    My Mother passed away in January 2001 and Louis L'Amour was my Mother's all time favorite author she always had one of his books in her hand. Thank you for taking back to wonderful memories of my mom reading her Louis L'Amour books.

    The Passage is one of my all-time favorite books/series! I truly love the beauty of Cronin’s imagery and the time he takes with plot-building and world-building. If you can make it all the way to the end of book 3…the ending is so satisfying and bittersweet. The audiobook versions are also very well done.

    The Fall is the prequel in the Bound and the Broken. One book is over 500+ pages, one is over 800+ pages and the last one is over 1400+ pages. The are two small novellas also which are as large as the Fall. It is amazing how much action is packed in the 110 pages of the Fall. It is awesome.

    Love love love book shopping videos! I use Amazon wishlist the same way lol, and to see the price difference when at B&N. I love the Barnes you went to, looks so open and love the high ceilings,and that beautiful majestic view when you exit, WOW. My local one feels like a tight maze lol.

  • @TheDragonbornReviewer
    @TheDragonbornReviewer 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Currently reading Empire of Silence (about 25%) and I’m blown away by the sheer skill Ruocchio has as a writer. I can just tell that I’m in for something special. You’ve got to get into this one, man.
    Also, I added Kingfall to the TBR immediately. That looks so dope, so thanks for putting that on my radar.

    @gcpoulides 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun is easily my favorite series I’ve ever read, it’s the book that got me back into reading, Highly Highly Recommended listening to Alzabo Soup Podcast breakdown of the books as you read, I’d wait to until you’re done Shadow before you start as you stay ahead and to avoid mild spoilers (if any) Brilliant book!

  • @tracywilborn
    @tracywilborn 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Two Louis Lamour books you should read are, Haunted Mesa and Last of the Breed. Neither are westerns, but in my opinion two good reads.

  • @wonderingamazon4973
    @wonderingamazon4973 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love Louis L'amours poems, Smoke From This Alter. I also love Flint. That brought back memories of listening to the Treasure Mountain, a Sackett family audiobook on road trips with my family. He's the best author for westerns. You can tell he just loved writing.

    @horonin 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow so much stuff that is on my TBR too! Prince of Nothing is one I will be reading in a couple months. Ryan Cahill is on my TBR for this month (yes all of them lol) along with Sword of Kaigen. Suneater is another that will be in the coming months. I'm looking forward to seeign what you think about Kingfall. I pick up a month of Kindle Unlimited a couple times a year to catch up on a couple LitRPG series I like, and Kingfall is one of the other series on there I was looking at getting into next time around.

  • @amiam8998
    @amiam8998 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I really can't recommend Asimov's Foundation more! I also love Dune, and found the Foundation trilogy truly interesting in a different way. The broad strokes kind of storytelling in Foundation is so good, I read through the whole trilogy in just a few weeks. Dune and Foundation are both sci-fi classics, and I can see why. Just wonderful, delicious world building and storytelling.
    I also have the Gene Wolfe series on my shelf, and it's been waiting for a few years... I tried reading the first book many times, so it can be a difficult read.
    Anyways, I'm a new viewer from Finland, I've really liked your book videos! I've got some new additions to my TBR from you :)

    Because of you and your wife’s channels, I’ve been trying to get back into reading. I’m looking for a book or whole series of books that is like the video game Skyrim. I told this to a friend and he was like “Tolkien lol”.

  • @joehoward3216
    @joehoward3216 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You should read Davis Ashura! I discovered him at my goodwill bookstore with his book A Testament Of Steel. Such an amazing series and such a cool author with a multiple connecting set of series/worlds!

