Hi Ryan! I just wanted to stop by and say how much I admire your dedication and passion for books. Your content is always so engaging and inspiring! In fact, I recently featured your channel in a video on my own BookTube channel, highlighting some of the most amazing creators in the community-and, of course, you had to be on that list! 😊 Thank you for everything you do to make BookTube such a vibrant and welcoming space. Keep up the incredible work-you’re making such a difference in the bookish world! Warm regards, Kris (from SmartBookWorms)

Love the thumbnail, love your cohosts, and I love all things dinosaur related. I haven't read this book but I plan to along with the Rise & Reign of Mammals. Have you read The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas? It's actually a dinosaur ghost story. 👻🦕🦖 Oh, and I call it a tie on your wonderful drawings. 🤗

As a child, I was obsessed with the film and even the 3d cartoon. As an adult I prefer the book. The change in tone in both is brutal, the satire in the film is so poorly done that it becomes comical and easily broken. Meanwhile the book has a more realistic and introverted tone, without the cheap drama, with the focus being on personal growth in all the glorious boredom of hard work and responsibilities. If you pick up the book expecting constant action, explosions and dramatic heroism, the book will obviously be a disappointment, the action scenes being at the beginning and end of the book make sense in the construction of the plot, but it takes away the fun factor of much of the work as purely entertainment. If you just want entertainment and an easy self-congratulation for being "smart" the film is the best option.

I have this book but haven't read it. I have also never seen the movie. I might give it a try during the Read What You Own Challenge. Also, I love an animal attack video in the morning. So cute! 🤗🐶

The co-host has turned into a diva! I finally read this a couple of months ago. I have to say it was way different and way better than the movie. I was sorry it took so long to finally read it and I partially blame the movie for that. I thought I knew the story and wasn't particularly interested in reading the movie storyline. Lesson learned, no matter what the movie is, go back and read the book as well.

I love the retro look baseball uniform. The thing is, I don't love baseball! 😂This story sounds like it would be interesting despite the baseball, however.

Thanks for this!

Fun fact: If you've read all the Crossed comics and just want a little more well I managed to find this gem from another comic book artist. Search Mercury Heat Volume Two, issues 7-12 has a surprise twist. It should suffice and enjoy. Cheers 🍻

Nice job, Bob. That will keep our regular host on his toes!

At first I thought you were volunteering to defend Sparta from the Persians! Well done on 300 videos. I am looking forward to your journey to 400.

Congrats on 300 videos! Huge accomplishment. Seems like fun taking a second to appreciate the journey, especially since you've been doing it for so long.

Well.. I'm embarrassed to not have known the "take one leave one" etiquette of Little Free Library... I've seen them around, just haven't checked anything out yet. Now I'm prepared! Also, thank you again for the tag (will do it soon!), and the kind words about my channels. Authors' names.. Forvo has been a lifesaver. 😅 Then there have been one or two authors where I can't find the "official" pronunciation so I just choose the most frequent one I hear on UA-cam haha.

Everything he says about Swab Summer is a LIE (also thanks Ryan)

Intimidated by Stephen King? One of the most popular authors in the world - for good reason, eg not difficult to read at all. One could be probably intimidated by the sheer number of his titles.

I have been waiting for this George, ah Ryan. This one sounds great and I am so happy that Nick Harkaway does justice to his father's legacy. I hope he continues on with other novels in the world of George Smiley.

Although not clearly defined, could you offer a few specific examples of white collar crime. Is it primarily concerned with fraud & financial theft and not related to violence. Can government commit white collar crimes? How would it differ from basic street crime? I was thinking of Trump's complicated crimes that he effectively got absolved of.

Great review of a great book!

I sent a comment - did you get it?

Just heard about Karla's Choice and am really looking forward to it. I love Le Carre's smiley novels (the non-Smiley ones not as much so far). The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is one of my favorites, and one where I can say the movie is about on par with the book if not better in some ways. It's hard to choose as I love both.

I just pre orderd Karlas Choice, can't wait to read

Yikes, your haircut is real drastic, an army recruit crew cut; don't go back there, made you look older.

I don't speak the language of my hairdressers either, they speak Georgian and Russian and I can only speak English and French, I can say "dabali" in Georgian which means shorter, I don't have any hair left up top anyways. Interesting answers, you don't annotate Moby Dick ?!? Do I have commitment issues? Maybe... I've just DNFed The Picture of Dorian Gray, so I can focus on Barnaby Rudge...on Oscar Wilde's birthday, too.

I like the haircut. I regularly get it cut a the "1" setting. Good answers and I am with you most of the way but no bath, no bathroom!

