Fabian Semb I really recommend Ray Bradbury. His works are phenomenal, and I also recommend that you start with either Fahrenheit 451 or The illustrated Man. Both great pieces that you can get sucked into

Wow, I actually really liked this. I always like your regular memetastic content, it puts a smile on my face but this kind of video actually coming from you, is very interesting.
I know PewDiePie that your fanbase can sometimes seem immature and stupid but it's honestly great to see you enjoying yourself. Reading and going into your hobbies which make you happy. I have been here since 2012, and I never thought you'd be my favorite TH-camr. You're an inspiration to smaller streamers and youtubers like me. Keep being you pewds, stay awesome. Brofist
Honestly I feel that his fanbase isn't actually that immature, it acts that way whenever he uploads his normal sarcastic videos, I think that whenever he uploads serious videos we can surprisingly act with more maturity than usual.
I've said it before, but i'll say it again: Thank you for this, Felix! I love this series!! As someone who reads lots of books, and who's a huge fan of yours, this is the most perfect thing to watch! :D
I'm totally on board with these videos! I love reading and listening to different opinions afterwards. It would be interesting if you could post different polls during the month in between those videos. Those polls could be about the books you're reading and could integrate the bros and sisters much better. Brofist
Ștefan Manole GUYS I DON’T CARE WHAT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT IT IS THE TOP COMMENT AND I NEED TO SAY THAT JOHNNY DEE HAS PNEUMONIA!! we have to support him
As a content creator who delves deep into an array of topics, seeing Felix promote learning and reading truly solidifies my belief in him as an upstanding person, irrespective of any past controversies surrounding his name.
I love this series A LOT, and I really appreciate you for doing it. You're obviously stereotypically a comedy youtuber but picking up something serious once in a while is a very nice effort and please do continue with this
NEXT BOOKS: ✿ Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky ✿ Stoner by John Edward Williams ✿ No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai (translated from Japanese by Donald Keene) Alright! This will be fun. And I love these genuine Felix reviews. And I recommend: * The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas * The Book Thief by Markus Zusak * Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand And just for kicks, *The Detective Games by Zechariah Barrett (that’s me)
Yeah, I wasn't as impressed with it as a lot of people were. But I think it's worth a read. Especially with Felix having read through Moby Dick. He may find it interesting as well.
The Game Detective Mann I just finished no longer human , it's a highly recommend book , do you know any other books that got the same theme like being a semi autobiography of the actual author ?
I'm happy that these videos are always long because it really gives you enough time to analyze each book and it's just so insightful. I was in a huge slump as a reader and that really changed thanks to you recommending The Picture of Dorian Gray. i really appreciate you trying to turn your fans into true woke intellectuals. it's working.
I genuinely love when you just talk about things you are interested in. You are an absolutely amazing person that loves sharing his hobbies and interests with his fans. I love reading a lot of these types of books so I am going to have to try some of the ones on your list. I would love if during the summer when I am not in school that you make more of these since I will have more time. I know you probably won't take notice to some random comment, but I would love to just talk about different things like books, collectibles, video games, society, or just life with you. You are one of those people I could talk hours with about random things and enjoy every single minute of it. Anyways I am rambling too much at this point but keep up the wonderful videos about *your* interests. Love ya Pewds. *Edit:* Some great books to read: The Scarlet Pimpernel, a fictional book based on the French Revolution involving romance, adventure, humor, and sacrifice. Also one of my favorite series of books: Ranger's Apprentice, a medieval fiction series that is highly immersive and well done. It involves action, humor, romance, adventure, war, and sacrifice. One of the best series of books in the world in my opinion. If you start it you won't stop until you finish it. I could talk hours about this series but I don't want to make this comment too long. Lastly I love reading the classic horrors like Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and even Dracula because of how different it is then horror today. They use things like sacrifice, paranoia, and crime to make horror. It is truly magnificent. Again I would love to talk about books or anything with you or anyone else who would like to. *Edit 2:* Thanks for liking this guys! Keep it up so that Pewds might be able to see it
Never have I ever dared to imagine how intellectual you are. I must say I surprised, but moreover, I intrigued. I feel like we finally getting to see more authentic side of Felix, not PewDiePie, the guy who scream and swears and alway fun and cool. Maybe PewDiePie is becoming that Felix now. And I love that you highly regard honesty and truth and that you stand behind your words. I think being a genuine human being is first is super important. Right now seeing the serious and thoughtful side of you is the best thing you ever done with your channel. Thank you for that genuine otiginal content, I love what you're doing, because you do what you love.
