[sincerelyjessy]

The Catcher in The Rye is really good, and so is perks of being a wallflower! I hated speak, though.

[HoldenRyecatcher]

THANK YOU for putting The catcher In The Rye on your list, is clearly my all time favorite book, White Oleander and Speak are really good too

[itscooltobeyou]

ive read choke and loved it, so i bought haunted and snuff, havent read them yet! but he has a really great style.

[muscchick24]

I saw part of the movie "Speak". It was really good. :) Aaaand....when I heard about "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" from a different person, I looked for it in the High School library...and..they did. not. have it! I was kinda saddened. But, I guess now I'll have to try to find it at Barnes & Noble or Borders or something.

[loveglovexd]

I respect you alot =)

[Lesaphine]

Oh my gosh!  I love your list!

[CraziekatieM]

It always gives me a great pleasure when I find a fellow Chuck Palahniuk fan! LOVE YOU!

[HybridizeProductions]

#1, yes, CLASSIC.

[TangerineVampire]

I love love love book lists! :D I've read a couple of the books on that list, and I loved both. I should also read more Palahniuk..

[StopThatSquirrel]

so I was trying to figure out some books I wanted to buy this summer and I was like hmmm didn't stevie make a top ten books video? haha. thanks for your help :D

[pzerozero0]

OMG. I read "The curious Incident Of The Dog In the Night Time"! IT'S AWESOME! READ IT NAO!

[xKevinnn]

omg i read guts!.

disturbing.

[pyleofgracie]

Oh, my God, Stevie, I love you to death for numbers one and three. Speak is like my favorite book ever, and I actually read The Perks of Being a Wallflower because of that other video, and I loved it! I've also read numer 5, and I'm going to go buy all the other ones you named. :)

[teacherspet1229]

The Perks of being a Wallflower is AMAZING!!! :D

[tiesarefun]

lmfao @ the synopsis's of some of those

[Makapuno182]

i read perks of being a wallflower it wasn't the best but i really liked the book. i let my friend read and she loved it too

[chocobunny257]

this wasn't boring stevie! :D it's actually helpful because i need books to read that aren't boring. so YAY thank you!

[Meniali]

This was not boring! I loved it, some I have read but I'm going to reference back to this vid so I don't forget your other recommendations :)

[cezzie901]

The 'Guts' story is awful, isn't it? haha

[VictorianStraightUp]

I love Chuck Palaniuk!!

Perks of Being a Wallflower is great, too!

[krazyanju6300]

you should read q+a which is what slumdog millionaire is based off of. its really good.

[hXbradshaw]

books are the BEST thigns to do for top ten! I could do freaking top 100, NEVER apologize for being a book nerd ;) The only ones I haven't read are the Chuck Palainiuk, although my sister has been trying to get me to read him for forever. Its not that I don't want to...I actually don't have a good reason, I have no idea why I haven't read him, so I'm going to my library tomorrow I swear!

[luccaaaa]

thank you! book recommendations are always a good thing.

[channelkate]

i like how in invisible monsters her life is turned 'upside down' and she was once beautiful then ugly, and you fli[p the book upside down and the girl on the front becomes an ugly woman :) its clever

[christinabyrnes]

i LOVE that book "speak". not like. LOVE. haha. you're not alone...

i remember my friend being assigned to read it in school, andddd i would take it from her, and read it because i was so into it.

they made a movie, kristin stewart actually played the girl and she did a pretty wicked job. did you see it?

[c1nico]

I forgot! Marshmallow means Gay now. 5 Awesome Marshmallows!

[c1nico]

Thanks for the recommendations. No Coelho, huh?

Loved Catcher In the Rye, but it wasn't depressing. It's what he says in the end that changes the whole story around.

[KHALON831]

Have you read his newer book Rant?

[Anaprince]

Oh My Bob! The Perks of Being a Teenage Wallflower is my all time favorite book ever! I know Im behind the times on your guy's videos but yeah, amazing book. "Are you thirsty?" "uh huh" "What do you want to drink?" "Milkshake." "Are you hungry?" "uh huh" "What do you want to eat?" "Milkshake." ROFL I know Im insane...whatev.

[amandafaerie]

aahhh I was going to write a comment half way through the video asking about Perks, and when you said number one I was like GASP. haha

[zwappp]

I LOVED Speak. I haven't read, like, any of the others. But I've seen people with them at school. Maybe I'll check 'em out! (:

[Klarkaan]

I love The perks of being a wallflower!