I read manga pretty regularly, currently addicted to Berserk, and I still get confused by the order of panels, especially when they go off the menu with different sizes and different order of panels. Having said that, manga is a really great medium for stories that we would normally discount as pulpy or not really worth reading. A talented artist, like Tanabe, can add brevity, emotion and pacing that a pulp writer doesn't. Also, manga is a great medium for stories that merge absurdism with realism, it's well worth reading more. Check out Blood on the Tracks, Happiness, Blame!, Berserk and Gantz, you might be happily surprised.

Gou’s (pronounced “Go”) manga are the best adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works, which I also recommend on their own, that I’ve seen taking very few liberties with the plot, depicting the beings as accurately as possible and even including much of the real life science that Lovecraft includes that many other versions omit. The reason why it is mostly in black and white is because it is the standard for manga for reasons of time do to the writer (called a mangaka) usually but not always also being the artist of the manga as well as sometimes the the show supervisor if an anime is made based on the story. Colored editions are usually made only after the series concludes and even then not often. If you are looking for other manga to read then Bleach by Tite Kubo, Claymore by Norihiro Yagi and Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama are some of my favorites. If you are looking to stay within the horror genre then Starving Anonymous by Yuu Kuraishi and illustrated by Kazu Inabe, Uzumaki by Junji Ito and Bibliomania by Orval (Oobaru) and illustrated by Macchiro. Keep in mind this is the first video I’ve seen from you and I don’t know what you usually read and what you like.

I burst out laughing when you said you wanted Andy to die 😂 he was a prick from beginning to end. He was also quite fearful, but couldn't say it. He died a horrible death. Good thing he died before the Falcon dropped because he would have made the rescue completely impossible.

I have never read any manga. It just never occurred to me to pick it up. This one sounds wild.

Intro music is what was used in Whale Wars.

Is it pronounced manga or manga?

Did anyone notice that the first team at sight B were seeing aline monsters but actually killed their own people?

Sounds interesting. It is a real tragedy that this continues in the 21st century.

I read Peter Heller's The Dog Stars and loved it. I have read all of his books since then. I had not heard of The Whale Wars but now I am intrigued. Also, the killing of whales disturbs me to the core. 🐳

You should retitle this as a summery. I think it will do better.

The movie, while slightly different from the book, was great. I really appreciated that it was filmed in B&W which really added that atmosphere of cynicism, desperation, and pointlessness of the Cold War in general. In my opinion, Richard Burton nailed it as Alec Leamas, slowly descending into the personal degradation and helplessness of a pawn in a larger game of betrayal.

I hope they gave you some time in the yard for exercise (great thumbnail as always)! Although I love Le Carre's books as a whole, this one is my favourite that I re-visit every so often. As you mentioned, his books don't always turn out positively with the "hero" triumphant and that the endings are sometimes ambiguous just like real life. There are no winners and some high tech gadget is not there to save you. I am looking at you James Bond (no slight to Ian Fleming, I love Bond).

I've had this on my TBR for a while now. Great review or re-review! I had to skip past the spoiler though. I also loved your intro music (again). ✌️😎

Red Rover Charlie is a loose spin off of another comic series called “Crossed” while not confirmed it’s heavily implied that it’s in the same universe since the Crossed Comics is about how human are infected with a virus that forces them to do the worst things possible, it’s very graphic but it’s a good read!

I am fascinated by these types of disasters not for ghoulish reasons but for how the "Swiss cheese model" operates in the sequence of events. For a Coast Guard veteran like you, this must be doubly fascinating.

Is this series complete?

I think you're right he was trying to make the word propaganda more palatable to people, but from what I remember, he took a pretty elitist approach, implying it's right to trick everyone into doing whatever the people with money want.

This book has been on my radar a while but I forgot about it till you posted this! I appreciate the observation that small efforts from various groups can contribute to an overall mood or direction, vs the kind of "shadow government" / centralist approach that conspiracy theorists claim.

Just recently read this book it was good i couldn't put it down

As you mentioned, the word "propaganda" has completely negative connotations after the 20th century. It seems as if it has become ubiquitous (deep fakes, AI)in our current age of the internet. The book sounds great. Bacon and eggs is the best breakfast as it turns out and cereal and toast are the unhealthy stuff so they were right about that.😄 Wow, the cricket score sheet was so cool. How is your own cricket side going?

OMG!! That thumbnail is perfect! 😂

hope you are feeling better!!!

the thumbnail! the music!!!!!!! ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great stuff, I hope someone put the rip of it online

9:29 Given where it's positioned in the timeline, I'm expecting that we might see Smiley's interview with Mr Guestmann in Delhi, the arrival of Alleline, Bland and Estahase and finally the arrival of Hayden. In 1966 the building undergoes some alterations.