I may be a little biased because i looove reading, but these videos are some of the most interesting and entertaining content that i've seen on TH-cam in a long time. Very direct, lighthearted, "easy" and FUN conversation about books. Couldn't ask for more. Good job Felix *vigorous clap*
Its rare see Felix doing this, but i really appreciate when he did it. He introduced to his channel a little part with culture, a part more seriously than his other typical content, and this can be called... *Quality Content*
I know this is hella late (lol when am i ever on time) but I've been rewatching your book reviews back and forth from time to time. I just want to point out that Kafka did not burn the majority of his work because it was personal (don't get me wrong, in a way, they are. It is his work, it will always be personal), it was rather because he felt that his works are rather incompetent and nobody should ever read it. He thinks they're not good enough and this relates to the relationship he had with his father as you mentioned in the video. He was mentally and emotionally abused to the point he thinks he's a complete worthless person (as well as his work). I wish you could bring back book reviews, it truly lets us know you better as "Felix" and we (at least me personally) love to hear what you think about these books.
I love this Felix, the calm one, the serious one. He doesnt need to yell at every video, I mean this one is my favorite even tho he just talks about books.
I totally agree while i love the effort he puts in to videos even after all this time on YT these videos are is nice to see it reminds me hes not just a lovable raving lunatic lol. i usually hate ads in videos and if a see a video with more than two i'm like "no thanks" but i began to make an exception for Felix's vids now i've got to the stage of turning the add blocker off just for TH-cam and tbh its mostly because of him...he makes good points. Hes not the king for no reason lol👌
PewDiePie really seems a better place than ever. It really has become such an amazing place. Also from the last video, I looked into and bought the Life 3.0. And boy was that an amazing one. I am at 151 page or something around which it is talking about the AI takeover possibilities and consequences. The book completely changed my mind about how things work in the AI world. I am yet to complete it. Pewds is slowly improving who I am. I was a little-depressed guy with nothing but a few friends who I couldn't trust fully either. I wasn't into reading and just killed myself to sleep browsing Reddit. I started watching pewds in the late 2014 and haven't stopped yet. It just brings a smile on my face to see that a video is up and I can watch it. Pewds, thanks for being there for me. *BROFIST*
the metamorphosis is one of my most favorite books especially with the literary elements used in it, the parallelism between the characters and the question of existentialism in it gave me a different perspective on life. it was intriguing cause of the concept of becoming an insect but the takeaway made this book beautiful. i’m so glad felix had read this book and did a review on it!!!!
Love this book club! It’s nice to see serious, smart pewds. Here’s some book suggestions based on what you like: East of Eden - John Steinbeck The Waste Land - T.S Eliot Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier (highly recommend even though the blurb might not sound exciting) Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro You might need a fun read after all of this! I’d recommend The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness.
You’re so smart. You are a great role model for people, kids. Please keep doing this series and your other videos too. Love you. Pewds, you definitely deserve to be the biggest youtuber!
As much as I love pewds screaming and meme-ing hard its always great and funny to see, but every once and a while it’s cool to see him just chill out and talk even if it’s about something simple like books I’d never thought I’d enjoy something like it thanks pewds😉
I love this series so much. I had to read Flowers for Algernon in middle school, and it became one of the greatest stories I've ever read. I know it sounds cliche, but that book was life-changing for me. It made me realize that because I was still so young, and my brain was developing, there were a lot of things I probably just couldn't see. I realized that many of my friends may have not actually cared about me, and once I grew more mature, they'd lose interest in me, so dedicating time to our friendships were probably pointless (which definitely happened after high school ended). And also that maybe my middle school bully saw my vulnerabilities at the time and decided to take advantage of them, meaning that if I identified those vulnerabilities and denied people access to them, perhaps I could get rid of my bully. It caused me to change my outlook on life, and I became much more independent from that point on. Flowers for Algernon was also the first book to ever bring me to tears. It was so weird reading it again years later. Now, instead of being able to relate with the main character, I pitied him and kept having the urge to tell him what to do. I almost felt like he was too innocent like a child in a man's body, and the world did nothing to raise him, because maybe we don't actually care about children, but instead who they'll grow up to be, so when there's a child that never grows up, we don't have any interest in them. It's a very thought-provoking novel and I recommend it.
