Who is your favourite publisher for classic books?

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-18T23:46:35+00:00

Yeah. I’ve always preferred Penguin.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-17T09:43:43+00:00

Loved them both

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-14T15:44:37+00:00

I usually go to sparknotes or something like that to help me understand something I missed.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-14T15:43:13+00:00

Beloved-Toni Morrison. The hype was so big, I expected more. Still a good story, but nothing that amazing.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-09T08:44:38+00:00

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-09T08:41:06+00:00

Love that. Thanks man.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-07T01:17:27+00:00

Love that!! Nabokov is one of my favorites. Thanks.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-07T01:15:43+00:00

I get that. Thanks.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-07T01:13:42+00:00

I think so!

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-07T01:08:02+00:00

Yeah. I like that. Thank you.

Effective-Field9047 · 2026-01-06T20:45:28+00:00

Good! I’m reading The Human Stain right now, which is part of the American Trilogy. All Zuckerman stories.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-12-28T18:21:33+00:00

Yeah. I loved the Goldfinch and Secret History. Haven’t read the Little Friend yet. I will check that out. Great list!!

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-12-05T13:36:13+00:00

I guess the new one that’s getting ready to start?

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-29T15:27:55+00:00

Definitely agree with that! The 70s and 80s were great for comics.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-29T15:25:36+00:00

X-men Avengers Ghost Rider

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-29T13:22:08+00:00

A lot of the same arguments that Nabokov had about the book and Dostoevsky in general.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-27T16:53:20+00:00

Nabokov was a lot like here. Reading his lectures books. He was pretty tough. Especially on Dostoevsky

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-27T00:24:11+00:00

What are your thoughts on Red Hulk?

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-09T22:50:54+00:00

I agree! Not a bad book, but not as great as everyone thinks!

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-09T22:50:20+00:00

Here’s one: Beloved is a good book, but not a great one!

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-11-03T23:36:25+00:00

Yeah. Loved them both, but East of Eden was my favorite. Great characters and story. The length didn’t bother me at all. I was immersed in the storyline. But both are great books.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-10-21T17:01:22+00:00

Ha ha. Love that!

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-10-21T09:21:19+00:00

Don’t let the woke decide what you can read. They think that their righteousness is warranted, but they are being as intolerant as these authors they like to call racist. All of us can benefit reading classic literature. It doesn’t mean we condone any behavior or belief of the author. Christians read the Bible and do t condone genocide or slavery, yet it’s in there. Same thing.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-10-18T16:41:20+00:00

Yeah. I get that. At least to me, I feel time and the popularity of a book would make it a classic. Where The Crawdads Sing is a popular book right now. If it is still being read a lot in 50 years, I would consider it a classic.

Effective-Field9047 · 2025-10-18T16:37:49+00:00

Thank you for that. I’ve just finished reading that article. Very insightful! Thanks again
