I honestly thought cormac McCarthy’s use of the N word was a stylistic choice given the setting of his work.....didn't know he was also getting with teenagers..

In the world of 'Jennifer Government' by Max Barry people take the last names of brands. Now there is a coincidence.

On your way to 1k subs. Weee!

Love your content keep going man❤

New here, congrats for the 700🎉. Ito is a very funny guy(in a strange way is true). Other great one is Kazuo Umezu, that died recently, a true master(older than Ito even, a great great one).

Read this last month and about a quarter the way into Stone of Farewell. I loved it, this looks like to be a new favorite series of mine so far

Thank you for the order!! I just started the first book. Loving it so far!!

You are my FAVORITE booktuber. NEVER STOP POSTING!!!!

Thanks for reviewing this book, I also really enjoyed it. One of my favorite parts of the book is the way the unsettling aspects build on each other over time, developing a lot of tension in an interesting way.

It is is Not in the slumbs!! Educate yourself before you Talk nonsense!! Jesus!! Really?? God Save is from ignorant people!!!

Buddy said I actually just want a book that argues nurture vs nature lmao

🧟‍♂️

hi, friend. this is a crazy week so i have to keep it brief. apologies in advance! congrats on 700! when you put yourself out there like you do you have to expect that you won't be everyone's cup of tea. that viewer who negatively commented...just move on. you can't please everyone after all lifeblood sounds awesome. i just looked it up and it takes place in new jersey. ha, ha. i grew up in jersey and have a soft spot for it. mind you, i never want to go back there but nostalgia is a real thing oh, that old film version of the time machine was SO good....or that's what i remember from my childhood. i wonder if i watched it now whether i would like it or not. you know how that goes. however, i think it would hold up. glad i never saw the new version. it sounds awful politics is crap? corporations are bad? i'm shocked ;) i love zombie stories. isn't the first one the story about this guy called jesus from nazareth? sorry, i couldn't resist too much coffee man was awesome as always. thanks again for putting it up to the screen and holding it there for a bit. it works for me and i can read it a poetry party? sign me up! gotta run... 🧟🧟🧟🪦🪦🪦

Joining the congratulations! Yay to 700!!

For the record: the thing about billionaires was MY thought. Kim Stanley Robinson says rich people need to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing the right thing via elections and a new money system (crypto currency in the book). I know you don't agree with those ideas, but don't confuse my ideas with the author.

Congrats on 700! 🧟‍♂

Congratulations dude. Here's to 700 more! Edit: Life Blood is awesome...my sister gave me it to read a couple of months ago!

Congrats on 700!

What's dnf?

I tried reading popular booktok books....and all did was rage dnfing them...tsk!

When does it start to become ‘horror’? I’m about 50 pages in and I struggle to keep my eyes open. It’s seems to be purposefully confusing and rambling. What is it you find so good about it? I am suspicious that many who praise this book really have about as much of a handle on it as I do at this point.

I wanted to ask if you've ever read anything by Cormac McCarthy - I kept hearing Blood Meridian was a classic so I tried so hard to get into the book but the writing style made me rage quit so hard 😭

How dumb are you? 1st: Kamaka isn't the president. So you bought the fascistic manipulation that lied to you she has the exact amount of power Biden has and didn't vote on her because somehow you gotta blame her. She is the VP! 🤦‍♂️ Not even children fall for that lie. But you did. 2nd: felon trump already SAID he will greenlight bibi to do what he wants. He SAID he would be far worse than Biden. So basically you want to wait a year or maybe less to regret not voting for Kamala. 🤦‍♂️ You need to first see millions of Palentinians dead before you decide to vote again when you could have done something to try to stop that? How pathetic. Other people can't call themselves leftists, but you, someone who didn't even try to stop a felon and a fascist can? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Wow, indeed, this is America. Don't come crying a year into this mess when you regret not voting for Kamaka. The blame shall fall on people like you.

FYI, that quebec book,awesome, love it. dirty plotte...in quebec (where I'm from) plotte is a slang term for vagina. 😊 its pronounced in French like plutte😅

Ouh this looks short enough....i am intrigued...

