    Hey everyone,

    I know there's a lot of avid readers on EC, including myself, and whilst looking for a study guide for The Fall by Albert Camus, I came across Thug Notes on YouTube. It's got summaries and analyses for I think almost 100 novels, from Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn to The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Othello by William Shakespeare.

    As you can probably guess by the title of the channel, the videos are meant for comedic effect initially, but they are quite educational and stick in your head really easily due to the colloquiality of them.

    I'll post a link to a vid discussing a novel that most people will know the story to, just so I don't ruin a lesser-read novel for people.

    Macbeth by William Shakespeare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-PKotyoxys

    Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMyLbPvjTvg

    Enjoy!

    I looooove thug notes. Discovered them after I read Catcher in the Rye and I loved it so much I wanted to get all the juice out of it I could.

    Yeah. I quite like wisecrack every now and then if I'm in a half thinking mood.
