I’m shocked you can read a book over 1000 pages in just over 24 hours. I thought I was a fast reader. I can finish a book a day if I want to but not that long of a book. Kudos for being able to do it!
@@bookaholicgameaholicvlogah4191 as far as I know, it's only the very inappropriate parts he skips, so I don't think that accounts for too much volume.
The Stand was one of the first Stephen King books I read, and it blew every expectation I had out of the water. Definetly my favorite book of all time. Awesome that you loved it so much!
King is my favorite author. I've only read The Stand once, and I need to read it again! My copy was 1400 pages, so I read 100 pages a day and finished it in 2 weeks.
My first Steven King book is Carrie ❤ I’m reading the Stand now it’s awesome the way Mr King writes it’s like while you’re reading the characters truly come alive it’s like a theater production in your head can’t explain it 😮
PHENOMENAL video, as always, Ian! The vibe, the book, the music. Pure perfection! Thank you for being such a cool person and always delivering the absolute best! Even though this challenge was proper mad lol. Continue shining and striving!
Thank you my good sir!! Definitely proud of this video! Thank you for always being so encouraging and uplifting! It’s been a real fine pleasure to get to correspond with someone with such a bright spirit!
I've had this beautiful book on my shelf for a few months and I keep looking at it, thinking is today the day I will tackle it? I have put it off due to the thickness, but watching your video, following your journey, and hearing your thoughts, I am so inspired to just dive right in and start my own epic journey. Wish me luck lol and thank you x
The Stand is easily in my top 5 favorite SK novels. I read it back in 2020, and I really enjoyed it. Right now, I read 39 books by him (I'm on my 40th with Duma Key). The man just knows how to write. Keep it going, Ian! You should definitely do 11/22/63. Or you can do a Stephen King vlog. I also really enjoy your energy and positive attitude.
Thank you! He’s my favorite author by far as of right now. I hope to dig more into his catalog soon! I actually just purchased 11/22/63, so hopefully I can crack that puppy open soon!
As always, this was so much fun to watch! The Stand is one of Stephen King's older works, so I'll be reading it soon (hopefully!), and I'm even more excited now!
Haha I love how theres a nice cozy looking bed in frame but you chose to sit on the floor next to it to read for a good bit of the video 😅 Enjoyed hearing your thoughts!
I’m reading “The Stand” too right now for the first time, loving it too. I’m at the part where Larry and Rita just came out of the NJ tunnel. So dang good! I have some fun recommendations for you too. Just read “Vampires of El Norte” by Isabel Canas, it’s old Mexico, forbidden romance, horror, ranches…so good. Her other book “the Hacienda” is excellent too. For a fun sci-fi book for you and Ashlynn, I super recommend “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir. He also wrote “The Martian”, which was made into a movie starring Matt Damon. But PHM has the better payoff in my opinion. There is some science-y tech talk in the book, but it won’t take away from the story, you can skim over those parts. It was my fave sci-fi book of 2021. Just trying to give you a few fun, atmospheric reads for the Fall. Show these to Ashlynn as well. I love you guys!
Wow...I am trying to read 2 books before I have to turn them in to the library Saturday and I am only half way thru on both of them and I have been reading them everyday this week!
24 hrs literal readathon that’s a big goal. Good luck! Awesome vlog‼️💯😊😅💀 also I have started listening to the graphic audiobook of Red Rising and it’s amazing and 😊 super good 💯😊‼️😅💀 so thank you for recommending this series. 😊 I am also glad that you got Ashlynn’s to read Red Rising because between the both of you, I decided to start it.
I read this book in the late 80s early 90s and I can't say I remember it all that well but I do remember it being my favorite book back then. I'm not much of a re-reader and this book is so big I'm not sure if I'm up to the challenge. Lol Side note are you panning on reading book 2 of the Inheritance Game? I thought it was good but not sure if I want to continue the series or not. Thanks for another video and God Bless you!
another great video! love your chill vibes in these reading vlogs, keep it up! 🙂 I started to read the Stand and only got in about 200 pages and then life got in the way but this made me want to start again a keep reading 🙂 also if you plan on doing another readathon you should consider 11/22/63 by King it's my favorite so far 😇
This is insanly crazy 24 hours readathon. Stephen King books are thick. I want you to read Brandon Sanderson's books. Everyone says that he the king of fantasy.😃
This was great! The Stand is a beautiful book im so glad you enjoyed it. I really hope you consider checking out either The Lies Of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch or Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson this year! I would love to hear your thoughts on those fantastic books as well. Have a good one man stay cool!
Last month you had me thinking IT would be my first attempt at Steven king but now I’m thinking the stand might be my trial run! Ether way I decided Steven king month for October because pet seminary has been on my TBR for too long now
The Stand would be an excellent trial run! My only fear is that nothing else would compare once you’ve read it. But, then again, everything he writes is absolutely perfect, so yeah!! Pet Semetary is also on my TBR for next month!
I really enjoyed the stand the uncut version it took me a week to finish it it's definitely one of kings best work to me I'm currently reading the outsider I'm enjoying it my favorite Stephen king book is Dolores Claiborne
Would love to hear your hot take on The Shining! Just finished it as part of my October Spooky TBR and it was my first read by the great, Stephen King!
I'm terrified to do one of these because I don't want to actually know my reading speed 😂 As far as I'm concerned I read as fast as I did in high school and I'm happy living in that delusion :)
Love these vlogs! ❤ Glad you enjoyed the book so much! And yeah I totally agree with everything you said. King is a very good writer. And I also think his endings are well done for me. I also didn't like the sexual parts in the book, so that is why I gave it 4 stars. I really can't wait for you to read Salem's lot, which is my favorite and I think that one doesn't have sexual things, at least not in a weird way.
I read The Stand over 20 years ago and don’t remember a thing 😅 EXCEPT that it was the most epic good vs evil battle, I got really emotional, and it was the most amazing book I’d ever read. Did you know it was made into a miniseries?
"Peepette?"😂. I saw another booktuber who did a random number of hours per day for a week. I think I might attempt that before a 24hr reading vlog. I love watching yours.
Thank you!! Someone in the comments just said they’re doing a random number a day for a week as well. That would be a great idea! Knowing my luck, with my job I would get 10 hours and be screwed😂
@@iangubeli your welcome 😂, yeah 10hrs would be a lot. I'm thinking about doing up to 8. Thankfully at the moment I just do youtube, but I should be writing my book as well.
@@iangubeli well, attempting to write 😊. The Lord wants me to write about the health struggles I've had in the past, my addictions, the blessings and how much He has been there through it all.
@@paperbacksandponytails I. Love. That!! I’m proud of you for obeying His will! Sometimes it’s not an easy thing to tell the story of our past. That’s incredible!!
If you're looking for a similar book to The Stand sometime, check out Swan Song by Robert McCammon. They have similar vibes and plots and both books were really good. (but unfortunately there's also unneeded sexual content)
@iangubeli legitimately though the marriage photoyou have in your background sometimes was Jesus kissing someone hahaha then I realized it was marriage photos hahaha
im working on a video where I have a number generator choose how may hours I have to read... yesterday I read for 6 hours and today I have to read for 4 but its 8:30 pm and I still haven't started! 😳 im gonna be reading late lol!
@@iangubeli thanks its not going great right now because live been busy but I will Finnish it next week! also my channel is not this one its 'Legendary Potter Studios'!
You might want to check out full dark no stars it's a collection of four novellas it was the first book by king that I read been a fan of him ever since
I am new to ur channel, so idk the context w the scenes u were talking about but do u not like any sexual scenes or is it a specific type that u dislike>?
First off, welcome! Glad you there! Second, it’s really any kind of sexual content. It never adds anything to the story (in my opinion). If it’s in a book, I would rather it be closed door. But, yeah!
The Stand was the first Stephen King book I ever read, absolutely loved it! I definitely couldn’t have done it in a 24 hour time frame 😅 but kudos to you! Glad you enjoyed it.