We had to read it for english class and I was like the only one in my class who liked it..

[rawrritsdaniella]

chuck palahniuk is an amazing author.

i love his book lullaby!

ahh its amazing.

and im currently reading diary from him.

my best friend julia is actually reading invisible monster.

i have like 7 other buck palahniuk on my to read list <3

[YOitsNat]

Invisible monsters is one of the best books ever. The ending just made my jaw drop (XD)

[thatwhiteboysgotsoul]

Stevie I like you but you really don't read a wide variety of books, do you?

[XoCarylMaryOx]

If you're ever looking for a good book try anything by Jodi Picoult. She is sooo amazing. Her books draw you in. I can read a book by her in a day. The only thing...they're REALLY sad. If you want a suggestion as to what one to start with I would say either Ninteen Minutes (about a school shooting) or the Pact (about a suicide pact). Those are probably on my top.

[firefrenzie926]

Bookworms are the best! no faults for doing a top ten book list!

[karmasreality27]

I love David Sedaris. He's hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing through most of the essays in Naked and When You Are Engulfed In Flames. I want to go check out those other books now that you've mentioned. Thanks!

[dbzmiri]

wow I just read guts.... that was fucked up

I always used to have a fear of getting my hair caught in the pool pump lol

[ponyningning]

i love speak. :)

[AJKLOPOTOSKI]

I'm reading Haunted right now and it's legit disgustingggg, but I love it!

My next read is Invisible Monsters and Diary :)

[Leonminustheardo]

#7 - One of my favourites!!!

[cbizk1t]

CHUCK PALAHNIUK. IS MY LIFE. AHHHHH. and guts omgggg so gross. especially the one where the kid jacks off the way his brother told him to.... bleeeeeeh

[PurpleDog06]

lol I shouldn't have watched this video - a new book list is the last thing I need :p My school just got a shipment of 300 new books today, and a large number of them are fiction... I specifically asked for a bunch of LGBT fiction too, so now I have tons of books I need to read before I graduate in June!

[CrackedAndFrayed]

You are WONDERFUL. Chuck Palahniuk is THE greatest author of all time.

[xxxEmoxDuckxLurvxxx]

i loved snuff and white oleander :]

[nerdra]

Oh my God, Speak was amazing! I couldn't believe LHA actually managed to make it funny, but somehow it was.

You have great taste in books. :)

<3 B.

[carpeofthediem]

Speak was made into a Lifetime movie. It was pretty crazy.

[charlischmarly323]

the curious incident of the dog in the night time!!!!!!!!!

i love that book!!!!!!!!!

you should read a spot of bother, by the same author

brilliant :D

[MeFingerHott]

speak be grand! haha

its sooo good

and kristen stuart did a better job than thought in the movie

but boook is soooo much better!

[iheartwillnderek7]

yessssssssssssss perks.

perks changed the way i look at everything.

[eekbrandon]

you should've flipped invisible monsters upside down ! :P made me buy it, hahaha

[BenJammin4020]

Oh that is awesome. I guess everyone loves The Perks of Being a Wallflower and read it in high school. Hmm how bizarre

[ahhgrrvated]

the perks of being a wallflower is one of my favorite books ever! i read it in high school too. it made me so happy that it was your number one.

have you read the fuck up? someone recommended it to me since i liked perks and it was pretty excellent.

[hautecouturexix]

the fuck up is really good too! i'll put my stamp of approval there--and considering i loved like 8 of the 10 books you listed stevie, i think youll like it too. it freaked me out that I just started reading the curious incident of the dog in the night-time about an hour before i watched this video. great list :)

[sobeit42]

i want to read the invisible monster just because of the awesomeness of the book cover.

[Jessica47503271]

Invisible Monsters is AWESOME.

[darbat]

I think I'll read the books on your list, since I've been eager to read something good lately.

Also, you remind me of the Cheshire Cat today.

[adiomorgan]

aghhh your 1 and 2 are mine =D

invisible monsters was the first chuck palahuink book i read...i coulndt believe they were brother and sister haha

[vascojoao]

the catcher in the rye is the only book that i really enjoyed back in high school. :)

[x3tischeriseyo]

the perks of being a wallflower is my favorite.

[dtournyc]

awesome....love book reviews

[arlyon06]

You have great taste in books!

[Naped86]

Perks is great...great list

[Singlemindedlyblunt]

i've read all but the book "naked"

great choices!!

[brotherman154]

You have such a good book collection. Do a video where you show every book you own, which I'm sure would be a long video.

