So many books, so little time I also prefer to read books slowly, and its a good reminder, especially in the midst a culture so obsessed with "consuming" as much "content" as humanly possible, to take your time with things. It is good to sit with books, and learn their ideas, absorb the themes and setting, and spend time with its characters. That's one reason why I love the Wheel of Time so much, especially in its slower moments. Art shouldn't be a speed run! Love the video and your whole vibe, cheers!

YES! Yes to all of this! Not just booktube culture but society in general fixates on over consumption! Every trend I see on book tube is all about book hauls and read as many books as you can in a year! I embrace the fact that I’m a slower reader. However I’ve gotten a lot faster over the years. But my attitude stays the same. I want to be intentional with my time and with the books I choose to read! That’s what this list is all about. Thank you so much for hanging out! What book are you currently reading?

@@Thomas.R.HowellI am currently making my way through David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest." Its a massive book that touches on many subjects you talk about-consumerism, blind entertainment, and the evils they present. One of the main plot lines is a group of radical political rebels hunting down the "perfect entertainment," which according to the author if such a film exists then it would have unrivaled influence over our culture. DFW was very vocal that art must have a larger purpose than being solely entertainment. As he says, "Fiction's about what it is to be a fucking human being." I think this is beyond true and a wonderful way to view art. The beauty of books and literature as a whole is that this exploration of humanity can manifest in literally an infinite number of ways. George R. R. Martin has said that he writes about the human heart in conflict with itself. Now, I have not read his books yet, but from what I hear they are very grim. And that's okay in and of itself - hell, Stephen King is probably my favorite author next to Tolkien. But good fiction, if we look at it the way DFW and GRRM do, is a way to explore humanity in a thousand different ways, whether that be through fantasy, sci fi, literary fictions, horror, romance, a western, anime, manga, film, TV, or any combinations of these. My point is that books (and stories) can be anything they want to be, they are the fruit of an author's heart, and this very act of creation I believe is one of the holiest things we can do as human beings. Hope you don't mind my ramblings. May I ask, if you were to recommend one book to anybody you passed on the street, what would it be?

Whoa that sounds like an amazing concept! I might have to give that a try. Especially since I’ve been feeling this way the past year or so toward modern society. I’m a filmmaker originally. I make wedding films for a living so seeing this form of creativity and storytelling be crushed by large money hungry studios has dampened my mood toward the craft. That book might have to be added to my list! That is a very tough question! I don’t normally like to recommend Willy nilly just because it can come off annoying. Especially since I get super excited with books. My favorite book is Name of the Wind. But I’d only recommend it if the other person likes slow stories. Where nearly nothing happens. But you feel immense emotion throughout this naturally paced story. So pretty much I have to see what that person likes or doesn’t like. Id pretty much ask questions to see where they are at before I recommend something!

I just want to acquire as much knowledge I can when it comes to achieving my goals, and reading these books drives me to keep working and have faith in myself. When it comes to fiction I’m not sure which books I would gravitate to yet there is just many options out there.

I can give you my experience with Lord of the rings book, It took me more than a year to finish, the main reason was because I have seen too many times the movies, and whole chapters just didn't surprise me, but trust me, it worth the effort of reading it, there are pretty beautiful scenes in the book and also deepens a lot in lore. I didn't finished IT, I just found too boring the streets descriptions of gargantuan proportions. Respect to Dune, when I read it, I had mixed feelings about it, I liked a lot the worldbuilding but I founded too slow paced, but when I watched the movies I felt grateful, because in the movies there are a lot of cryptics things that if you didn't read the book you just don't notice or understand, so it's a must read if you want to watch the movies.

Absolutely awesome list my man. You picked the two King must reads. I love the stand, tough read but after you go through the whole journey you’ll find yourself looking back fondly with good memories even years later. It is definitely my favourite book from King as I love the coming of age stories that just bring you back to a time that was simpler. Jurassic park is terrifying and offers discussion on the ethics on the manipulation of genetics which was quite interesting. Dune is LONG and dry but it’s worth the read the most out of all the books on the list. I’m currently on two towers of lord of the rings, the series is good but requires a slow burn, also don’t ignore the songs they are super important and add so much! The rest of these I haven’t read yet and they’re all on my list too. I hope you enjoy the journeys😁

I can't really think of any other TV show or series where I prefer the screen adaption so much. The books are fine, but if the movies didn't exist I don't think I would have really been that bothered.

The films of LotR are some of the best ever to be made. But I gotta read the books that inspired them. Something I didn’t touch on in the video was how LotR WAS fantasy. it paved the way for what we have now in other fantasy properties. My best friend adores the books.

@@Thomas.R.Howell also, after watching your video, I ended up realising that I have read many of the books you stated, while at the same time still thinking I havent read much lol. Point is, I think we readers will never be satisfied with what we still have left to read haahaaaha

@@gustavolamego9913 haha What are some of your favorite books from the list that you've read? I think what matters most is which books stick with you years later. I'm actually making a video on that lol

@@Thomas.R.Howell stormlight is my favorite series, and I agree that if you didnt enjoy mistborn, you might still enjoy stormlight a lot. There is no feellings of YA here. Also dune is amazing and there is more to learn than what thee movies show (still really amazing tho)

Just recently read Dune, half way through Dune Messiah right now. From what I hear you definitely don't have to complete the whole series, but to get the kind of end of the story of the main character from Dune you'll need to read Messiah as well, thankfully it's significantly shorter. Basically like a lost fourth part of the first books three parts.

That’s good! I’ve felt stuck just reading series so it’s nice to know I only have to read 2 books instead of the entire series!

Uff big disagree on the extended versions argument of the lotr movies. They're badly paced, bloated and clearly the inferior films
