2666.."I'll probably read it in 2-3 days max." ... I hate you a little bit. Just a little.
he kills me sometimes
read susie read I know right?! lol It would take me a week and a half. No make that like a month. haha "Oh I'm just going to read these three books after breakfast. Then pick up a couple more after lunch…." haha Awesome.
my thoughts exactly.
I read that book in four days. And in the fourth day I went to bed at 4:00 AM.
My friend Chris and I love you so much that we used Chromecast to watch this on his television. YOUR FACE WAS SO BIG IT WAS GLORIOUS.

"I live in Ireland,we dont learn that shit" YOU KILLED ME HERE!
The advent of speed reading? Tell me more, please.
You never fail to brighten my day, Barry.
Question: How did you train yourself to speed read?
Actually, your pronunciation was perfect ;) (I'm Chilean btw)
there was a fifty shades of grey commercial before watching this video. and i laughed so loud.
Very fitting xD
your hair is at the perfect length right now i really want to touch it.
Lol
2666 looks intriguing! Happy reading!
"I live in Ireland, guys, we don't learn that shit" - I am so done.
I'm completely the same with the tendency to read from the library - I own at least 30 books that I haven't read, and yet somehow also feel the need to have 20+ books checked out from the library constantly. It also doesn't help that my university library allows me to renew books pretty much infinitely unless someone puts them on hold...at some point I'm just going to have to get a separate bookshelf for library books. :o
Interested to see what you think of Franny and Zooey, because I hated it when I was a teenager, but appreciated it much more when I reread it this year.
Franny
You are awesome! Love your personality and you make me want to read......more.
Best. Intro. Ever.
So much Canadiana in this video - I love it :)
You've discovered the brilliance that are libraries
Studying Malamud at the moment. Pretty amazing author!
Can you make a video on how to speed read? :)
Baz you read SOOOO much, holy shit! and haha sounds weird but I love how you swear, I dont know it makes me laugh and you're just great!
Fun & enjoyment is exactly what I get from all of your videos. Also, don't ban yourself from the library, then you'll kill your tbr quicker and Friday reads won't be a thing anymore, sad sad day. Your new idea for review videos also sounds fab because it means more of your videos so yay! I'm also looking forward to seeing the rumored speed-reading video here.
"ñ" sounds like "gn" in french, it's the only way I can think of describing it, but you said it right :)
Saul Bellow AND Davies! The CanLit hashtag better watch out! Glad Davies arrived safe and sound.
The ending. Just, the ending.
Haha that happens with the library. I would be done with my Project 10 Books if I didn't check out books.
Hey Baz. I've been binge-watching your videos and it got me thinking about which books from this era will be considered classics, say, a century from now.
I personally love Ian McEwan's writing, so I like to think that at least some of his stuff will be read for generations to come.
I'd love to hear what you think? Which books will our grand-grandchildren pick up, when they want to know about us?
Barry, pray come back. Booktube's turned into a haultube and it's driving me mad. I linger for raw critical reviews; there's only so much synopsis rephrasing (aka the-flash-review-with-"I loooved it"-argument) I can take.
I live in the USA and it's lucky if we learn to read at all
"I started friday reads in order to kill my tbr but the majourity of the books I'm reading are from the library. I'm ridiculous, I need to just ban myself from the library." I connect to this on such a deep level I purposely didn't renew my card a few months back
You're so sassy :3 you're my favourite youtuber by far
Please post more ;( ur awesome just amazing
Bolaño is so good! I recomend "Estrella Distante" from him (don't know how the title it is translated, sorry)
Distant Star! :] One of my favorites by him!
Daisy Nicholas
I should have guessed lol but sometimes spanish titles are translated awfully
Could you do a video on speed reading? Is the result of speed reading that you primarily focus on the main plot line and disregard everything that doesn't directly deal with that? And do you feel that you get as much out of any page as when you do not speed read? Is it a matter of super high concentration?
The little squiggly thing name's "tilde" :)
Bel Canto has been calling to me from my shelves forever; I'm determined to get to it within the next six months. Love that you love cakes because as you can see from my avi, I too love the cupcake.
Could you make a video about speed reading? or did you already do that? or if you don't want to ignore this. I've been trying to read faster and don't 'pronounce' the words in my mind.. but.. well.. it's not really working out..
"I live in Ireland. We don't learn that shit." Glad I found your channel, just sub'd.
omg first time on your channel and you're hilarious.
I love Fifth Business!
We've both started 2666, it's long. I think I need to get a bigger text copy (my excuse for never finishing/reading a book I know I should). Has all this reading business just made us prematurely old and we already have eye problems!?
I am excited for you and SteveReadsBooks to actually finish it. Someone has to.
I just love the library! Ever since a friend of mine helped me figure out Overdrive and I can borrow books on my eReader. It's terribly fantastic! I hope you like The Light Fantastic. If you do Mort and Reaper Man are some of my favourites.
