Really useful bro thanks

If you love Antarctica books, try reading some of Jack London’s Yukon adventures

Having "The Way of Kings" on my shelf for the longest time until I tackled it head on this year--yeah, I know that feeling!

Gonna need those Antarctica recommendations asap

great video

There is nothing better than finding a good book to read! ❤I‘m writing my own novel . Posting on my channel. I think it‘s really good.

wrt reading multiple books at once, I think another element that gets skipped over is that the # of books-at-once a person can handle really varies, and that's without getting into the genre of said books. For me, my absolute maximum is 1-3 "main" books that I try to read a little bit every day from at least one, and then 4-5 books on my periphary that are either denser, longer, or deal with material that I know I'll need to take my time reading - as an example, I started reading *Tender is the Flesh* back in June, and I'm still only about a third of the way through it. It's not a long book, but the contents therein are about at the limit for what I am comfortable reading.

Love this

I have driving lesson tests (if that's how it's called? english isn't my native language) and I have had trouble reading, but no trouble playing games. Playing games felt like working rather than relaxing. I'm a bit lost - no clue what I meant to say by this. I can read right now - no problem! Your videos are awesome, love from Czechia.

You’ve cured my tbr shelf guilt with the pantry analogy, thanks!

Thanks Man. I haven't been able to pick up a book for 4 months now which is a long time for me. This is just what I needed❤ Also, what a cute thumbnail!

My problem as a reader is that I read one great book, and it's over for the ones I pick up next. I always find it difficult to enjoy a new one after experiencing a 5-star read, which often results in me DNF-ing books.

Some things I've read since the start of this school year, in no particular order (probably also not an exhaustive list): - The Rituals of Dinner, Margaret Visser, non-fiction. Technically started this one during summer break, but it's such a big chunker of a book I took almost two months to read it fully. Vissers style is so engaging, and even though it's really a dense book full of information she really makes it feel like you're going on a journey to the ends of the world together with her. Highly recommend! (I've also started reading her "Geometry of Love" recently, and it's just as good, and just as chunky) - Animal Farm, George Orwell, dystopia. Think I finished this one in one afternoon, I just couldn't put it down! In general, I'm a pretty big fan of dystopias, I always find that despite their "bad endings" they really tickle my brain in a good way. I also love how each of them has something to *say*, a warning to convey. - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley, dystopia. Again, finished it very quickly, for the same reasons as Animal Farm. - Persuasion, Jane Austen, romance. Despite my love for dystopias, I also really love me a cozy book that reminds me that humanity isn't *all* bad, you know? I really empathized with the main character, too, and watching her develop and grow was so much fun. I'm also planning to read more of Austen's books this next year, as well as keeping track of what I'm reading a bit more. I've got a long wishlist, but since I'm in uni I don't have too much time or money to spend on books haha. (Edit: You're to blame for the long wishlist, by the way! I've been loving your recommendations - I think more than half of the list is stuff you told me about. It's definitely been a good thing though, lol, your channel has reawakened the reader in me!)

that thumbnail pic was a different thing, cool.

I'm so glad the algorithm recommended this. Thank you Tim, exactly what I needed

"Funky Classic Book” sounds like my cup of tea.

What is that instrument called? Is it some kind of violin or strings plug-in? I dig it. You used in in Avocado Town too I think

Thanks Tim! A real good video once again!! Happy new year to you buddy, God bless!!

How do people feel about reading multiple books at once? I’ve tried it, and sometimes it’s great. But then a stack grows by my beside and I feel claustrophobic haha. I’m considering reading just 1 at a time until I complete the book. But maybe it’s an idyllic lie that I will always be content to read that one book. Anyway. What do you think, fellow strangers?

I laughed hard at the beginning because thats exactly what I did this year 😂

"Read what you love until you love to read" - Naval Ravikant

Kinda unrelated but curious to hear your thoughts on paper vs digital (kindle)! I have a phone-sized e-ink device that I bring everywhere and it's super easy to pull out & read instead of scrolling on my phone, it definitely increased the amount of books I read this year.

I’ve never heard of books compared to non-perishable food you might keep in your pantry, but that’s a perfect analogy for books you buy but might not read right away. Also, thinking of books as food (for your brain) is good for books you don’t finish. Just like you wouldn’t force yourself to finish a plate of food that was spoiled or simply not to your taste, you shouldn’t feel guilty about not finishing a book you don’t like.

what's a book you're FINALLY going to read in 2025?
