Your sense of humor and capacity for amusement couldn’t be more delightful. Your discussion of traveling carnivals here and the Royal Family in another recent video had my wife and me in stitches. I must say, though, that I’m not sure I know a single Christian whose ideas about God or the afterlife even roughly line up with your characterization of them here. But that’s one of the beautiful things about Booktube - we needn’t or shouldn’t subscribe only to those people whose tastes and perspectives line up tidily with our own. How dull would that be? This rant isn’t anything like a deal-breaker for me - you have your reasons for feeling the way you do. And you’re much too entertaining and with much too ranging a mind to stop following you for a rant like that. So keep doing what you’re doing. If we expect the people who like us (or whom we like) to agree with us all the time, we need to reevaluate what we’re doing and why.
Sometimes I wonder if some of your viewers actually pay attention to what you say, and to what few behaviors we can see here on Book Tube. You’re remarkably consistent in practicing what you preach. Anyone who has listened to you discuss the treatment of women in ages past cannot possibly think you’re a misogynist. Opinionated? Yep. Egotistical? Maybe. Honest, kind (sorry to spoil that illusion you’re trying to spread), smart and funny? Oh yes. I enjoy your channel more than any other. ETA: I hope this satisfies your desire for a compliment.
Compliments: I find you fun and interesting to listen to. I also have learned a lot from you. I appreciate Terence and Catullus because of you. I have on my amazon purchase list the Last Poets of Imperial Rome - looking for some melancholic, postapocalyptic poetry.
Compliment for you. You have the most fantastic sense of humour and give the best advice of which I have partaken of!!! I walk between three and four miles everyday and it has really helped the depressive state I can suffer with so thank you!
Probably the most surprising answer here is that you've read the whole Twilight series. I will never again doubt your claim to being the most widely read Booktuber. Hopefully, that also suffices as a compliment ;-)
Loved this Steve! I may do this on my own since I don't have a blog or a youtube channel. I always compliment you in some, you know that! You're just forgetting which is very understandable with all the books you read and the reviews you need to write. But, I'm hooked on you and your channel!
Mine was finally released this morning. Not was funny as yours but here you go. ua-cam.com/video/uI1oB_a9C60/v-deo.html&lc=z224st3bbteofjv5c04t1aokgapjbwskyhomvgam3s0abk0h00410&feature=em-comments
I loved your answers to question 48 & 49. As a parent I agree with you totally!! Our 6 year old left a note for his dad once..."Dad, I lost anutha tuth, I know you are the tuth farey can I have a dollar? At that point I knew we were doomed as parents.
Hi Steve! I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your channel. I've learned so much from you. I have a few questions. 1, did you ever want kids and if not why? 2, Why don't you drive? 3, Why are dogs so special to you? Have a great day today Steve.
Your wealth of knowledge, hilarious anecdotes, and brutal honesty is a rarity and is why I admire you. I’m always coming to your channel to explore your incredible archive of videos as well as keep up with your pretty consistent uploads! :D
So that's why we have that long winter, because you are too lazy to buy yourself a new pair of sandals. Let's just hope that Summer won't wait for me to slim down enough to get into my old swimming suit.
It's amazing that you've traveled the world without ever driving a car. It must have been difficult to get around when you lived in the country. Mass transit is usually rather limited when you live in the sticks.
I got a 5% on my first and only accounting test in college and that is only because I wrote my name correctly. Quickly after it the professor said I probably should drop the class. Flash forward to 15 years later, I'm a book keeper in the accounting department 🤷♂️
Steve,, you are extremely intelligent and well read! However, you are also a highly critical, egotistical misogynist. Despite these observations I can't stop watching your channel. Just my opinion.
"misogynist" isn't just your opinion - it's also a personal insult, delivered directly to me. So I'm hoping you'll find a way to stop watching my channel, right away.

Hee - I can't believe I only got a "maybe" for "egotistical"! I need to try harder!

This is so funny! Your cleverness is boundless.
OMG, I am laughing so hard at question 48 and 49 being next to each other... if I wasn't so lazy, I'd actually roll on the floor. 😂😂😂
Do you take any medication? Yes! A daily mail haul, starter kits, and Grandpa Simpson rant.
Compliment for you. You have the most fantastic sense of humour and give the best advice of which I have partaken of!!! I walk between three and four miles everyday and it has really helped the depressive state I can suffer with so thank you!
Question 48 = best answer ever. Followed closely by your sarcastic sighs regarding flavoured tea and Kermit the Frog. Thank you for the entertainment!
Probably the most surprising answer here is that you've read the whole Twilight series. I will never again doubt your claim to being the most widely read Booktuber. Hopefully, that also suffices as a compliment ;-)
I watched this in its entirety & enjoyed every bit of it. If that's not a compliment, I'm not sure what is! 😂☺️
Actually, that IS kind of neat, isn't it?
“Somewhere deep in hell, I suppose.” That might be the funniest thing you ever said.
Have you ever considered writing a book about your life? I would love to read it!!
Loved this Steve! I may do this on my own since I don't have a blog or a youtube channel. I always compliment you in some, you know that! You're just forgetting which is very understandable with all the books you read and the reviews you need to write. But, I'm hooked on you and your channel!
That was hilarious! You're an awesome ranter!
Great questions it was fun to watch you answer them in a humorous way. I'll try to do this tag next week.

That was so delightful! Poor Deb though ;)

Your sweatshirt brings out the color in your lovely eyes.
I got an F in Biology too, but they wanted me to dissect a cat! I loved your truthful unsarcastic answers to all the questions. :)
Oh ,I forgot to compliment you...um...
"'What's your favorite candle scent?' Teenage weight lifter."
*PUMP YOUR BREAKS*

Just remember, those who don't believe in Santa don't get any presents!
This was great...your input is your compliment , we continue watching you and really enjoy you. 📚😘👍🏻

Love these questions... And answers 💚💛💜💚💛💜
It made squeal to hear you read all of Twilight!
You need to at least update Stevereads in December for the intergalactically famous best of lists.
I know! That's one of my main reasons for thinking I absolutely have to continue Stevereads somehow ...
I bet most of us are foolish for having swum in oceans. Hawaiian sea life is wonderful when snorkeling.
Thank you for not walking things back!
Loved this tag! F in bio for me too- same reason!
Here's a compliment!
You remind me of the Hitch.
Yikes! Not in ALL ways, I hope!
Steve Donoghue Minus the drinking, smoking and a couple of "peculiar opinions". Just the "good" ways.

But true nonetheless. I'm just the only one brave enough to make the comment. I have happily unsubscribed!
Yes, all the other thousands of people here - including all the women - are afraid, all but you. Fare thee well, O Voice of Truth. Jeez.
Steve Donoghue WOW! You sure put me in my place!