She is really amazing! This book is my favorite of her, but "Near the Wild Heart" is another wonderful one!

hi, there, f friend. i totally understand your rant about politics. voting seems to be such a waste of time. good for you for not voting. i wanted to vote for jill stein but the democrats took her off the ballot here in nevada so for the third election cycle i voted for "none of these candidates." i simply could not vote for either party that supported the genocide. however, i thought it was important to vote for the ballot measures some of which affected people's daily lives. i think if you voted for the dems, then you aren't really a leftist because, to name just one example, leftists don't support war. these folks who call themselves leftists are really just liberals or neolibs. i prefer to call them shitlibs but that's just me ;) the horror of being yourself? sounds interesting! i wish i had heard about this a few weeks ago. my book club was looking for a "horror" book for october and we ended up reading the horrible (not in a good way!) ghost story by peter straub. i will write this title down and maybe the next time around. i have read drive your plow over the bones of the dead which i thought was good so there's a good chance this one will be good as well. thanks! i always love when you do not finish a book. it's something i admire. i always tell people that you don't have to finish a book just because you started it. BUT it seems i can't take my own advice or, probably more accurately, that i can't seem to take my own advice as i always feel like i have to finish it. you're book club sounds like mine which certainly has a very heavy social aspect because we are all friends from our days of working in cambodia and we keep in touch with each other this way. it's funny you mention when world collide. i recall that movie from my childhood and for whatever reason it popped into my head yesterday while i was over at a friend's house. we looked for it on netflix or something and there it was so we watched it. of course, it wasn't as good as i remembered from when i was a ten year old kid. i enjoyed it but in a different way i've got the first fafhrd and grey mouser paperback that i found at a used bookstore a few months ago but i haven't gotten to it yet. too many books! the same goes for the elric books. it's good to hear that you've enjoyed them. i hope that i will as well....whenever i get to them. at the moment i'm reading one of your recommendations, smashed by junji ito. i'm only two stories in and simply enjoying that it's got drawings ;) when the wind blows sounds good. and yeah children's books are very different now than before. everything changes of course. however, it's not always for the better! i think about the kinds of books i read with students 40 years ago when i first became a teacher and, boy, are they different than the kinds of books available to kids today. so different! better? i'm not sure about that but as an older guy i'm don't think they are better. so many of them now seem to have an agenda and have forgotten that the primary rule a writer should have when telling a story is just that: it has to be a good story. agendas just ruin stories thanks for sharing about too much coffee. that was hysterical! and, of course, so true ;) not rushing through comics seems like a good idea. it's so easy to do and then you don't really reflect on what you've read or seen. as always, it's best to take your time, methinks i did look up the poem and followed along as you read. great poem! love the word choice and one can aleady see, even from such a short piece, that whitman is truly amazing. as always thanks for sharing some poetry! until next time.... 🐶🐶🐶

adding this to my list now!! I'm currently reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King - It's been a lovely read so far :)

🐕‍🦺

What’s your goodreads?!

You mentioned 'When Worlds Collide'... do you still have 'The Last Man' or did you unhaul it?

I think you're looking for sword and sorcery fantasy. You've already read Conan, right? Drizzt is also really great. But for S&S recs in particular, you can check out Liam's Lyceum, he reads a ton of that stuff so you'd probably get some great recs there. Picking this one in particular because it looks like the one on the cover 🐕

Saving this video,if my library has it, I'll definitely read it

Clarice lispector is a goddess

I have that question omnibus in the back! That sienkewicz cover is beautiful

Dude THANK TOU, finding info on the clear and concise main novels of the solar cycle is confusing

