Ive heard about that _Miss MacIntosh ..._ novel: *_YIKES!¡!_* I really like Greg Iles, and have read most of his novels. I might want to revisit him w ya (and you know I love _JR)._ 11:57 Greg "lifts his stack!" Great vid. Hilarious 😂
Lots of interesting big books Greg, that Miss Macintosh book you mentioned with the print size definitely looks like something you'd have to plan beforehand lol
Greg ilies is a phenomenal writer and Natchez Burning is an outstanding read that will hook you on page 1 shadowing a very dark time in our nation's history. The capacity for cruelty in some people never ceases to amaze me.
I have read a few other Iles books including the first Penn Cage and Spandau Phoenix . I have high expectations for Natchez Burning and the rest of the trilogy.
My cats love your Intro. The jumping out of their places and running out of the room and I am listening on a normal volume. So I really have to take care to skip the intro when watching your videos:-)
Greg Book one of Proust is a joy and flies by but there are numerous rabbit holes one can drop into especially as to art history. I expected the same speed in reading volume two but came to a near standstill as it’s a slog . Book one was wonderful I won’t say more about the other volumes other than each one of an overall wonderful series vary greatly in momentum and pacing. Be prepared to adjust your reading pace for the entire work.

I have been wanting to read The Natchez Burning trilogy for ages. I need to hop to it! I may join you for the reading of It. It'll be a re-read for me but it has been decades (yikes) since I picked it up.
Greg, I forgot to ask you.... on your Kindle do you have any difficulties with loading and reading large (Beefy) books? For some reason my Kindle, while by no means full to capacity, has developed an aversion to large books. As an example I acquired Delphi Complete Charles Dickens from Amazon and have found on several occasions it freezes up and I must reboot. Even then it wont show the index for the contents. I have deleated and reinstalled it many times. This also occured with other hefty Beefcakes. Dickens volumes are chunky or beefy coming in at over 3,000 pages. Amazon have offered no solution. Thanks Greg!
I have a few Delphi Kindle editions. Not Dickens. I don’t recall having the Kindle freeze up on those, but it does happen with other books from time to time. I guessing that the complete Dickens is HUGE so maybe that’s the difference.
Those books are puny, child's play compared to H C Earwickers dream its not the size of the boat its the motion of the ocean o my brother a nights sleep made into a novel let me know how that works out for you get a reliable guide not some loser otherwise you'll be entirely lost park your ego and open your mind o my brother any major dude will tell you outside in the blackness at 5:00am this morning shoveling snow nice heavy stuff which blanketed our space last night 6° wind chill loving every micro second so serene quite and still all around all creatures are tucked away only the scrape scrape of my shovel stay Frosty . God gave rock and roll to you o my brother rejoice

Fabulous 😅. I love this tag. Great selection
Amazing job Greg! You’ll be beach ready in 2025 💪.
Very jealous of your picks, superb novels 👏.
Those are some big books! I always struggle to get started on the chunksters. Good luck knocking em all off the tbr!
This is great, Greg! Thank you for tagging me. My list will have some in common with yours. Coming soon… 🏋🏼♂️🏋️♀️🏋️

@@michaelibk418 I’ve never played it for my cats. I wonder what they’d do.
That's a killer bass intro. I've decided to read JR as a New Year gift to myself. It should arrive any day now.
@@Barklord I will have a group read on my Discord starting in September.

@@larrybowe774 My Proust schedule is about 12 pages per day. I have read the first volume before and dipped my toes into volume 2.
I’m about 50 pages into Miss MacIntosh. Someone named Coral Russell has a podcast called To All My Darlings where she reads the whole novel.

@@lesliepowell-mccarty7067 The Natchez Trilogy is huge. Audible had a sale last month . All three audiobooks for $5. It’s a total of 96 hours.
Let me know later on if you want to join the It group.
@@anotherbibliophilereads I own them. 🤗
@ I will be reading Natchez Burning late January or February. The other books at an every other month or so schedule if you want to buddy read.
