I'm reading WHAT for Christmas!?

[@th3_patch]

The channel growth is much deserved. I found a top-ten video a while back and kept coming back for every upload. I've enjoyed the content and the discussion.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you

[@KitKatMontana]

I only stumbled onto you last month after seeing your review of The Dark Tower ( I read the entire series this year) I am so happy to subscribe to you, keep up being you! You're great!

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you!

[@fergie8287]

Been subscribed since the Dark Tower reviews and your growth and future growth is truly deserved. Congrats!

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you

[@PSNfalcoBrawler]

Can't wait to see what you think of Blade of the Immortal. It's a lot of fun. Historic Japan as a setting quickly became one of my favorites after reading this, Vagabond, and Lone Wolf & Cub.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

I'm looking forward to it.

[@bluetycoon7]

I've enjoyed discovering your channel. Even though I'm an avid reader, sci-fi especially, I don't come to book tube very much. Really enjoying your stuff.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you

[@annirose5835]

Your voice is so soft and warm and your videos are the top 1

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thanks

[@thewayofthegunn]

You'll enjoy Foundation. It has an interesting history.

[@ÂngeloF-tzp]

I have 5 Miéville’s books in my shelf, Perdido Street Station series, Embassytown and The City and the City. Looking forward for your review to see when I’ll start reading them. The Foundation series is great. In my opinion you cannot read just the first book, you have to read the whole original series.

[@coyley72]

The YT algorithm gave me one of your BLAME! review videos. Perhaps it popped because I was reading it. So I watched the first BLAME! video and was hooked on your enthusiasm and how you talked about it. So I subbed. That was about a month or so ago. Congrats on 15K.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@@coyley72 Thanks

[@salomealhusami594]

Yaaaay! You finished Deadhouse Gates!!!! I'm so excited to hear what you thought about it! It's my top favorite in the series! 😍😭

[@rammelbroadcasting]

That will be the next video for sure.

[@salomealhusami594]

@@rammelbroadcasting Amazing! 😊😊😊 Will be waiting on pins and needles!

[@JVF5793]

I read Perdido Street Station this year. Very curious to hear your thoughts on it.

[@Archonsx]

you deserve more subs, your content is pretty honest and detailed, you’re way better than popular book toobers

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you

[@draglogia5244]

Congrats. I’m happy I discover your channel and part of your KZbin history.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you!

[@TertiaryScroat]

After Memories of Ice Erikson will be your favourite author. This book just blew me away and you are just getting over the Chain of Dogs....how heart wrenching and glorious was that, and yeah every 1 of the 10 books is awesome.

[@moonbrooke27]

Congrats on 15K and have a happy Holiday season!

[@jaxpk2669]

cant wait for Deadhouse review man

[@andrewmock7086]

Time out of joint is one of my favorite PKD books. Looking forward to what you think

[@anonymes2884]

Yeah, "The Girl Next Door" is kind of "Torture Porn: The Novel" IMO and that's _really_ not my kind of horror, almost DNFed it. One of those unusual books that's "good" _and_ i'll never, ever read it again, nor do I believe my life would be materially worse if i'd never read it at all :). ('Foundation's a big one to have missed but we all have those weird gaps - I haven't read "Lord of the Rings" for instance but I hear good things :)

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@anonymes2884 I have an entire list of shame (books I haven't read that I probably should have) lol

[@dariotime]

Your channel is now one of my favorites! Two questions: Where do you get your books and how do you budget your time for reading so many books?

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you! I get my books from everywhere. My favorites are hard cover, and I like older books, so I stop by a used book store at least every other week. That's honestly most of them. When I need a specific book Amazon and thrift books are next. And I only read about 4 books a month (which is low by booktube standards lol) but I always download an audio version of the book I'm reading. So I read physically when I'm on my breaks or in the evening on weekends etc. And listen while I'm driving or doing chores. You'd be surprised how quick you get through a book.

[@dariotime]

@@rammelbroadcasting Thank you! I was wondering if you did audiobooks. I listen to audiobooks because it's easier on my eyes. lol

[@BooksOfTheFallen]

Dude its basically a meme on the malazan subreddit to try to find a complete, matching set without selling a kidney on the black market. You're gonna fit right in

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Well, that's good to know lol

[@ChrisJohnson-pr9jq]

Was so happy when I saw the China Mieville poll. I adore Perdido Street Station. Hope you enjoy 🤘

[@whatthedeal869]

Congrats on 15k subscribers! I can't wait to hear what you think of Foundation.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you

[@Alex-jo6rb]

Dude I just started the first Malazan book, I’m only 4 chapters in but am LOVING it. It demands discussion and analysis, I can’t think of anything else

[@stunik156]

Thankyou for your channel. Love all your recommendations …I read ‘Dr Bloodmoney’ this year and loved it . Going to read ‘The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch’ as my next PKD . Great channel.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@stunik156 Thank you. Hope you like it that's a good one.

[@LadyValkyri]

I know captsquashy mentioned this, but I saw 2 movies based on the Sylvia Likens case, both The Girl Next Door and An American Crime and I thought An American Crime was a much better film, with a better quality of actors, but yes, the things Sylvia went through were horrific. Congrats on the 15K! Hugs to you and yours!

