Great review. I loved the book; I thought it was hilarious. But you are 100% right, it is not for some people. It’s not that they wouldn’t understand, but a reader deserves the choice to live with or without going into that hell. The boredom, the coldness, the sharp hallucination. Very funny Not a super evil book, but I tote understand if someone would rather not eat that shit sandwich

Also when he was doing the research for the book, he came across that study that was done & It showed that most of the people that work on wall street, have psychopathic tendencies... to have a job like that, to take money from people and not feel any guilt or remorse or any motion at all played a major part of Bateman working on Wallstreet. Very interesting no?

I just want to stop the list of brands it feels like a commercials 😅 excruciatingly difficult to even listen to those parts

Very well explained.. I'll buy it

The book is great. Minus a few dull points. I like the gore in it. ❤❤❤

Oww so the season cover it all in the 1st season .. i thought there was more in the book disappointed 😔

I'm about 80% thru and I made it by just skipping both torture scenes and Pat discussing music. In some ways the book is pretty funny, and I wish an adaptation would show more of their inability to tell each other apart, that's SO central to the book; they can recognize brands but not faces. It also feels very intentional the way the book has no plot progression, previous chapters don't relate to the current one, people can disappear and it doesn't matter, actions have no consequences. But he just tortured two escorts to death and it was COMPLETELY redundant. It does feel to some extent like gruesome detailed descriptions of sexually torturing women with just enough padding you can publish it and say, it's satire, I wrote it and people read it for the greater *message* that it fits into in *context*. Yeah buddy. Sure. I wouldn't go anywhere alone with Bret Easton Ellis.

You'll probably get a better understanding of Ellis, and the world he comes from, from _The Shards_ (this is very long but works exceptionally well as an audiobook, as it's also narrated by the Author himself). Give it a go.

Buddy, can we please, for god's sake, get any point soon. Like some sort of summary and alnalysis.

It’s a masterpiece. It’s wildly entertaining and an exaggerated glimpse into the lives of Wall Street guys in the 80s. It’s very offensive in every way, but I love it.

American Psycho is a masterpiece. Don't listen to this pleb

Such great recommendations!!! Daughters of Olympus sounds so good that I immediatly added it on my TBR 😆

I actually met Mariah Stillbrook, as a 13 yr old she came to my school which only a few people signed up to see her but I actually got her autograph and we asked a bunch of questions. Me and my friends were geeking out so much 😭

😊❤😊

Oh my god! The poisoner!!! I haven't seen anyone mention it yet till now! Love the video btw super relaxing to watch!

I was just your 666th subscriber 😂👹

From what I heard 120 Days of Sodom is just as disgusting as American Psycho but the other book lacks the satirical element of American Psycho Haven't read the book but watched the movie and its pretty good and not as gory as the book

Graham you are not alone. I stumbled upon this book by watching the same Audi commercial . The first time I thought okay that's interesting. Then I saw it again thinking okay I need to buy this book. Once that decision was made I have never seen that commercia again. Bought the hard cover, loved it, and have been listening and reading books by Ryan Holiday who has done extensive work on Stoicism. In fact I bought his book Daily Meditations which gives you a meditation for every day of the year. Love it!!!!! I told a friend of mine about Stoicism because she was reading about it, then told her about the car commercial......how fortuitous!! You never know how spirit will speak or lead. Thanks Graham...

Sooo many new free little libraries have been popping up lately, which is super cool to see!! Great video 🎉

sooooo...you just don't like horror.

Have you guys eaten at Beaver Street Brewery? And of course going to Bookman's. 😊

What a beautiful area and a great place to walk around and visit Little Free Libraries.

Lincoln in the Bardo is an excellent snag. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it.

I'm leaving this comment because you look and sound just like a librarian at my library. I know you're not him cause I live in Ohio. His name is Justin. Also is it breaking a ban if she bought you it?