[SammieB2277]

i love love love speak i had to read it in 9th grade but i love it so much ive read it like 5 times

[StevenExists]

I loved curious incidents and perks!

I'll definitely check out those other books.

[ThePianoChild]

catcher is the worst thing ever! just cuz i hated it

[TiffyC0okies]

Yes Naked rocked... his family is a riot.

[xk1mb3rly]

We are probably bookworm soulmates. POBW was the type of book that when I finished it (same day I started it) I literally still couldnt put it down. I kept it in my bag days after. Salinger has to be one of my favorite authors as well, Catcher in the Rye was brilliant but you can't get a good grasp on who is he is as a writer until you read Franny and Zooey.

Oh and I just read that short story in Haunted not too long ago. I LITERALLY SCREAMED.

I feel like a geek for liking this video alot lol

[jabazzy]

I love how you link everything. Thanks! I've read some of these and want to read the others for sure.

[natey168]

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower this weekend, and it was one of the best books I've read. :D I should be reading Speak tomorrow.

[prettyinlime]

I'm glad you did it on books!

Favorited it =)

[veronicamars313]

Sadly i have not read speak but i have seen the movie it has the girl from twilight in it...the one who plays bella. I think i might read the book the movie was very moving

[Jodiecal]

ohh I love Perks so much. I love Palahniuk and The Curious Incident... too and when I saw you liked The Catcher in the Rye I was hoping POBW would come up somewhere.

I think every teen should read that book, it's amazing.

:)

[bedofstars]

have you (or anyone really) read perks since high school? i loved loved loved it in hs but i'm scared to read it again now that i'm 23 cause i think i'll have a totally different opinion of it...

[IdioticFriends44]

OMFG! Speak is like my ULTIMATE favorite book everrr! They made it into a movie tooo! Another by Laurie Halse Anderson is Catalyst! I recomend those books to EVERYONE!

[SK8ERBoixxxx]

5awesomefags

[MargoRothSpiegelman]

thanks stevie!! im buying everyone books for birthdays now hahah

[grapemind]

Omg pofbaw is my favoorittee

Glad you did it on books btw

[rorose132]

Holy Jesus are you in my College Writing class or something (I know you're not)? You said three of the four books that I have to read for this class I'm taking.

[ickaickaicka]

I love your choices!!! Haha I've read Guts and I had the same reaction.

[paintheskypurple]

i just read that guts story you mentioned...

now i'm afraid to go swimming =/

but it was still pretty good

[Hawkgirl112]

Chuck Palahniuk is completely amazing, I lvoe all his books.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, really? Thats a terrible book.

Catcher In the Rye also amazing.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is the best book ever.

Also books is the best topic for any top ten list, well actually actually it ties with top ten songs.

Yeah, that's all.

[hllblly413]

no one in the world likes catcher in the rye. you sir, are on drugs

[WoWhoisAmazing]

r ur eyes purple?

[dvbowie]

i'm almost finished reading Naked, i love it

[Lyndzee112]

I know this sounds weird but everytime I finish a Chuck Palahniuk book I feel so normal.

[mtlrproductions]

white oleander was amazing!

i read the books and saw the movie.

it was great.

[feelthemusic39]

i just read Curious incedent, and i've read speak. GREAT book. Nice choices!! Now i want to read the others

[kyle23172]

We have the same #1 book. And I can see that many others do as well.

It's the only book I have ever read more than once.

[nadsatzombie]

haha, HAUNTED was the first chuck palahniuk book i read. i retold the story "guts" to all my friends for years. insane.

[Hobgoblins]

I loved this video! You're so right about Perks. It's sort of a 21st century Catcher in the Rye. Also, I'm so glad that you included Sedaris. He's excellent.

[blargeborg]

I think you should always do your videos that are talking about top whatever on books. I now have nine new books I'm going to Border's Books to get. You're amazing!

[ikylejm]

can you please say oleander again in your next video

[usasoccerfan04]

I now have 9 more books to read, haha. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

[tiicklemyfancy]

:) your suggestions are wonderful

[AnaJSavic]

i really enjoyed this. im am conviced I'm going to read all of these. and I'll get my cousin to read naked, I'm sure he"ll like it

[AmandaDorothy101]

guts is fucking messed up, i pretty much read it like you did!

[xObouncee]

ii read the book the perks of being a wallflower & ii thought it was the most amazing book EVER.

[DaydreamDelivery]

I had to read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" for school and I just couldn't get into it... but that might just be because the forced me to read it :/

[littlemilyyy]

david and chuck are my absolute favorite ever.