[@y.s.mnails7834]

I found a hardcover copy of Gardens of the moon at the thrift store for 50 cents... haven't read it yet

[@bradleycombs2626]

You should do a top 10 best classic books you have read. I just got done reading the Count of Monte Cristo and it took me three full weeks to finish! But obviously there are a ton of famous classics, and I’d be interested to hear what your favorites are.

Hello Mr. Rammel, I subscribed to your channel about a month ago. I just want to say your videos are awesome, especially your Philip K.Dick (Dick stuff haha) and Murakami content. I buy a lot more books than I read (about 4 a month) and your videos help me prioritize my reading list, since we seem to like the same type of books. Keep up the good work!

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Awesome thanks

[@Shasarazad]

Note that The Girl Next Door is based on a real case. I haven't read Ketchums book because I know too much of the horrific events it's based on.

[@captnsquashypant82]

I had memory holed the girl next-door till you mentioned it. Now I feel like I need to scrub my brain

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@@captnsquashypant82 Right!

[@danielroop3178]

Stephenson - I recommend Diamond Age next. I read it and Snow Crash years ago around the same time and enjoyed the similarities/differences.

[@RhinoViper]

I can’t remember if I DNF’d The City & the City or I just started skimming, but yeah, it wasn’t for me and I was pretty excited to finally get to Mieville’s work…I’ll be curious how you like Perdido Street Station.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

I sure hope I like it more than you lol

[@lock67ca]

The scariest thing about The Girl Next Door is that it's based on a real case. If you think the book is extreme and triggering, Google the events it's based on.

[@graymalk1992]

YES! Blade of the Immortal :D Also... you don't need to change anything about the picks, imo. Random is random :)

[@whenindoubt1000]

You haven't read Foundation? Oh boy. May your subs increase.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@@whenindoubt1000 It's on my list of shame lol

[@EricMcLuen]

The Strouds blew up the moon. (Tom Grossi reference). Since you are jumping into MoI right away, seems like you enjoyed Deadhouse Gates. When I got all of the Second Apocalypse, one of them is a different height. Which bothers me more than it should. Finished Wizard by Wolfe and was disappointed. Might read Starshio Troopers next as it is short. But did find Watership Down at Half Price a while ago after reading it in high school - and after I had seen the cartoon. Haven't watched the new one yet. So your shirt might be a sign. How traumatic can a book about bunnies be? Or maybe Anathem since I read Liebowitz last month.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@EricMcLuen I kinda like the look of all messed up books or sizes in a series. But if only one was different, that would be a little irritating

[@OriginFormeLad]

Just curious: have you ever read Jorge Luis Borges? If not, I HIGHLY recommend you to do it. "The Aleph" and "Fictions" are his best books. You usually find them together in a collection called "Labyrinths".

[@rammelbroadcasting]

No I haven't read anything from him

[@anonymes2884]

_Maybe_ my favourite short-story writer, just on bang for buck and hit rate if nothing else - lots of big SF&F/metaphysical ideas deftly dealt with in small packages. (but online at least, people don't seem to care much for short-stories so not surprising JLB doesn't get a lot of play)

[@OriginFormeLad]

@@rammelbroadcasting Please give him a try, I promise you he will blow your mind!

[@curtislindsey1736]

I just finished John Dies at the End. It was a great recommendation! Def not for someone who's easily offended and is a product of the early 2000s. It's kind of like Douglas Adams meets Stephen King.

[@WickedGoodBooks]

DUUUUDE, I randomly picked up Perdido myself to reread it this month!

[@WickedGoodBooks]

MALAZAN!!!!

[@rammelbroadcasting]

The Gardens of the moon video is up if you missed it. Spoiler alert it was great lol

[@WickedGoodBooks]

@@rammelbroadcasting I saw! My wife and I are on Crippled God right now. Started our Malazan journey in 2019 and it's going to be bittersweet once we finish. I've got the floppy paperback collection with the OG Lockwood art and we're waiting for books 1-3 to arrive from Broken Binding soon too!

[@rammelbroadcasting]

@WickedGoodBooks I avoided buying those because I can't bring myself to buy special editions of books I haven't read and don't know if I'll like them enough to justify the cost. I might end up regretting that decision lol

[@WickedGoodBooks]

@@rammelbroadcasting You should finish book 3 and then decided ;-)

[@JennaWeisz]

Congrats to making it to 15k! With your recommendation I checked out Maze of Death by Philip K Dick. It was great!

[@papapudding]

Have you read the Red Rising saga?

[@jayferry7587]

It's kind of funny cuz I'm reading Perdido Street Station right now.

[@FiFiReads_BookBlenderReviews]

Could try G F gonzalaz book or a wrath james white for more extreme horror. I hear mainly positives qith these two authors and survivor by G F Gonzalaz has not long been republished :)

[@moonbrooke27]

Seveneves was great, but feels like 2 books.

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Yeah it kinda did

[@jaya5264]

Please do yourself a favor and read all of the Asimov Foundations books. So so good.

[@moostermcmoosterpants817]

I just found you and I love your vids btw! I finished the girl next door with a week left in October and it made step away from spooky COMPLETELY! Until recently. It is just that messed up… But it is great! I finished in in a day because I just couldn’t stop

[@rammelbroadcasting]

Thank you. Yeah, I think it took me 2 days.
