@Laker34 everything in the life is fucking personal and depends by perspective, feelings, beliefs, desires, discoveries ecc so every act as critic as "read before to making bla bla bla" is useless and before make change the people around u, just see into urself why u need to criticize what u dont like :) :) :) :) :) we should learn to share our point of view, and if samething is different we should learn to accept it. that's it.
Although I like a few of the books on your list, I don't think they should be in the top five, and I'm saying this from a writer's perspective. Sentence structure, flow, style: these are all factors, and the writers in some of your top five aren't excellent in one, many or all of those areas. Because I'm competitive, my top five list:
I'm not saying you're not right, but let's just say that this list is highly unlikely to remain unchanged if we ask you to write it again in 20 years.
This list strikes me as a list for people who seek light entertainment from a book, i don't subscribe to any of the novels mentioned but hey im probably in the minority.
Carl Jungs "Man and his Symbols" written specifically before he died to introduce his revolutionary ideas, pertaining to human psychology, to a wide audience should be a must read for anyone looking for deeper understanding of themselves.
I've read one a many books, but no matter where I go I cannot find a book I read in the sixth grade titled "The Stone Gryphon" I am a teen now and I'm not sure if that's the exact title, but it's about a girl who finds a stone gryphon statue on her roof that comes alive at night. If any one knows where I can find it, I will love you for all time <3 :)
I love Philip Pullman, naww it was so sad. You should read Diana Gabaldon and Jean M Untinen Auel and there's so many books we don't have time for all of them :(
...in my opinion Fight Club is Chuck's worst book. All of his stuff is great, but it's my least favorite. Invisible Monsters is probably his best, but I also like Rant, Haunted, and Lullaby quite a bit.
@TheHumanFiction nah man i'm still kicking just been working in homebase keepig a low profile, its boring but its money at the end of the day you know it anit easy being a single parent and someone needs to put bread, fish and wine on the table for lil jesus he anit gonna do it him self is he?? who said i was dead? bit rude if you ask me, anyway gotta go eastenders is starting and i can't bare to miss a single one, peace and love and all that ...in a bit.
@ferriswheelablaze hello there you know i had a book once, lovely and sqaure it was anyway the problem is i fucked it too much and the pages turned to mush, so i was wondering how do you manage to over come this problem??
I love fight club and it is my favorite movie, however, it is not my favorite chuck palahniuk book. I do love all of his books, but my favorite would have to be survivor, If you haven't read it, it is a really good read. Also, fun fact, panic at the disco used a quote from survivor as a song title, the only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage.
@ferriswheelablaze WHY? If you like Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, and Joseph Heller F. Scott would be perfect for you! You have a great taste in books.
Have you read “Discover the Gift?” I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, and I also hear they made a movie about it. BTW this list is a great list of books. I can’t wait to see your next video!
I don't know why, but you sort of remind me of Molly Ringwald back in the 80's. No idea why. First video I see of you, and I'm off to check out more :D
pretty good list, Palahniuk is my favorite author. My first Palahniuk book was Fight Club and i thought it would never be topped either, but then i read Invisible Monsters and they are pretty neck and neck, if you havent read check it out. And also i read above that you're reading the stranger by Camus, that was another one of my favorite books, good reads. Keep posting book videos please
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT HAVING TWILIGHT OR HARRY POTTER ON THE LIST. It's like everyone has heard of those two books. I have been looking for a book to read and have gone through at-least 50 my top books videos on YT. The Cats cradle sound very interesting.
when it comes to kurt vonnegut its gotta be breakfast of champions + a greatest book list without catcher in the rye is not a list of great books at all
hey i think u r a great selector when it comes to deal with books. i finish reading cats cradle, its an awesome book. im goin to read the rest of ur top five, tnx alot for this video.
@ferriswheelablaze Catcher in the Rye is either a love it or hate it book. I for one loved it, but I understand that it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
@godsonnasar FUCK CATCHER IN THE RYE CAN'T STAND THAT STUPID SPOILT BRAT HE SHOULD HAVE DIED AT THE END SORRY IF I OFFEND ANYONE BUT GOT FORCED TO COVER IT FOR GCSE AND I IT SUCKED
Good books, read em all. I recently read a three book series by Suzanne Collins. I believe it is being turned into a movie, but never the less, it is a great story that makes you hunger for more. No its not a pun.The three books go as listed, you should at least take a chance to read the first one, if you get pulled in like i do then im sure you will continue on with the story like i did
