Dang, Baron! Heck of a list. I’ve only read a couple of books on here, It, The Hobbit, and LOTR. I’ve been so excited to try some Barker, I’ve ignored your praises for him for too long. Great video my man.

I'm probably going to read Lonesome Dove this year and I'm really looking forward to it. Universally loved by all it seems. The Road would probably be in my top 10 as well. Imagica and Blackwater just went on my TBR, and I'm ashamed to say I've haven't read The Giver yet, but hopefully will get to that soon as well, since I'm going through a pretty big dystopian and post-apocalyptic phase.

Great list, dude. Only one book that overlaps with my list, but a lot that would probably be in my top 30ish, so I’m looking forward to reading those that I haven’t tried yet (starting with Lonesome Dove). As a side note: my favourite Steinbeck is Of Mice and Men. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a must (just keep the tissues handy).

I read No Country and Blood Meridian a few weeks ago and honestly neither have come close to The Road for me. Still some of the best books I've read all year though.

What a list! You've got some of my favorites here. I'm a big SF reader so of course high five for Dune (classic) and the whole Remembrance of the Earth's Past trilogy (mind-bending). "IT" is in my King top 3; best character work! Lonesome Dove pulled me from the first 'hot and dusty' page and I could not put it down. Amazing! Having said all that... I've never heard of Imajica! I'm definitely going to consider reading it at some point. Thanks 😃

Great top 10! Wow, The Giver, I taught this book in Junior High School and it has stayed with me. I have heard so many amazing things about Lonesome Dove, added to my tbr. I have read three Michael McDowell novels and would love to get a physical copy of Blackwater. Unfortunately difficult to get hold of in South Africa so I might have to purchase this on my kindle. My wife and I have probably watched Lord of the Rings like 10 times. I absolutely adore Imajica but My choice for Clive Barker would be Weaveworld, perhaps because it is the second Barker book that I read and blew me away. Frikken awesome video and apologies for the essay.

@@YourBrainonBooks That's good news! Besides our mutual love of Imajica, I was impressed with the scope of your list. I always tell people that the best books are those with stories that haunt me long after reading. I've read four from your list (Dune, Death's End, The Hobbit and Imajica), and all four took permanent residence in my mind. I'm drawn to solid recommendations out of my comfort zone. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. If you want some recommendations let me know. Three or four titles spring to mind.
