10 Greatest books of all time... according to me:)

Sunnyvale Reject's list of 10 of the greatest books ever written.

This list is great because it's not the same 10 best that all the other internet lists and book tubers recommend. You gave me some brand new books to add to my list, thank you!

[markwilliams]

Love your style and picks, very unpretentious which is refreshing

[rohithreddy]

I have been watching a lot of book reviews and yours was the best i felt. The enthusiasm with which you talked about each book was good to watch.

Food for thought. So many books and so little time. Happy reading, and here's to the next ten.

Fante is one of the most underrated American writers. He's so good and sensible

I really liked this video, great delivery. I've only read two, Toole and Faulkner. I think Light in August by Faulkner, Suttree by McCarthy are my favourite books. I am trying to get through Crime and Punishment but it's tough going.

Love the vibe and love the selection! Added a lot to my tbr.

I have the same copy of Monte Cristo 😂 i read it for the first time last month..loved it!

I highly recommend Sushako Endo's Silence

Stumbled upon this video, I have read and enjoyed two of your books, Tale of Two Cities and The Count of Monte Cristo. Loved them both.
But most of all as a nightshift worker I salute you having a beer at 10am !

That’s a real enlightening list of books.

First video I’ve watched on your channel! Loved this list, “Johnny Got His Gun” really got my attention and I’ll be definitely reading it sometime

[sonderexpeditions]

Good selection. I enjoyed the commentary.

I love booklists and I'll be adding some of these to my "want to read" list. Always interesting to see what other people find compelling. One of my favourite books that I reread periodically is 1984 by Orwell, not because he is a great writer, but because I truly found the story, well, "compelling".
I remember loving The Count of Monte Christo, I know I started Crime and Punishment but didn't get through it, now I think I will give it another go, and I'm adding A Tale of Two Cities, so thanks for your list.
Lately, I've been catching up on all the LeCarre books, _The Little Drummer Girl_ is quite apt at this time (Israel/Palestine conflict). I find I really have to focus with LeCarre because there are often many characters who have aliases and I lose track of who is who, but his writing is what makes his stories so satisfying. LeCarre is a very eloquent writer and he is an astute observer of the human condition, (I think Agatha Christie had that quality as well) I find it difficult to read other authors in that genre afterward.

Man, I resonated so much with your list (esp Raymond Chandler and Monte Cristo) - im currently reading a Confederacy of Dunces - I would add Lonesome Dove, that book is incredible. And I was actually at the Uruguay match in KC.

[dylanely]

dude your content is awesome !! subscribed. if you got a good mic i think it would help your channel a bunch. thanks for adding some new books i haven’t heard of to my tbr. cheers to morning beers

[glendyc]

Great list, I remember reading A Confederacy of Dunces in high school but I honestly don't remember much about it. The Count of Monte Cristo is definitely a book I would like to read soon I've heard great things about it, it's just a super long book lol. I love soccer and it sucks that USA has been eliminated but I'm hoping Argentina wins the tournament.

You mention having a “good literary foundation”. That could make for an interesting video. What is a good literary foundation? What is yours? How does that improve/impact your reading experience, movies, life, etc.
