March of the Mammoths ( aka My Big Book TBR)

[@AJ-mp5hd]

so glad UA-cam recommended your video! This video was so good! I am currently tackling The Count of Monte Christo!

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Yay! I’m really glad you liked the video! Let me know how Count of Monte Christo goes! I feel like everyone loves it, so it has to be great😊

[@TheGerbita]

From this list I’ve read The Count of Monte Cristo (loved it!), and War and Peace (liked it, but need to reread tbh). I really love Olga’s Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead. The Books of Jacob looks amazing, but so loooong why 😅

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Lol I can’t even get through a read of W&P and you’re out here wanting to REread? Amazing! Im glad to hear praise for Olga’s writing, I don’t know much about her. It’s a big commitment I’ve pushed myself into, starting with Books of Jacob so hopefully the writing keeps me going!

[@Ellen_Seokjin]

I love biographies...I'm currently reading Peter the Great, started it last year, Im 30% in. It's a mammoth too, and really interesting.

[@deadlizardreads1937]

So far, 2024 has been the year of the memoir for me! Maybe later in the year I will get into the biographies more.

[@kidmarine7329]

That’s an impressive group of books.

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Impressive if I ever manage to move them from a "to be read" pile into the "read" one!

[@mrodriguez377]

I really want to read the books of jacob but it’s so intimidating to me because of how unfamiliar I am with the subject matter. Also I’m currently halfway through War and Peace and feel that I need to invest all my energy into reading that instead of starting another biggie

[@deadlizardreads1937]

So fair. I almost feel like I have to plan out when I’m going to read everything, knowing full well I will not stick to my plan.

[@lauraspruce2023]

Wow these are truly mammoths! Good luck:)

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Thank you! Yeah, it should be “Rest of the Year of the Mammoths” rather than March, but whatchya gonna do. 😂

[@End-Result]

Thanks for the vid, your channel deserves more attention

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

[@1ne251]

I enjoyed your video.
Question ??? Would you be interested in selling your The Count of Monte Cristo book. I really like the cover
Serious inquiry ……

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Yeah sure, DM me in insta: deadlizardreads

[@kiranreader]

good luck w/ these!! i'm in the middle of solenoid and a non-fic book a distant mirror, both of which i love, but i'm taking a break from them to read the int booker longlist. i started boj last year and did think it was a lot of fun but i left it in boston so haven't gotten a chance to finish lol

[@deadlizardreads1937]

Can wait to watch your wrap ups of those books, post-Booker frenzy 😛.

[@lyddie8]

I think you’re actually reading the nonfiction books you bought but I’m glad I’m not the only person who went through a phase of buying non-fiction books because I wanted to be a person who will read non-fiction. 😬 But I’m hoping to read at least one a month this year.

[@deadlizardreads1937]

I definitely was that person for a long time! Non fictions was an acquired taste for me, for sure!

[@mariaburrus3495]

Don’t know about English version, but Russian version of War and Piece has mammoth footnotes

[@deadlizardreads1937]

English too! So many notes 🫣

[@KDbooks]

BOJ! BOJ! BOJ!

[@deadlizardreads1937]

The crowd began a slow chant,

[@torres870rem]

Single?

[@Thetrilingualreader]

Did you love dead souls as much as i am loving it right now?

[@deadlizardreads1937]

I ended up putting it down after getting like 40 pages in... I really need to pick it back up and finish it this year!