True! I don't always pick something from a lfl, but with little free libraries i can try out some authors i've never read. Or indeed some books i would never had picked out. My best find ever , was a book which was very high on my wishlist :D

I’m very excited for daughters of Olympus! It’s been on my radar for a little while, and I’m interested to see Demeter’s involvement in this since, as you said, that is a little different from most well known retellings. The other books sound really cool as well! 🫶🏼

You are very cool ... Summary of the email that I would have written, but too lazy so it's happening her instead. ☺

Let me know what Indie Books you are excited for this month!

SO JEALOUSSS. We have one little library and it's a little small w/ mostly kids books 🥹 I'm also absolutely in love of small book stores because I feel like the little comments from the workers make my day and help me pick 😂 It's almost like having an anonymous book bestie HAHA.

Nice video! I love Little Free Libraries. My town has a ton, but they're usually all kids books. I go into the city to the nicer areas if I'm looking to find some to trade books with that have things I'm interested in.

I’m not really a fan of the use of “toxic masculinity” in today’s society, but holy crap I have no defense for almost all of the guys in this book and can’t fault you for using that term here. Also, I listened to the book using the AI audiobook KZbin video read by Christian Bale, so it made it significantly easier to get through

Yeah modern covers are there specifically to help the reader to judge it 😃👍

Gunna seem so random but what is that Tor book with the green spine on your top shelf? (Top left of screen) hah

Call Us What We Carry is good! I haven't read a ton of poetry, but I did overall enjoy it! So fun you found so many Little Free Libraries.

Cool video! LOVE Flagstaff - great little city! Happy Reading!

Congrats on your six month anniversary! Nice to see the Little Free Libraries. Looking forward to lots more fun videos in the future :)

Nice video. That bookstore looks wonderful and how great to be able to walk to all those little free libraries.

Cool video. That court house free little library looked so cute. Too bad it didn't have that many book. 🙂 Nice finds.☺

Love the little Free LIbrary videos. I need to get out to my local area and see what I can find.

The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker is so good! It's a lit book, and hardly anyone is aware of it, but I absolutely loved it. If it's there next time, grab it!

Thanks for watching this little vlog of my favorite place to Little Free Library Exchange! 😀

I've read (well, listened to) all of Sanderson's books and imo Sanderlanche is not about twists. It's about the culmination of all the foreshadowings coming together in the finale. Yes, if you pay close attention and are good with theorycrafting, all of it will be super obvious, but from what I've seen of Sanderson's interviews and videos - that's exactly what he wants. He wants the reader to pay attention and then pay off on that attention.

One of my absolute favorite books of all time.

Too late. I’ve read the book woke activists tried to ban and it was a killer.

Happy 6 months! 🎉 Love that your June theme somehow became books about curses..??? Hahaha

Sleep regression is ROUGH! Good for you for taking stock of your time and space and figuring out what you really want to do on the channel. (Side note: I am finishing editing a video now that may or may not be a tag video and I may or may not have tagged you. Feel free to ignore! 😂 I won't be offended!) I am SO GLAD you liked Addie LaRue!! I totally get the difficulty with reading comprehension. 🤣 For me the difficulty is in being put on the spot. I'll sit down to recap and be like.....wait what was this about? 😂

loved this video. Such a good idea! Dressed in lincoln green and wearing tights is a great look for bookshopping!

Pace yourself, Graham! Burn out is REAL so please only do the videos that you love 🥰 A video a week is already a nice treat! This month has been full of work so I haven't been able to read as much as I wanted. I thought for SURE I'd be done with the newest release from Ali Hazelwood -- Not in Love, but I haven't even gotten to it. 😅 Happy belated Father's Day to you!!

Agree with you on The Bullet Swallower. May I suggest Rudy Ruiz 1. The Resurrection ... 2. Valley of .... Margaret Pinard wrote The Kerning (Book 1 of 3) and at one point, I was crying and pulled up Google I had to know the outcome. She has written so well the story and historical portion I thought they were real people.
