I Read 200 Pages A Day for One Week | Reading Vlog

Welcome, I'm Ian! Here on this channel we read books; we talk about books; we shop for books; we obsess over books! Whatever book-relayed itch you have, we have it here! In this video I attempt to read 200 pages a day for one week. I tackle on of my most anticipated reads of the summer. Stick around to see if I make it! Thank you for stopping by!

I often give myself a time goal instead of a page goal, might help you

@@sascha7476 I appreciate that, thank you! I've diverged my focus from fictitious reading to non fiction and that changed my habits tenfold. Next time I start reading fiction I'll try that!

[@sascha7476]

@@straya520 oh it can be decieving if you switch from fiction to non-fiction! Fiction generally reads a lot faster and its easier to just skip a few sentences in the mids of boring bits 😅. With non-fiction its better to take your time and read everything carefully. I prefer to read 3 books at the same time. A slow classic/non fiction, a fast and fun book and my book club book. That works for me. I think its very courageous of you to make that switch and every page you read will be worth it!

What, 40k🙈🙈 that would be unreal! Thank you for all your love and support! It truly means the world!!

[@frostyantiromantic7910]

When I got to THAT part, I felt like it was necessary at that moment to save themselves, because I’m pretty sure there was a passage there that said that people refer to having sex as ‘it’ and even then it has power and people fear to tell the word. So by doing ‘it’, not only are they telling f*** you to IT, but they are also passing the threshold from kids to adults, so IT won’t have a hold on them because they are not kids anymore, they are tainted by what makes adults adults, and as much as it’s unhinged, it’s brilliant.

[@mlyon1476]

I'm not saying it isn't gross. But it's fiction and symbolism is powerful in this particular tale. These are fictional characters who made a choice as a way to lose that last bit of innocence and after all of the other horrible things they had been through, this mutual decision was the least of the offenses, really, especially for Bev even before It came along. She made the choice this time, taking back her power from more than just It.

[@valerieramirez6446]

Yes , totally agree about those parts, but the rest of the story is awesome.

[@ilikecomicstoareallyproble8617]

I feel like if you liked the horror in this book, then you'd really like 'Salem's Lot. It'd explain a lot of what Father Callahan was doing before he appeared in Dark Tower. It's my personal favorite of King's work and it's just a thrill ride the whole way through. Also, it doesn't have any of the weird stuff in the sewers!

[@iangubeli]

Ever since finding out about where Father Callahan comes from, I have wanted I get my hands on “Salem’s Lot.” I just love the way King writes, man!

[@ILoveJahangeer]

I love the whole ‘Multiverse’ thing that Stephen King created. When I was reading ‘Pet Sematary,’ a couple years ago, it had a reference to ‘The Shining’ and to ‘’Salem’s Lot’ too. It took me by surprise, but I really thought it was cool.

[@iangubeli]

Yeah I avoid Stephen King period because he tends to put "that" kind of stuff in a lot of his books. I always look up content warnings for any book I'm thinking of reading and anything with my triggers is an automatic "will not read."

Recamend mr mercedes and end off watch by Stephen king

[@dpier6]

I’ve thought about reading this a time or two, but I am really put off by “those” scenes that you and others have talked about. Think I’ll probably sit that one out. I haven’t read much King, but enjoyed Pet Semetary and 11/22/63. I tried Gunslinger, but couldn’t get into it. Not sure if King is for me on the whole, but there are aspects of his writing that are just amazing.

[@iangubeli]

Totally get that! Some girls he hopes on tangents that are long-winded and dry; other times he writes the most inappropriate scenes that boarder on criminal. All around, he is a very good writer! The Gunslinger is a bit spacey. Of the Dark Tower series, it really is the weakest one. The rest of that series is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@wovengray]

IT is my favorite book of all time and I actually started reading a month or so ago. Took me a month - it genuinely felt like I was apart of the world and living in Derry. (And yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the two scenes and the slurs used either 🤢.)

[@jimronnysrlie8601]

You totally should read The stand, Carrie and Pet Cemetary aswell. They are all really good in my opinion. And If you like Stephen King you most certaintly would love Robert McCammon. Boy's life by McCammon is similar to IT, but without those scenes you hated :P McCammon is just as good as King with his character works, and at writing children!! Swan song by McCammon is similar to The stand. The post apocalypic aspect atleast. Plus McCammon is very good at his endings! Btw. I've noticed that you've finished reading ACOTAR. You should def continue with The crescent city. There's a few surprices left in there for you :)

[@iangubeli]

McCammon has been on the radar for sometime! I didn’t know “Boy’s Life” ran in the same vein as “IT.” That’s exciting. I am wanting to get into King’s other classics like the ones you mentioned. Hopefully later in the year! And I will definitely be reading “Crescent City!” I like I might dive in her “Throne of Glass” series first.

