@@nathanielpreston5377 Thank you! It is great to be at 200. The thing about Spider-Man villains is that I love a lot of them. The variety of villains is one of my favorite parts in the story of Spider-Man. If I was to choose one it would probably be Doc. Ock from the comic books. He is a great villain in the comics. Another one of my favorites is J. Jonah Jameson. I love J.K. Simmons' profomance in the movie. He is not a supervillain but I love the way he hates Spiderman but loves Peter Parker. It is a cool part of the story. I also love the profomance of Willem Defoe as the Green Goblin. He is my favorite movie Supervillain. I also got to say I love the look of Venom in the comics.

I look forward to looking into that but I don't think I will be able to speak Spanish when I finish that book. However it might increase knowledge of Spanish.

Read - 1 TBR - 5 Dune was on my TBR last year and I was so glad that I got to it, I thought it’d be a lot harder to get into than it actually was, still think Duncan and Gurney are my favourite characters, but that could be due to the most recent movies. The Iliad and The Odyssey are 2 I’ve wanted to get to for ages as I grew up loving Greek Myths but they do kind of intimidate me too. Jane Eyre is liked by a couple of my friends so that’s how it ended up on my TBR, not sure how I’m going to enjoy it as I’ve seen a couple adaptations and can honestly say that I’m not a huge fan of Rochester. Moby Dick is on this month’s TBR and I’m surprisingly excited to finally be getting around to it, it just seems like the kind of book that everyone seems to have read but me. I have the King James Bible to get through, I myself am a staunch atheist but my mum’s side of the family are all Protestant so I’ve always wanted to read it all the way through especially since she passed and I know it meant a lot to her even though she herself was probably more spiritual than devout. Crime & Punishment and Lonesome Dove seem to be Booktube darlings and both intimidate the crap out of me, which seems sad as I love big books but I’m more of a fantasy or sci-fi fan and I’m not sure if reading them would be fun. Do you think there’s a way to trick my brain into thinking that they’re fantasy? 🤔 Might help

The Devil in the White City has been one of those books I see around in almost every bookstore but I don't know too many people who have read it. I think it has been in development hell for Hollywood for years. It seems like it would be a pretty ambitious film to make, but I love the story and time period. I was just looking up the Iliad today after Justin Neely's video. I haven't read a lot of Greek and Roman literature but this is one that is on my list because the Odyssey was a good read for me. I think I may have put off Dune long enough. I was always just so unsure about it because the desert environment seemed so boring but everyone says it's one of the greatest novels of all time. I don't doubt that know. You're assessment of Scarlet in Gone With the Wind seems spot on. Everyone says she is a tough pill to swallow but worth it. Very stubborn probably like she is in the movie. I think I like her already. My kinda lady which leads me into Lonesome Dove. I love Lorena in the book and T.V. series. I'm only 250 pages into the book now as part of a buddy read. We are going live tomorrow on RowdyPlayer1's channel to discuss the first part. The book is going to be in my top 10 for sure. Within the first 15 pages, I knew it was going to be great with Gus and Call. Gus may end up as one of my all time favorite literary characters just like in the series with Robert Duvall. I can picture both Tommy Lee Jones and Duval in my head as I read the book now. So good. I've never made it all the way through the Bible but I think I've read most of the New Testament. Use to do daily Devotions on an app and thought about starting it again. Well, this was a great list for your top 10.

I read the sequel The Streets of Laredo and that is a great book as well not as good as Lonesome Dove but a very good story. There is also a prequel that I hope I get a chance to read. Moby Dick is such a rich story. It really has a lot to give. The details you learn are fantastic. Also it is a great story. It also has a lot of biblical references and I when I read the Bible it comes to mind. Especially when you read the books of Kings and you hear about King Ahab. I read the Bible every day and I love it more and more the further get. It is a great book. It is a great way to start my day. Thank you for watching and your comments. It is great to have you here!

Read - 3 TBR - 4 I Am Legend is interesting in that with all the adaptions that have been made, not one seems to actually be accurate to the book, which is a shame as that was a great ending that Mathieson wrote. Jaws is one where I have to admit that I prefer the film over the book s the characters we far more likeable than in the book. Hobbit is the best kids book ever and I will fight people on that 🤣 Exorcist movie didn’t scare me but I did like it, looking forward to getting to the book. Alice in Wonderland is something I’ve been trying to get to forever, one day I’ll get to it. Of Mice and Men is one I definitely want to read, we didn’t have required reading at my school so I’ve never gotten to it, hopefully I'll like it more as a adult then I would of as a kid. Silence of the Lambs movie is great, still can’t believe that Hannibal isn’t even on screen that much. And next will be “The Final Countdown” 🥳

@@jenniparks8539 The Last Man on Earth is pretty close. It is closer that the other two that I know of. However I like all three but I love the book. Jaws is a fantastic movie. The characters are great in that movie. The affair of Hooper and Brody's wife is very raunchy but I still love the book. I love the book and the movie about the same. Both are fantastic in my opinion. The Hobbit is absolutely wonderful. It is an amazing adventure. I love so many parts in that story. Every part of that book is great. I can see why you call it the best book ever. It is a fantastic book. If you like the Exorcist movie you should like the book. The book follows the movie very well. There are some differences but movie is a lot like the book. Alice in Wonderland is a lot like the Hobbit where every part in it is great. The imagination in that book is wonderful. Through the Looking Glass is great as well. Just about all copies have that included with Alice in Wonderland. It really is a great book. Of Mice and Men is even better when you are an adult. If books can make you cry this one will do that. It is a fantastic book and it will not take a long time to read. It is a very short book that will stay with you a long time after you read it. If you like or love Silence of the Lambs you will feel the same about the book. That book is fantastic just like the movie is fantastic. Hannibal Lecter is a great character. The parts about Buffalo Bill are gripping and interesting. You should like it when you get around to reading it. Thank you for your comments. It is great to hear how you feel about these books. You have some great books to look forward to. Thank you for watching. It is wonderful to have you here!