CheekyGoose good writing!! I literaly had the same, the way that Charlie realizes that his so called friends make fun of him, and uses him is just heartbreaking. If I can recommend, try 11/22/63 by Stephen King. That was the first book I cried in the end.
Who knew I would love watching book reviews by a TH-cam "gamer" who used to scream all the time back in the day. Who knew the most subscribed person in TH-cam would be such a positive influence unlike others who're vying for the position (the Paul brothers) while getting slandered by the media
Felix, you probably won't see this in the sea of comments, but I highly recommend the book "Obasan" by Joy Kogawa. It's a very moving book and as someone who has an interest in Japanese culture I think you would find it compelling. I read it in high school and I still remember it vividly. I'm loving these book club videos, keep up the great work!
Japanese literature is beautiful. I read Akutagawa, and Soseki. Soseki's Kokoro is maybe one of the best books I've ever read. It is such a genuien story, that really makes you think about a lot of things, especially firendship and life itself. You should take a peek about it Pewds. And there is my Hyperion recommenditation still, I've started to read ot again, and I like it so much. :D
I finished re-reading it and am now on Fall of Hyperion. The books are still enjoyable or still horrifying I should say on the second read. The reerad is helping to clarify a lot of lingering questions I had. I'm finally going to read the next two books as well to get the complete story, even if they are apparently not as good.
That is a big reason he is number one to me. I cant stand channels of fake personas that are like fox news or something. I can only stomach so much Vsauce for that reason. I’ll take real personality any day.
Yea I really like this Felix, and I know that sounds weird because obviously in his other videos he's still himself but sometimes I wanna have a little break from LWIAY and just listen to Pewds talking about books lmao
You should get a Goodreads account because then you can post what book you're currently reading and what books you've read. Also, you'd be able to create lists of what books to read each month so that we can keep track of what's going on.
lol. This motivate me just like Shia LaBeouf did. xD jokes apart, this actually motivates me. I have just collected the books name. Hopefully I will start reading.
"I just pick a book I wanna read, I don't really think about how long it is" - let's read Crime & Punishment (750 pages). Next month "War & Peace" (1250 pages). Pewdiepie book club is a brilliant idea though - especially the focus on classic books that everyone should read. Don't forget about libraries for physical books, many now have the option to get ebooks or audible books too! I'm reading currently reading George Orwell's "1984" and David Icke's "Everything You Need To Know, But Have Never Been Told"
Thank you for having this series, i've been getting more interrested in books so this helps alot! I've been searching for books that not alot of people talks about and those books you're presenting/reviewing seems very interresting and not something i've heard of before. I also want to thank you for reviewing Bushido, i love japan and japanese culture so i will definetely read this!
The Merchant _Mohamed Hirey why you meh? How's your homework going? I just started crime and punishment. This morning I finished flowers for Algernon, it was really good.
Old man and the sea, my short take on it, my iceberg. Unlucky stage, depression, no future to be seen but despair. The fish and the sharks, the fish represent a dream or goal, working towards this goal, with every bit of suffering that hard work brings, eventually catching this fish, the achievement of this goal/dream you had. The sharks are the people that envy your achievement, by bringing you down and destroying what you worked so hard for. The Lions: What you wished you were, strong and independent, not to be messed with. This is my take on the old man and the sea, i literally finished this book 10 minutes ago, and went back to this video to see what pewds had to say, and to give my view. It's a very personal take on the story and the ''hidden part'' of the iceberg ofcouse, I'd love for you guys to reply and talk more about the meaning of this book.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand pewdiepies content . The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Pewdiepie's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Pewdiepie's videos truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Felix's existencial catchphrase "REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Felix Kjellberg's genius unfolds itself on their computer/phone,tablet etc. screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a PewDiePie tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the wamens' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Metamorphosis brings to light the term "conditional love". His parent's love for him slowly falters as soon as he became an insect because he can no longer work to support the family. This is clearly evident when he dies, but the family doesn't really care and just throws in out. They fully support his younger sister who is obviously in a better state than he is. (in my opinion lol).
I swear i never know what I'm getting into when I click on these videos. Is it meme review? Pewnews? Book review? Ya never know and that's why you all keep coming back.