You should also read alley its really good

hi there, friend f*ck the government is right! you always have such an interesting variety of books to read for your various book clubs. keep us posted on how it goes. i'm already curious to know what you think of boys enter the house and the empusium as both sound so interesting. i wish my book club had read one of these for october instead of the dumb ghost story by peter straub. i'm going to have to write these titles down for next year. my jaw almost dropped when you said you went back to that gwynne series and malazan. haha. seriously though, it's good that you are willing to go back. i wonder if you have given yourself enough time though before going back. perhaps it's too soon? a friend of mine liked red rising and gave it to me as a xmas present last year so i read it. i thought it was good for maybe young adults but i wasn't tempted to read more. at all. i keep hearing the outlaw bookseller's voice in my mind saying that you only need to read the first book in a series because the others just offer up diminishing returns. i think he's right love the sheer joy on your face when you talk about brooms. that's what a good story does. it plucks our emotional strings. i just got a notice from my library that my copy of smashed has arrive. i'm looking forward to that one based on your recommendation. it's time i read a graphic novel as it seems like forever i agree with you about nina kiriki hoffman. i liked her short work better. i read one of her novels and don't recall the title right now so that tells you something. your discussion of catalyst and how you like weird stuff reminded me of jeff vandermeer's work. you aware of him? he's a "new weird" writer and i just bought absolution, the fourth volume (sort of) of the area x series. i'm going to go against the outlaw bookseller now because area x was a series that i really enjoyed and i think the first three books are really one story divided into three parts, if you get my meaning. if you want weird, then check out area x or even better borne by vandermeer i read kitchen by banana yoshimoto a while back....or i think i did. it was short and i liked it. but why can't i recall anything about it?! will also look forward to your take on kitchen. maybe it will help me remember the story. lol death out of thin area sounds cool but the best thing is that you and your dad are reading together. how cool is that? awesome cool! i got my hands on a copy of titus awakes a few months ago but for whatever reason i put it aside and then returned it to the library without reading it. are you really going to make me take a second look? ;) as i recall crisis on infinite earths was so good. what a shame that this final crisis you read was so lackluster. then again i stopped reading comic books regularly quite a while ago. maybe that was a good thing? i would still encourage you to read the second series of the teen titans from the 80s. i have them all in a box somewhere and still remember them very fondly. great storytelling and that's what it's all about, right? thanks for putting up too much coffee right up to the camera. i was able to pause and read it. very amusing! great poem by frost. and you're right there is a kind of darkness or sadness in many of his poems. i really look forward to your poems and think it's a great idea to finish the videos that way. it's kind of your signature. well done, my friend! have a great week and talk to you on the other side cheers

Great review. Thanks. I'm really looking forward to reading this.

Wtf is a biblophla 😂😂😂

Thanks for the shoutout man, I'm glad you've enjoyed it so much. I still need to read Titus Awakes actually 😂 🏰

Good spear throw reality check ;D

I'm just missing the third book. This is a great series! you're in for a real treat. book one and two were so freaking awesome.

Good to see you again bro! I hope you’re doing great 🎉

Looking to get this one soon

Love these books so much!

hi there, friend. glad you went to the dentist. teeth are really important to one's health. keep going regularly if you can. i understand your frustration with voting. i've wanted to vote for a third party for the past few cycles but here in nevada the dems keep the green party off the ballot through shenanigans. it's very frustrating! they did it again this year so i couldn't vote for jill stein like i wanted. for the third cycle i voted for "none of the above." however, i really wanted to vote for the ballot initiatives which, i think, are super important your discussion of that paul tremblay book made me think of ghost story by peter straub which i am reading for my book club that meets this coming saturday. it had great reviews but i thought it was awful. and it was 500 pages long! i have no idea what people were thinking giving it four or five stars. smh i did like death comes for the archbishop. as you said, it wasn't a "novel" so much as a series of....vignettes. nah, that's not the right word but i can't think what it might be. i really enjoyed the writing though. sometimes the narrative won't work for me but i enjoy the writing. does that ever happen to you? i never heard of adam berry so never heard of goodbye hello either. sounds like i dodged a bullet. thanks for taking the hit on our behalf oh, i wish i could join your book club! i've been wanting to start my own science fiction book club but i don't know that many readers who would be interested. choosing the stars my destination as your first book is inspired. it's sure to be a hit. the best of luck with it! that smashed book sounded really interesting. how i wish i had more time to read! (work sucks) (also wish i had read that instead of ghost story. ugh, it was so bad) don't forgive anyone?..... i like to think of forgiveness as being more for me than for the person i forgive. does that make sense? imaro sounds SO interesting. i will definitely have to look that one up especially as you said the writing was good still haven't gotten to fafhrd and the gray mouser. it's the same problem i keep having: i have a job that i have to go to. hate that! i'm keeping an eye out for a copy of that ballard book but, damn, ballard books are hard to find and when i do find one they are too expensive for me. i'll keep looking and then there's h.p. lovecraft. his stories do nothing for me. i'm just saying! you are definitely doing better reading poetry and, honestly, how can you go wrong with emily dickinson. well done! have a great week and until next time... 🕰🕰🕰

You've yet to read Tomie, Shiver, and No Longer Human
