This might be too personal to put as a youtube comment but your book videos have really helped my life. About a year ago my grandma died and around then I was reading As I Lay Dying but had to drop it because of the circumstance. A year later I returned to the novel and it has really helped me heal from that event and move on with my life, and I would have not been aware of it if not for your videos about Faulkner.

The fact that Blood Meridian is so challenging makes it so rewarding. For example, there are many times I'd come across a complex metaphor or wording of a certain action or scenario and it would take me to unpack the sentence before I really understood what McCarthy was trying to say, and upon that realisation and the unpacking of the text it was the most gratifying literary experience I've had to date.

In no particularly order my top 10 favorite novels: The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett The Mermaid Murders - Josh Lanyon Heated Rivalry - Rachel Reid Howl's Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones Going Postal - Terry Pratchett (that or one of the Watch books, but I wouldn't know which one) The Seer and The Sword - Victoria Hanley Anne of The Island - L. M. Montgomery Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch Lost and Bound - Eliot Grayson Boyfriend Material - Alexis Hall Notes: My favourites are all about emotional comfort: romance, fantasy, children's literature. They are books that have brought me joy and peace at different times in my life. My Mom has made me feel bad about my relationship with reading my whole life, so I feel automatically defensive of my list (should I have put classics in there??? I do love Pride and Prejudice, and Les Miserables and Jane Eyre are definitely better quality than some picks on my list), but in the end I connect with books with my heart. I don't have those "this book will change you" experiences with "serious literature" The list would probably be slightly different even just a week from now. Multiple authors could hold multiple spots on my top 10 list, but I feel obligated to pick just one Pratchett / Lanyon / Montgomery etc. I have beautiful art books etc, some of which might make the list if I made a "10 books in my shelf that I love the most"

(Hillary Mantel) -My Struggle by Knausgaard. The first few are incredible and the last one is not great. As a whole it is brilliant though. -Middlemarch -A Dance to the Music of Time by Anthony Powell (all 12 volumes). (Basically a somewhat fictionalised memoir by a man familiar with British high society. Features some incredible characters, beautfully observed, you get to see their lives develop in surprising ways through the decades, centered around the war). Loads I'm forgetting and loads that I could put in on another day. I mean I don't even have any Dostoevsky or Hardy or Dickens here. If I extended this beyond just novels I would have some DFW and Exhalation by Ted Chiang. Non-fiction would absolutely include The Years of Lyndon Johnson and Svetlana Alexievich.

I read Moby Dick some years ago, off some poor B&N paperback that made the book even more challenging. My late grandmother saw me reading it and gave me her Reader’s Digest illustrated copy, which is a lot nicer than it sounds. After seeing the illustrations done by Joseph Ciardiello, I dropped my edition and quickly ravaged this one. It’s since become one of my most cherished books. I must admit, I didn’t know of Kent’s illustrations until this video, and I don’t think Ciardiello’s quite shape up. Though I distinctly remember the last one in the book, for The Chase, and thinking it would make an excellent album cover. I wanted to mention this in case anyone else wanted another decent (albeit not quite as good) illustrated edition. Excellent video!

Two things 1st: Great video, you do a great job at selling how good the novel you talk about is. 2nd: I love that even though the skits are the stuff with the most views, you still do book videos. It's sad sometimes when a KZbinr has a type of video do way better than what they made before and purely do that, while you manage to put passion into both the book videos and the skits without worry about how well the video may do. Long way of saying this, but love the channel and the authenticity of what you do. Still gutted Beano Annual 1971 wasn't #1, but there can only be 10.
