I love how much your reading taste has transformed. I love that you're reaching out. Also, please do another preorder for the 1st spine breaker shirt. 🙏
For the love of all that is holy plz don't retire the spine breaker shirt. It's a great design and I want one so bad. I missed the preorder and I will die a little inside if that was my only crack at it 😂 , can't wait to see the new design. Your killing it sir. 🎉
Hi Nick i just found you and i love everything!!! Your book taste,your bookshelfs and desk area,very inspiring🫖🍵🕯📚and i love your tshirt!!! Warm hugs coming your way from Sweden
As a library worker who must answer to a book preservation staff, I am not allowed to be a spine breaker but I would totally wear that shirt off the clock, I hope to get in on the next run!
Hey Nick - so glad you’re reading! I haven’t yet read The Things They Carried, but I’m pretty sure it’s a collection of fictional short stories that are interconnected and not nonfiction .😊👍
roadhouse: oh we almost started that, but went for the first episode of the 3 body problem on Netflix... it was amazing, and now I need to get thru the book before we continue with it for sure!
Not sure if you’ve been to the area before, but you’ll be within a block of two bookstores (one of them used) during the market on Saturday! Hoping to make it down to get some yarn and see what other cool stuff is there.
Hi Nick, is there any way to still order a spine breaker shirt?! I would love to order one!! I couldn’t find a link in the description and this is the first time I have heard about it. I feel like I’m missing out! I just recently started watching your channel and love the vibes !
Sword of Kaigen was a great read. You'd expect it to be about one thing and then it takes a bit of a turn (at least for me it did) still a wonderful and beautifully written book. I don't have it physically but that cover actually looks amazing, might have to pick it up and reread it!
Hello! Nooo way! You are officially the first person I've found in the same city as me that also does TH-cam! I am a planty channel, but have recently decided to start incorporating bookish content as well! .. Also, I had no idea about Witly.. I was looking at places in Toronto haha
ducks: have u seen the "place duck here" lil target shaped like cup holder thing people attach to the mirrors? theyre cute! we've had a few jeeps, but moved over to the broncos. and now we're on bronco #3 cause we're crazy.
Since you're dipping your toes into non fiction some more, I highly recommend "Night" by Elie Wiesel It's the true account of his experience surviving the Holocaust, and it's super eye opening and well written
I literally just accidentally broke the spine of the mass market paperback I'm reading (The Eyes of The Dragon by Stephen King), and I was SO bummed, as a non spinebreaker, but I must admit, it did make it easier to hold...
Major suggestion: try crime and punishment, I’d say before brothers Karamazov. It’s known as the first psychological thriller, I think it’d be right up your alley. It’s my personal favorite Dostoevsky
photos: yaaaay wedding season! I tried it. I cant handle the stress of crazy guests and people wanting me to change the color of their sisters faces in every photo because she ran out of her foundation and had to get a new one that made her look crazy orange in the pics. um... you want me to edit her face in like 350 photos? no. lol we just got our fuji x100vi in from ADORAMA in nyc,.... aaaaaand.... I dunno. I still love the form factor I remember from my original x100, but I feel like the computer brain is the same slow machine it was 10 years ago or however long ago it was. like.. its SLOW. taking the cap off, and going to take a photo of something you see, and its like a full 3 seconds for the lcd screen to adjust and show you the scene properly exposed. its like... what? this is $1600??? it may be returned to make someone else down the list very happy. lol. we have another on order from them in black but its still backordered. may cancel? shrug.
I'm new to your channel and I am blown away with your growth in just doing this a few months. Love to have you come on my channel some time. You are exceptional at the conversational style of your content. Kudos & Cheers! I've never seen a channel grow that fast (unless I'm looking in the wrong places!)
history: have you watched 'triumphal reads" he's big into history, and also has big arms. lol. maybe its a history guy thing? do you get a free gym membership with every history book purchase..? 🤔
My side quest watching your videos is watching the books and drinks you have at the edge of your desk and wondering if you’ll knock it over

Yo I'm new and totally missed the Spine Breaker release, please do one more run!!!
I agree!!!
I hate I missed both pre-orders 😢 hope you do another one!

