Looking for booktubers to follow. Some that I follow already include:

Books and Quills
Peruse Project
Little Book Owl
The Readables
Rosianna Halse Rojas

In terms of what I'm looking for in booktubers - I'm not in it for the YA crap. I find that some of the ones I listed recommend some good contemporary fiction that I would not otherwise hear about necessarily. So if you have anyone to share, please do.

>hating on an asian kid at a party because he has a gf
>tries to push girls off of a ten foot ledge and falls
>gets beaten up by normies because he tries to find his glasses
>planned to chop the heads off of sexually active normie males and toss them down del playa
>wanted to flay couples and dump boiling water on them
>drops every college class he takes because he doesn't like seeing couples and QT girls
>quits world of warcraft because he sees that it has been taken over by normies who brag about their sex lives
>has something against mexicans, blacks and asians and likes blonde hair boys and girls
>jealous of his little brother whom he thinks might get bitches when he gets older
>hears his sister being fucked by her boyfriend

I'm not a native English speaker and I'm currently reading Walden (Life in the Woods, whatever). So far I'm at page 52 and it took me 6 hours to get there. I'm reading like 8 pages an hour because I keep coming across words I don't know and I have to research them. I could probably go by context for a lot of them but I want to make sure I have the exact definitions. The subject matter is interesting to me and I feel like I'm learning a lot. In a weird way it actually makes me feel superior to people who run through books because I'm working harder for it and actually absorbing the material. Maybe they're just geniuses though and I'm stuck a babby reading level.

Yeah, they didn't analise the movie in depth like they usually do with books. The whole ayy lmao thing was lame and boring too. They should stick to nigger talk there, or if the white guy really needed to be there, just talk about it normally. Disgusting new branch of their channel, I hope they fix it, specially for Space Odyssey.

It could work if the alien thing isn't so forced, he stops everything to comment on the future context. Plinkett did it better mixing homicidal old man with analysis, but you can tell that as soon as you take Mike out of the comfy pleb sci-fi trend he has zero insight.

4chan as a whole enjoys a lot of shitty stuff but the userbase's music taste is the worst offender, and that's considering anime.
