“I’m gonna throw into poop” after every good book is so funny and not something I ever imagined being said

[@milaces1323]

There's nothing better than Shawn humbling stuff: books, people's shelves, himself...? Whatever it is, i'm here for it 😂

[@natasha-lyonne-enthusiast8098]

As a humbled Welsh boy, I am blacklisting Shawn from entering the entire country…

you’re missing out because I was planning on coming this year and broadcasting the boom boom boom boom and making them all dance to it…

I, as a Brazilian, gladly stand to announce that Senhor Shawn McComb is now an honorary citizen of the Republic of Brazil by his use of cocô in his KZbin video, and has therefore reached the necessary status to be asked “Shawn please come to Brazil”

truly no one can make me want to pick up memoirs like Shawn can

[@alana.h.s]

I'm Brazilian and i love how we have the same word for two extreme different meanings: 1° coco: conconut 🥥 2° cocô: poop 💩 like, the only difference is the circumflex accent

LOLOLOL

[@erinhunt8826]

"I read 50 books this year, and I didn't like any of them." I'm feeling attacked right now. 😂 But you're right about it being a me problem. I tried to expand my repertoire and get into new genres this year, and... it was a bust. Guess it's nothin' but sci-fi, thrillers, and depressing non-fiction/memoirs for me! Hope your holidays have been enjoyable, Shawn. Congrats on 66 books read this year! 🎉

[@shawnmccomb]

the real question is why you would ever want to stray away from sci-fi, thrillers, and depressing non-fiction/memoirs tho...😆

found ur channel in the beginning of the year, don’t even read really but love your comedy and reviews , you’re so entertaining

[@rosti7698]

I've read 10 books this year and I kinda beat myself up for that, but then I think of 50 percent of the general public and how they probably haven't read a single sentence and my demeanor suddenly shifts, especially when 7 out of those ten books have literally become my favourite books!

[@heatherbocks]

I’m at 68 books for the year. I’m not a goal person, but I feel like I need to get one more cause 69. I’m 31 years old and very mature, clearly

happy new year shawn!! here’s to whatever year it is 🤩

Shawn I just need to say the best books I read this year was from your influence. Say anything, empire of pain, and three body problem series omg. The best

[@krux3759]

Did I just type say anything instead of say nothing omg

[@shawnmccomb]

yay!! also I totally read say anything, knew what you meant, and thought nothing of it

[@coconutinthebathtub]

cant sleep rn and glad u uploaded a new vid 🙏

[@francisneoralisamedrano1336]

The thing about reading 50 books and not liking any of them resonated so much with me because it's so true. Like, why the fuck i'm struggling reading books I know I'm not going to like just for the sake of reading, knowing exactly what type of book I deeply enjoy. Your channel truly feels like those mean teachers that are actually really kind but just speak facts to your face to make you a better person, in thus case reader.

[@mitalishinde6890]

putting one of the greatest books in the entire russian lit canon in a tier named after the french word for poop is truly a perfect example of the duality of man.

I looooooved empire of pain which I think I picked up only after you mentioned it!! I really can’t read long nonfiction but that book was seriously attached to my hands with magnets….SO interesting and told so well

[@shawnmccomb]

finished it last night... UNBELIEVABLE!!!

caca is also the german word for poop, just spelled slightly differently: kaka

Omg! I have just ordered Empire of Pain two days ago so I'm glad about that.. Hoping by the time I've read it, your review of it is up! lol I'm currently reading GHOSTS by Edith Wharton. I have only read the first story and I'm so spooked. And not in a tacky way, or gimmicky.... Beautifully written! The way she described the terror in silence and solitude is so visceral I could feel it in my chest. Shawn!!!! You gotta read it!

iron deficiency be damned my boy can rank them books! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[@brokendoorknob3448]

Re: The Road. I definitely understand feeling super depressed after reading it. I was definitely sobbing at the end. But I actually see the book as an extremely hopeful and beautiful piece of work-- about the human desire and need for peace and family, of closeness and vitality, and about our fleeting attachment to the natural world around us. If we are talking about the intentions of the author, I think this is quite clear in that he never explores what really happened to the world or why, or what exactly the social order of this new society is. It's just a boy and his father trying to survive and love each other. This is the dad's soul purpose: to keep the humanity alive in his son. I find it moving and affecting. The last paragraph of the novel is one of the best things, even standing on its own, I have ever read. "In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

As a Vietnamese, google translate did not do us justice 😭😭 I swear I barely hear anyone say “phân” because in my hometown, people say “cứt” and it’s such a fun word to say. For example, if you say “it taste like sh*t” you would say “nó dở như cứt” lol
