Hola, Hank.
Hoy "Bajo La Misma Estrella" está primera entre los best-seller de
USA Today y New York Times, una locura, y pensé en los libros
que amé y no son best-sellers. Hoy recomiendo 18 libros
que amo y mucha gente tal vez nunca leyó.
Nerdfighters, recomienden libros que aman
que seguro no leí, leeré 18 y los reseñaré en un video.
¡Vamos!
¡Deportes! "Este Bloody Mary es mi Pertenencia Final" de Jonathan Rendall.
¡Gran título! Es mi "libro de boxeo" favorito.
Hablando de cosas raras que amo, "Una de Nosotras" de Alice Domurat Dreger,
el mejor libro de no ficción sobre gemelas siamesas. Y es un genial
libro sobre discapacidades y deformidades y de como la gente en el poder
margina al otro.
OK, libros divertidos; "Por Irlanda con una Heladera" de Tony Hawks, no Tony Hawk.
Es un tipo que hace dedo para ir por Irlanda con una heladera;
es una de las cosas mas graciosas que leí en mi vida. Otro excelente
"Juego Tenis con Moldavos", él juega tenis con todo

English: 
Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday.
So this week, my book The Fault in Our Stars
is at number one on USA Today and New York
Times best seller list, which is bananas,
and it's made me think about all the books
I've loved that aren't best sellers.
So Hank today I want to introduce you to 18
books I've loved that you haven't read and
probably very few people watching this video
have read.
And then Nerdfighters, in comments, if you
could leave names of books that you love that
I probably haven't read, I'll read 18 of them
and review them in a future video.
Okay, let's get to it!
Okay, let's start with sports!
This Bloody Mary is the Last Thing I Own by
Jonathan Rendall.
Best book title ever!
Also my favorite boxing book ever.
Speaking of unusual areas of my expertise,
One of Us by Alice Domurat Dreger, which is
by far the best non-fiction book ever written
about conjoined twins.
It's also just an amazing book about disability
and unusual anatomies and how people in power
tend to essentialize and marginalize the other.
Okay, couple of funny books: Round Ireland
with a Fridge by Tony Hawks, not Tony Hawk.
It's about a guy who hitchhikes around the
circumference of Ireland with a refrigerator;
it is one of the funniest things I've ever
read.
Also excellent, Tony Hawks' follow-up book,
Playing the Moldovans at Tennis, in which

English: 
he plays tennis with every member of the Moldovan
National Soccer team.
The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green by,
yes, that is Zach Braff's brother, Joshua.
Great coming-of-age novel, worth the price
of admission just for Jacob Green's Bar Mitzvah
thank-you notes.
Now you may have read MT Anderson's The Astonishing
Life of Octavian Nothing, one of the best
novels of the past decade, but you probably
haven't read MT Anderson's surprisingly brilliant
vampire novel, Thirsty.
And speaking of great YA novels, Cecil Castellucci's
book, Boy Proof came out in 2005, and the
haunting and beautiful story of this outcast
girl named Egg, has stuck with me ever since.
Also E Lockhart's Fly on the Wall, a brilliant
feminist reworking of Kafka's Metamorphosis,
ugh, it's so hard to say metamorphosis, [to
himself]: they're gonna know about your lisp
now; they already know about your lisp now,
no, just...moving on!
Tayari Jones is most famous for her book Leaving
Atlanta, which is great, but this book, The
Untelling, captures the precariousness of
working-class life just beautifully.
Speaking of beautiful, The Golden Rule by
my mentor, Ilene Cooper.
If you have a child you may have noticed that
they don't, like, inherently excel at empathy.
This book has been huge for us in talking
to Henry about imagining how other people
are feeling.

