This video was amazing. I didn't realise just how much Pandemic literature was out there... thank you!
2020-05-06 10:01:06 +0000 UTCLove it! The 'sometimes life imitates art' at the end (and that wasn't even the first time that happened in the storylines mentioned in the vid--which is basically the pt, ofc) v strong, great way to end it. also did not miss axiom's end on the shelf there :)

2020-05-04 05:23:07 +0000 UTCLoved the video, would have loved an hour of the same. Maybe some discussion of TB as a romantic disease in lit (maybe you previously discussed this?). Also, first book I re-read when this started was Camus' The Plague.

2020-05-02 17:20:54 +0000 UTCI was hoping the book Blindness by José Saramago. The 'plague' in the book spreads with almost no sense and it's more about how people handle being infected. Even so, this was a great video!!

2020-04-30 12:31:48 +0000 UTCWe just talked about pandemics and zombie books over my virtually hosted banned books club last night and then this popped up. Excited to share with them. Brilliant as always.

2020-04-29 19:34:00 +0000 UTCI just heard that there’s a Les Mis video somewhere. I’m not finding it on Patreon. Is it only for higher level people?
