Welcome. This is a place for the curious who would appreciate a good book/film/game recommendation (or a fair warning not to engage in something that might be a bit too much). As a niche channel, we engage in checking out some unsettling artistic content here, thus, viewer discretion is strongly advised.
My name is Róu and I am an author myself🤓. Also, we appreciate poetry here, so occasionally I’ll be reading some of my own works as well as various poetic pieces from known authors in hopes of proving to the world that #poetryisnotdead ✌🏻
By "checking that book" I also mean weighing a work on your own terms — not just a book, but any piece of art, film, game, etc. It’s the place where “in my book” becomes the point: a space for honest judgment, personal taste, and calling something great, unsettling, overrated, or unforgettable.
Comment discussions and debates are strongly encouraged (in a respectful manner, of course).

May our journey begin! 🤩
You guys, I am so excited to finally deflower this discovery set and proceed with my (and now yours too🫵🏻) exploration of “disturbing” perfumery. Just so you know, I will pick the samples randomly (I believe it’s more fun that way, unpredictability is actually a bonus in this case✔️). Stay tuned for more various content. I appreciate you all 🙏🏻. Cheers!

“Execution of the Grand Vizier” was the name I chose for this painting. To find out more curious and epic circumstances regarding both this painting and a poet “Muhibbi” - check out one of my recent videos: “Epic Ottoman love story”.

Hi to all 🤗! As you might have noticed, the channel has grown a bit wider in its exploration of the "disturbing matters" :) Besides literature, we already talk about cinema, games and even divert from the subject matter from time to time - to give ourselves a wee break from all of the crazy stuff))
I'd happily talk about some plans of mine and share some cool news with you too🤓.
Let's make it to 500 subscribers and have a nice cosy livestream☕️.

I’ve received one of the coolest compliments ever: “You look a bit like Isabelle Huppert in The Piano Teacher!” What do you guys think😜?

Exactly 1 year ago, I kickstarted this channel with little hope. Right now, it feels so much more in place, feels right to do this, to bring forward some obscure books and discuss them with you guys! ✌🏻
Thank you all so very much for your support. Means a great deal. 🎉 🎂
