One of the BEST BOOKS Ive ever read Life on Books 2025-08-06 | This is one of the best books I've ever read.Imagine if Edgar Allen Poe wrote Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky, and you would have this book.It's a Posthumous Confession by Marcellus Emants, translated by Novel Prize winner author JM Coetzee, and published by the fine folks over at @nyrbooks It's a bit surprising that I loved this book so much, given that it was written in the late 1800s, and I typically read and love books from the 20th century.If you like dark, brooding, and nihilistic books that are stacked with moral questions and philosophical ambiguity, then this book is for you.Get a copy of the book here:amzn.to/45jICNo

Check out our resource online:https://linktw.in/ZeoltyWant to know my all time favorite books? Click the link below!bookshop.org/shop/lifeonbooksFollow me on Instagram:instagram.com/alifeonbooksInfinite Jest is one of the most controversial books of the modern era of literature. Published in 1996, this gargantuan novel was only the second novel David Foster Wallace had written.While critics say that the book is unnecessarily long, overly self indulgent, or just plain boring, many readers who actually attempt, and complete Infinite Jest become lifelong fans of the book.In this video, I'm exploring all of the things that make Infinite Jest a great book. This isn't going to be at traditional book review where I do a deep dive on the book's themes, its strengths and its short comings. Instead I'll be focusing on all of the very unique things that make Infinite Jest what it is: A landmark work that is unlike anything that came before it, or anything that has been written since. Thanks to @RickBeato for the inspiration on this style of content!#DavidFosterWallace #infinitejest #literature

The 3 Hardest Books of all Time & How to Read Them Life on Books 2025-07-21 | How to read difficult books: A complete guide...Okay on a serious note, in our modern lives we have an unending stream of information available to us. For readers, this can be a wonderful way to connect with other readers, find out about new and interesting books, and of course, do deep dives on critical analysis.Almost every "classic" from the Greeks to the 21st century now has a mountain of peripheral writing and education to go along with it.There's no doubt that reading guides, lectures, podcasts, and the like have made these works more accessible and understandable for many readers.HOWEVER...A trend I've seen popping up over and over again is paralysis by analysis. Folks who spend a lot of time investigating which works they should read before the book they actually want to read, or searching obsessing over the best translations, or committing hours to reading reviews of guides to assess which is the best one, or sometimes, simply just being too intimidated by a book to pick it up.But consider for a moment that when challenging books like James Joyce's Ulysses, or Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow were published, there was no internet.Most people simply walked into a store, saw these books sitting on a shelf, thought they sounded interesting, and took them home to read.I'm not saying that you shouldn't use reading guides, or do any leg work, but you should at least take care to not let these things get in the way of your reading, and to accept the fact that you might not understand most of what you read on the first pass.Most great books are meant to be read more than once anyway.

Are These Books Worth Keeping? HUGE Book Unhaul Life on Books 2025-07-14 | Sometimes you look around and you realize, you've just got too many books. Now I know that "reading books and collecting books are two different things," but I'm not a book collector, I'm a reader and a reviewer. Having a lot of books on hand is really convenient whenever I want to do something beyond book reviews, like make a short film about reading, or make a video about the best books in a specific genre or category, etc... but ultimately, there's only so much time in the day, and space in my home, so I have to start being more particular about the books I keep on my shelves.In this book unhaul, there is a pretty mixed bag of books, everything from narrative nonfiction and history, to modern fiction, and some classic literature.Which of these would you hang on to?Join our book club!patreon.com/LifeonBooksJoin the Life on Books mailing list to stay up to date on all of our latest book giveaways, projects, and more!https://linktw.in/BRYAnVhWant to read one book from every country?