[AmandaDorothy101]

i fucking love the book speak!!!!

[valeriehudgens]

im starting to say hi and bye like you:D

[longlostline]

Not everyone likes "Catcher", actually. We had to read it in English and I just stopped at the 13th chapter - that's how bad I thought it was, and I really dislike the way it's written... Made it difficult for me to stay focused.

Chuck is my hero though. I'm so awesome for having my Fight Club signed by him, aren't I? Yeah, I am.

Perks is probably one of my favourite books. I read it over a year ago, loved it, and bought it a week ago just to own it.

[sonjunkie]

i loved this! :]

[gerry721]

Stevie, I agree. Perks is the best book and I liked the fact that you did it on books. They all sound really good and so many people have recommended that I read a David Saderis (or however you spell it) book and I think I will. :D

[KatieKat3393]

They made a movie out of Speak, starring Kristen Stewart. It's kind of an indie movie... IT'S INCREDIBLEEEEEEE. :D

[FerdinandFierce]

OMG, that's so funny, I am currently reading Choke..weird

[homermoo]

We definitely like the same authors. I'm so glad to hear someone else mentioning all of these greats. (I'm reading a David Sedaris book right after reading Choke, haha, small world.)

[thatrocketkid]

i love the book Snuff.

favoritee.

[partyweetow]

I had to read Choke for one of my English classes last semester. I never finished it, though. :\

[EisforErin]

i love curious incident

i love catcher

i love wallflower

i love your booklist.

okay the end!

[KelseyOnline]

Great recommendations. I'm going to try to read them all!

[cognito08]

I love your book recommendations; I've read a few of them and they're all good books.

Clever Stevie.

[bryceyousuck]

my favorite book is perks of being a wallflower

[piewiistuff1]

is Twilight # 11 plz

[abigailishere]

i like, basically, all of the books on your list.

though, i can't read speak. long story. i will never be able to read it. *giggles*Merriweather High*giggles*

[whaddupchunt]

thank you so much!

I'm trying to get into the habit of reading more mature books than my normal teen-fiction reads (i know....... O_O)

so THANX!

[ThatOneStevenKid]

i bought the perks of being a wallflower.. just because you talked about it so much... and it was really good.. it made me happy and sad.. within 2 mins of the other.. and so i want to thank you :)

[yusigoosey3]

wow i've read all of your top10 except haunted and snuff.. haunted was so gross i couldnt get past guts! i honestly cant get near a pool without freaking out now anymore. your favorite chuck i actually didn't really like that much, but invisible monsters was good and my favorite is lullaby. perks is really good, i bought it after watching the video you made on it. curious incident is so well-written

david sedaris is hysterical! my favorites are dress your family and engulfed in flames.

[yusigoosey3]

i love your book recommendations i like that you do them from time to time :)

[jessicathegreat11845]

if u turn invisible moster unsidedown its like a sad clown face lol:]

[JustDankIt14]

i love purks of being a wallflower

i read it in 2 days and im a super slow reader

it was deffinitly one of my favorites!

[ohmyleen]

goood idea actually!! invisible monsters :)

[katygolucky]

I loved the Catcher in the Rye.

<3

[TheOneAndOnlyTig]

Ah! I loved Number 7.

It is in my top 10 too :]

[wakingdown]

BOOKS! <3

I liked it.

[Rhianonn94]

books are the awesome!

the only book i read of the ones u listed was the catcher in the rye. i read it when i was a junior in high school. i didn;t like it. it could be because i was in high school and i hated reading. tehe! but i want to read the one u gave number one and choke. thanks for the great vid!

[ohitsryan]

The perks of being a wallflower is my favorite book of all time.

im so sad because i let my now ex-bf borrow when we were together, then we broke up and now i dont think ill ever get it back. lol

[jessimilagres]

Stevie, you should read Post Cards from No Man's Land by Aiden Chambers. It's about this British guy goes England to meet his grandpa's lady-friend who helped him during WWII. He meets this transvestite that helps him uncover his grandpa's story and there are flashbacks to WWII from the woman's point of view, and there are wonderful twists! It's just beautifully written, hilarious, and hard to put down!

[chantelml]

wow it seems like you have GREAT taste in books. Or, at least the same taste in books as I do.

I haven't read any of the books you mentioned, but how you described them makes me want to go out and get 'em all!!! :-D

[larenbats]

OMG....The Perks...Love it!

