 I wasn't planning on making another video, especially another lengthy video so soon, but just tonight, Christina Horner posted a book tag video called the Inside Out book tag, of course inspired by the Inside Out movie. And it looked like I could do a quick and easy response to it, so I sat down to do it. Number one, the first emotion is joy. She asks what books made us feel joy, and I'm going to interpret that to mean laughter. And the first thing that comes to mind for me when I talk about laughing at a book is our dumb century, the 100 years of the onion. I got this at the turn of the century in the year 2000, and I was sharing a house with a friend of mine at the time, and we sat down with this at the kitchen table and just laughed hysterically at every page in the book. And for this book, they invented headlines, joke headlines for every week of every year of the 20th century. Here, Rosa Parks to Take Cab, and right next to it, White's Invent Rock and Roll. Get a copy of this. This is worth every penny. The other idea that comes to mind when I think of just truly enjoying reading, just really escaping and feeling like a sense of elation. I remember a number of years ago, 10 or 15 years ago, getting that feeling while I was reading a really good comic book. And I remember saying to myself, man, I just love reading a good comic book. I don't remember what comic book that was, honestly. And it's been so long since I've seen good comic books. But just a couple of months ago, I got the first issue of Lumberjanes. And I got a bit of that feeling with it. That's a good book. The second emotion Christina mentions is Disgust. And I have a book for that, a new book for me that I just read this year, Eclipse by K. A. Bedford. I'm going to talk about this book at length in the book tag that I plan to do next week. So I'll save it for that. But I'll tell you, I had to read this book, little bits at a time, I would read a little bit, stop for a few days and come back to it, read a little bit, stop for a few days and come back to it all the way through. It never let up. It's an excellent book, though. And I'll give it its own review. The third emotion, fear. I talked about this book once before, Communion by Whitley Streber. This is the only time in my life that I've had the experience of real fear when reading a book. I don't mean to say that it's a good book because it isn't. But the first 20%, first third of this book or so, I couldn't sleep for weeks. If you want to play a dirty trick on somebody you know who is sensitive to that sort of thing, just tell them, hey, you ought to read Communion. I think you'd like that. They will curse you for the rest of your lives. Fourth is sadness. I've been thinking about that these last few minutes and I'm drawing a blank. I'm taking this to mean sadness in the sense of you want to shed tears for a character in the book or for what's happening in the book. I haven't responded to books that way. It does make me sad in general when I pick up a book by an author whose work that I really enjoy and find that their writing isn't good anymore. That's a really sad feeling. I think we all know that. All right, finally there's anger. Number five. And yeah, there have been books that have made me angry. The very first review I did in this series, Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I love that book. The second book in the series, Fall of Hyperion, the ending really made me angry. Now I've never explained in detail what I meant because it was a 30-second review and I stuck exactly to 30 seconds and I've kind of enjoyed over the last three years not explaining. Someday I may have to. But anyway, those two books are actually one book. They're clearly one book that was separated in two volumes because it was too big. And the thing that made me mad about the ending was not that I didn't like the ending or that I disagreed with the ending, it's because the ending was a rip-off. Maybe I'll explain in detail someday. And maybe I won't. The other thing that comes to mind is The Narnia books by C. S. Lewis. Those are not good books. My father read those to me and my sisters when we were tiny and we loved them at the time and I've always had fond memories of them. I reread them about 10 years ago or so when those awful movies came out. And my goodness, those books are terrible. The second book in particular made me very angry. Prince Caspian. I mean, we all know that those books are Christian allegory. But unless you've read these books as an adult, you're not going to understand how far he takes it and how political they actually are. It's infuriating. Avoid those books. I say don't read them yourself. Don't read them to your children. The other thing I wanted to mention was whenever I see those conservative books in the grocery store, those hateful Rush Limbaugh books and Bill O'Reilly and those horrible Duck Dynasty books, they're always in the grocery stores. It makes me mad just to see them. Okay, maybe it wasn't a good idea to end on anger. Maybe I should have reversed it or something like that. Anyway, there it is, the inside-out book tag. Thank you, Christina. I'm still watching. I'm still a fan. I'm glad you're reading more books. I told you I was going to send you a box full of William Slater books someday and I will and there will be more than William Slater in it. I'm not going to tag anybody right now, but I'm going to do a new book tag next week and I will tag some people, so pay attention and see you then. Bye.
