Have read Slan. A great book! Looking to read more of Van Vogt next. Just deciding which one... This bit usually takes a while 😅

I have loved both the book since I learned to read and the animation when it came out in ‘93 😺

Hey David.. JT here. Ziggy and Let It Be are two bangers, for sure, and worthy of having on your desert island ! Man, I love 90's alternative, you have good taste, for sure ! Thanks for subscribing to my channel Btw ✌

I know some people don't like it, but I'm a fan of the story, The Killing Joke. Great work all around by Moore and Bolland. I think it was meant to be a standalone, apart from the DC official continuity, but that soon changed, and it became canon.

I don't have the Killing Joke. Looks like an oversight I may need to remedy David! I do have Year One though (thank goodness). Good Batman review David!

I’m not really a Batman fan (old TV show and the first two movies from the 80s), but I read the Killing Joke a few months ago. I had recently finished From Hell which I loved and I noticed The Killing Joke was on a few banned book lists. I took it out of the library. I guess my biggest surprise was how much creative license Moore used with a few characters.

I’m officially your 900 subscriber

Question ~ do you prefer the sound of vinyl? I have some vinyl but unfortunately no turn table!

Hey David! It’s nice to meet you! Welcome to the crazy world of the VC 😊 … what a perfect duo of “first” records .. can’t go wrong with the ‘Mats and Bowie. Thank you for sharing your friend story! Blues Traveler is a great pick!!!! The House of Vibes episode is my favorite part too, great pick!! :) Thank you so much for this! I really enjoyed hearing your stories and seeing your picks. Again, welcome to the VC!! Can’t wait to see more. You are entered!!

I did really enjoy the Dark Horse run of Conan, especially those earlier issues.

Gorgeous omnibus David! Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad you enjoyed the book despite its epic size and weight! Remember, that which does not kill you….

Welcome back David! ❤

I'm just seeing this now, David. Lovely collection! I'm an X-men fan, but I don't have much of them apart from the floppy comics. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know why I haven’t read this one yet. I need to get to it!

Great to see you again David! I read Slan about a year ago and really liked it. You're right, it's a hard one to put down but a little light/pulpy. The sequel is bad though (and not written by Vogt)

Welcome back!

Great stuff David! I may have to jump in on this one!

It is just possible that something X-Men related will be dropped off at your house tomorrow. My mutant powers tell me so.

If you are still looking for buddy readers for October, November or December, I still haven't read The Count of Monte Cristo yet. I wouldn't mind buddy reading that with you.

Hey David! I've tried reading Frankenstein and dnf'd it because it felt so juvenile. However, I have since heard that the edition of the book really matters. Which edition do you recommend? I also dnf'd Middlemarch. The main character was such a horrible woman. Did she mature at all? I hated being in her head. I have Paradise Lost on my virtual tbr. I'm not a fan of poetry, so I'm hesitant. Hope you and your family are doing well.

Awesome

That is an insane package 😮

Excellent mail haul David! I especially liked the Wenzel illustrated edition of the Hobbit! Very nice.

Wow, what a great box of goodies!

Lovely haul and it’s good to see you

Some great books there. Happy reading!

Fantastic! Just a bit jealous of some of these. 😂 -T

Not gonna show us any of it???

This was the best review of the book I saw on YT. Thanks

Thumbs for the review, sub for the GMT stuff in the background.

Congratulations on the review and the channel! If I may, I would like to make a recommendation. My wife is a translator and recently translated a renowned book of Brazilian classic gothic literature called "Night at the Tavern" by Álvares de Azevedo (one of Brazil's great artists, who never saw his work published as he died very young, at the age of 20). If you would like to read it, it is available on Kindle Unlimited and has strong influences from Lord Byron. Thank you!

Had to watch him at 1.75 speed.

Oof, I’m 12 days behind on this video. But my recommendation for your top 100 vids is to make an 11th video about the “forgotten books” or the books that should’ve been on the list, but you couldn’t put them there for whatever reason. You might see something similar to that from me in a couple months once they get that far in the series. -T

I found this anthology underwhelming. The follow up was somewhat better. Purple wage seemed like word salad to me.

Great list 👏 I can’t imagine hating The Silmarillion but props to you for revisiting it. I’m so happy to see someone who clearly engages with Tolkien in a way I can relate to. I truly believe that you cannot have that relationship with Tolkiens work without having a an appreciation of classic literature, and having an appreciation for Tolkien is a gateway to appreciating classic literature.

Nice box set! I need to get a copy of the Riverside. Good luck with your projects!

I'm too late for your vacation, but I have to comment anyway. You need to run, not walk, to your nearest bookstore and get some more Heinlein. If you can find a copy of *Expanded Universe* grab it and don't let anyone see it--I can't find one anywhere! If you're not hooked by then, well, hang it up. I can't save you. And I just found you, so this may be redundant, but get some Asimov. The last Foundation book he wrote (I'm wracking my brain for the title, but can't come up with it; it's about the start of the Foundation) has a list of what order to read his books in. If you haven't read them, you'll thank me. And if you want a book that seems silly at first, but is the best book on leadership I've ever read, grab *Phule's Company* by Robert Asprin. Again I've just found you, so maybe you've read these already, but if you haven't, consider these for your TBR list.

Great cover on the bloodstone book. Best wishes and happy reading.

'Bloodstone'!!! Can't go wrong there! Glad you liked it David!

Good to hear you enjoyed your books and your vacation!

Bloodstone! What a great beach read!

howdy big dog. I'd recommend you pick up a Norton edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. The introductory essays offer a great deal of insight and there are so many useful footnotes.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable challenge for you. Me, I’d probably need 3 years for Tolkien, with nothing else. 🤣 -T

Wow! These are some serious challenges!

The History of Middle Earth. Wow that looks daunting! How does this series compare to the Silmarillion? I look forward to your review of those three volumes!

Wow that’s a great box set about Middle Earth!! Looking forward to hearing your progress on that. A complete deep dive on Shakespeare is ambitious too!! Nice video David. I’m also rereading the Faffhd and Gray Mouser stories and loving them.

Laudably ambitious, David. Good luck!

Yes- Shakey!

Read Emily Wilson’s translations for The Iliad and Odyssey!!! So goood
