This guy is awesome. I’d like to know how he came across some of these books…some are quite different from others
I want to echo what several others have already said. What makes your lists so interesting is not only that the titles (and authors) are so diverse, and worldly, but that they span generations and don't simply consist of the same "best selling" books that have won the same Amercan and English book awards. I haven't read moire than a dozen of them, but every one I have I would also list as a favorite , and that speaks to the quality of this list as well as the previous and follow up ones. I discovered JM Coetzee in my University days and he has been a favorite ever since. I read Danube prior to a trip to Europe, and discovered Mia Cuoto when I was living in Brazil (he has since become a favorite of mine) These are all great authors and books, but you have to dig a little to find them. Bravo!
We want more!
Спасибо за видео
Yay yes please continue making videos, they are the best!
Sir, you have an excellent taste for literature.
LETS GOOO HE'S BACKKKK
Keep going!
Much appreciated!
You should recommendation by genre
Thank you!!! It's so nice to have so many recommendations and I'm glad you're continuing with your videos
KEEP ADDING BUDDU KEEO ADDING I NEED 50 that was suppose to make my extra 25 next week 😂
Yeah this just got through. I was really surprised you said it's your last video! My gosh what a list. I've read two of the books you mentioned and I'm a reader. Most of them I never heard about what really surprised me. I was also surprised by your rigours choosing as I know some of the authors. So surprised you put Saramago there. But why the Cave out of his books. I wish I could discuss with you for hours but now I know you're leaving... Why's that? Anyway I just wish to thank you for this wonderful list. Can't wait to put my eyes on your favorite top. Be safe.
I’ll have to add this to my TBR this year!
thank you for sharing!
Sir, what makes your videos so charming is first and foremost your diverse and exquisite taste on books you've read, secondly it's undoubtedly your warm personality. With my humble opinion, I'd very much like to hear about a little piece of history of you reading any particular book, like how you came about certain books, how did it make you feel after you read them and have you ever change your opinions on certain books? Anything. It'll make the videos even more lively and interesting! Thank you so much for sharing nonetheless. Cheers!
Whoa, another video, another great book recommendations!!! Thank you!!! ❤️
I love how diverse your book selection are … I am from India and loved to see Salman Rushdie and Jhumpa Lahiri on the list ❣️
So many great recommendations, please make as many videos you can. 🙌🏻
Thank you for more wonderful suggestions. Again you've given me some authors I've not heard of (the Sergei Lebedev looks good and is currently available as an ebook from my library), and some reminders of authors I've been meaning to get to (Calvino).
Have you read any books by William Kent Krueger? I especially love his “This Tender Land”.
I haven't read anything by Krueger, but I definitely will, probably This Tender Land. Thank you for the suggestion.
So happy you're continuing 😊 That's quite a list, my friend. Many important reads of the 20th century.
Pls sir continue your video because you provide us with different writings that we have never heard of and it creates enthusiasm and an array of joy to be able to read the books suggested by you btw love from India

The first video I got to watch from you. I love the atmosphere.I wish you all the best! I will watch some more 🌻 Thank you for sharing with us all of these amazing titles 🩵
😂😂😂 it is so bad that I actually love it. That was very funny. Thanks again, great to see such variety and books and authors I have never heard of.
Vasilly Grossman is becoming one of my favorite writers. Presently reading "Stalingrad" after having read "Life and Fate" and his other books including the one you showed. There a deep humanity to his work. He is able to find the inner sun in his characters and illuminate them for the reader in profound ways. Brilliant writer.
Treated myself to The Savage Detectives around Christmas. Next on my reading list. Thanks for such thoughtful videos.
Please keep going!!
Missing #55 !! Thank you for this wonderful list of your favorites, but this can’t be your final video. Not until you tell us the mysteriously missing #55! It dropped out when you did a stack swap.
I had several viewers point this out to me. I'm afraid it will stay a mystery because I didn't keep a record of the books I listed, and I had been swapping dozens of books in and out of my stacks before making the video. I guess I'll just have to blame it on the fact I'm a bumbling old man, which is a convenient excuse I use for everything else.
@ Naw, it’s still a compelling list. I watched the whole thing and wrote down every book title you recommended. Glad to have discovered your channel, even belatedly. The missing #55 will have to go the way of folklore, like the Holy Grail.
Yay! Another "last" list! I'm so GLAD you are back with more. I am writing down ALL yr recommendations. Don't know if I will ever get to them all. But I like knowing I have the "lists"! ❤❤❤❤❤❤📕📔📖📗📘
Thank you for your very kind words.
Lovely video and amazing recommendations, enjoyed it so much!! Would love to see a bookshelf tour from your amazing collection ☺️
Diverse collection. Concise and descriptive reviews. Heaven! Glad you didn't throw in the towel!!
Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you are keeping this channel alive!
Of course we need channels like yours, YT is full of sold booktubers praising newly published awful books.
Thank you, I agree, that's why I started my channel.
Would love to see you go through your shelves and show us all the books you have a copy of !
I've had several requests to make a video showing my shelves, but I would rather not get into making those types of videos. I think I'll just stick to talking about books I've read.
These are amazing recommendations, thank you. Will start with Jhumpa Lahiri!
I really loved listening to you talk about these books! This is the first of your videos that I’ve watched and I hope there will be many more! Cheers from England ❤️
I was discover you're channel too late sir...thank you for new vids!
❤
Glad to see you again 😊
Keep making videos sir...thank you
Yay, new video!! You've become my main go to for unique recommendations, so many gems :)
Thank you for another video Jerry! ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your video. Love that they’re books that i haven’t heard of. My list of books to get is forever growing. Yours channel is a gem. Hard to find booktubers that shows different books. Their channel is no different from the next. Same books over and over. Please continue this great content. Thank you 😊
I'm a 16 years old, and yes, I love watching your recommendations. It's so wonderful, nowadays when book recommendations are all about those books which aren't that good and literally they have spolied the whole literature, you came to my youtube suggestion and l love how you talk about the books and I want to read the real books that you recommend not those books which are famous today for no reason,thank you so much sir 😊. Also, could you please recommend me a good book that I should read at this age, I'm confused about which book should I read first that you are recommending 😅
Thank you for your very kind words. As you may have noticed, I'm an old man but I think I was about your age when I first read Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and loved it. A few other books that come to mind are: Remembering Babylon by David Malouf, about a young cabin boy who was washed overboard from a ship and became stranded on the shores of the Australian outback, Paradise by Abdulrazak Gurnah about a young boy who was sold into servitude by his father to pay of a debt or another book that I consider my favorite book of all time The Whereabouts of Ennis McNulty by Sebastian Barry.
@oldmanandtheread Thank you so much for this recommendations. I'll read them all ☺️
Thanks for the video 🎉
My fav youtuber ever, no doubt!
Yay!!! A new video from my favourite booktuber