I've NEVER heard of that duck on Jeeps thing hahah but I LOVE IT
I used to have a jeep and i would find a duck 2-3 times a week on my jeep lol
@@AmberRupert-g2y LOL what a weird cool thing!

Love your channel so far. Wanted to mention "The Things They Carried" is historical fiction.
Oh my god, I did not realize this! Thank you so much.
I had no idea it was fictional either 😅 we read excerpts of it in high school English and the teacher did not make that clear haha
The things they carried is great!! If you’re looking for a book about the other side of the war definitely check out The Sorrow of War!
2:54 I could never break the spines! Just the thought of it fills me with horror! 😮📖
The Trial's first chapter (specifically the translation you picked up) is my favorite piece of writing. Ever.
roadhouse: oh we almost started that, but went for the first episode of the 3 body problem on Netflix... it was amazing, and now I need to get thru the book before we continue with it for sure!
Devastated that I’m only learning about the spine breaker shirt in this moment.
Caffeinated or hydrated...it doesn't matter. You are just excited to share and I am here for that!
I didn’t even know about the spine breaker shirt, was that patreon only? I feel like I watch all your videos, I’m interested if you do a third run
sword of kaigen, oh I love that edition. I think I like it more than the other one. yes, never heard a bad thing about that book!
Not sure if you’ve been to the area before, but you’ll be within a block of two bookstores (one of them used) during the market on Saturday! Hoping to make it down to get some yarn and see what other cool stuff is there.
I missed both shirt pre orders. Hopefully third times the charm? Lol
Congrats on the shirts selling so well! I'd love to get one but unfortunately shipping to South Africa is brutal🙈
i love this weekly series and can't wait for the next week's video

Oh man please do another run of the spine breaker shirt. I need 1.
I just found your channel and would have loved a shirt!
bookclub picks: ooooOOOOoooh all the choices are great!
Agrippina sounds really good! It’ll go on my TBR too.
The Trial actually gets fragmentary in the end, so I doubt it’s his most completed book. But it’s still really good!
Love The Things They Carried!
I LOVE MY SHIRT!!! ❤
Bro had the shortest library arc of all time 😂
The Things they Carried is a great book!
How can we pre order?
Hey it's me! I cannot wait for my spine breaker shirt
I've almost finished kaigen. Man what a story it is. Starts a lil slow but man it picks up.
The way you talk about bear town reminds me of Friday night lights (tv series) I think you’d love it if you haven’t seen it
ducks: have u seen the "place duck here" lil target shaped like cup holder thing people attach to the mirrors? theyre cute! we've had a few jeeps, but moved over to the broncos. and now we're on bronco #3 cause we're crazy.
Since you're dipping your toes into non fiction some more, I highly recommend "Night" by Elie Wiesel
It's the true account of his experience surviving the Holocaust, and it's super eye opening and well written
I read night a number of years ago and it really was incredible. Great recommendation.
@@booksaresick stoked to know you've read it!
I literally just accidentally broke the spine of the mass market paperback I'm reading (The Eyes of The Dragon by Stephen King), and I was SO bummed, as a non spinebreaker, but I must admit, it did make it easier to hold...
Tim O'Brien's Things They Carried is a great read
Did you say your wife is selling her YARN? Does she do online sales? Also, looking forward to the new shirt design!
I want merch! When will this open again? :)
Major suggestion: try crime and punishment, I’d say before brothers Karamazov. It’s known as the first psychological thriller, I think it’d be right up your alley. It’s my personal favorite Dostoevsky
Where can I get that copy of sword of kaigen
2:56 “No I don’t even do this I just like it.”
I don’t break spines, but appreciate those who do.
Have you ever read any Ken Follett?
Hi! What is the name of the History channel? Thanks!!
Yay BadTimes ltd *waves* I should change that name :) loving your content bro

Did you do the art for the spine breaker shirts? (I’m commenting before I finished watching this lol.)
Edit: it sounds like you did??
That's the new Chapters-exclusive cover of The Sword of Kaigen. Not a huge fan of Chapters (especially recently), but that's a really nice cover.
Where would I get that edition of sword of kaigen?
Can you make a video about how to get out of a reading slump 😩

Books are sick

I swear you look like Zach Galifinakis
