Mike is a great artist ❤

Sigurd of Vanaheim you barnacled old Whale! By the ivory teats of Ishtar and Shaitan's fiery member, Conan! It's good to see you. Last I heard of you you were lording it as a king in the Hybiorian land of Aquilonia. What brings you here man! I loved this story even though it had only tenuous ties to REH.

Yea! Good job!

I hope all is well with you, Daniel. 👋

Wow, I can’t believe how close to them you got! ✨

Hey, there's nothing like a little retail therapy. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Dubliners is nothing like Ulysses or Portrait. They're short stories, and they're excellent.

Fun haul!

I just got T.H. White's ... The Sword in the Stone from my local library last week. Started the book but had a few things to do. Hopefully can start back up tonight or Sunday. See how much I can read in 2 to 3 hours.

Those giant anthologies by Otto Penzler are usually big fun. I've really enjoyed all the Harold Lamb stories I've read.

Hi. I appreciate your honesty in your review of Chronicles, even though The Chronicles of Amber is my favorite Fantasy Book Series. You said something in a reply in the comments though that I want to comment on: "I guess my issue is that with a little imagination there is very little at stake. The characters have almost infinite resources and cannot be maimed." I assure you they can be maimed. If I was able to run a sword through Corwin, he would die. Outside of being killed though, yes, he's immortal. Also, there is a LOT at stake. Maybe that will become clear with books 2-5. Books 6-10 is an entirely different series though, and has nothing to do with this series, just so you know. Last time I read this series was over 30 years ago, and it fascinated my young mind to no end, but I'm a big fan of D&D, so that might've had something to do with it 🙂 I'm now listening to Roger narrate it here on yt, while I read my big Amber book, and I have to say, reading while listening to him at the same time is most enjoyable. Since your channel is about reading books, any chance I could get you to read mine, and let me know what you think? Mine is also a series, and I've currently written Books One and Two, and have also narrated them on my channel, so if you'd like to listen a little, feel free. Both books are in a Playlist, and the title is 'Forestera's Fate'. It's basically D&D in story-form. Lastly, and this is the other reason I'm commenting; in my second book, I bring Corwin and Amber into my story. At first I just did it for fun, and wasn't sure if I was going to leave it in, but it got so involved that I didn't really have a choice anymore. Hope you check it out.

Great wrap up! I just watched the 1933 movie today and had to also laugh at the "blood-thirsty" herbivore dinosaurs destroying those guys. It was great, especially the close-ups of the giant Kong smiling face :D. The movie was really amazing for it's time, I felt. That's so nice you could enjoy this with your son! I think my Kong movie watching is going to continue into May as well. Also, I loved the King of Kong documentary! I think my brother met a bunch of them (Walter, Steve and Billy) at either Funspot one year or Kong Off. So funny. I had a t-shirt that said "If anybody wants to see, there's a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up" 😂. That documentary is such a gem, lol. Hope you are feeling better!

Great stuff! Love the pic at the start - how did you know what the rest of our house looks like 😆 Glad you enjoyed the event! And the 33 film and book, agree they're kind of magic. And yes, surprisingly high body count including the unfortunate woman who isn't Ann Darrow and gets dropped. Love the games- have you tried Horrified, the Universal Monsters one?

Check out Mighty Joe Young. The old and new one. I always enjoyed those films. My brother-in-law recently watched the original King Kong and didn't know how it ended. He was a bit (comment withheld due to possible spoiler.) He cries easily.

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Very good but I might be some time! Happy reading.

I'm usually not someone to tell someone else to unequivocally AVOID another book. But I'll say this: I read "Trilby" last year and it was by far one of the worst, most overblown piece of purple prose I've ever read in my entire life. How it happened to be a best seller in its own day is something that continues to make me question the taste of the reading public. But if you do read it, I'd still be fascinated to know what you think. (But seriously, it's horrible.)

no judgement, going to a bookstore is time and money well spent.

Woah, that creepy laugh at 17:29 😂 Fun tag! I'm reading my first Stephen King (Nightmares and Dreamscapes) now so I don't have any opinions yet, but I loved the movie IT and I'm sure I'll get to that one eventually.

