Your Questions for Hardcore Literature (Patreon)

Your questions and comments always lead to a fun episode of 'Coffee with Hardcore Literature'.

The last episode had us discussing Shakespeare appreciation, contextualising writers, the modern reader vs the first reader, when to admit defeat with an author, how to summon courage to tackle difficult books, the value of rereading, 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 this month's show.

I already have a few questions which I'm looking forward to answering, but, as always, the more the merrier!

And I would like to thank you for bringing such deep love and lived experience to these great books. I'm currently making my way through an extraordinary offering of insightful comments.

Upcoming Content

As I mentioned in the video, the first Les Misérables video lectures are right around the corner. 

We'll also be wrapping up Don Quixote soon with some of the most poignant scenes in the novel.

We have analyses of Shakespeare's fifth and sixth sonnets, which are companion pieces best read in light of each other.

There is, of course, more Proust coming out soon, with an enjoyable episode on the craze of collecting and connoisseurship.

And we have some Halloween-themed content on the horizon, more short story deep-dives, examination of some essays that will help us appreciate Hugo, and much more.

Focus on what speaks to you most deeply now, and remember that self-pacing is key.

In the meantime -

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

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 sitting in front of the camera, with my double espresso and a stack of books, this weekend.

`Happy reading!
