” because there were a lot of them hahaha.
There was a whole chunk of me going into Vasily Grossman as a person, writer, veteran, etc., but it was a bit too much for this video. Members, if you want it I will upload 🤔And idgaf 😭 #bookValentina2024-08-07 | ...read in summerValentina2024-08-01 | Is August still considered summer???

This video is my current situation and as you can see, i’ve only started multiple books at once but i’m kind of reading one at a time. The other day I read some SH5 bc it was in my purse while i was in a waiting room. If i know i dont feel like finishing a book i just stop reading it. It honestly depends on different aspects of the books too. Sometimes.

It struck me because that was actually how I had felt after a few encounters with his work.
In this video I provide a brief timeline of D’s life, work, and my personal journey with him that is long from over.
