Hey all - here's an important note. I held up the Iliad, but confused it with the storyline of The Odyssey, which is the other poem by Homer. I do recommend them both. Apologies for the mistake! :)

I'm so excited to see this video starting to get some of the traction that your awesome channel deserves. I sincerely hope and believe that it is indicative of the explosion of growth that will soon transpire. Very much deserved!
And thanks for this terrific video, as well. I've read and strongly agree with most of your choices and, based on your recommendation, will soon read the others. Thanks again!

John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden” - probably my favorite book of all time.

I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo and its just amazing.

I read Jane Eyre a few years ago. I looked at it as a project, "I SHOULD read this." I wasn't expecting to fall in love with it. But instantly did! I've read it twice since then and I hope to be re-reading it the rest of my life.

I definitely want to take on Hunchback. I read Les Miserables a few years ago. It was not the easiest read, but I did enjoy it. (For the most part.)

And, of course, I adore The Lord of the Rings. I will never stop re-reading it, until my eyeballs fall out!

I strongly agree with the older books on your list. I think you are spot on. The newer books are not my favorites but I can see why you picked them. Good job!

Kingsbridge series by ken follet one of my fav of all time
Which you mention first book ( pillar of the earth ) ....my God, what a book

[Yesica]

I generally prefer longer books. If I'm going to invest time and effort in reading something, I might as well be in that world (or in that topic, if nonfiction) for a while. That's assuming, of course, I'm enjoying it. If you're slogging through a book and hating every minute of it, it feel like it will never end!

The Count of Monte Cristo! One of my all-time faves!

[identitycat]

Your editions of books are amazingly beautiful, definitely pieces of art.😻

The count of Monte Cristo is in my top 10 favourite books of all time! I was very happy when you said that you like it so much in your video review! I also want to read War and peace for such a long time, even have a very beautiful hard cover illustrated edition, but the length of the books is so intimidating 😭

I feel the same with Count of Monte Cristo. Read it twice, in 2014 and 2020. France released a 3 hour movie adaptation this year and I heard a miniseries version is coming this fall

[anitababcock]

My favorites are Anna Karenina, War and Peace and Gone With the Wind. Highly recommend to lovers of classic readers!

Good luck with what you choose to read, I hope you get some great stories. Currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Very good but I maybe some time!

A big book I recommend is A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.

You said sorry for recommending two Hugo’s. Don’t be sorry, it’s YOUR list—you do you! 😊

[awshubbar]

The amount of post-its in your books!!! 🤩

[darth_hylian]

Nice recommendations! Good taste. You have some very nice editions of those books. That LOTR cover is very appealing

[thespaminator]

It’s really rare that I see list like this, and completely agree with every book on the list. Well done. 👏🏻