[liacoolaid19]

I love how i like all these books. we should share books!!!!

[ThatOneLAKid]

Was The Perks of Being a Wallflower book cover have anything to do with the color of ur walls?

[dwarfrabbit445]

I LOVE The Perks of Being a Wallflower. And I was thinking about reading Invisible Monsters because I wanted to know what Panic! At the Disco's song Time To Dance was all about... I think I'll be making a trip to Borders sometime in the near future.

Thanks for the recommendations!

[VettrianoLove]

I lovelovelove your taste in books.

You should read Etgar Keret. He's wonderful.

I know what books I am buying tonight! :D

<33

[nerdfighter42]

I love Chuck Palahniuk ! I'd have a bunch of his books in my top ten too. And also Tom Robbins and Haruki Murakami who I love.

[Chick6517]

red car glitched at the end a bit, he had to do a bit more of a swirve to round it out. Also at the end notice that the bell boy on the right tries to wave to the models. Easy. Slow down, cut the wheel and nail the accelerator. Only works with RWD manual.

[GilroyGroupProd]

I have The Perks of Being a Wallflower sitting on my shelf. Maybe I'll read it now.

[karatechopkate]

perks is amazing

<3 (:

[justaguyfriend]

If only I read...

Anyway - Favorited this video. Great job, Steven. You're so good, I couldn't put you down.

[butnoonetoldme]

'the perks of being a wallflower' is awful. mix tape that.

[andicorrin]

perks of being a wallflower<33

i was waiting for that to be on this list.. so glad it was number 1!

chuck palahniuk is amazing as well

[werewolfbitevictim]

i loved your book list. i will probably pick up all the chuck palahnuik books they all sound so interesting

[aaarianna]

i LOVE perks! :D

and i didn't really like catcher in the rye that much.

[sleepyreader42]

You might like books by H.P. Lovecraft or Izumi Kyoka if you are into the Gothic.

[kater1244]

Invisible Monsters blew my mind the first time I read it.

definitely one of my favorites too.

[gabbixxinsane]

im reading catcher in the rye becuase we are assigned to read it in english class, so far a really like it! :]

im gunna go buy a couple books you had in your list, they sound good :]

[secret27wish]

I loved the idea of a book countdown!

[Buddyholliex16]

speak is my favorite book.

AND i loved snuff. did you

not like fight club?

the books you chose were amazing :]

awesome top 10.

[hippooh88]

The curious incident of the dog in the night, to quote korey is Epic!!!

[10MrsDavidTennant10]

I agree- it's such an incredible insight.

[RaspberrySigne]

I loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime!

[nomdevlog]

Thank you for this! I am always looking for good books!

[WaterBottleAddiction]

ahh, speak..

so amazing :)

[UwishUwereMe2]

I had the same reaction to "Guts"... I almost puked at the bookstore.

I highly recommend East of Eden by Steinbeck. It's pretty amazing.

AND anything by Margaret Atwood.

[girlsailors]

I have never wanted to throw up while reading a book, but I gagged numerous times reading Haunted. So amazing.

[xNecroAnon]

Oh god, I read "Guts"... Just you mentioning it freaked me out.

But you make me want to read more... which is something I don't do.

[suppastar05]

Oh my! I love palahniuk!!! and who doesn't love salinger? yay for you and books

[NalafischSkypig]

I love white oleander!

it's one of my favs

[BitterLover18]

i know you think that this video was pointless but i'm always looking for new books to read and this is GREAT!!!

i'll have to check out Palahnuik...so thank you :)

[likethewater]

I have to read perks again..it's been a while...

btw you should''ve done you top 10 favorite wigs! (that is..if you have 10 lol)

[mybigsecret3]

do you have to open every book while you talk about it? haha

[blazenazn]

I've read a biut of the curious incident of the dog in the night time at boarders, i need to actually buy it at some point. lol.

[tortilluh]

I've read all but 2 of those books.

Also, Catcher In The Rye was probably the worst book I have ever had to read.

[emilyEXECUTIONER]

lol i have to study the curiouse incidant of the dog in the night time in my year 10 english class.

Haha oh ya didnt mention that speak was made into a movie.

[jfkwifey]

i really like this video! i want to read david sedaris!

[Reija]

I watched Choke and I didn't like it, at all

[obentomusubi]

I like Catcher in the Rye. I had to read it this summer, but I could relate to the guy.

[lightscamerachicago]

lol... top ten marshmellow's.

[alexiarocks]

i HATE catcher in the rye.
