I’m glad you’re going to keep making videos. I wait all week for this update. Haroun and the sea of stories - Salman Rushdie. Is my book of the year. He wrote it for his son and you can feel the love he put into it.
The Holdovers is great! Loved how they made it look and feel like an 80s/90s movie. I think my favorite has to be Christmas Vacation, but it’s hard not to be when I’m in the Chicago area-even though Home Alone was also shot in the burbs of Chicago.
My favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone, Elf and Christmas Vacation. And the old animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Also, in our family we give lists of things we’d like for Christmas. We put more things on the list than we will get. That way we will be surprised since we don’t know what will be picked. Works wonders
Hey Nick, based on the music interests you've shared, can I recommend Where Are Your Boys Tonight? It came out last year & has an interesting format where the author did a bunch of interviews with people from the scene in the late 90s-early 00s and chops them up to form a narrative. I loved it and sounds like it might appeal. Happy Holidays!
Demon Copperhead was inspired by charles Dickens novel David Copperfield. You do not have to have read David Copperfield to enjoy Demon Copperhead. There are characters in Kingsolver's book that call to mind characters in David Copperfield. Enjoy Demon Copperhead. It's sad at times but I suspect you will like it 😊
Definitely. Read it first in 1990 and it changed my entire perspective on SF. Quickly followed by Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Early Gibson is perfection.
I liked The Holdovers last year too. My favorite Christmas movie is Office Christmas Party. For the last several years my husband and I have had a tradition of watching it every Christmas morning in bed before the kids wake up and we start the family holiday stuff (it's very much NOT a watch-with-your-kids movie!). Coincidentally, Da'Vine Joy Randolph is in both of these movies - I love her and think she does a great job in both.
Fav movies: Home alone 1 and 2, Arthur Christmas, the Grinch( both animated), elf, rise of the guardians, Muppets Christmas carol, and Santa Claus. My favorite Christmas book is The Christmasaurus.
I really enjoyed the xmas movie Nutcrackers with Ben Stiller, it has a little bit of a similar vibe to Holdovers but slightly younger/zanier kids on a farm.
I read my penguin classics. I guess I don’t understand the concept of purchasing a penguin classic book but not reading. My question is what do you do with a Penguin classic book if you don’t read it? I know in my experience reading Dracula and Frankenstein penguin classics that ink of cover came off from reading. I guess I’m just confused on what to do with them if you don’t read em’.
The Holdovers is so good. Feel like it will become a Christmas classic.
My favorite Christmas movies: Krampus, The Santa Clause, and Christmas Again.
Jingle All The Way is my favorite Christmas movie. Loved it as a kid, same now.
Why did I record this in 4K
Because the voices told you to
looks great! lol
Demon copperhead is the best book of the past 2 years
Enjoy!!
As you should
Demon Copperhead is a good book. Barbara is feisty AF in that book, even funny at times.
My weekly reminder for you to read The Shadow of the wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Diehard is the best Christmas movie
Barbara Kingslayer would be a cool name.😆
The Holdovers was so fantastic!!!!
I love the holdovers! You should check out “Black Christmas” Christmas slasher from the 70s
I’m glad you’re going to keep making videos. I wait all week for this update.

Halfway through Demon Copperhead, and it’s so good! I grew up in the 90s with friends in similar situations so it hits really close to home.
The Holdovers is great! Loved how they made it look and feel like an 80s/90s movie.
I think my favorite has to be Christmas Vacation, but it’s hard not to be when I’m in the Chicago area-even though Home Alone was also shot in the burbs of Chicago.
My favourite christmas movie is the holiday, and love actually and Jim careys the grinch.
i got my calculus exam in 3 hours, but who cares i am gonna watch this video
The Holdovers is so good. Great shout there!
I just started Mistborn a few days ago, im not a patron YET but im DEF going to be following along. super excited.
I'm pretty sure Demon Copperhead is a retelling of David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
Thank you so much for your video! Get well soon! ❤ Merry Christmas!

Demon Copperhead was great. Not an easy read but so so good. Hope you enjoy it . Happy Christmas 🎄
You’re going to love Demon Copperhead. Probs my #1 book of the year.
Loved The Holdovers!❤
I watch Elf every year but Klaus on Netflix is also amazing

Neuromancer will light your brain on fire! 👍🏼❤️

I just read Mistborn, loved it! Almost done with the second book now
Have you read Norwegian Wood? I finished it today, and now I don't know what to do with myself! It'll make you feel things for sure.

Demon Copperhead is a masterpiece, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I hope you are as amazed by Demon Copperhead as I was. - Happy Holidays!

2025 would be a great year for you to finally read Billy Summers by Stephen King.
The poisonwood bible is one of my favourite books I didn’t want it to end it should of had a sequel
Do we really need to keep on counting weeks? 😛 Just asking
At least until I hit 1 year ;)
Ive commented before that you should read demon copperhead
Why WOULDN'T you record this in 4k?
Honestly, I find that new cover for The Shining pretty ugly. Think I prefer the mass market Anchor Books version I have.
Did not like Demon Copperhead, everyone liked it but it wasn’t for me, good luck.
Loved Holdovers, but my faves are Elf and White Christmas (Sisters, Sisters by Danny Kay and Bing Crosby in drag!).
Same!!!!! "Sisters! Sisters! There were never such devoted Sisters!" Every time he hits him with the fan and he jumps, I laugh so hard.
@MokeleMbembeLives my sister and I loved it so much we gave each other videotapes (yes, VHS) for Christmas one year.
Why don’t you always?
Hey Nick, why aren't you ever looking directly into the lens?
Was Butcher's Crossing one of the books you couldn't get into? Reading it now and can't wait for your thoughts
You should watch 8 Bit Christmas. One of my favs for sure
Just gotta say, it's odd hearing you actually say Stoner.
@@W3RMH4T hahaha I have given up on trying to be sneaky about it
@@booksaresick✊️
When do you plan on reading some more Dostoevsky?
🙄
As soon as I figure out a way to double the amount of time I have in a day ;) haha
You should read a month in the country to get out of your slump. Demon copperhead put me in a slump so…
Based on your last response, week 1 of me asking you to read Red Rising until you actually read it!🫡