Hey Felix, I read the metamorphosis recently and it's such a sad story, I have learned that empathy is a important quality in a person, I think as long as you keep satisfying people, they will show the good side of their faces. Once you see the bottom line and are not able to provide them with what they want, they will turn their backs. THANK YOU for reviewing books btw! LOVE IT
If he doesn't wanna read books that's his desicion. Sure books often can be benefitial and educational but you shouldn't look down on someone for choosing not to read, cause that's just pretentious.
Well it's not that I don't read at all but I just don't have time to read so many books (I already have to read so much for college stuff). I do want to get more into reading books I actually want to read though.
![โรงเรียนตอนตี 2 โคตรหลอน..!! [โรงเรียนไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2MAEMwqVYh8/mqdefault.jpg)
I think this series is one of the best Felix have ever done.
Fabian Semb this should be a NetFelix show. Get it? Netflix...Felix. alright then Il go
agreed
Fabian It’s the same as Friday with pewdiepie
ikr! Ihaven't read properly in ages. These are some great tips to start again!
Fabian Semb I really recommend Ray Bradbury. His works are phenomenal, and I also recommend that you start with either Fahrenheit 451 or The illustrated Man. Both great pieces that you can get sucked into

The fact that this video series exists is one of the few things that make me feel good about the future of humanity.
Nurpus yess yess hmmmmmmmm
I’m so happy, scrolling through the comments seeing someone who literally had the pretty much same thought I had
humanity is fucked either way this just proves that some humans do care about others lol :)
its inspiring so shut up!
@Nurpus why? was there Felix's book review that got deleted?
Wow, I actually really liked this. I always like your regular memetastic content, it puts a smile on my face but this kind of video actually coming from you, is very interesting.

A miracle that happens in a lifetime. He makes an 20 minute video. I'm speechless.
Would listen to a podcast of pewds critiquing books
ofcourse
Then he'd have to read a lot more and I think he's not as into it anymore right? Back into video games?
Same I'm listening to this while making homework
my mom: "i wish you did something after school."
me: "i'm in pewdiepie's literature club."
mom: "who?"
its offical
Lol what a great question
It's a great book club to be in :-)
Such a good series man. Please keep it up.

2) "Stoner" by John Williams
3) "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai
Cheers! Amazon has a few "No Longer Human" books by different authors, I assumed it was the Osamu Dazai one. Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks!
Oh I quite liked “No longer human”
TrouserSnake MD Anything by Dostoyevsky is worth reading, crime and punishment is a good one to start with.
the hero we needed
I wish this series come back in the future.. really need some reading recommendation during this period lol.

Yea, I think Pewdiepie could inspire a lot of people into reading books.
It came back
👏👏 book review 👏👏 book review 👏👏 book review 👏👏 book review 👏👏
I know PewDiePie that your fanbase can sometimes seem immature and stupid but it's honestly great to see you enjoying yourself. Reading and going into your hobbies which make you happy. I have been here since 2012, and I never thought you'd be my favorite TH-camr. You're an inspiration to smaller streamers and youtubers like me. Keep being you pewds, stay awesome. Brofist
I totally agrre with this, what a nice comment 😊
Honestly I feel that his fanbase isn't actually that immature, it acts that way whenever he uploads his normal sarcastic videos, I think that whenever he uploads serious videos we can surprisingly act with more maturity than usual.
Hearing Felix talk about something he enjoys for 20 minutes straight is compelling.
Where is the new one :(
MusicForHours it out
I know right
21:50 "Anywhale" ... I think the whale facts from Moby Dick really got to his head
Thank you whaly much
I've said it before, but i'll say it again: Thank you for this, Felix! I love this series!!
As someone who reads lots of books, and who's a huge fan of yours, this is the most perfect thing to watch! :D
I'm totally on board with these videos! I love reading and listening to different opinions afterwards.
It would be interesting if you could post different polls during the month in between those videos. Those polls could be about the books you're reading and could integrate the bros and sisters much better.
Brofist
Ștefan Manole you have gotten noticed by the god of youtube congratulations my hat is off to you

Felix: I was gonna read a passage but we aren't on that level of cringe yet.
Also Felix: *reads a passage from a book*
As a content creator who delves deep into an array of topics, seeing Felix promote learning and reading truly solidifies my belief in him as an upstanding person, irrespective of any past controversies surrounding his name.
+BanditRants your content = GOD
I whole heartedly agree.
pewdiepie is my idol
100% my guy
yet TH-cam hates him
I love this series A LOT, and I really appreciate you for doing it. You're obviously stereotypically a comedy youtuber but picking up something serious once in a while is a very nice effort and please do continue with this
NEXT BOOKS:
✿ Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
✿ Stoner
by John Edward Williams
✿ No Longer Human

Alright! This will be fun. And I love these genuine Felix reviews.
