The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book drop everything you're doing and find an ebook called Genius Hidden Tricks, trust me on this speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

Nick - thank you for your list ! I borrowed "Small Things Like These" from the library and it was outstanding ! Now I have her others in my queue to read as they become available. I loved The Fisherman - the imagery evoked of the Leviathan and the beach and sea have stayed with me long past the day I finished the book. It's not for everyone but I would recommend anyone who likes horror that is off the beaten path to give it a try at least. Anyway - have been enjoying your videos. Keep at it ! - Brian (PIttsburgh)

It's so awesome to hear that you got into reading as an adult, and I commend that decision. I helped my best friend get into reading in his 20s, and now its one of our favorite ways to connect. We both actually just finished reading The Bluest Eye. I think reading is so important for a variety of reasons, and in our overstimulated world especially. It's so important to be able to put down everything and sit down in a quiet place and read. Regardless of what im reading, it's always meditative and, most crucially, sharpens my focus and attention span while engaging my critical thinking and empathy. Focused, deep reading will always be one of the best things you can do for your brain.

Misery, Carrie and The Shining are King’s best IMO. IT is fun enough, but bloated and overblown like The Stand. His short story collection ‘Night Shift’ is fantastic, I definitely recommend you check it out. Happy reading man.

I found a cool book that's letters between John Steinbeck and his editor while Steinbeck was writing East of Eden, like starting from when it was just a few sketches of a place he wanted his sons to be able to see. I love how important the setting is for him

[@SallieAddison]

I am an avid reader, always have been. My 18 year old daughter just started reading. She is a horse girl, she works at an equine veterinary clinic and at a horse ranch. She knows a lot about horses. So when she started reading again, she was drawn to stories that involve cowboys or horses. She started a popular series about cowboy love but was so turned off by he book because the parts involving horses was inaccurate and cringy ( her words). I just found Lonesome Dove at a local thrift sale and bought it for her. Thank you for the recommendation. I love your videos. You recommended real books that have stories with substance and beautiful writing.

[@siwelify]

Kafka's writing is fascinating. From my own top 10 - The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, Dune by Frank Herbert, To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

The wistful look when reviewing Lonesome Dove says it all. It's an incredible book and I was upset when I finished it too. No longer being 'on the trail' was a shock lol. And even now think fondly of all the characters. It's personally my no 1. Like you say the dialogue is epic. Happy reading!

Most people who I know who are heavy readers started when they were young. It came natural to them and continues to be. I don't know if it was my attention span or just lack of interest in my youth but I never became a "reader".

I'm so happy you included Claire Keegan. I have also read "Foster," which you mentioned, and I've never been struck by a book as much.

Did you enjoy it ? It's on my To Read list.

[@Capn_FTB]

I’ve re-read The Stand about 4-5 times. It’s truly a masterpiece. I’m really trying to hold off reading 11/22/63 because it just seems like one of those books where people consistently put it in their top however many books even if they don’t like King. He’s also getting up there in age and I’m almost done with his most notable bibliography, so I’m just trying to save his possible best works for a special occasion. 11/22/63, Duma Key, IT, Pet Semetary, and Night Shift are all my hold outs that I can’t wait to read one day.

[@lexileemoney6205]

God I am so jealous you get to read IT AND 11:2263 for the first time…..

[@losingstreak415]

I listened to the audio book of 11.22.63 and there was a section at the end where King talked about the writing of this novel and he said his son, Joe Hill(another fantastic writer), actually gave him the idea for the ending, which is probably why I liked the ending so much.

[@PeachyCarnehanWI]

I listened to 11/22/63 and literally had to pull off a busy interstate because the ending had me weeping. I love everything King, but this one really hit me hard. Thanks for giving it some love!

Love your taste in books. The Fisherman, & Small Things Like These are two books I really want to get round to reading, & i loved the miniseries adaptation of Lonesome Dove with Robert Duvall & Tommy Lee Jones when i was a kid, so i definitely need to check that book out too. As for my top 10 books, they are: 1- Cold Mountain 2- Snow Falling On Cedars 3- Norwegian Wood 4- White Oleander 5- One Day 6- I'm Thinking Of Ending Things 7- Sharp Objects 8- Atonement 9- Frankenstein 10- Interview With The Vampire

I really enjoyed this list. I’m glad that you listed books that you like to read b/c I hate seeing books like Ulysses by James Joyce or things like that listed b/c they are not enjoyable books to read - at all. But, they make you seem smart and they always appear on lists. I’ve read at least half of the books on your list and enjoyed all of them. I thought 11/23/1963 was absolutely amazing as well. I used to read The Lord of the Rings every 7 years or so for about 30 years and The Fellowship of the Ring remains my favorite of the trilogy. Love your enthusiasm.