  • @88chuaky
    @88chuaky 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Sword of Kaigen is the best book. You should also try Blood Over Bright Haven by the same author

  • @sophiethomas8777
    @sophiethomas8777 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am super curious to know your thoughts on "Parable of the Sower" after you read it! It is some dark and bleak yet poignant and exploratory worldbuilding in what could become a very real environment. As someone else mentioned, "Kindred" is an amazing book that goes right into the vein of historical fiction + sci-fi so you might really enjoy that as well. Octavia E. Butler is great at making you feel the despair that her characters feel but also reflect and think upon how it shapes itself in reality ~ have fun reading! :)

    If you wanna try James Patterson, he does a lot of client books. I never know his yet, but I don’t get very close to. Read one of his books

  • @Six-Shooter
    @Six-Shooter 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Louis L'amour has some great standalone also. I recently read my new favourite of his this year called The Burning Hills. Very gritty western of a woumded man being Hunted in a valley by a posse of ranch hands. It dethroned my original favourite Radigan which is also a fantastic western by him if you're interested in westerns, Ian, you can check some of my Bookhaul videos for a few recommendations and I'll have rec videos too soon. Always want to get people into the great wild wild west genre

    @UndergroundTaco 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Richard Stark was the motivation/inspiration for The Dark Half by Stephen King. I know you’ve mentioned you’re a fan of his, not sure if you read it or not, really really solid fun story.

  • @AnnaRak423
    @AnnaRak423 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Hunter is so good. It's true to the time in which it was written (1962). I got it for my brother but decided to see what it was about and I couldn't put it down. I think we have up to book 11 at this point (thank you Thriftbooks!). There were a few movie versions made of this book; Point Blank with Lee Marvin, Payback with Mel Gibson and Parker with Jason Statham. Hope you like this series. ☺

  • @estelagreene255

    I finished Empire of Silence last week. It's very rich, like Dune. There is much more universe building for book one, compared to Red Rising.

  • @kingzzz6509
    @kingzzz6509 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Foundation is good, and Shadow of the Torturer is awesome. I'd really like to read Kingfall as well, but I'd like to see someone review it first.

    You should give Silverlock by John Myers Myers. It’s a pretty good fantasy book that was published in the 40’s.

  • @meikusje
    @meikusje 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Parable of the Sower let's goooo! Have you read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, by chance? If not, I'd recommend that one as well. Parable of the Sower and Oryx and Crake are probably my favorite dystopian novels.

  • @Chance.Dillon
    @Chance.Dillon 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Also gene wolfe is awesome. Surprisingly good. I recommend before hitting book 4 of Suneater to finish the book of the new sun

    Awesome video 💯‼️ I really like how you ran towards barnes 😅😊I also want to get into or try The Foundation 😊😅 and the sword of Kaigen 😅😊. No Country for old men is also a film that won an Academy Award . I haven’t seen the film but having you read the book makes want to either watch the film or read the book ? Also you are making me want to try Kingfall so I will wait for your review and opinion on this on 😊😅

  • @joannelucille
    @joannelucille 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you like dystopian that makes a lasting impression, I highly recommend Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis. It's part of a duology, but can also be read on its own.

  • @birdyugioh4657
    @birdyugioh4657 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nice choices! I also saw in that first Barnes and noble video you looked at the fifth heart by Dan Simmons... while I can’t recommend that particular book I can definitely recommend anything else by Dan Simmons especially ‘the terror’ , ‘Ilium’ , and ‘Olympos’

  • @susananderson8995
    @susananderson8995 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I loved the Passage. It’s been a long time since I read it but I recall enjoying this first book the most of the trilogy. I would like to re-read the series to see if that’s still the case. The copy you picked up was printed a while ago. The series aired several years ago and only lasted one season. I think content like the Passage does better on another platform than network TV. Perhaps if HBO did the show it would have been better. I hope you enjoy it although with all the other good reads you picked up. 😊

    Unfortunately, Tommyknockers is the only Stephen King book that I haven't enjoyed. I really forced myself to finish it. 😕 I started reading King in middle school, so I'm looking at going back and reading some of the first ones again (Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, The Shining, IT, etc...) 😊

    I've heard of The Sword of Kaigen and it looks really cool. I'm currently reading Mistborn and I have the Stormlight Archive as well as the Kingkiller Chronicle on my shelf, so I probably won't get it anytime soon. But would anyone recommend it?