I hope to expand my reading horizons this coming year and take on many more genres, so I'm very glad to be following your channel! ^_^
Short speed reading video?
oh. Could you be so kind as to explain in one of your future videos all about speed reading? Please.
I am with you on banning my library. I have around 550 books on my shelves all genres. Yet I still insist on checking out around 20 books a month. I can only read about 20 books a month. So I'm always reading library books and nothing from my shelves UBER LAME!
You pronounce Bolaño perfectly, I'm quite impressed haha! I really want to read somre Bolaño too, I own a collection of his poems in spanish.
Four books. All under 300 pages "I'll finish them in one sitting." No big deal, y'know.
Come back, this channel gonna blow up now.
Are you humming Debussy's La Mer at the beginning? Winning :D
i read franny and zooey last sunday. i liked it.
Currently reading The Luminaries. Come back! love from L.A.
Hey Barry could you tell us more about your speed reading? What is your speed like - in terms of how much time do you take to read a book of say 300 pages? Because you seem to be finishing books awfully fast. And also, I frikkin love you.
Did he ever finish the buddy read with SteveReads..........?
You said "Bolaño" correctly!
When are you going to post your next review video? I'm very interested in learning your opinion!
Yeah! Libraries ftw! :)
I love to read so much, but I cant read that well, mostly cause im dyslexic, I cant spell worth a shit, and im usually busy, and it mde me really jealouse when you said "Its only 300 pages, ill probably finish it in one sitting" That would honestly take me two weeks to read
You're the best.
Ohhh can you tell us what you think of The Adventures of Augie March. I think you will really like it - hardly anything at all happens! I liked it.
Make a video on speed reading! I'd like to learn how to read 2666 in three days :p
What do you think about Zoella's ghostwritten book?
Could you possibly make a video a discussing your hate of twilight and the hunger games? Most of book tube agrees that the twilight series are not good, yet in contrast they LOVE the hunger games. It's refreshing that you don't like the hunger games. Please,please make a video about it!
It takes me one month to read a 600 page book... IF THE BOOK IS GOOD :( If it's not then it takes longer. I have no idea why I'm so slow because I like reading and I'm not dyslexic or anything.
Please post more videos soon! it's been too long.
That's a mouthful of a list.
"Ms. Canto is my favorite author." Hahahahaha, oh god.
Barry how in the world do you manage to read all that, (KEEP IT UP!!!), and do you even work?
You're just the best, love your videos. :)
2666 - want to see what you think about it, will be checking Goodreads :)
How? Just how do you read that much in a week? In a month? That's amazing! :O
Baz u mentioned Uni, are u at uni? and what are you studying???
Baz "Fun and Enjoyment" Pierce for Booktube PM
Wait so how many did you read this past week?
Ten
Bazpierce HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?! 10 BOOKS IN ONE WEEK?!?!?!?!??! (envious kisses from Brazil :* )
Camila Lustosa +bazpierce
yes bizzar!! love your videos
the n with the squiggly "ñ" is called an en-yeh. It makes a "n-y" sound. "nyeh" I don't know if this helps.
Oh yeah like "piñata"
I gave you a little shoutout on my haul video and everyone is thanking me for introducing "I swear to motherfuck" to them, lol.
Your actually pronouncing Bolaño correctly!
i miss you
BARRY COME BACK WITH YOUR CYNICISM AND GREASY HAIR
Your pronunciation was perfect. It's funny, I'm chilean too, and I have heard about Roberto Bolaño many many times, but I have never read a single book from him (shame) Even more, it's the first time I heard the book 2666. It's just, I feel, I won't like his type of literature. I'm not sure. Although I'm interested in The Savage Detectives.
Sing in every video.
Fifth Business is shit just so you know. Had to read it for school. It was the single worst experience of my life.
dont worry,you say Bolaño's name right.
HA! I know this video is from Nov...but just need to comment about the library thing.......now I know I'm not the only crazy one out there that has a huge TBR but still checks out books......I have about 12 out.....sure 4 are to learn some computer program, but still......AND to top it off I had a huge book haul just in Jan. alone of about 30+ books.......what is wrong with us/me......ah, anyways...
It's been way too long since you've posted a video:(
WHERE ARE YOUUUUUYYUUUU
So, Bolaño blew your mind or what? (and yes, it is pronounced exactly like that).
Remember when your monthly reviews contained 3-4 books.. Now you read ten+ a week.. How even
You're like a mutant and your super power is reading. Give us speed reading tips. I tried to learn and I couldn't retain anything.
Barry, are you dead? (It's been a while)
I expected an English accent... Heh.
You mispronounced "I'm the best reader ever" at the end.
What's happened to this boy? I used to like his opinions on literature, but he seems to have vanished.
Succumbed to the lure of real life, maybe. Well, good luck to him if he has.
apparently you are not only stopping monthly book reviews, but also stopping making videos altogether. #ripbazpierce
whadda nerd
hmm, Bel Canto, great but overrated.