@@bookaholicgameaholicvlogah4191 as far as I know, it's only the very inappropriate parts he skips, so I don't think that accounts for too much volume.
I skip the sexual content. Everything else I read!
Thank you!!
@@nicoletamoraru1128 in the it vlog he said he skipped most of the interludes
7:19 "He's got me flippin' them leafs" hahahahaha I love that 😊
That book is bigger than my self confidence levels. Good video vlog like always ❤
The Stand was one of the first Stephen King books I read, and it blew every expectation I had out of the water. Definetly my favorite book of all time. Awesome that you loved it so much!
Hey Ian you should make a video ranking all the Stephen King books you have read
Love this idea
Such a good idea!!!
I’m sooo happy you read this! I’m currently reading 11/22/63. Very good so far
I just picked that book up at the store! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I love how you love reading!
Great video!!! You read The Stand in an insane amount of time I could never. ❤️
The catalogue of quotes you've said that made me cackle, you're the best man!

I would love to watch you read the throne of glass series! I think you’d really like it:)
That’s a clog I plan on making!!
I love when you say are we allowed to say pandemic, haha. That looked pretty intense and great job finishing the book. ^_^
Great video!
Everytime you or Ashlynn post the wedding photos always catch my eye! Absolutely beautiful images 🤍
Thank you so much!!
As always, this was so much fun to watch! The Stand is one of Stephen King's older works, so I'll be reading it soon (hopefully!), and I'm even more excited now!
Thank you!! Stoked you’re going to read it!!
Loved it, glad you enjoyed it a lot!!! Although I’m not sure with the pages.
How on earth do you stay up to read that much? I would pass out lol. So glad you’re reading King!
The book was so good it compelled me to stay up as much as humanly possible!
Haha I love how theres a nice cozy looking bed in frame but you chose to sit on the floor next to it to read for a good bit of the video 😅 Enjoyed hearing your thoughts!
Gotta stay awake, know what I mean😉

I read The Stand over 20 years ago and don’t remember a thing 😅 EXCEPT that it was the most epic good vs evil battle, I got really emotional, and it was the most amazing book I’d ever read.
Did you know it was made into a miniseries?
I have watched the miniseries they made of it from 1994! That was years ago, and it was my only context into what the book was about!
You take nice care of your paperbacks, but how do you do it?
I treat them like infants!😂 I pick them up, put them down, handle them with such a light touch.