[@melissamartin9132]

Love this book!! I'm still at a 5 star I think. It's been a long time. I have been taking stars off for animal killings and other things that trigger me so I probably would in this one in a reread. There's no point in a lot of things in books. I do love King's older books but not as many of his newer books. I also love horrror books and read a good bit. I read all the books!! I do skip a lot of things in books, I just can't. I don't do rape scenes etc. I don't love grimdark so as much depending as well. I don't like animal torture, graphic women rapes or anything. It's pointless. A lot of my grimdark I've gotten rid of because of this, even books where I love the characters, I just can't. I've traded in all of my Game of Thrones and many more. I don't need really graphic horrible stuff anymore in life. It's too triggering. Gah, there's so much I could say but I'd write my own book on your page. Lol. I have kep my 3 Game of Thrones illustrated books for joe. I'm thinking about what to do. Thanks for the video 😊

[@iangubeli]

Thank you!! Yes, I agree. Some authors like to write about graphic things that don’t need to be a thing. I skipped the animal torture/sexual content in this book. It was too much. I find myself also skipping these things in other books, too. Grimdark really does live up to the name😂

[@jvickery9623]

Have you seen the movie? I would really be interested in comparisons from the book to the movie. I have seen the IT movie but never read the book. Would like too but it does scare me with the thickness of the book 📖

[@iangubeli]

It is a very thick book, not gonna lie😂 really freaking big! In comparison to the movie, they have maybe 55-65% in common. There are some liberties taken in the movie that take away from what the book was trying to do. The book is 1,000% better than any adaptation ever done for it! There is so much that isn’t touched on in the movies, and probably couldn’t be touched on, because of how hard it would be to capture it properly. The book is SO good!!!!

I'm not gonna lie, I thought "those" parts would put you off the book for the most part. Even the most diehard King fans I watch on booktube even disown those parts (Mr. Mike, looking at you.), but the story is so strong, the characters so well written it couldn't ruin it. That's power, that's a timeless story that will stay with you forever. Welcome to an exclusive club, Mr. Ian. Today 'IT', tomorrow 'The Stand'. :D

Haha "Honking" like a clown, but for real that book is super intimidating because of its size so this was such a smart challenge to break it up! I'll have to attempt this for some of my more intimidating larger books (looking at you Priory of the Orange Tree)

[@iangubeli]

Thank you!! Yeeeaaahhh, Priori of the Orange Tree..that book looks like a beast. You’ve got this!! Excited to see the video😉

[@ryanthompson451]

Such a fan already! Such a therapeutic channel for me. Was wondering what speed you listen to the audiobook while you read?

[@iangubeli]

Thank you!!! I listen (on average) at 1.5-1.65x

[@marisapereyra5436]

The night will find us by Matthew Lyons was a horror I really enjoyed and I think you might too! 🖤

[@iangubeli]

Thank you for the rec!!

[@elisabethprice4697]

this was so much fun! I want to do something similar with a Sanderson book. Oathbringer book three in the Stormlight Archive(also you need to read it)!

[@iangubeli]

Oh yeah, I forgo it the Stormlight books are all bigger than IT!! GEEEZZ😬 you’ve got this!!

[@horrorheadheather9287]

I have tried to read this book twice before and the furthest I have gotten was around the 600 page mark. I think I will put this on my January 2024 TBR for the month. Think I will do it like you did and read 100 to 200 pages a day to finally read this beast of a book.

[@iangubeli]

I love that idea! It was honestly a worth whole experience reading that many pages a day!! You’ve got this!!

[@MoonLightAmethyst_]

19:36 Yep there it is. It’s a bonding thing to defeat IT. I know weird

[@iangubeli]

They couldn’t have done it any other way?? Like being friends, and banding together wasn’t enough!?!?

[@ybell10]

holy crap that’s a huge ass book! crap now i wanna read it! hahhaah

[@iangubeli]

It was intimidating, but once I picked it up, I really couldn’t put it down!! Definitely worth the read!!

[@MoonLightAmethyst_]

13:53 What till you read The Shining🤭

[@iangubeli]

I can’t wait to read “The Shining.”

[@megg904]

🎉😂congrats that is so awesome and def had to be daunting! IT def isn’t my cup of tea ( don’t do the whole clown thing ever 😅) but enjoyed your vid and had to feel awesome to finish that beast of a book in a week! Great challenge!

[@iangubeli]

Thank you so much!! The book was the biggest thing I have ever held😂😂 so glad you enjoyed it!!