And I recommend:
* The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas
* The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
* Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
And just for kicks,
*The Detective Games by Zechariah Barrett (that’s me)
The Game Detective i found the booktheif kind of boring
Yeah, I wasn't as impressed with it as a lot of people were. But I think it's worth a read. Especially with Felix having read through Moby Dick. He may find it interesting as well.
The Game Detective Mann I just finished no longer human , it's a highly recommend book , do you know any other books that got the same theme like being a semi autobiography of the actual author ?
The Count of Monte Cristo YES 🙌🏻

*Edit:* Some great books to read: The Scarlet Pimpernel, a fictional book based on the French Revolution involving romance, adventure, humor, and sacrifice. Also one of my favorite series of books: Ranger's Apprentice, a medieval fiction series that is highly immersive and well done. It involves action, humor, romance, adventure, war, and sacrifice.

Yes!! 😃
i love when pewdiepie is actually being serious
Tomas Eastwood i know right, love his insights
Never have I ever dared to imagine how intellectual you are. I must say I surprised, but moreover, I intrigued.

*pewds is making literature content*
*gets no ad before the video*
I got ads 🤔🤔🤔🤔 *h m m m m*
Sprinterboy 97 he got two lmao
Yez but i think only bcs his vid is 10 minutes long
Its rare see Felix doing this, but i really appreciate when he did it.
He introduced to his channel a little part with culture, a part more seriously than his other typical content, and this can be called...
*Quality Content*
ZArtwork holy crap those look amazing actually.
@pewds you’re probably not going to see this but please continue this series! The ppl who do watch these vids love to hear your thoughts!
@Al1ve are you?
Dude. This is so incredibly awesome that you do this!
Keep this content up! Hopefully it will stir others to read a little more!
Joshua Benton he's been doing this for three months now :D :D :D
No way! I love that! I also found it funny he didn't make a joke about it being a sperm whale....but hey at least he got sea man.
Okay I’m loving this series

me too dood! ^_^
i actually love these videos so much wtf i need to actually start reading along
Olivia Rosado same!!
yeah i love it too cause i will never read them
I know this is hella late (lol when am i ever on time) but I've been rewatching your book reviews back and forth from time to time. I just want to point out that Kafka did not burn the majority of his work because it was personal (don't get me wrong, in a way, they are. It is his work, it will always be personal), it was rather because he felt that his works are rather incompetent and nobody should ever read it. He thinks they're not good enough and this relates to the relationship he had with his father as you mentioned in the video. He was mentally and emotionally abused to the point he thinks he's a complete worthless person (as well as his work). I wish you could bring back book reviews, it truly lets us know you better as "Felix" and we (at least me personally) love to hear what you think about these books.
GUYS JOHNNY DEE IS IN THE HOSPITAL GET PEWDS ATTENTION
I love this Felix, the calm one, the serious one. He doesnt need to yell at every video, I mean this one is my favorite even tho he just talks about books.
shutatatap..we all know what went down in that 2008 elections..you're a decent politician with a winning complexion..stuttering communist
Agreed
I totally agree while i love the effort he puts in to videos even after all this time on YT these videos are is nice to see it reminds me hes not just a lovable raving lunatic lol. i usually hate ads in videos and if a see a video with more than two i'm like "no thanks" but i began to make an exception for Felix's vids now i've got to the stage of turning the add blocker off just for TH-cam and tbh its mostly because of him...he makes good points. Hes not the king for no reason lol👌
Infamous Rj what about markiplier?
He is perfect for you to watch
PewDiePie really seems a better place than ever. It really has become such an amazing place.
Also from the last video, I looked into and bought the Life 3.0. And boy was that an amazing one. I am at 151 page or something around which it is talking about the AI takeover possibilities and consequences. The book completely changed my mind about how things work in the AI world. I am yet to complete it. Pewds is slowly improving who I am. I was a little-depressed guy with nothing but a few friends who I couldn't trust fully either. I wasn't into reading and just killed myself to sleep browsing Reddit. I started watching pewds in the late 2014 and haven't stopped yet. It just brings a smile on my face to see that a video is up and I can watch it.
