Do you read Hebrew literature, namely the Bible?

wow. I can't wait. He is so wordy I love his short stories...Night Shift might be my fave. But hey, I just purchased an original 82 comic book from Creepshow and I'm not really a collector but it is Saweet!

Earth Abides, Day of the Triffids, Bird Box

Pet Sematary! Carrie! And (unpopular opinion) Cell!

I want to read hyperion so bad, but I hear the sequels get bad. Where do u recommend I stop? At hyperion or fall of hyperion.

😅bruh speaker of the dead is such an amazing book, and xenocide was also a fine read tho not full fleshed out, children of the mind yeah I didnt finish it, its a tough read. but everyone should read speaker I dont see how not.

I have read about 40 of his works (Now I am reading them in publication order and I am on "The Stand: Uncut" and here is my list so far now that I am keeping track of them. 1. The Shining 2. The Long Walk 3. Pet Sematary 4. The Dark Half 5. The Drawing of the Three 6. Firestarter 7. Carrie 8 The Stand (Cut) 9. IT 10. Skeleton Crew

I’m actually quite fascinated that the original vision was to be two trilogies with God Emperor being a standalone bridge of the two trilogies. That really makes me heartbroken that Frank passed before it was complete. I’ve recently begun reading Dune for the first time, and I’m currently half way through God Emperor. Personally, this is the greatest piece of science fiction I’ve ever read, and has made me so interested in reading more of Frank’s stories. As for how I would rank them: my 2 favorites so far are Dune Messiah and God Emperor. The original Dune is a very very close second, and I have to put Children of Dune last - I just couldn’t get into the story of it during my first read through, but maybe that’ll change with a second read. I’m so excited to see where this series goes!

I absolutely fell in love with The Winter King in 2007, finishing the series, not thinking that I could find anything better and jumped right into Pillars of the Earth, and it blew my mind. London by Edward Rutherford is another great epic work of historical fiction. I really miss those days and I desperately want to feel that love of reading again. Hopefully The Accursed Kings can light that spark. Thanks for the great video.

" A DISTANT MIRROR" The calamitous 13th century.

Highly recommend Mary Stewart's King Arthur series. I read the Crystal Cave while I was in high school and was pleasantly surprised when she followed up with The Hollow Hills and then the Last Enchantment. I have a fondness for Merlin/King Arthur stories and I think Mary Stewart's books are the best of those that I've read. Another series that I really enjoy is Steven Lawhead's versions: Taliesin, Merlin, and Arthur.

Haha i love Lawrence Block! I read every one of Block’s books years ago. Glad you liked the book and you keep reading the rest! They don’t disappoint!

Thank you for this video, Josh. I appreciate your sensitive handling of a really difficult topic. Watching this video and your comments about r*pe culture and how it's rarely looked at from the victim's viewpoint made me think about another book that tackles that topic. I don't know if you have heard about or read 'Know my Name' by Chanel Miller but it's apparently a beautifully written response from the Stanford Univ. SA victim. I have read her trial statement, but not the book just because the subject matter is too much for me, however from what I have heard from reviews and from friends and even my husband who read it, it's an incredible book that challenges the idea that just because someone has athletic talent, they are somehow morally exempt and shouldn't have to face the consequences of their actions like everyone else. It just seemed like worth bringing this book up as part of the conversation :) PS - I have been avoiding Beartown myself because of the subject matter, but my husband says it's one of the best series he has read. Maybe someday I can handle it, I love Backman.

"A Pair of Blue Eyes" Thomas Hardy, "Northanger Abbey" Jane Austen.

I just ordered a copy of the Curse of the Fallen after watching this interview earlier today ;)

I appreciated the way you discussed this subject. I can’t help thinking of Kavenaugh and how this is exactly the mindset he had in the 80s and was dismissed. It’s disgusting.

My favourite of the Brontë sisters is Anne! I loved the Count of Monte Cristo and it’s on my re-read list. Jane Austen is my absolute favourite author of all time. George Eliot, Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy are right up there with Austen for me. I don’t hear much about Anthony Trollope, but he’s so prolific and has a great style and very engaging commentary on social and political issues in Victorian era.

Thanks for sharing this difficult topic. As a mother is something that always is running in my mind. When my oldest daughter reached her teenage and started to attend to parties we developed a secret word , I told her that "if you see something strange or feel uncomfortable call me and tell me the secret word". The Word per se is something light for example: Hi Mom Can i stay? THE PARTY IS AWESOME, so that way I know right away that something is wrong (i also told my son to use it). Not only for them but also if it involve somebody else. Thanks again for address the topic.

Tough, sobering, yet essential to talk about

Great job on a very difficult topic. Sensitive, sensible and sober. An important book with an important message.

I feel like this is a much bigger issue outside of small town USA and at the collegiate and professional level. Hell look at Jameis Winston and Florida State. This guy was drugging and raping girls and university leadership and police covered it up and they won a national title. They just built and unveiled a statue for the SOB last year. Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame… this crap happens at our elite universities and folks that absolutely know better tolerate it and cover it up.

