What is said about it
3 statements, by date (the events above are the turns of the thread; these are the details).
- 2018-07-23 · A year on YouTube - Channel / life update — recommendation: Ali's second favourite is the audiobook of The Wise Man's Fear, the second book of Patrick Rothfuss's The Kingkiller Chronicles, which made his seven-hour round drive to a wedding in Manchester incredible. — 00:06:15
- 2018-08-30 · Monthly Favourites #6 - Ali Abdaal — announcement: Ali might move Monthly Favourites away from things newly discovered that month towards things he enjoys in general, perhaps with a monthly theme. (hedged) — 00:13:41
- 2020-03-30 · Improve your Reading + My New Favourite Pen — Ali calls his monthly favourites videos fairly evergreen, perennial recommendations rather than things relevant for one month only, so viewers can go through the series from January 2018 for books, articles and podcasts. — 00:16:05
