I'd sooner give him money than Cliff's ol' ass. Bookchemist has a sweet, swarthy tender Italian body and is probably hung to shit.

What a cutie

>> No.8494230

Ive been thinking about making a booktube for a while but I want to read some literary criticism and theory before I start. I already have for more to say about books than cliffs cursory Wikipedia tier reviews but that's not too hard.

It's because it disturbed him so much

I find it genuinely shocking that someone who spends time on the internet is actually disturbed by the contents of Gravity's Rainbow. There's nothing in that book that compares to what one encounters regularly on the internet.

Is that horrid accent a mix between italian and indian? because that's exactly what it sounds like

Bookchemist is the best booktuber I've seen, good sense of humor, good taste, varied videos, uploads frequently.
>B-But he said this about this one book
He's much better anyone else, especially Better than (long pause, introspective stare, sip of drink, ridiculous metaphor) Food.

>good taste

His taste is literally "I lurked lit for a month" thrown in with Reddit shit like Chabon.

Regardles of how faggy his reviews are at least Cliff has enough taste to step out of the anglophobe, first year english student circle and review shit Bernhard, Cendrars, Genet, shit that people of worth with actual refined taste would sooner list among their favorites than DFW and Pynchon.

Cliffs taste is exactly what you would expect from someone who is into DEEP not quite classic books, just like Bookchemists taste is exactly what you would expect from someone who is into DEEP postmodern books.
They're tastes aren't exclusive to those things of course.
Bookchemist is a better booktuber. He is well read, Cliff is well read. Both have varied but different tastes. Cliff makes drawn out indulgent videos, Bookchemist makes comfy videos.
I actually like more of the books Cliff reviews, perhaps because he only reviews relatively well liked books that he loves. That's not a bad thing of course.
Maybe it all comes down to the Bookchemist being more likable, and Cliff having a large ego.

Why are you not supporting BulletDeer? He's the superior tuber.

>> No.8495865

>>8495829
I don't know why people think Cliff reads the book reviews. He's the only reviewer without an opinion as it's all just sparknotes+his ego.
Him having or not having read anything makes absolutely no difference to his reviews.