Never apologize for liking what you like brother. I’ve been reading books since I was 10 I’m 35 now love it when people get into reading it opens entire worlds. I’m not big into horror but you got some books I’ve never heard of on your list will definitely be giving them a read keep going man! Btw the stand is a great book

[@Korrok13]

GREAT list! Also wanted to mention that Stephen King has said Lonesome Dove is possibly his favorite novel.

[@queenvrook]

If you haven't read Hearts in Atlantis, by Stephen King, it's on a par with 11/22/63 in my view. A writer who is lesser-known today but is incredibly good is Gerald Kersh. Prelude to a Certain Midnight is a short novel, maybe 100 pages, which starts as a cozy mystery and ends somewhere quite a bit darker. It's a good example of his narrative powers and a short sample of what he can do in his novels. Happy reading!

[@happymaskedguy1943]

Some of my favourites: - The Oxford Book of Ghost Stories - The Wind in the Willows - Stoner (John Williams) - Winesburg Ohio - Russian Short Stories (Penguin) *this books is an essential read IMO, every story is fantastic, some are life-changing* - Guy Du Maupassant Short Stories - Something Wicked This Way Comes (Bradbury) - The Hound of the Baskervilles - Wizard of Earthsea - Matilda (Dahl) *the first book I ever bought, it’s wonderful* I’ll add more later. But these are all bangers.

[@mathewbarnes4468]

One of my all time fav memories is when on my honeymoon last year I watched a video of yours about 11.22.63 and it really made me want to buy and read it, and after searching most places in New Zealand I finally found a copy in a old corner bookshop and I almost had a heart attack when I seen it haha. Top 3 for sure.

I went back and re-read as soon as I had an official empty nest, and it's a totally different experience. It's a must-read for horror genre fans. Also, for transparency, I'm not a book reviewer. I'm just an SEO content writer who loves good fiction.

For dark books, you should read "Journey to the End of the Night" by French author Céline. It is my favorite and I have never read another book like it--well, except for the next by Céline. It combines darkness with dark humor. You will be amazed at the things you can laugh at.

[@christinemmac]

I started picking up my mom’s paperbacks when I was maybe 10 years old back in the mid seventies. She was a HUGE SK fan, so I read all his stuff from that era before I started high school and remember thinking Pet Semetary was kinda lame- but hey I was maybe 11😂. Maybe I’ll give it another go.

As someone who used to be an absolutely ravenous Stephen King fan, I will never understand the love for 11/22/63, haha. I knew exactly what book it was as soon as you held up the pages to the camera... my old nemesis! I started my own channel just because I needed a place to vent about it :P I do enjoy the Exorcist though, so that's probably the book I'd pick off your list! Really interesting use of demonic possession as an allegory of trauma/abuse. Out of my own favourite books, I'd recommend you try One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey--based on this list I think it's the one you'd like most off of mine :) Anyway, great video, you have a very conversational presence that I still struggle to get across on camera even 2 years after starting my channel, lol. I'll be sure to watch more!

[@samanthaflynn3652]

I don't understand the 11/22/63 love! Everyone raved about it, so I think it got built up in my head and was a disappointment. My favorite King's are The Shining, Salem's Lot, The Stand and IT.

[@Deep_in_the_Reads]

@@samanthaflynn3652 Yeah, it's a really tacky book for sure! And I can't remember the last time I read a novel that was so bloated. My favourite Stephen King novel is The Shining, hands down.

Hey, I really liked your list. The only Stephen King book I've read is IT but I own copies of Pet Sematary and The Stand so I'll be reading those, soon. Same with Lonesome Dove. Of all the books I've read, the one I'd recommend you the most is Swan Song by Robert McCammon. I think it has the potential to blow you away.

I loved your enthusiasm in describing your choices but sometimes wished you were able to push past the gushing (not get rid of it because that part is so genuine and appealing) to go on and try to articulate specifically more about what aspects of the book make it great!

A few random recommendations - Thomas Perry - Dead Aim, William Goldman- Marathon Man, Ira Levin- Boys From Brazil and Rosemary’s Baby, Ken Follet- Pillars of the Earth, Key to Rebecca, Eye of the Needle, Bill Bryson- A Walk in the Woods, M. Scott Peck- People of the Lie, and The Road Less Travelled. Keep it up!

I read The Exorcist when it came out when I was a young fella. I can still remember reading it and how much it scared the shite out of me. Excellent. I mainly read different stuff than you, but it seems we intersect at points. You might enjoy Dark Matter by Michelle Paver, a really atmospheric novel that I've actually read three times, just when I feel like being frightened. The only Stephen King book that I've ever read is the 11.22.63 book, and, again, I've read it three times. Man, does it have it all! And you are right, the ending is absolutely beautiful. Rock on man, keep reading!

