No. . . I still find notation unnecessary
I can pause and cature the moment and take my time reading the novel without the need for notations they are just the sign of been over analytical
Reading is the one time my mind switches off 📚📖
This brightens my world. Thank you.
ОтветитьI find film adaptations of classics generally woefully inadequate. The details of the story are rarely captured. The rare exception was the film adaptation of TO Kill a Mockingbird. Gregory Peck was magnificent at capturing Atticus' character.
ОтветитьSuch an interesting video! Thank you Tristan! You have helped me appreciate the classics after a hiatus of (oh, so many) years.
How can i join the book club?
An excellent video, Tristan, as always. I've been annotating books since I was a teenager, and I rarely read a book without a pen in my hand. I just wish the margins were larger!
ОтветитьYou deserve all good sir your help is incredibly so good 🎉
ОтветитьI just discovered Tristan recently and happily found out that he has a countless videos. I hope I never run out of his videos to watch.
ОтветитьHow do you like that book, How to read literature like a professor by Thomas Foster?
ОтветитьMore of this, please!!!!
ОтветитьGood God...don't read a book like a professor! Good books by good authors are not written for professors. They're written for normal people. Please...be normal!
ОтветитьI've read that passage about the houses looking down into Jaggers' office before and loved it. However, lingering over it with you has elevated the experience immensely. Seriously, thank you!
ОтветитьThis was really helpful! Thank you, Tristan
ОтветитьExcellent video! I found this video so helpful and informative. I tend to gloss over the books I read, but the annotation advice in this video will help me get a much better understanding of what I’m reading. Thank you, thank you.
ОтветитьI keep watching this over and over again. So useful!!
ОтветитьYou are spot on. I have to dissect everything I read in order to get anything out of it. It actually made reading much more fun. Thank you for this video.
Ответить"Your experience is what you bring to it". The result of this is that when I read "East of Eden" which is now my favorite book of all time, I saw for the first time the potential for evil within a family, something, that up to that time had never occurred to me.
ОтветитьTristan is right:
"Intilegens is heihlee oberaided"
This video has changed the game for me
ОтветитьDrift off? Unlikely, not when you're lecturing. Save it? Yes, so I can watch (get the drift), watch again to 'set it' in my mind and then watch again and make some notes so that the content is fully consolidated and present with me when I read.
ОтветитьHere's a tip: DON'T. professors ruin most people's enjoyment of literature. They have tunnel vision and political blinders. Their goal is not enjoyment.
ОтветитьWow! Excellent video. I’ve seen most of your videos, and I feel like I’m getting a graduate course in literature. Thank you, Kristan, keep them coming.
ОтветитьHow vital is literary analysis to an aspiring writer? For example, if I'm the architect of my own world and make my own deliberate choices, how much does it matter how deeply I can interpret a text?
ОтветитьBetween this channel and Thomas C. Foster, I think I've attained at least an associate's degree in English Lit.
ОтветитьThank you from across the pond, if I could give you 5 thumbs up I would
You are an international treasure 😊
Yes I will share the video with friends.
ОтветитьHe may make this point further in the video, but to take a lead from Adler: not every book deserves to be read seriously and deeply. Sometimes the author does a poor job and when that happens it's best to not spend too much time with observational study
ОтветитьI enjoyed this more than I ever enjoyed reading a book🍓
ОтветитьThank you for inspiring me to get back to reading. You're truly awesome delivering your messages.
Ответить“the way an actor has took on a role”??? C’mon Tristan.
ОтветитьThis should be a monthly feauture, you annotating the first page/part of a classic. That would be wonderful!
ОтветитьThis lecture was eye-opening and exciting. I look forward to putting pen to book, something I’ve never done. Thank you. I truly enjoy each of your videos and I am growing my first Classics Library!
Ответитьeven as someone who doesn't like reading classics, this was very useful for my own reading
ОтветитьI am extremely happy to have found your channel and I thank you for your instructive videos. However, there is nothing I hate more than picking up a book full of graffiti lol
ОтветитьAs an avid reader I love your videos (both channels)
How would you go about annotating, if the book is borrowed, though? Post it stickers inside? Or is it better to have an external notebook handy?
Thank you for sharing your love of classics with us! Thank you for your videos.
ОтветитьYes! I’ve only recently heard of ‘ annotating’ and have been searching for videos that explore this more fully. Thank,you this was very helpful. I’d love to see more 😊👍
ОтветитьIf I’d had an English teacher like you, how much richer would my life have been? Thank goodness it’s never too late to learn 📖. Much appreciation to and for you 😊
ОтветитьVery helpful. Thank you!
ОтветитьSo enjoyed and I now know the value of annotations
ОтветитьJust watched this as advised by you on your slow readers video. Thank you.
ОтветитьI'm really glad about this video! Thank so much again!
ОтветитьThank you your insights and description of how to read classics/general books. Going to check out your reading club. Jeff
ОтветитьI highlight non-fiction books. Could that be considered as a form of "slowing down" akin to annotation?
ОтветитьThank you at the age of 76 I'm going to get my pencil out and actually mark a book. This was just not allowed when I was young. I shall probably feel guilty,but will secretly enjoy being naughty.
ОтветитьAwesome video! Tristan, do you have suggestions when reading e-books? I tend to just use a pad and keep running annotations, being sure to note the chapter and page numbers. I find it a bit more cumbersome, but not too bad. It’s definitely slower when I want to quote certain lines. Rather than just highlighting it, I have to end up writing the full sentence or passage. So I lose some time with this, but I feel like I may gain a bit more depth of understanding. I’m curious to see how others address this.
ОтветитьSince I am disabled I absolutely love the idea of getting off the train and "walking" in a different world. Thank you for this lecture.
ОтветитьI am amazed at how much more I understand by annotating.