1. The Hunger Games
2.Catching Fire
3. Mockingjay
Great books that i hope you take a chance to read.
the hunger games sucks!!!!!!!!! every single one of them r terrible! read a true book like the giver or to kill a mockingjay or evn crank the series is like books or something but read something diffrent those r terrible
hey, do me a BJ. You are so confident in what you are saying that I really wanna to test your confidence in real deal. I think you will do good, your mouth opens very wise every time. And never try to measure the world with your awkward slutty dark perception. It is just hilarious.
Best male voice novel: The Life Before Us - Romain Gary (Aka Emile Ajar)
Both translated from french.
Also worth learning french for: les particules élémentaires, l'avalée des avalées, l'écume des jours and everything Albert Camus wrote (including his chronicles as a journalist - most talented and interesting writer I ever came across).
@DragAmiot I've taken three years of french actually, and studied in Paris last summer. I'm working on reading L'Etranger and L'existentialisme est une humanisme. (I don't know how to put the accents in! ah!)
his dark materiels, one of my favourite series of books ever! cant wait fot the Book of Dust to finally come out....pullmans had that one in the lab for years
below the final installment of harry potter, and the song of fire and ice series as well. Great job on camera by the way, its not easy to present such a strong opinion on an extremely arguable topic such as this.
I have read all the books on that list except for catch 22, judging by these specific choices it would seem we are attracted to different qualities in novels. However much i enjoy the in the moment action packed dan brown-esque books, the ones i find i get truly enraptured by are books that play upon fantasy and develop characters over a longer period of time, allowing you to sort of "grow up" with the character. For those reasons i would put the amber spyglass atop your list, but also (cont'd)
I really like your personality! And those book sound wonderful, i really am not into those vampire books, or whatevea, like an other NORMAL teen my age. Well who said I was normal. :)
@snackbox1989 The Lost Symbol was pretty good, though i felt like i could see the ending coming a mile away. The problem with Dan Brown is that if you've read one of his books, you've read all of his books. Fun read, but its sort of disappointing when you're guessing who the antagonist is throughout the book only to be right in the end.
You sound over confident, arrogant and self centered. I kinda like it. You sound like you'd have a dark sense of humor... which is besides the point.
Will definitely consider reading these books... except for Catch 22 because i hate war related, well, anything. Kind of sad since it's your number one pick but oh well :/
I think you should read/ watch Death Note. You might like it. It's an anime and a manga but don't judge because it really is incredibly clever.
You can't even place things in an order because they are so different and unique on their own! But this is too much 90's stuff no middle age stuff. But the BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE. Mostly the New Testament is some of the best knowledge ever written! Without it half of literature wouldn't be created. So do testify about 5 billion people!
Palanuik books are all the same, most writers have a recognisable style, but they gnerally mature or try different things. All Palanuik books read exactly the same, they contain the same elements and are written the appeal to the exact same audience.
@otherjr I've definately met some of those Fight Club fans with the Che shirts, who read Pitchfork and try to listen to the most obscure music just to fit in with all the people who don't fit in.. but with that aside I love Fight Club (the book and movie), and I don't fit that alternative stereotype.. and I'm not the only one.
Everyone I know who 'just loves' Palanuik dresses and thinks the same. These are the people who wear Che T Shirts, dye their hair, and undulge in a false liberalism they rarely follow through on. Basically the sort of people who try and be alternative by following what society says is alternative. They try and read Nietzsche and Satre, likely to talk about The Catcher in the Rye a lot, they choose their reading material like they pick their clothes: What suits my alternative image?
I dont know, the way I see it Fight Club, and usually the people the talk about how great it is, are really just an example of what the book is supposedly attacking. You can talk about a 'scathing diatribe against commercialism' all you want, but really those Palanhuik books just seem to be targetting a demographic and exploiting it more than doing or saying anything original. Its all stupid twists, nihalism, bland pseudo intellectual philosophy about 'how fucked up the world is.'
I hope that you keep a copy of this video so that you might watch it twenty or thirty years from now. If you read widely and carefully, John Irving, Chuck Palahniuk, etc. might not make it in the top 500 books you'll ever read. There's a lot more out there than what's been mass-marketed to American audiences in the short time of your life.