Pewds, thanks for being there for me. *BROFIST*
+Game1 Aren't you shameless?
the metamorphosis is one of my most favorite books especially with the literary elements used in it, the parallelism between the characters and the question of existentialism in it gave me a different perspective on life. it was intriguing cause of the concept of becoming an insect but the takeaway made this book beautiful. i’m so glad felix had read this book and did a review on it!!!!
This is literally my favourite series of his now
This is actualy one of my favourite series on your channel
It is 2018 and my new fav Pewdiepie series is this Literature Club. I LOVE WHERE THIS CHANNEL IS GOING.
No it's JOHNNY DEE
I am very much enjoy it as well!!!
Damn I thought it was 1492
Meagan Seith same here .
BRING BACK BOOK REVIEW, I NEED IT
Love this book club! It’s nice to see serious, smart pewds.
Here’s some book suggestions based on what you like:
East of Eden - John Steinbeck
The Waste Land - T.S Eliot
Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier (highly recommend even though the blurb might not sound exciting)
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
You might need a fun read after all of this! I’d recommend The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness.
Evie Laurent Hope he sees this! Great Books! (at least the ones I know)
Read ready player one
East of Eden is amazing
I literally see you on every comment section
Konane Pelekai It’s my all time favourite!
*why haven't you finished your schoolwork?
- Pewds gave me homework :|
Menace lol
Menace *OMEWA MOU SHINDEIRU*
Ah.... I wish i was in school.... just to do this....
Teacher : "why didn't you finish your homework"
Papa pewds gave me homework
Aryan Parikh lol
do your homework.
WE 👏 NEED 👏 ANOTHER 👏 BOOK 👏 REVIEW 👏
Yes
These videos are so relaxing, I just play them in the background while i draw and it's a great alternative to music
Sophie Quadri , canvas painting Mars rn, great alternative
You’re so smart. You are a great role model for people, kids. Please keep doing this series and your other videos too. Love you. Pewds, you definitely deserve to be the biggest youtuber!
(This comment will probably get lost in the comment section.) :’((
I remember this comment for years to come.
That is so true.. he is really a good role model and a genuinely nice guy.. i love him.. and this comment will be remembered by me years to come..
When Pewdiepie said "did you do your homework" i panicked for a second and was like "i had homework?!"
Ready Set Ashlyn just subscribe
SO YOU DIDN'T! You should be ashamed.
i'm terrible I know
Ready Set Ashlyn story of my school life lol
I love his book review more than his gaming
These are definitely my favorite Pewdiepie videos
See parents, TH-cam is educational
As much as I love pewds screaming and meme-ing hard its always great and funny to see, but every once and a while it’s cool to see him just chill out and talk even if it’s about something simple like books I’d never thought I’d enjoy something like it thanks pewds😉
I love this series so much.
I had to read Flowers for Algernon in middle school, and it became one of the greatest stories I've ever read. I know it sounds cliche, but that book was life-changing for me. It made me realize that because I was still so young, and my brain was developing, there were a lot of things I probably just couldn't see. I realized that many of my friends may have not actually cared about me, and once I grew more mature, they'd lose interest in me, so dedicating time to our friendships were probably pointless (which definitely happened after high school ended). And also that maybe my middle school bully saw my vulnerabilities at the time and decided to take advantage of them, meaning that if I identified those vulnerabilities and denied people access to them, perhaps I could get rid of my bully. It caused me to change my outlook on life, and I became much more independent from that point on.
Flowers for Algernon was also the first book to ever bring me to tears. It was so weird reading it again years later. Now, instead of being able to relate with the main character, I pitied him and kept having the urge to tell him what to do. I almost felt like he was too innocent like a child in a man's body, and the world did nothing to raise him, because maybe we don't actually care about children, but instead who they'll grow up to be, so when there's a child that never grows up, we don't have any interest in them. It's a very thought-provoking novel and I recommend it.
this was literally me, we had to read this book recently, and i loved it.
CheekyGoose good writing!!
I literaly had the same, the way that Charlie realizes that his so called friends make fun of him, and uses him is just heartbreaking.
If I can recommend, try 11/22/63 by Stephen King. That was the first book I cried in the end.
CheekyGoose It's a beautiful book.
СНЯЛ КЛИП ДЛЯ ДЕВУШКИ th-cam.com/video/WQSbi3KMmcc/w-d-xo.html
Really? I never liked the book, maybe I don't understand it well enough or something?
