Your Questions for Hardcore Literature (Patreon)

Your questions are what make 'Coffee with Hardcore Literature' such a fun conversation.

The last show had us chatting about the best translations of epic works, curating our bookshelves, how best to read Shakespeare, Don Quixote, Middle English Literature, and much more. 

So let us know, either in a comment or personal message, if there is anything you would like me to discuss in the next show.

I've already received some great questions which I'm looking forward to answering, but the more the merrier!

We'll also be reading as many of your insightful comments as we can get through. As always, I'm staggered by the love you're bringing to these great books.

Upcoming Content

Our first three long-form deep reading lectures on Don Quixote are out, along with an analysis of Shakespeare's fourth sonnet, an introduction to Japanese poetry ('The Art of the Haiku'), a reaction to Shelley's essay on atheism, a lecture on the first half of Siddharta's part two. 

The general book chat thread for the month also makes for some great reading over one's morning coffee. 

Coming out next, we'll have:

• The final chapters of Siddharta +  wrap-up video
• Deep analysis of Don Quixote ch.15-28 ('Tossed in a Blanket')
• Meeting Monsieur Swann: Proust's Search (Pages 10-13)
• The Poetry of John Keats: Truth and Beauty (Lecture I)

We'll also be gearing up for more short story appreciation masterclasses and Big Reads as summer turns into autumn.

As always, self-pacing is key!

In the meantime -

What questions would you like me to answer in the next episode of 'Coffee with Hardcore Literature'?

Or if you don't have a question, but would like to share anything from your reading so far, that would also be greatly appreciated.

I'll be turning the camera on, with my usual double espresso, this Sunday.

`Happy reading!
