I’m glad to have found this channel! Your giving me a bunch of new material to read, thank you!
Cabin at the end of the world broke me. I would read it again. Really like Paul Tremblay's work.
I have the cabin at the end of the world in my need to reads and your making me super excited to pick it up and start reading it
Great video. I am busy with Boy's life and am really enjoying it so far. The only Dan Simmons I have read is Carrion Comfort and Summer of Night is on my tbr.
Great stuff. Love your videos, you have great taste.
Robert McCammon 👏🏾. Bud, I got one for you. You might want to ignore this but I promise, you shouldn't. It's become my favorite book of all time. OF DEMONS & MEN by C.E.OCHEJA.
Glad to see you posting again! Long days and pleasant nights 🍻
So good to see your back man.Really missed you.
Thanks Menzies!
@@jimmymango Thank you for that I'm literally off my rocker.No way.😍
You seem like such a good guy. I just started reading The Dark Tower series and am on book 2. Enjoying it so far. Thanks for your videos!
Just discovered your channel love the content and the vibes man. Got some catching up to do 🤣
I was one of the people suggesting The Cabin at the End of the World, and I was thrilled to see this pop up. The ending worked for me more than it did for you, but otherwise I totally agree with your thoughts -- it's almost TOO effective in how it unsettles you, to the point that it's not a fun and scary reading experience but just straight-up disturbing. I think it might work even better for a reader who doesn't think they like horror novels. Regardless, really happy to see your thoughts on that and the other novels -- looking forward to getting to Usher's Passing.
I really appreciate your sincere, thoughtful and down-to-earth approach to this stuff, man. Keep up the great work.
Glad to see your post. I just discovered Robert McCammon recently. I'm reading Swan Song now, but certain I'll be adding more of his work to my TBR.
Awesome! Boy’s Life is a must!
Definitely will be checking these out! You haven't failed me yet
Im gonna try to finish it up before school starts
So happy you're back!!!
I cycle back to your channel about once a month for recommendations on new books as well as your opinions on Stephen King books that I finally got around to reading. Needful Things is going to be my next read! Great channel Jimmy :)
I’m new to Stephen King, I found your video for the dark tower series reading order very helpful, I was wondering if you could make one for the Castle Rock series?
Super happy to see you back!! I keep watching your Stephen King videos and they are great but I am also excited about a new content
Finished chasing the boogeyman good suggestion
Thanks for another video! I'll check out some of those books. What are your thoughts on making more ranking videos? Would love to see your Dean Koontz ranking, favorite books of all time, favorite movies of all time, favorite video games of all time, etc.
Thanks!
Yeah I like ranking videos as well. The favourites of all time could be a good idea.
Greetings from England, Jimmy. Really enjoy your channel. Since you have a number of collectable editions, have you ever tried to add Curtis Richards, original Halloween ( 1978 ) tie-in novel, which expands Michael's mythology, to your collection? It seems a very rare book, going for £500 or more.
Hi Jimmy! New subscriber here. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all your content. Thank you so much the work you have been doing. 😊
Hi Sarah! And welcome!
Thank you for the compliment!
Nice to see you post another video. I really appreciate your reviews and you got me wanting to go back to Dean Koontz again. I just reread Insensity. I haven't read that since I was 18 back 1999 and it was still incredible as I remembered. Never feel the need to post right away. Your loyal subscribers will wait for you.
Thanks Connie!
Intensity was a good one. I am slowly making my way through Koontz’s novels. He has so many!
@@jimmymango my first book of his was Dragon Tears and after that I burned through alot of his books.
Dragon Tears was my first as well and I loved it! That and Night Chills are my top 2 right now.
Dude I really can't wait to jump into Ilium. I've got them both ready to go. I love Dan Simmons work.
Glad to see you back, Jimmy! Please check "The book of the new sun" by Gene Wolfe. I would love to hear your comments on it.
Thanks alfomar! I will put it on my list
Hey Jimmy!
Currently reading the dark tower expanded series (in your order you reccomended)
At the moment i’m reading, “The Talisman” and then i’m moving onto Salems Lot, and then Insomnia!
Then books 5,6,7 and i’ve done it! Super pumped!
Great to hear! Glad I could help!
I read Usher (1980s) a loooooong time ago. I didn't remember anything about it. I think I liked it.
In reading finder’s keep
Thanks for your great video
I just started to read the Stranger
By Albert Camus
I really love your channel❤❤
Hope life has been good to you the past few months! I'm glad you're back!
Thanks Vince!