The Exorcist is another one of those books where the movie only enhances it. When I read it, it was almost as scary as the movie but in a different way. I think the movie overshadows how good the book is. I have the Godfather, bought it last year, might do a movie and book review together when I read it. If you like a thinking man's vampire story, then I am Legend is your book. Really good story about survival and loneliness. Great lead character. If people are on the fence about Mice and Men, they should give it a try. The 1992 movie is a faithful adaptation. The actress Sherylyn Fenn actually liked my comment on Instagram about the movie. She has been my only movie star crush since high school so I was pretty excited when she commented. Read Silence of the Lambs last year and Clarice Starling is one of my all time favorite characters. Hardworker in the book and movie. Confession time: I stole Jaws from Room 217 when I stayed at the Stanley. They had a bunch of books and I couldn't resist it. But I did leave a book, so I guess it's even. Read The Hobbit in 1992 and had to talk my teacher into putting it on the reading list for credit. We'll see what you have for the top 10. 10-20 I had read quite a few so we have similar tastes.

@@someothercharacter Two people that have KZbin channels did a review of the Exorcist that didn't like the book. Both of them haven't seen the movie. I think that if you want to truly enjoy it you got to see the movie. I love that book because I love that movie. What a great performance by Linda Blair. The scariest 12 year old girl ever! It would be great to see you do a Godfather movie/book review. I would definitely enjoy seeing that. I Am Legend is great one. The second time I read it it hit me that Adam Neville was the villain of the story. I didn't realize that the first time. The part with the dog broke my heart. Of Mice and Men also broke my heart. That ending was a hit in the gut. I hope I can get a chance to see the 1992 adaptation. I love that story and wouldn't mind seeing it again. You know the first video I saw on your channel was the Silence of the Lambs Ranking every stare Clarice receives. That was a great video. I know how much you love that movie. I totally agree. It is a fantastic movie! Jaws has been a favorite of mine for the longest time. I was blown away by that book and I still am. The Hobbit is another one that is outstanding. I love that story. The cartoon is better than all three of the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies combined. It is a fantastic cartoon. The music in it is great. The Greatest Adventure song is wonderful. Yes we do enjoy a lot of the same movies and books. It is nice to know someone who shares the same interests. Thank you for watching and your wonderful comments. It is awesome to have you here!

Read - 4 TBR - 3 Witches was one of my favourites as a kid, and I’m looking forward to a reread. Animal Farm was short but powerful, it was scary how fast everything changed. Time Machine was a very recent read for me, I was surprised that most characters were never named. Invisible Man was good, I’d probably get mischievous with those abilities too though maybe not quite so extreme. Omen, Edgar Allen Poe, Pet Sematary are all on TBRs at some point, I’ve seen the adaptations so now I curious about the books to see what they changed

@@jenniparks8539 The Witches is truly a book that grabs your attention at the beginning. It has a fantastic opening. It is one of my favorites as well. I love the grandmother. She is a fantastic character. I plan on re reading it as well. It is my introduction to Roald Dahl and I really love his books. Animal Farm is great too. It is an amazing story. It is a book that is never boring. It keeps you invested through the whole book. The Time Machine is another one that is great. I enjoy HG Wells. His books are great. I really love the Invisible Man. It is a fun story. I love the movie as well. I wouldn't like to have the power of invisibility because you have to be naked and that would be very cold. It wouldn't be too bad in summer time having that ability. Edger Allen Poe has a lot of short stories. This is great because you don't have to give a lot of commitment to discover his work. A Tell Tale Heart is one of my favorites. The Black Cat is an other one. If you like poetry The Raven is one of the best poems of all time. He is an incredible author and I am sure if you give him some time you won't be disappointed. The Omen is a lot like the movie. It is a very fast paced story. I loved reading it. Also Pet Sematary is a great Stephen King story. It has been one of my favorites for a long time now. It is a great book. Thank you for watching and your comments. It is great to have you here!

I have Witches but haven't read it yet. Might read it in April or March. The film Witches was so well done with practical effects. It's really scary for children. Animal Farm was a recent reread and it's getting remade into a movie with Andy Serkis who played Gollum directing. I always felt bad for the horse Boxer. Worked himself till he was broken. Read The Time Machine last year and that was a big hit for me. Enjoyed the Morlocks. Kinda sympathetic to their plight, actually. I've thought bout skipping ahead to read Pet Semetary but I've already skipped ahead for IT so I'll continue back in order. Psycho and Omen look fun too if there as good as the movies. And I read my first Poe last year for the first time since high school. I like his style. Hard to beleive his stuff around 180 years old.

Read - 4 TBR - 3 Hitchhikers was great, I loved Marvin. The first half of Dracula bored me but after Lucy turned I was hooked. I always feel bad that Charlotte's Web didn’t grab me as much as I thought it would. First few Narnia books were good, really not a fan of the last one, he did Susan dirty. Treasure Island was a lot of fun, another one that the Muppets did really well with.