Where did this series go? It’s been my favorite
came for the laughs, stayed for the books
They say "pewds don't have original content" hah hah
That's not what they say at all. They say he DOESN'T have. ;)
there is a thing called speaking in slang bro
siam895 Yes, but writing in slang makes you look stupid.
No, it doesn't. The joke transferres great in writing.
why are we having joke language analysis sessions?
Who knew I would love watching book reviews by a TH-cam "gamer" who used to scream all the time back in the day. Who knew the most subscribed person in TH-cam would be such a positive influence unlike others who're vying for the position (the Paul brothers) while getting slandered by the media
Redwan Ahmed that's alot...
Amen, brother.
Redwan Ahmed this is the comment I've been wanting to read 👌👌
Felix, you probably won't see this in the sea of comments, but I highly recommend the book "Obasan" by Joy Kogawa. It's a very moving book and as someone who has an interest in Japanese culture I think you would find it compelling. I read it in high school and I still remember it vividly.
I'm loving these book club videos, keep up the great work!
Rielle Marsh a book called grandma, interesting... 😂😂
Such a good book, one of my favourites!
I love intelectual pewds.I think it's fun to see human Felix not meme Felix and reminds me why I still support him
Kiros Pedraza so true
Japanese literature is beautiful. I read Akutagawa, and Soseki. Soseki's Kokoro is maybe one of the best books I've ever read. It is such a genuien story, that really makes you think about a lot of things, especially firendship and life itself. You should take a peek about it Pewds.
And there is my Hyperion recommenditation still, I've started to read ot again, and I like it so much. :D
I finished re-reading it and am now on Fall of Hyperion. The books are still enjoyable or still horrifying I should say on the second read. The reerad is helping to clarify a lot of lingering questions I had. I'm finally going to read the next two books as well to get the complete story, even if they are apparently not as good.
tbh i really do appreciate you opening up to us, and just being yourself in general
Same
same.
That is a big reason he is number one to me. I cant stand channels of fake personas that are like fox news or something. I can only stomach so much Vsauce for that reason. I’ll take real personality any day.
Yea I really like this Felix, and I know that sounds weird because obviously in his other videos he's still himself but sometimes I wanna have a little break from LWIAY and just listen to Pewds talking about books lmao
So much yes.
This is quality content. This is the best Pewdiepie.
Thank you, pewds, and never change. We love you.
You should get a Goodreads account because then you can post what book you're currently reading and what books you've read. Also, you'd be able to create lists of what books to read each month so that we can keep track of what's going on.
How tf did this get 100 likes, wut?
Get.
Sponsored.
Sarah M. Great idea!
Yes! It would be awesome! And he's actually reading good books, and he's getting younger people into reading :)
Goodreads it's great!
Can somebody recommend a good book like "American psycho"?
I really enjoyed it especially the murderer's perspective.
Thanks.
Flowers for Algernon is such an interesting story. Its super short. You should all check it out.
Matthew Wong I just finished that book tonight and wow... I read the last page and just sat there for 20minutes and didn’t know what to do
youre actually making me read more then my teachers ever could.
lol. This motivate me just like Shia LaBeouf did. xD
jokes apart, this actually motivates me. I have just collected the books name. Hopefully I will start reading.
Truth. Him and Jordan Peterson
Love the series!!!
Yeah, I have read all the books he said he would in the previous video.

i appreciate stickyness
Wilburgur Wowee
Wilburgur always weird finding TH-camrs watching other TH-camrs
WOWEEEEE guys
hey, how's the cat doing?
Wilburgur ну конечно я ничего не понял но да ладно всё равно лайкнул
Write the books in the description pls
Crime and Punishment (Dostoyevsky), Stoner (John Edward Williams) and No Longer Human (Osamu Dazai)
Oh hi there.
Do we have time for bonus book?
"I just pick a book I wanna read, I don't really think about how long it is" - let's read Crime & Punishment (750 pages). Next month "War & Peace" (1250 pages).
Pewdiepie book club is a brilliant idea though - especially the focus on classic books that everyone should read.
Don't forget about libraries for physical books, many now have the option to get ebooks or audible books too!
I'm reading currently reading George Orwell's "1984" and David Icke's "Everything You Need To Know, But Have Never Been Told"
Whenever I want to skip some part of the video PewDiePie says that "please keep watching"so I obey him
Shikh TV same
this is the best series on this channel.
Denzy No.