Heyya! Agreed on the ending of The Cabin at the end of the World! I really enjoyed that one too and I do like an ambiguous ending I just didn't know if I'd like a less ambiguous ending more in that case haha - have you heard that M. Night Shyamalan is doing an adaptation of it!? I'm curious what his take on the ending will be
I did hear that yeah! I like Shyamalan so I think he could be a great fit. But yeah I’m hoping he leaves us with just a little more clarity. I agree with you I’m usually a fan of endings that are open to interpretation but I just thought this one we were owed a little more.
Awesome, i just started reading Finders keepers, so far its pretty good
Heretics of Dune is my favorite Dune book!
If you liked Cabin at the End Of the World, you should check our Head Full Of Ghosts by the same author, its fantastic.
Side note
I'm reading The Dark Half for the 1st time. Like 50 pages left... I'm enjoying it so much. Don't want to put it down. How did you rank it so low haha. * Stephen King Content is how I found your channel *
I missed u! But I’ve kept reading, and I am now on the second to last book of the extended Dark Tower read(your list)! I know you said you liked Song of Susannah the least of the Dark Tower, and yeah that might ring true for me as well, but I still really like it! Can hardly wait to Get to #7, but also I don’t want it to end :,) keep up the good work man!
Thanks Liv! That is very cool to hear that you actually did it all. I’m really glad I could help and that you enjoyed it so much! 🍻
I have Usher's Passing on mail order right now....can't wait to get immersed into it! Are you on Goodreads at all?
I am yeah. Same name. I’m not overly active but I have just started updated my reads more and leaving some basic reviews.
Hi, new subscriber. I enjoy the way you describe books and I love your Stephen King collection. I just finished Swan Song, it was just ok. The Stand is far superior.
Hey! Welcome! 🍻
Recently discovered your channel and I love your videos. You should check out Teatro Grottesco by Thomas Ligotti.
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I binged several so forgive me if I didn’t view enough, but have you read any Adam Neville? Or Rachel Harrison’s The Return? Pretty scary to me😊 I love your channel and can’t wait for more!
Thanks Debbie! I haven’t read either of those authors but I’m always open to new stuff. Thanks for the recommendations!
Robert McCammon is amazing. I love Boy's Life so much, will have to get to the others.Have seen many people talk about the cabin book, but I feel it's a hype now, and that usually doesn't get me excited. And even though I like old Koontz, I think the Odd Thomas series is where it all went down hill. I really don't like those books at all.
I'm planning on reading Boy's Life soon, have only read Swan Song by Mccammon, which I enjoyed.
Ilium sounds interesting, I have read Carrion Comfort and Summer Of Night by Dan Simmons and liked both. Also have The Terror and Hyperion on my Kindle to read.
Just finished reading The Chestnut Man, which you recommend in one of your previous videos and thought it was very good.
Rebecca, I would recommend reading the Hyperion series from Dan Simmons over Ilium. I thoroughly enjoyed all of those books.
U make me want to read the cabin book and I don't even read much. Need to find a audio book of it or something cool vid man
The cabin at the end of the world is been made in to a movie by m night shamlam. Will you be checking it out jimmy
Didn’t see “Phantoms” by dean koontz on your channel. Have you read it yet? ....it’s also a movie but not that good lol
I always have such high hopes for Paul Trembley novels and they are either excellent or garbage. It's so disappointing because I know he can write so well.
Hey Jimmy! I very recently got into reading as a whole, and right now I'm very into the fantasy genre, but I've been interested in delving into Stephen King books and I picked Rage as my first King and unfortunately I didn't like Rage that much, do you have any recommendations on where to start with King for someone like me?
(I thought maybe starting with The Dark Tower series but right now I'm finishing the Gentleman Bastard series and I would like to read some stand-alones before I get back into another series)
Love your content btw!
Try some of his earlier more popular novels. Maybe Salems Lot or Pet Sematary. They are definitely not fantasy though…both of those are straight horror. If you are looking for a fantasy novel by King try The Talisman or Eyes of the Dragon.
@@jimmymango Thanks for the response! I'll be checking out Salem's Lot, will let you know in future videos how the read is going!
Can you please do a comparison of the psycho novel to the Hitchcock movie
I didn’t even know Psycho was an adaption. I will look into it thanks!
Are you on goodreads? Id like to follow you 🤗
Yeah same name. I’m not overly active but I’ve started leave reviews more frequently lately.
Were you in jail? 🤣
Man that ayn rand is a big red flag