Love Claire Keegan! And The perks of being a wallflower is one of my favorites as well, first read it as a teenager and fell in love and it still holds up now reading it as an adult.

"She is just..." love it when people appreciate Ms. Morrison like I do! Bluest Eye is not my fave of hers, but I liked it. Loved Tar Baby & Paradise!!! I just put the Claire Keegan in my shopping cart after seeing 2 ppl recommend AND seeing the movie trailer - the universe clearly wants me to add it to my TBR :-)

[@martasoltys9091]

I read Beloved and it efed me up. No other book has done it (well, maybe Sophie's Choice). I knew about slavery but I didn't know some of the things she describes. I mean.. it has such an eerie, really dark feeling of serious suffering. I could never reread it. I've been told Blue Eyes is even better but I could never bring myself to read it. My favourite Stephen King is still The Shinning. I just love how famous it got for such an essentially rather simple story: a family on a winter "break". I still have to read The Stand and The Fellowship of the Ring. One day. When you said "the most famous journey type story" I honestly thought you meant The Odyssey.

[@KanwarAnand]

The Stand has nothing on Metamorphosis. Stephen King's best book is Green Mile by many a green mile. Also Misery is his second best. For me, The Stand is one of the most indulgent books ever written. Readers probably like it because of the time invested. He used to be my favourite author but I preferred his works when he was a drunk.

[@PLAYEATTRAVEL]

Lonesome Dove is one of my favorites! So much so, that I tracked down a 1st edition (& I usually don’t care about what edition).

[@BlagomirDao]

I highly recommend "Karamazov Brothers" by Fedor Dostoevsky.

[@satolicious]

i'm currently halfway done with the Stand and I absolutely love it so far. I was intimidated by the length and the font size at first but I almost feel it's actually not going to be long enough because I love it so much.

I loved 11-22-63! Probably my second favorite Stephen King. Needful Things being my favorite! Really enjoy your channel!

[@MrSyntheticSmile]

To me too, his best books are ‘Needful Things’, ‘Rose Madder’, and ‘Misery’. Many of his other books are plodding, verbose.

Claire Keegan is such an amazing writer, Small Things Like These is INCREDIBLE

[@retiredbooknerd]

You and I share several favs!! But, nothing could have made me happier than when you picked up Lonesome Dove!! I recently did a reread of it, and it still leaves me broken. When I finish, I always just want to hear from Gus just one more time! 🥲I had to subscribe! Stephen King is also a favorite author of mine and I have read all the ones you mentioned. Having read a huge number of King books, I'm not sure I could choose a favorite. 😫... Thanks for this video! Happy Reading! 📚📚📚

[@TheGrapeJellyLibrary]

Yes, yes, I did read The Metamorphosis, Small Things Like These, Lonesome Dove. I love that you are a varied reader. My favorite books are East Of Eden, The Honey Bus, West With Giraffes. 😊

[@endohenry]

I just stumbled across your video and your passion for books is infectious. Based on your list, I think you would enjoy Cormac McCarthy. I’d recommend starting with The Road or All The Pretty Horses.

[@sarahogborn8024]

Fellowship of the Ring is so near and dear to me, but Return of the King is probably my favorite 😊 Some of my other top books are Little Women, The Night Circus, The Light Between Oceans, The Book Thief and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society!! Love your picks! I think you would love I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak if you haven’t yet! It seems like your kind of book!

[@ryangriffith7772]

Well....I guess I'm reading IT this year. Loved this video!

[@KatieSanvick]

The exorcist is a comfort movie for me too and i always thought that was so weird 🤣 whenever "why" naturally pops up in daily life, i always find myself muttering "why you do this to me dimi"

[@NathanShines]

"I'll Tell Them I Remember You" by Blatty is really good. Quite the insightful memoir.

[@evapeat5020]

Have you read American psycho, it is supposed to be excellent, I have it waiting to be read as well as the exorcist. Another great video, thankyou

[@rocklord27]

Just got recommended your channel, currently binging your videos- they are awesome! I can't wait to see more stuff from you brother.

[@BarbiBou]

I loved the films LoTR and recently picked up the books! I am loving them all! And I have Lonesome Dove on hold with my library. Can’t wait to get to Lonesome Dove - it may take me a month or two to get through lol

[@therealshakinbacon]

No way!!! 11/22/63 is my favorite book of all time as well. Has everything I want in a book. Never knew anyone who likes it as much as me lol.
