I'm Scott. I like books. If you like books, and you want to listen to me talk about books just a little too much while taking side trips into different topics and back again, then this is the place for you. I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to book, without any particular love for one genre, but I'm always looking for new things to read.

Ranking Pet Sematary at 50, you suck. I hope your channel dies. You're about as intelligent as Kamala.
It’s hard to find video reviews on the clown hunt. Hope to read it soon.
Hi, Scott. I hope this finds you well.
Love the podcast, the banter between you two and your commitment to the mission! Hope to hear a LOT more from you :)
4:30 preamble
1. Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream 2. The Rattlesnakes 3. The Answer Man 4. Two Talented Bastids 5. The Dreamers
7:11 bruh
I don't understand why everyone hates on Cell. I had such a fun time with that one! I honestly loved it!
Hi, great content, just caught up with list so far over the past couple of days, looking forward to the rest of the list.
I am reading IT right now for the first time! I'm glad there wasn't any spoilers! And happy to know it is your number 1. Thanks for the video!!! Cheers.
31:54 your haunted, bud.
I like your list because it is honest. I think people feel like they have to rank some SK books highly because they are classics. You didn’t have an obvious top 25. I think about Revival more than any other SK book I have read, so I was glad to see that one made your top 10. It is in mine too, but I still have several books to get through.
I find "The Fifth Step" amazing! I didn't see it coming.
Enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the work my man! Love to see how passionate you are about books. Im quite new to reading. Any recommendations?
Thanks, Scott. Danny also my favorite. I use this book to learning English. and The Fifth steps is 😮most surprised me one. Wish You have a nice weekend.
I dunno, as for opening lines… I stopped reading King in 95 at age 16… and some of those lines just randomly stick forever (e.g. injun bring my fish); for me it’s “Jack Torrance thought: “Officious little prick.” 😂
Did you mention Cell?
In the previous video, he did. It's ranked lower than 50th.
Is Revival only the tenth? I'm reading it and i think it great!
I agree with you that the ending of the Tower series was just what was needed. I liked it.
Even though Kings book sometimes hit and misses with me, I still love to see what's next to his publishing. Throughly enjoy his work.
I loved pet seminary. Great atmosphere. Freaky in the woods
I need these faster! Also, was wondering if you could do a top 10 fav. King Characters and a top ten least fav king characters! Or top ten Horror Characters or plainly just more top lists!
Certainly Sir
Strongly agree with you regarding The Breathing Method! Thank you for the video!
'The Cat from Hell' was adapted in _Tales from the Darkside: The Movie,_ which is often half-jokingly called 'the real _Creepshow 3'._
😎📚👍
Hey, love the videos. Also, love your in depth review of the books/ stories. I have subscribed!
'The Code of the Woosters' is in fact the third Jeeves novel, after 'Thank You, Jeeves' and 'Right Ho, Jeeves'.
You're correct. I made a note of correction in my details for this. Brain slippage.
P r o m o S M 😢
PG Wodehouse is one of my favorite authors, especially the Wooster/Jeeves books. One of two authors who make me laugh at the first paragraph.
Love your shirt!
I'm friends with Kayla Faber on Instagram and I can confirm Liv and Raisa are actually inspired by Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed these two books, they're my fave sapphic romances! Especially Pretty Devils! Are you going to R&R the 3rd when it comes out?
Just a little after 31:41, the door opens by itself in a rather creepy fashion Edit: Upon further review, I think I saw a tail!!
I agree. I think we all have a book in our own top 10 list that would surprise everyone. My #2 is Black House. A lot of people don’t like it and I don’t get it. It has some of Kings best characters and such a great villain. King and Straub worked so well together. I put Insomnia in my top 10 as well. Such a great read.
i did not enjoy the writing style at all. and the villain was good, until the final showdown was less than half a page. so anticlimactic.
Hey man! That was a long watch! 😂 And I enjoyed every minute of it. Can’t agree on every book placement, but I have to say it’s a fair and very knowledgeable ranking (I haven’t read them all, and some I never will). I’m appreciate you’re not apologetic on your choices, some of the rankings i’ve seen spend more time back stepping than actually speaking about the books). About the misses: Would you consider a SK book: the comic Omnibus American Vampire? It will probably be on the back end of your list. Your list made me want to reread some of them, and give Revival a chance. Thank you, and i’ll keep watching.
Can’t wait to dive into the Dark Tower series in particular! It and Misery are also two I need to read yesterday
I’ve only read 3 King works so far but own about 30, and it was fascinating to see almost none of those on the bottom half of your countdown! I’ve loved Salem’s Lot and 11/22/63 so far and can’t wait to dive into more!
I discovered your channel thanks to this video in my recommendations. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
My favorite Agatha Christie book is also And The There Where None, I read it when I was 15. I was on a trip to Paris and I was reading the book while walking, I finished it in one day. Since then it's been one of my favorite books ever.
Oh, what’s your cats name by the way!
You’re such a wonderful person and I love you breakdowns! Keep up the good work!
❤️
LOL I got you In the Course of my Walks for Christmas last year. It’s from a used book store in Chesterton :P
I'm old. Fine, I'll remove that one. I try not to get rid of gifts (barring those I have duplicates of).
@@OneEyeOnThePage hahahaha if you read it first, I understand getting rid of it. Like with our wives under the sea, i know you’ve read it, so I’m not salty :P
So glad to find your channel! I'm out of the habit of reading and hope to be inspired to get reading again. Thank you!
This winter in Norway you can’t really get too lazy because you would pretty much drown 😂 But that said I haven’t actually thought about it. I think I get less energy to do other things, but reading is still okay I think.
I’m enjoying your channel very much! My husband and I are huge book readers; so your channel is important!
I enjoy you sharing your reading progress! Nice to watch people on TH-cam being passionate about things they like! Cheers! ❤️
You know I don't really watch TH-cam that much anymore but seeing your videos all ways make me smile To see someone showing what they love is nice to see
I've read 18 King's novels and 2 collections of his short stories. I don't know how to describe myself? Whether I am a complete fan of his novels or not yet. However, of the 18 novels I have read, "The Stand" is the worst on my list. This is not only the worst King's novel I have read so far, but generally one of the worst and most overrated novels I have ever read. I could divide "The Stand" into three parts: - the first really incredibly good 400 pages. People are dying, panic is increasing - it's great. - then 600 pages of multiplying threads, plus a bit of boring subplots - and the ending, which was undoubtedly written quickly just to end it somehow (no matter how) - which, after getting through 1000 pages of this book was a slap in the face for me as a reader. This story makes no sense at all and leads to nowhere. For me, "The Sand" is just a waste of time. However, this does not change the fact that King, next to Dan Simmons or Robert McCammon, is one of my favorite writers. I just don't have any admiration to this one specific novel. Maybe if I hadn't heard so much praise about this novel before I read it and my expectations wouldn't have been so high... Maybe. Edit: My fav King's novels so far are: Misery, Salem's Lot, Pet Semetary, Needful Things, It, Bag of bones... The order doesn't matter. Everything else is quite OK, Tommyknockers - as an ida for the stroy is good, but I had a lot of issues to finish this one. I put it aside and had a hard time coming back to it to finish it. The same as The Stand :)
New to your channel 😊 Loved your Stephen King rankings! I’m starting a readthrough of all of his fiction. At least the easily accessible ones. My favorite now is The Long Walk. I have read maybe 20 I think total, but I’m starting all over from Carrie because I kept just going for the ones I wanted to read the most. We have similar ways of doing things. I have a few I’m reading long term too. A few pages here and there. It adds up! Also good luck on Finnigan’s Wake!