It's not the best series I think
Denzy no mate
Agreed
meme 👏👏 review
Man I love this series
Thank you for having this series, i've been getting more interrested in books so this helps alot! I've been searching for books that not alot of people talks about and those books you're presenting/reviewing seems very interresting and not something i've heard of before. I also want to thank you for reviewing Bushido, i love japan and japanese culture so i will definetely read this!
I know we always make fun of this show but it’s non-ironically my favourite series of his :3
ballsackface
Ballsackface
Billy K Yeah same 😁😁
Pity
i love this series
*Homework:*
"Crime and Punishment" by: Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Stoner" by: John Williams
"No Longer Human" by: Osamu Dazai
Yes!!!
Dazai??
The Merchant _Mohamed Hirey why you meh?
How's your homework going?
I just started crime and punishment.
This morning I finished flowers for Algernon, it was really good.
Yeona 여나
is that wrong? o.O
I just did a quick Google search
Kat H no LMAO. My weeb ass thought it wss an anime character. Anyways, whats this book about?
Old man and the sea, my short take on it, my iceberg.
Unlucky stage, depression, no future to be seen but despair.
The fish and the sharks, the fish represent a dream or goal, working towards this goal, with every bit of suffering that hard work brings, eventually catching this fish, the achievement of this goal/dream you had. The sharks are the people that envy your achievement, by bringing you down and destroying what you worked so hard for.
The Lions: What you wished you were, strong and independent, not to be messed with.
This is my take on the old man and the sea, i literally finished this book 10 minutes ago, and went back to this video to see what pewds had to say, and to give my view.
It's a very personal take on the story and the ''hidden part'' of the iceberg ofcouse, I'd love for you guys to reply and talk more about the meaning of this book.
You are the most precious listener of this channel because of the first comment you made on this channel !!!
@@wakky1038 Haha thanks :)

I appreciate that Felix is taking time to serious, thoughtful and honest literary discussion, in his personal and funny style. Great video.
As a reading fanatic, I'm loving it too, I hope he does more videos like this!!
The two styles mesh together extremely well, don't they?
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand pewdiepies content . The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Pewdiepie's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Pewdiepie's videos truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Felix's existencial catchphrase "REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Felix Kjellberg's genius unfolds itself on their computer/phone,tablet etc. screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a PewDiePie tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the wamens' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Amusing, true and yet a very dead meme.
Hassan DM
I... I can't tell if you're joking or not
Please. Stop.
I think its pretty easy to see that im kidding. Or am i?
Bet he’s got the same opinion on rick and morty
Metamorphosis brings to light the term "conditional love". His parent's love for him slowly falters as soon as he became an insect because he can no longer work to support the family. This is clearly evident when he dies, but the family doesn't really care and just throws in out. They fully support his younger sister who is obviously in a better state than he is. (in my opinion lol).
I swear i never know what I'm getting into when I click on these videos. Is it meme review? Pewnews? Book review? Ya never know and that's why you all keep coming back.
After a century, PewDiePie has finally upload a 20 minutes long video....
Aaaaand only 1 ad
Actually, it has 2 ads. But hey, true true..
Its about books 📚 :(.
Hahahaha I effin know right.. what's wrong with this dude...
Effie Jordan you’re a cop

YTCallMeKings You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.
YTCallMeKings i am watching season 4 episode 13
Can he pls start playing Sudoku like a real gamer
Okay I laughed a lot at this xD
lolz
Hey Felix, I read the metamorphosis recently and it's such a sad story, I have learned that empathy is a important quality in a person, I think as long as you keep satisfying people, they will show the good side of their faces. Once you see the bottom line and are not able to provide them with what they want, they will turn their backs. THANK YOU for reviewing books btw! LOVE IT
Ok, pewds. This book review type of videos are sincerely the best thing you have come up with❤
it's good but he didn't come up with it, it's straight up just a book club
what about whiskey tasting videos? you can enjoy those just as much and feel better about your alcoholism..
Well, it's the only thing he came up with.
I don't even read the books but I love hearing Felix talk about them.
Thats just lazy, at least hit up the audio books.
If he doesn't wanna read books that's his desicion. Sure books often can be benefitial and educational but you shouldn't look down on someone for choosing not to read, cause that's just pretentious.
Well it's not that I don't read at all but I just don't have time to read so many books (I already have to read so much for college stuff). I do want to get more into reading books I actually want to read though.
SAME
I very rarely read books
