Leaf by Leaf; he is a lot more in depth than better than food and even better imo, chill STEM dude who gets hard for books. He did a great video with Better than Food.

Also while influences are cancerous shit, I found a few good books I wouldnt have otherwise known about such as Epitaph of a Winner and Serotonin by watching these two guys so I am thankful for that

Fiction or non-fiction?

For fiction, I enjoy Orpheus because he has a very smooth and appealing voice.

For non-fiction (and sometimes fiction), I like Ebert (kinda) and Sadler. Kane B is also good for Analytic philosophy when he's not being a libertarian sperg.

For channels that focus more on ideas than the books they're contained in, but still do talk about books, there's guys like Keith Woods, Joel Davis (the ImperiumCast is pretty underrated), and Aarvol. Heads up, they are third way thinkers though if that's not your thing.

Cliff is incredibly obnoxious but based on a brief overview of the video titles of the channel in the post you're replying to, that guy has a more deep and serious interest in fiction than 95% of this board, and there are definitely books in there that aren't on the wiki.

All the books on his channel are literally from charts we have made, you newfag. He’s also a retard whose incapable of forming a substantive and meaningful thought about any books he has read unless he is talking about himself. He just reads the synopsis, some reviews from goodreads, and some professional reviews. He plagiarized portions of his Pessoa review. Take his cock out of your mouth

My wording was possibly ambiguous, sorry, I did mean Leaf by Leaf though. What I said about being better than /lit/ probably still applies in some sense to Better Than Food but the guy is so annoying that it's just not worth it. Leaf by Leaf doesn't have the whole "aesthetic" poser thing going on like Cliff or Waldun so I would imagine his content is easier to stomach. However, I'm not gonna vouch too hard for the taste of a guy who seems to be a big Murakami fan, but then I only know Murakami by reputation so I suppose I should reserve judgment on that front.

>>20537087
I (the person replying to the reply to the original recommendation of Leaf by Leaf) was indeed not intending to refer to Better Than Food, but as I said my wording might have been unclear. Working with Cliff is certainly another strike against him, but to reiterate my main point, I've spent enough time on /lit/ that my standards for literary discussion are extremely low and anything with the slightest appearance of seriousness and/or sincerity is refreshing to me.

If you replied to your original post and said "hey actually I wanted to let you know that it's not because you 'have a life' that you don't know about this, it's because you're not 'with the times'", that would be an admission. But instead you delete it because to do it the other way would reveal too much about the thought process behind your posts.

Because, as was correctly implied by the deleted post, not having a life is conducive to knowing these sorts of things, and I haven't one so I spend enough time on here to be aware of it. To say it's not something to be proud of is a massive understatement.

Yea I was wrong anon, I was conflating your point in this discussion with your original reply to me when you thought I was talking about BTF, my bad. I agree that it's inaccurate to say he reads almost nothing that's on lit charts. I agree that they give lots of recommendations and I appreciate the people who make them; however if you are interested in contemporary stuff then I would imagine something like Leaf by Leaf is good for that.

And of course besides that I would posit that the youtube channels, however much you might find them lacking in depth of discussion, probably go deeper than the usually nonexistent discussion of fiction that exists on /lit/ for most novels outside the top 100. Obviously you have some kind of problem with him, but I really don't know what about this random nobody is so offensive to you.