Poor little Billy, lol. 🖖 The Big Book of Adventure Stories is a genius title. Glad to hear it's living up to it's name! I ate up those Flowers of the Attic books when I was young. I know I shouldn't have been reading them, but they were like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. Space Platform! That one sounds like it's going to be a gem, haha. Awesome haul and never feel guilty! You look so happy talking about the great books you found. :)

Great tag video! I still need to read both Desperation and The Regulators. I used to own a copy of The Bachman Books, was pretty upset to lose it. I also DNFd Under The Dome, although I like to use the term "shelved" as I plan to pick it up again in future. I loved The Stand, but hey, each to their own! 😂 His books are almost always better then the movie. Creep Show is awesome!

(Psst. Tags can be released on days besides Tuesdays. 😉) I enjoyed hearing your answers even though I’ve never read King.

Loved this! - I'd love to have you on the show that me and Dave do every fortnight if you're interested Dan. Love how you have such a long relationship with Stephen King. I have too, but I've been slow at reading him even though I love his work. Love the reference to MKV hahaha

Been ages since I read this! I should seriously revisit it.

Thank you, for doing my original tag The King Of Horror Stephen King Tag that I created. Where in New York are you originally from?

Ohh, I amuse you? But am I more amusing than Joe Pesci? I literally put The Stand down and saw I had a notification. I have 500 pages left to read and will finish it this month. Unfortunately, I know one of the big spoilers and am a bit upset at myself for listening to so many King interviews with spoiler talk. My wife was watching this with me and she was all like "ahh no he ain't gonna say The Stand is his least..." It's one of her favorite books and T.V. series. I believe Jess the Book Girl came up with this particular tag version. King and Poe once got into an argument about me being their favorite fan and it got out of control. True story. I look forward to your next tag video. Notifications set to stun.

Old time radio! Yay! Abridged audio books….BOO! Great tag video.

Always fun to watch someone acquiring books they are excited about.

I get quizzed every time I ship media mail. Depending when you’re going to read The Visitors, I could buddy read it with you… I got that copy not that long ago. I also recently picked up City.

Live Long and Prosper is from Spock, but he seeded it in human history during a time travel mission, he also left behind a pack of skittles. What is that book on your shelf two books over from the red lord of the rings, with like hills and grass on, is that a different tolkien thing? Those TH Whites are lovely. Book retail therapy is great, at least you arent into black tar heroin or buying shoes.

Things I learned this video: 1. Where the word "Svengali" came from. 2. Patrick Henry said: "Give me liberty or give me skittles." 3. You can "kinda" sorta get books in the mail. 4. Every boy has a natural and healthy fear of vampires. 5. Your brother-in-law probably has good taste in books. 6. On Stickers: You'll be tempted to tear it off. Don't. You'll only wind up rippin' the cover and you don't like that. 7. Print on demand covers = icky 8. You are on KZbin for the $$$$

I don't need the excuse of a rough week to buy books:)

Nothing dumb about buying more books! And now you've got me thinking about my own copy of "The Big Book of Adventure Stories" for Spring into Adventure ...

I remember that subliminal phase - secret pictures hidden in the ice cubes of product advertisement and whatnot. In retrospect what Koontz is doing must seem a lot clearer. Universal Studios sounds cool! Glad you’re feeling better.

Glad you’re feeling better! It’s exhausting to be sick, while also having to work and take care of kids 😩. I’m glad you liked Chocolat as that’s one of my favorites! I read the book and then saw the movie so yeah, I was surprised by the Johnny Depp romance, but not actually super surprised. Hollywood. I honestly had no idea their were more books. I’ll take one for the team and read them and let you know if they’re worth it because now I’m curious 😏. That King Kong ride was the best! The Back to the Future one blew my mind too 🎉.

Great to see you back! Beautiful Kong paperback

He's back!

Glad you're back -- and with a haircut, too!

Just lying in bed waiting for my triple shot latte to wear off from this morning. Watching CZsworld and you're notification let's me know that you're back to the land of the living BookTubers. Bacterial and viral at the same time? That's the worse. Double whammy. I've only read The Taking by Koontz and it was okay. What I do like about Koontz is his commitment to the same haircut for 50 years. It's like his trademark. Glad your feeling better. Chug a big glass of water before bed. That's the one thing that has helped me stay relatively healthy this year. The one New Year's resolution I've stuck with. More water less pop.