Modern French Litterature:
Best female voice novel: Whore - Nelly Arcan
Best male voice novel: The Life Before Us - Romain Gary (Aka Emile Ajar)
Both translated from french.
Also worth learning french for: les particules élémentaires, l'avalée des avalées, l'écume des jours and everything Albert Camus wrote (including his chronicles as a journalist - most talented and interesting writer I ever came across).

@DragAmiot I've taken three years of french actually, and studied in Paris last summer. I'm working on reading L'Etranger and L'existentialisme est une humanisme. (I don't know how to put the accents in! ah!)

below the final installment of harry potter, and the song of fire and ice series as well. Great job on camera by the way, its not easy to present such a strong opinion on an extremely arguable topic such as this.

I have read all the books on that list except for catch 22, judging by these specific choices it would seem we are attracted to different qualities in novels. However much i enjoy the in the moment action packed dan brown-esque books, the ones i find i get truly enraptured by are books that play upon fantasy and develop characters over a longer period of time, allowing you to sort of "grow up" with the character. For those reasons i would put the amber spyglass atop your list, but also (cont'd)

@snackbox1989 The Lost Symbol was pretty good, though i felt like i could see the ending coming a mile away. The problem with Dan Brown is that if you've read one of his books, you've read all of his books. Fun read, but its sort of disappointing when you're guessing who the antagonist is throughout the book only to be right in the end.

"all the characters are insane" that's the best way in reviewing catch-22.
i have it on # 4 or 3 though. You should try some of Haruki Murakami's works or Carlos Ruiz Zafon's.

You sound over confident, arrogant and self centered. I kinda like it. You sound like you'd have a dark sense of humor... which is besides the point.
Will definitely consider reading these books... except for Catch 22 because i hate war related, well, anything. Kind of sad since it's your number one pick but oh well :/
I think you should read/ watch Death Note. You might like it. It's an anime and a manga but don't judge because it really is incredibly clever.

You can't even place things in an order because they are so different and unique on their own! But this is too much 90's stuff no middle age stuff. But the BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE, BIBLE. Mostly the New Testament is some of the best knowledge ever written! Without it half of literature wouldn't be created. So do testify about 5 billion people!

4: grapes of wrath (Steinbeck)
3: the book theif (Marcus zusak)
2: the catcher in the rye (j d salinger)
1: to kill a mockingbird (harper lee)
There are many other thought provoking even inspirational books but these are the 5 that speak to me the most

Palanuik books are all the same, most writers have a recognisable style, but they gnerally mature or try different things. All Palanuik books read exactly the same, they contain the same elements and are written the appeal to the exact same audience.

@otherjr I've definately met some of those Fight Club fans with the Che shirts, who read Pitchfork and try to listen to the most obscure music just to fit in with all the people who don't fit in.. but with that aside I love Fight Club (the book and movie), and I don't fit that alternative stereotype.. and I'm not the only one.
lemmonorange68 1 year ago
Everyone I know who 'just loves' Palanuik dresses and thinks the same. These are the people who wear Che T Shirts, dye their hair, and undulge in a false liberalism they rarely follow through on. Basically the sort of people who try and be alternative by following what society says is alternative. They try and read Nietzsche and Satre, likely to talk about The Catcher in the Rye a lot, they choose their reading material like they pick their clothes: What suits my alternative image?
otherjr 1 year ago
I dont know, the way I see it Fight Club, and usually the people the talk about how great it is, are really just an example of what the book is supposedly attacking. You can talk about a 'scathing diatribe against commercialism' all you want, but really those Palanhuik books just seem to be targetting a demographic and exploiting it more than doing or saying anything original. Its all stupid twists, nihalism, bland pseudo intellectual philosophy about 'how fucked up the world is.'

I hope that you keep a copy of this video so that you might watch it twenty or thirty years from now. If you read widely and carefully, John Irving, Chuck Palahniuk, etc. might not make it in the top 500 books you'll ever read. There's a lot more out there than what's been mass-marketed to American audiences in the short time of your life.
