  • Man, I hate reading to be honest, lol. But, that book Brave Story seems awesome... Im 15 so my next reading project for my english class is gonna be on that book!

  • hey steph i dont know if you like books tht have a type of magic in them but you might like this book called witch and wizard bye james patterson there are 3 books in the series you might look it up and try it out it is really good it is nothing like harry potter if you have read those im not being a harry hater but i tink witch and wizard is better

  • thank you so much for this video. you helped me with my new years resolution on reading more books and helped me discover books i never thought were real. thank you!!!

  • please review the mario book!!!!

  • When you doing the ps3 stereo headset review?

    BTW I love your videos thanks!!!

  • Steph...I know your love for the San Francisco 49'ers, and I'm a New Orleans fan to death...so...UNSUBSCRIBE!...LO­L XD

  • @christianaso90 You must have the wrong Steph. I don't like the 49'ers. Not even the slightest.

  • @Safechildrentips i read all those

  • haha i downloaded the sample of the mario book on my ipod so i could say i was reading in class and play games but it turned out being good

  • You should get the book (1001 Video Games you should play before you die), I know it's not a book book, but you should still check it out.

  • "wimpy kid" series Great book

  • @0O0G4MER0O0 Lol. My son loves those books. I've seen the movies...hilarious.

  • Well, Steph I really like the Bone series (graphic novel). They are really good you should try them out.

  • @Safechildrentips That's one I want to eventually check out. Seems really cool.

  • @StephsTooDef Yes,they are a really funny graphic novel for kids and adults! If you do get the a book of the series can you do a review?

  • Great video, wish there was more "book" content on YouTube! :)

  • I would like to read more stuff especially if it is video game related! Brave Story sounds interesting and might have to check it out. Love the cover!

  • Read "Invisible Man"

  • Hey Steph. I saw a video where you talked a bit about the book 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I picked it up because you made it seem epic and so far, I'm 50 pages in and it's really interesting. Did you complete it yet? P.S. I REALLY HOPE AL DOESN'T DIE :( I know he's likely to because of the cancer but holy crap I would get so pissed.

  • I recommend the Hunger games!!

  • @NintendoGirl7 I Totally Agree

  • Hey Steph, Let me recommend you The Hunger Games Trilogy. I finished the 1st book and it was really good. Could not put it down! I'm half way on the 2nd book and it's good not as good as the 1st but is a good read. Game related I read some Gears of War books a while because I wanted to learn more about the story. Also the book of Parasite Eve is ver interesting.

  • @StephsTooDef Update: Just bought one! :)

  • I didn't know there was a "Bioshock" novel either, @StephsTooDef !! Awesome. I'm so into the game that I've played it for both consoles. Love that game and I'm sure I'll now look for the book. Very nice vid!!

  • Along a similar line, have you played a new game called Katawa Shoujo, which was just released for PC? It's free!

  • Cool video. I just today got "Reality is Broken" by Jane McGonigal. The book are about what we could learn from games and how to become better persons. And eventually save the world! ;) I think it going to be real interesting to read.

    If it sounds interesting to you to check out a few of videos with Jane McGonigal hear on youtube!

  • Have you showed your blu ray collection?

  • I'm with you on not being a big fan of fantasy, but there is one book series that captivated me from the moment I started reading it. It's called the Sword Of Truth seires. The first novel is called the Wizards First Rule. The way that the author Terry Goodkind tells the story, makes it different than any other fantasy. Another good book to read is the Electric Curch by Jeff Sommers. It's a sci-fi, cyberpunk noir told from the first person. It's very dark and gritty but very rewarding.

  • I probably never would buy those novels simply because I see them as a cash grab by the developers/publishers. I'm fine with spinoff games, but books.. not my thing. So far the only books I have read or at last bought over the past years were Half Life 2:Rising the bar.. (which was a good read since I love the series) and a handful or comics which I haven't even read. The latest book I bought was "The Art of producing games" which talks about the last generations. So far its not very good. :/

  • A book ? Is that some sort of animal ...whats a book

  • Wow i never knew of a lot of these! Thanks for sharing! Have you read/looked through the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die? Its a really interesting book to read and has some nice colorful shots from the games too! cool resource for any gamer! :)

  • u should make a gaming setup vid 2012

    

  • Read the hunger games trilogy the books are really good!

  • wow i might actually try read brave story and phoenix wright they look good

  • Non game-related books I would recommend the the New Flesh Trilogy by Mira Grant which starts with Feed. Gaming wise there is the Dead Space prequel, Dead Space Martyr which is set hundreds of years before the events of the first game and deal with Altman, the necromorphs and the Marker. Also enjoyed Andrzej Sapkowski series of novel on which The Witcher games are based. Finally the Resistance books by William C. Dietz which fill the gaps between Resistance FoM, 2 and 3 quite nicely.

