Fun tag and fantastic view!!
11/22/63 and The Stand are on my list of books to read this year. I just started reading King late last year and I have a handful that I’m still hoping to read.
Thanks a million. 11/22/63 and The Stand are a bit intimidating because of how big they are, but they’re two of his best.
Great tag and beautiful scenery! I loved 11/22/63, will be interesting to hear your thoughts. I would agree, I have also read the uncut version of The Stand and it is a big boy! I really disliked Bleak House, required reading for me at university. Great dinner party! 🤣 I added Hannibal Lector as the chef, under close supervision of course. 🤣Harry Potter was a fun series. Great responses!
@@CliffsDarkGems Thank you! I like Bleak House a lot, but that’s because I actually wanted to read it. Required reading is never fun, that’s why I’ve developed a life long allergy to Jane Austin.
Definitely loving 11/22/63. I hadn’t actually read any King since the Dark Tower apart from a brief dip back in for Wind Through The Keyhole, but this one might just have opened that door up again for me.
@@TheBookThing Happy Reading! The only Dickens I ever loved was A Tale Of Two Cities. I love Stephen King and am planning a re-read of the entire Dark Tower soon.
Hi Mark. Great video and beautiful landscape! I'm coming here after a shout-out by Cliff's Dark Gems and am a new subscriber. Even though I didn't much care for A Confederacy of Dunces, I like the content. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a million @@Michael_Wertenberg for watching and subscribing and I’m glad you liked it. Cliff is such a good dude.
lol. That’s kinda my point about Confederacy of Dunces, people have wildly different experiences with it so how can anyone possible say if it’s objectively good or not. There’s plenty of highly regarded prizewinning, books I can’t stand. It’d be boring if we were all the same.
A Confederacy of Dunces and Catch 22 are two of my favorite books.
@@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks thanks for watching, they are wonderful aren’t they ?
Welcome to BookTube. I’m Debs and I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video. The scenery was majestic and your content really interesting. I shall subscribe immediately 😊
@@RaynorReadsStuff lovely to meet you Debs, and thanks a million, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I’ll have to try and get out in the hills for more videos, weather permitting of course. 😁
Hello Mark. Best wishes with your reading choices and to your channel. Pretty new to book tube and just finding my way around. Great that you have gone up a mountain. My other channel is the Reluctant Fell Runner.. Have put up a fell running comedy. Happy reading to you!
@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk hey thanks a million. I like being on the hills but I actively avoid running so more power to you.
Welcome to Booktube from a fellow newbie. Just subscribed, keep reading and having fun!
@@PulpMortem thanks so much man. And can I just say that your vid on the 20 worst sci-fi book names is spectacular. 😂
I feel like you’ll get to the end of the journey of Bumsider only to find that it was Bumside you all along.
@@TheBookThing LOL!
