My Top 20 Favorite Books: Part 2!

[@sloanchessman5783]

E, for me personally, I love the fact that you’ve been posting everyday…I wake up, get my cup of tea, sit down at my dining room table, grab my phone and see what E’s got on the burner….so I vote not to change a thing! ALL HAIL THE CHAIR!😁

[@JakeBrannan5499]

I'm personally loving the daily videos. maybe with the King stuff you can do every other day? I also really like the discussion videos. You're doing great, E., the beavers are proud of ya.

[@bryanc7080]

Night Film was really good. That bridge scene was creepy for sure! Plan to finish It someday and I'm interested in Geek Love. Keep it going with the daily videos!

[@dieborn13]

i'm sometimes too busy to watch the videos on the daily but then i just have this nice little backlog to binge when i get a minute. :) honestly, whatever works for you works for me.

[@craigpartain]

I have Betty, Night Film, and The Goldfinch currently sitting unread on my TBR. Guess I need to make time for them. As for my personal favorite book, I used to tell people that I didn't have one, that my favorites shift with the seasons -- and then I read Lonesome Dove.

[@theneonviking641]

Well, shoot! My powers of precognition were foiled again. Lol I’ll have to go and really think about what my favorites have been. Much easier to list my favorites films over books, but I’ll give it a shot.

[@EdwardLorn]

Shit, give me your favorite movies, I'd love to read that list!

[@josea.fernandez9112]

Continué, no abandone. Disfruto muchos los videos y las reseñas. keep going, don't give up. I really enjoy your videos and reviews

[@jimmybrown8889]

Added a few of these to my tbr list, loved the You series, not started the last one though yet. I haven't been watching to many of the latest videos to try not to spoil the dark tower, only on book 2 so far😂

[@FringeWeekly]

It is odd what affects you sometimes. Like little things that stick out in a book, they resonate in a way you wouldn't expect. One that really did that for me was "Black House" by Straub and King. The flashback scene one of the bikers had, the one with the motel, it haunts me almost every day.

[@douglasbassemier1985]

Love watching you Every time i fall out of reading I listen to you chat and im back reading again Thanks E

[@EdwardLorn]

Wow, thank YOU!

[@patcoston]

This scene from IT is a repeat from The Long Walk. IT: He stood looking up, raised his glove in an almost aimless punching gesture, and instead of settling into his glove, the ball had struck him squarely on top of the head, producing a hollow bonk! THE LONG WALK: Once he got under one and jabbed his glove at a hunk of thin air while the ball landed on his forehead with an audible bonk!

[@bradperkins4669]

I'm loving the daily videos

[@blugilliand7561]

Love listening to you talk about books, man. I'm finishing up Lonesome Dove and have been buying James Lee Burke's books left and right.

[@EdwardLorn]

Check out the Prattville library or the thrift store Hope in Action. They always have Burke and they're usually in great condition. Also, I miss seeing you around. Thanks for commenting because I love hearing from you.

[@CliffsDarkGems]

Awesome top 5! Besides It, which is a magnificent novel, I have not read any of the other titles. Thank you for the reading recommendations, they will be added to my ever-growing tbr!

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

I LOVED Night Film, it’s stuck with me, the last 200 pages or so are amazing, but I enjoyed the whole book. The visuals for sure make it great.

[@EdwardLorn]

I totally agree!

[@juliewashington2253]

Keep going E love to watch your videos 😍

[@AshtheViking]

I was not prepared for how hard Betty hit me. I think so many authors have wallowed in the misery porn after the success of A Little Life that they forget to work in the magic. Books that can make me laugh on one page and feel like I'm about to have a heart attack on the next are very rare gems. It also made me realize how rare it is to have positive portrayals of fatherhood in books. It would definitely be somewhere in my top 10.

[@EdwardLorn]

Yes, that's many of the reasons it's important to me, too

[@katday6436]

Have you read Under the skin by Michel Faber? It stayed with me a long time.

[@EdwardLorn]

I watched the movie and have the book, but haven't read it yet. Is it a lot different from the film, do you know?

[@katday6436]

@@EdwardLorn yes, it is very different from the film. I hope you get a chance to read it.