  • if you like assassin creed 2 definetley get ac: renaissance which is like playing through the game and has two more book in the series

  • Have a ton of suggestions for you Steph! Assassin's Creed, Fable, Alan Wake, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Dragon Age have great novels out there. I have the AC, Fable, Alan Wake and Uncharted novels, let me know if you want more details.

  • I haven't read all that many industry related books, but because I study design I've read a shitload of game design books. So if anyone is interested in design I recommend Jesse Schell's The Art of Game Design - Book of Lenses and Scott Rogers "Level up!".

    I've started reading more books recently, especially when I bought the iPad. eBooks are so convenient. I have to buy them from the US amazon and the dollar is a laugh compared to euro so normally I pay like 3 euros for a good read :D

  • Interested on your opinion of the Nintendo book, reading Steve jobs right now might have to pick that up

  • I would love to see little mini reviews of these once you read them. I love to read also & I highly recommend the ICO book it is a great read especially if you love the game as much as I do.

  • Read the Inheritence series!

  • Awesome idea for a video, Steph! I really enjoyed this. :)

  • I recommend "Revolutionaries At Sony" which is the complete story of Sony Computer Entertainment's origin, along with the development and conquest behind the PS1

    For the Microsoft side, I recommend "Opening the Xbox" by Dean Takahashi. It was written in the early 2000s, but you'll be able to draw connections between the Microsoft's (failed) mission of the original Xbox, and how much they are succeeding in that mission today with Xbox 360.

    Also recommend "Extra Lives" by Tom Bissell.

  • Books What are those???

  • @reemCGR Lol.

  • Awesome you should make a vud of your digital game collections for each console

  • @kmouton1456 Cool idea. Might get around to it one of these days. Thanks.

  • Nice steph! i'm starting to collect manga and didn't know there was a Pheonix Wright manga i'm going to check that out soon and hopefully get my hands on the zelda manga's!

  • You can download and print out, and save it to read, the Zelda mini series from Nintendo Power Magazine. Same for some of their other series.

    I also enjoyed the Nintendo Adventure games, which you can find two or three for download. The others are still out there for sale online and in used book stores, I like HBP marketplace.

    While I'm into the Zelda mangas and Phoenix Wright, I also like Blue Wizard Must Die, the only poetry book dedicated to older games.

  • HUNGER GAMES TRIOLOGY!!! :D

  • steph you need to check out stephan kings new book: 11/22/63. and if you are into some classics/gothic/mysterious go for the book rebecca by daphne de maurier

  • @bigbucks451 I got 11/22/63 for Christmas. I finished reading it last week. OMG....what a great book! I was into it the entire 800+ pages.

  • @StephsTooDef I've heard about 11/22/63. Never been a fan of Stephen King, but this novel really look's inticing to me. I think I'll pick it up when I have some extra dough.

  • @StephsTooDef i know right! it was an amazing book!! :D

  • please do a review of that mario book quickly because i here it wont be in stores for a very long time

  • @MultiSunflame I don't know how quick it will be but I do plan on doing a review for this book.

  • great video, try the chaos walking trilogy :)

  • @awsm0up Thanks! I'll check it out.

  • hunger games series :)

  • @thecollegekidd1 I'm reading the first book now!

  • Try the Inheritance series (Eragon, Eldest, etc.) Might not be your cup of tea, but amazing fantasy series!

  • i recommend Series of Unfortunate Events

  • i alwats wanted to get my hands on a resident evil book i think it would be very interesting

  • Great selection of books!!! I got to get my hands on that Rapture book, good looking. I ordered 2 Bio Shock sound tracks, didn't get a chance to give them a listen being that they just came in the mail yesterday. Great vid Steph"

  • I saw volume 3 of Phoenix Wright and nearly bought it! I do miss reading too. After an 8-10 hr workday I usually sleep or try to relax sadly it's been w/o a book.

    Real nice video Steph hopefully it'll encourage us all to read even if it's just a chapter or 2 here and there!

  • WHAT!?! I had NO idea there was a Bioshock book. I need to get on that asap. Thanks for the awesome recommendations, Steph. A nice change of pace from the usual video game videos by showing us video game related books! :) Awesome stuff.

    The Mario game sounds very interesting as well. Be sure to keep us in the loop via Twitter how each book is :)

  • Hunger Games! I read it over Christmas break. It was so good I'm reading Catching Fire right. You should definitely read it, it was so good I can't wait to see the movie.

  • Song of Ice and Fire? there the game of thrones books :)

  • Comment removed

  • I like how you keep the sticker on your monitor. Haha :)

  • @Pokeyph Lol. Never noticed it.

  • I recommend Oryx and Crake.

    it takes place in the future where Science is above all

    at the moment I am reading the Hunger Games and so far I am enjoying it

  • I was about to recommend Rapture by John Shirley but you already have it! lol, LOVED that book, it added fantastic detail to Ken Levine's world of Rapture... in fact, it helped me understand the story better (immediately after reading it, I played through the first Bioshock again on survivor mode...Yes, I was THAT inspired! :) )

    If you want a slightly creepy, interesting, but non-related video game book, I'd suggest the "Uninvited" by Tim Wynne-Jones.