Spanish: 
el equipo de fútbol moldovés.
"El pensamiento impensable de Jacob Green", de Joshua Braff, hermano de Zach.
Gran novela juvenil, ya las notas de agradecimiento del Bar Mitzvah de Jacob Green valen la pena.
Tal vez leíste "La Asombrosa Vida de Octavia Nada" de MT Anderson, uno de los mejores
libros de la última década, pero tal vez nunca leíste su brillante
novela de vampiros, "Sediento".
Respecto a grandes libros juveniles, "A Prueba de Chicos" de Cecil Castellucci, del 2005, es el
inquietante y bello relato de Egg, la niña paria, y se quedó para siempre en mi mente.
Y "La Mosca en el Muro" de E. Lockhart, genial uso feminista de "La Metamorfosis" de Kafka,
cuesta decir metamorfosis, sabrán de mi ceceo...
Ya saben de mi ceceo. Pues... ¡sigamos!
Tayari Jones es famosa por "Dejando Atlanta", que es genial, y "The
Untelling", ve la precariedad de la vida de la clase obrera de forma bella.
Hablando de bello, "La Regla de Oro" de mi mentora, Ilene Cooper. Si tienes hijos
tal vez hayas notado que ellos no razonan muy bien la empatía. Este
nos ayudó mucho para hablar con Henry sobre lo que siente el otro.

Spanish: 
Uno ilustrado más: "Show Way" de Jacque Woodson, uno de mis ilustrados favoritos.
Y favorito de Henry.
De EE Cummings, "El Cuarto Enorme". ¿Por qué no es famoso? Él narra
cómo fue encarcelado y acusado falsamente de traición en la Primera Guerra y muestra muy bien
la relación entre el individuo y el colectivo.
Me influyó mucho "En Cuanto al Dolor de Otros" de Susan Sontag,
sobre la distinción entre representar y explotar el dolor en el arte. Y en una era
saturada de imágenes, es súper necesario leer sobre la poca fiabilidad de la imagen.
"La muerte viene por el arzobispo" de Willa Cather, tal vez la novela más esencial sobre
religión en USA. ¿Por qué no es obligatorio en todas las escuelas? Ni idea.
 
"Esta oscuridad me enceguece" de Tahar Ben Jelloun
Tal vez esté diciendo mal su nombre, perdón. ¡Es ese nombre! Cuenta
la historia de los presos políticos reales que vivieron por décadas en total oscuridad en
cuartos de 6 'x 3'. Es intenso, pero es muy bueno
"Kendra" de Coe Booth. Su libro "Tyrell" es más famoso, este es igual de bueno.
"La hija del optimista" de Eudora Welty. Es el mejor

English: 
One more picture book: Show Way by Jacque
Woodson, one of my all-time favorite picture
books and also one of Henry's favorites.
E.E. Cummings' first book, The Enormous Room.
I don't know why this isn't famous.
It's Cummings' memoir of being imprisoned
and falsely accused of treason during WWI,
it's also a brilliant examination of, like,
the relationship between the individual and
the collective.
Hugely influential book: Susan Sontag's Regarding
the Pain of Others which made me think a lot
about the difference between representing
and exploiting pain in art.
Also in an image saturated age, this is absolutely
required reading about the unreliability of
the image.
Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
may be the most important novel about American
religion.
Why doesn't every American high school student
have to read this?
I don't know.
A book I'm almost sure you haven't read, This
Blinding Absence of Light by Tahar Ben Jelloun,
I'm probably saying his name wrong, I apologize.
It's that, that, that name!
This book fictionalizes the story of real
political prisoners who lived for decades
in complete darkness in 6' x 3' rooms.
It's a little intense but it's really, really
good.
Speaking of which, Kendra by Coe Booth.
Her first book Tyrell is more famous, I like
this one just as much.
The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty.

Spanish: 
libro de uno de las mejores autoras del siglo XX.
"¿Me extrañarás cuando me vaya? Los Carter y su legado
en la música de USA". Inspiró un video nuestro (en la descripción)
¡y es genial!
Y finalmente "El Verano Final de la Razón", sobre un librero en un país
cuyos líderes odian el arte.
Son 18 libros que amo, no son bestsellers, pero deberían; espero
sus sugerencias. Hank, te veo el viernes.

English: 
Out of fashion these days, but I think the
best book by one of the best 20th century
writers.
Speaking of the South, Will You Miss Me When
I'm Gone: The Carter Family and their Legacy
in American Music.
This book inspired an early VlogBrothers video,
link in the dooblydoo, but it's also just
excellent!
And finally The Last Summer of Reason, a novel
about a bookstore owner who lives in a country
overtaken by extremists who believe that art
is evil.
So there you have it, 18 books I loved that
aren't bestsellers but should be; I look forward
to your suggestions, Nerdfighters - I will
see you in comments.
Hank - I'll see you on Friday.