[@sotref5009]

Last year I read "It" in Russian. This year I'm going to read "It" in English. Such a great book!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Please let us know which you prefer! A Russian slanted It sounds great

[@yelisieimurai]

I am new for the channel , you got new subscriber(from Ukraine)! Thanks for the content, very well done.

Welcome aboard!

I'm on my second listen of IT and loving it. I have never read IT. Only listened to IT. I love the narration of Steven Weber. On the first listen, I kept getting triggered anytime someone was abused, so that made it hard, but this second time, I'm only getting a little triggered. I'm at the point where the adults finished the reunion and each one is out and about. Ben sees Pennywise in the library. I'm at the point where Richie is remembering kids playing baseball.

[@darekjones2912]

Top 5. From a Buick 8 - Stephen King Ready Player One - Ernest Cline The Watchers - Dean Koontz The Fireman - Joe Hill Clown in A Cornfield 2 - Adam Cesare😂😂😂😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉

[@EdwardLorn]

We gonna fight, Darek 🤬🤣🤣🤣

[@darekjones2912]

@@EdwardLorn IJS Frendo is a much more interesting and horrifying clown than Pennywise

[@patcoston]

What did you think of the movie The Goldfinch. I have seen or read it but I'm planning on it, maybe after I finish listen 2 of IT.

[@EdwardLorn]

Couldn't even finish it. For me, it doesn't exist lol

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

Great books in there Trash, IT is my No.1 also👍🏻👍🏻 The Fog by James Herbert also in my Top 5 which includes the most disturbing scene I’ve ever read! I’ve started Night Film (on one of your previous recommendations) but it’s packed somewhere after our recent move since not far into it yet. Failure is fine, Failure is Good, nobody learns more from anything else and those who “never fail” never do Fcuk all!🙃

[@ALatteThoughts]

18 times? That's awesome. I hate it when I'm told but you already know the story. It's like yeah and I loved it that's why I'm reading it again. I love videos like these. We need more of them. I love tag videos and such but we rarely get actual book discussions anymore

[@EdwardLorn]

Appreciate it. That's what I'm trying to bring back. Book talks. Dig it.

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

IT is and always will be my favourite book of all time and I say to people who read, people who haven’t read Stephen King or people that don’t even read, IF you are only ever gonna read one book, make sure… IT’s IT!😎👍🏻

[@2020Stryker]

This might sound like sucking up, but it's not. One of my all time favorites is Dastardly Bastard. While I did enjoy the book, its value to me comes from being the vehicle that brought E into my life. The man is a great friend and he gifted me with his believing that I could write if I put my mind to it. 7 books on the Zon bear my name and there are many more to come. Would I have achieved this on my own? Who knows. I know for sure that my friend helped me get here and I owe it all to a racist little person lol. Thanks E. Love you like a brother.

[@EdwardLorn]

Love you too, man. G I'm glad I could help. 👊❤️

[@mudgetheexpendable]

GEEK LOVE 4eva!

[@patcoston]

IT word count is 441,156 so 18 times is 7,940,808 words! I've read/listened to The Long Walk 26 times. It has a word count of 83,736 so that's 2,177,136 words. When comparing those two books, I've read 27% the number of words! I'd have to read The Long Walk 95 times to match your IT word count!

[@EdwardLorn]

Better get to rereading! 🤣

[@lukesexton8194]

KZbin is a better place with your content on it mate. Personally, I’ve loved the daily videos and it just wasn’t that same without your views and personality!

[@EdwardLorn]

I appreciate that❤️

[@planetofether5462]

I was loving Night Film, and the ending ruined it for me.

[@EdwardLorn]

Fair enough. I loved the ending. Was totally on theme with the tone and theme of the piece.

[@patcoston]

I don't want you to force yourself to try to make a video everyday. That's how you burn out. Make a video whenever you feel inspired to do so.

[@EdwardLorn]

I'm having fun so far, so I'll keep on for a bit. Plus I have a months worth of videos uploaded and scheduled so I could take a week off if I needed to 😁

[@lazyhomebody1356]

If John Updike and John Irving collaborated on a book? Wait-- they're not the same person?