This is an issue that the society and educational system have to take heed of. In Taiwan we accentuate sex education to raise awareness including molestation even in primary schools. You would be surprised to know how many cases teachers have to deal with of accusations. They all result in ignorance from the society where people don't understand the act committed by kids or youngsters can not be simply attributed to their emotional immaturity thus be easily forgiven. This will shape kids' understanding about respecting others when they grow up.

Thanks for this video Josh. I deeply appreciate your stance.

Similar issue happened in a town near me, but it wasn’t SA, it was hazing. And instead of splitting the community, the community turned on the family and boy who reported it to the police because it ruined the football season. Not the best priorities

The shadow series used to be my personal preference, but I just finished children of the mind and I absolutely loved it it’s tied for me for best between that and speaker for the dead

Pss. There was also a doc on this. Can’t remember if it was on Netflix

I lived in that town and my daughter knew this girl.

I teach in rural Texas now, and small towns destroy girls' lives.

A great video indeed! Congratulations!

Thanks for your review. Very respectful and timely👏👏👏🙋‍♀️

Wow. Steubenville. That town is rough. Worse than Youngstown. I simply could not knowingly read about rape. If it comes up in fiction I skim. I fume just thinking about it. Frat parties and date rape drugs are still happening. People need to know.

Thank you for speaking about this in such a forthright way, it's a difficult thing to speak about rationally as so often victims are blamed or objectified. I don't understand why that is, but i am so glad some of us see the perpetrators for what they are, manipulators, users, criminal's.

Thank you for sharing your experience reading this very difficult and very important book, Josh.

Chronicles of Prydain 'middle of the road'. No way! That 4th book, the way Alexander delivered to us 'who Taran was' and showed us that it doesn't matter where you come from, but rather where you are going was so great. It was what Rian Johnson was trying to do with the Last Jedi but he fell short. If he had delivered it like Alexander the fans would have loved it rather than been divided over it... but it just shows how hard it is to do that and Alexander did it beautifully.

Thank you very much for this important video, I think you speak very eloquently about this subject and I really appreciate this video.

Thank you for sharing.

I have a lot of respect for the way you delivered that trigger warning. Important book and topic.

Kudos to you for sharing your experience with this book. You raise so many important points about situations like this. Having also been raised in a small town, I know how much importance is placed on the sports teams and the culture of community adoration around it. That can be a powerful thing for good, like you mentioned, but it can also create a situation where very flawed human beings can do no wrong. Thank you for speaking up so passionately about this topic, Josh!

Recommended books: A Trip Into The Supernatural - By Roger Morneau Great Controversy - E.G White The Enemy Unmasked - Bill Hughes Patriarchs & Prophets - E.G White

Jane Eyre, 1984, Ubik, Little Women, Brave New World, Breakfast at Tiffany's, David Copperfield, This Side of Paradise, Casino Royale, Of Mice and Men (I haven't read any of Steinbeck's others).

At least in my edition, Childhood's End has a disclaimer: "The opinions expressed in this book are not those of the author." My sense is that this is a story that went in a completely different direction from what Clarke anticipated, such that he kind of gave it a side-eye. It definitely sticks in the mind.

Swan Song & Hand Maids Tale would make my list. I'm glad you recognize Swan Song. Lovely tribute to your friend, I enjoyed your intro before, now it's personal. I'm going to look into Cronin -- he is new to me.

We agree 11/22/63 is his best. I've read Connelly. I don't like fantasy. My question to you -- while reading settle in and feel relief when the vile profanity starts? Have you to finished a book and lowered the rating due to lack of female genitalia slang or explicit sex?

I am now officially on hold at the library for The Terror because a man on UA-cam made it sound good, albeit the same man hyped GWTW. I don't think I will ever understand the GWTW band wagon. I'm also going to try Lonesome Dove. I liked your presentation, new sub here.

I just want to say, this is such a great video. You strike such a great balance between not giving away too much about a book, while still selling its appeal. Pillars of the Earth is of a size, and has a premise, that would have kept me from ever trying it. But I have now purchased the book based off your praise, and am very excited to get started on it!

I read East of Eden as a young adult, and almost 50 years later, I’m rereading it right now. One of my favorite classics, judging by how many times I’ve reread it, is The Razor’s Edge. Larry Darrell, the main character, is someone I would like to be friends with.

That's an incredible bit of coincidence seeing Rooker Flynn in the same set of books as King Rat. That story was a huge source of inspiration for Rooker and the Locke Institute, and probably my favorite of the Asian Saga. Again, thank you so much for lending your keen eye to Rooker's story, Josh, you're wonderful!

I hope you have a crack at The Mountain in the Sea, a recent read for me. You can tell Nayler is a subject matter expert and that reflects to an interesting view on how it will look in our future!

I think you will love King Rat. I didn’t like ‘Gsi Jin either
