    Years ago I would go to the Library and check out books of short stories. I have always enjoyed short stories because you can read a wide variety of subjects in a small amount of time. Another Solid Weekly Wrap! Thank you -James & Bella

    Thanks for the update,i usually refrain from rereading books but since watching your videos i got the idea to hunt for the early prey novels which i was able to read almost 20 yrs ago.

    Hello, Kevin!
    I'm with ya on Salem's Lot! I'll subscribe to Max for a cycle just to see it!
    That was the first King book I read. My high school English teacher put it on the syllabus. He looked like a grumpy, older man, but he was one of my favorite teachers ever!
    Happy Sunday!
    ✌️😃

    Conan is my go-to in between novels when I'm not sure what to pick up and start next. I love the classic Howard stories and it doesn't matter that I know them all.

      I can totally see that after only reading The Phoenix On The Sword 🗡️ I am excited to read more Conan soon. May just read a few for fun very soon.

    Fascinating selection. Louis L'Amour is a great storyteller.

      Thank you, yes. I have been pleased by Louis Lamour after reading 6 of his books. Very to the point story telling. Fun quick reads. Really been enjoying your channel. Congrats on the 10k views on one of your 1 min reviews. Cool concept too!

      @@kevintowle9665 Thanks, one minute reviews aren't exclusive to my channel, although others I've seen do them tend to do them for self help books that don't interest me. I tend to read Louis L'Amour in June when there is the Booktube event June on the Range dedicated to reading westerns, I find him to be a reliable source for a good western read. Although the last book of his I read, Showdown Trail seemed a little over-violent.

    • @kevintowle9665

      Interesting that others do them. I also am not a huge fan of self help. June on the Range. That sounds like a lot of fun. Appreciate the insight!

    Greetings, Mr. Kevin!!! I'm glad to hear your wrap-up.
    I'm still reading THE FOOL'S RUN, and I have to say that I have that I still am a bit underwhelmed from the story. Although I found the beginning and porn ring scene to be intriguing, I have to say that the beginning of the book has set me up for nothing. Throughout THE FOOL'S RUN, Kidd makes a lot of vague references to the CIA & NSA that unfortunately go nowhere for me. Book #1 in this Kidd series is the equivalency to the big issue that I had with CHOSEN PREY where Quatar's game with his obsession with women was unclear to me. If I were Sandford writing THE FOOL'S RUN, I would have played my cards to where the book would have been a hybrid between the movie SWORDFISH, the Nicholas Cage film 8MM, along with the Dennis Quaid film HORSEMEN.
    My question to you, Mr. Kevin, is If I disliked THE FOOL'S RUN, then will the other three remaining books in the Kidd series be to my liking? Hope all is well and that you have a great day and weekend!!!!

      Hey Professor X. I think even though you may not be enamored with the first entry into the Kidd series, I think books 2-4 are improvements and give you the time to enjoy the characters more, especially Bobby. Have a good week!