  • Read The Sirens of Titian, and Slaughterhouse Five amazing books right there

  • If you are looking for an awesome book, check out "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. Amazing novel based on a future world centered around a fictional digital world based on video game, music, and culture from the 80's to early 90's.

  • I've read two books in the past ten year, but in my defense, one actually had two stories. :P Parasite Eve, what the game is based on, and Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass. Say what you will about a big 19 year old guy reading Alice in Wonderland, but it's fun to read. XD

    Steph, please do more of these videos. I'm interested in Brave Story now.

  • @ShyBoy6D9 I'm a 35 years old male, a writer, a comics artist, a Muslim Arab, and Alice in Wonderland is not only MY favorite book, but it is also the favorite for many of my relatives and friends!! =)

    Steph, I'm getting all these books, thanks!

  • @Rewayah Haha, good to know! They really are excellent stories!

  • @ShyBoy6D9 Indeed!!! :D

  • My favorite video game novels were "Ico Castle in the Mist" and "Uncharted The Fourth Labrynth" I recomend you check them both out since you are a fan of both of those series!

  • @gothicgamer0990 Lol. Oh no....not the arrow in the knee!.

    Same thing happened to me but I really wanted to get back to reading a little something something.

  • Try out some Starcraft books, I got like 5-6 and love em. Also the Warcraft ( NOT WOW) novels kick ass! And Gears of war! The gaming books are more underrated than any game :P

  • Did you finish the Bioshock book ? Do you recommend it ? please let me know I will appreciate.

  • Steph you GOTTA read The Hunger Games. It's an amazing book, and the sequels aren't half bad ;) Oh, and you also need to check out The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Great read :)

  • your sexy

  • I'll stick to audio books lol jk

  • @ProjectReality64 Lol. There's nothing wrong with that. My husband goes the audiobook route too.

  • The autobiography of Malcolm x

  • @anydaynow11 One of my favorites. I first read it in high school and again as an adult.

  • I recommend the Harry Potter series <3!!

    

  • @ShayminRulz I've read them all!

  • @ShayminRulz whats that

  • Great video Steph,yeah i have to be in the mood and depending on the subject to really read alot of books.I like greek mythology type of books...

  • Im planning on being an author after college, mainly writing fantasy type stories with fantasy themes in the modern day.

  • @AshXXMayftw That's awesome. I wish you luck.

  • Great stuff, I got the Phoneix Wright mangos too, but mine have different covers than yours for some reason.

  • @TheLoadingScreenz Do you have the older ones from the first series? I have one that came out around '08/09. These are different. Basically a whole new series.

  • @StephsTooDef Yeah I did get them around the time of their release. That would explain it.

  • Great stuff, I got the

  • Hey Steph, great video as always. I've been wanting to get into the Phoenix Wright video games for quite some time now, and since I'm going to start reading the manga soon, I figured now was the best time. What game do you recommend I start off with?

  • @shinjanaytor I hope you enjoy the series. Start with the first one and play them in order.

  • Steph, you NEED to read the Hunger Games Series! It is soooooooooo good! Thumbs up if you agree!

  • @MuffinGhost My son and I are reading the first book together. I went ahead and bought all 3 books for my Kindle since they were so cheap.

  • That was awesome Steph! I'll definitely have too check out those novels (:

    There's also a novel franchise for Halo by William C. Dietz you have too read if you're into that, they're awesome!

  • @TheGamerz01 I've heard people really get into the Halo novels. I'm not really a fan of the series so I'm not quite sure how I would end up liking them.

  • awesome i love reading too it just kepps your mind out of stuff just you and the book anyway i heard on twitter since i follow you that you got the black 3ds is it better than the blue one plz answer im buying one in 3 days and i need to know what color is the best ANYWAY AWESOME VIDEO :D

  • @yoyorocks5674 They are the same. I just wanted the Zelda one since I love the series.

  • Love your videos, I am reading a videogame related novel called Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. You should check it out it is awesome.

  • @ascullydotcom That's awesome. I recently heard about it and have it on my Kindle Wishlist. I'll download it once I finish a couple more books. How is the story?

  • @StephsTooDef You would love it the story is insane, the book literally refrences every videogame (in great detail on occassion) and TV show from the 80's until present day. It's set in the future (2045) where the 1980's have made a comeback and everyone lives in a virtual world called the OASIS. Let me know what you think when you get round to reading it :)

  • That's one of the amazing things about being a nerd. Hell yeah, we can play games, AND we can read. Oh yeah. and we enjoy it. :D

  • @KiraismyLord Lol. That is the truth.

  • You make a good point
