Book Tag - Liar Liar Pants on Fire Tag

[@jonathankirkendall1306]

That was so much fun to watch Mike! And thanks for tagging all those folks - I made a note and will take a look at their videos this rainy weekend.

[@FIT2BREAD]

Thanks J

[@jeremyfee]

Fun tag. Ready Player One is awesome. I'll go even deeper into unpopular opinions and say I enjoyed the sequel. Peace.

[@FIT2BREAD]

Thanks J. Im not surprised that if someone likes RPO they might appreciate RP2 at least for being able to spend time in the same world... Ready Player 2 was a big miss for me tho

[@jeremyfee]

@@FIT2BREAD BTW, I wrote a cyberpunk story and thought of you. :)

[@FIT2BREAD]

oooh i need to read it@@jeremyfee

[@jeremyfee]

@@FIT2BREAD currently revising but I'll eventually get it to you. :)

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'm with you... Ready Player One was fun. It's not a masterpiece but I had a good time with it. Great for reluctant readers

[@FIT2BREAD]

Exactly how I feel

[@SciFiScavenger]

I'm also old enough that many of the 80s references were from my formative years. I liked it. 👍

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Ha ha! This was a lot of fun, Mike! If you post your address, I’ll send you a fire extinguisher to help you with your pants! It might be too late by the time it arrives, though . . .

[@FIT2BREAD]

Philip...be reasonable. Do you know what shipping costs would run on something like that?

[@angusmckeogh659]

I wouldn't put much stock in Moid's opinion. His channel has basically abandoned the sci-fi BookTube angle at this point and he's making home movies or something. Moreover, his grading scale is skewed. He'd frequently pan a book (when he used to do reviews) and then he'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10.

[@noeditbookreviews]

Yeah, I've noticed out of all the reviewers that read the same stuff I do, he'll hate more books that I like.

[@FIT2BREAD]

Moid's a great guy and I truly was only teasing with the Ready Player One Stuff. He recently made solid arguments around why he didn't like it (recently on a livestream on Mikes Book Reviews). I blew through RPO it was such a fast and fun read. I'm probably the worst, because I like pretty much everything I read. I am working more on speaking up on the parts of books i think warrant more criticism.

[@MaedBetweenthePages]

I LOVE this tag idea...hope you don't mind me doing it on my channel in the near future! The prompts are really unique and I think I would have a lot of fun with it :) I also enjoyed Ready Player One...at least your not alone in that 😂 The Man in the High Castle has been on my radar for a really long time...the concept really intrigues me It's so crazy how differently books can hit at different times in our lives. Makes re-reads perpetually interesting :)

[@FIT2BREAD]

Thanks. Definitely. Consider yourself tagged! It's interesting doing a lot of re reads...how some books really are a different experience years between reads

[@MaedBetweenthePages]

@@FIT2BREAD thank you!

[@Blue-xk8vq]

Don't tag him he was just arrested by the FBI, he admitted to being a pedophiIe.

[@MaedBetweenthePages]

@@Blue-xk8vq just looked into this and good lord. Will no longer be doing anything that can link back to this monster. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Blue-xk8vq]

@@MaedBetweenthePages No problem, sorry had to share the bad news but it's better to know. You are welcome!

[@noeditbookreviews]

I love this channel. I can read all nonfiction and just watch these videos instead of taking the hours to read fiction!

[@FIT2BREAD]

haha. ill take the compliment, but should I also try harder to nudge people to read fiction? haha.

[@MoonLightAmethyst_]

Totally doing this #2 is going to hurt

[@FIT2BREAD]

my memory is so bad, i had to look up what #2 was haha

[@DaisyXMachina]

What a terrible tag! (I'm lying!) Thanks for the tag!

[@FIT2BREAD]

u r awesome! u shady B... ;)

[@bookspin]

This was fun to watch! I'm reassured to hear a positive perspective on Ready Player One. My wife gave me a copy as a gift earlier this year, and all I knew of it at the time was "oh that's the book that Moid always pans!"

[@FIT2BREAD]

thanks...and oh crud...I really meant to tag you on this one...I kept thinking I forgot someone!!

[@bookspin]

@@FIT2BREAD No worries, I appreciate it

[@dalejones4322]

Moid's Mum says he's always been a bit of a liar lol. Great video man. Really great idea too. Lots of fun.

[@FIT2BREAD]

ha thanks. i was thinking about working a mum joke in there...but alas...

[@garthok6224]

Video Suggestion: best Latin American science fiction books. Because no one talks about any

[@FIT2BREAD]

Written by Latin American authors or taking place in Latin America?

[@jameshendrix8217]

so far for me almost all the retro hugo award books were terrible and highly overrated, totally agree with you on "city", CS thought people would abandon cities and the land would be worthless.

[@FIT2BREAD]

I wouldn't say all...but I'd agree with "many.:

[@jameshendrix8217]

@@FIT2BREAD Ya I've read every winner from 39-45 incl novellas and short story winners , only a few ok. Robert A. Heinlein winners were def the worst, way overrated.

[@wordfullyyours]

This is an interesting tag. I might do a video for it.

[@FIT2BREAD]

thanks. Consider yourself belated tagged!

[@MoonLightAmethyst_]

This is what I was going to name my next video 😅

[@FIT2BREAD]

oh? great minds think alike?

[@OurRawHeart]

Moid's initial review of 3 Body Problem, and the fact he hasn't (I think)read The Dark Forest and Death's End. But he's right on Ready Player One. MUCK!!!😂 Unpopular opinion, I found The Mote In God's Eye overrated. As its lauded for its world-building and story. A book I reread and changed my opinion.... Loved Foundation in my late teens, found it slightly disappointing 2 years ago, aged 46. And my rereads of Aldiss and Simak are now mind-blowing, opposite of what I felt 20 years ago.

[@FIT2BREAD]

thanks for sharing, so cool to hear your answers...and they def make sense. Im curious how a Mote reread will go for me...

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

ready player one wasn't bad think people thought it was kind of YA or just plain silly but it has that great atheist rant and sadly the future portrayed in the bk could turn out to be close to what may actually happen but yes klara was kind of unoriginal and dull but he's got his nobel already and might not care much ⚛😀

[@FIT2BREAD]

Yeah maybe he was just phoning it in Frank

[@SciFiScavenger]

thanks for the tag! i shall give it some thought. i can already tell you that my generally highly rated but actually a bit shit author will be....wait for it.....PKD! or is that a lie? let's just say, based on my 2 PKD books so far, i am underwhelmed. the Dick Emperor is not wearing any clothes. that sounds....wrong, somehow. k i'm leaving now... 8-)

[@FIT2BREAD]

Dick uncovered?

[@psikeyhackr6914]

#1 Yeah, way too many people panned Ready Player One. Too many people bitching about 80s nostalgia. I was fixing computers and networks in the 80s not playing games.
