Nice progress!

Doing brilliantly Greg and some great books there 😊

One of these days, if you ever have the time, please consider doing a video on your go-to source for audiobooks and, if possible, what you think is the best deal. Glad to see you're getting more into Borges. Cheers.

I first read Stoner four years ago, in the middle of the COVID pandemic (when I was 20). It felt like the perfect book for that time-quiet, reflective, and oddly comforting. Since then, I’ve reread it 3 times and each time, I appreciate even more how it finds meaning in the small, everyday moments. I’m a new subscriber and recently discovered your channel. I’m really looking forward to watching more of your videos and getting some great recommendations for my next read ❤️‍🩹

_Killin'_ it! 🎉

Well I managed to finish 21 books this past week. Only one was long the rest just easy paper backs. It is great to clean off some of my shelves !!!

Yes, it’s time to read Night. I just borrowed from hoopla as the wait list on Libby is many weeks.

Glad to see Pip earning his salary. Pip doesn’t appear to have hate in his heart, but I would suspect a bit of mischievousness. Chekhov’s plays? You can keep’em - but his stories? Mmm mmm. I didn’t much like Borges when young. Time for a revisit? You read a lot of interesting stuff - even if no corkers.

It's always a treat to see Pip. Night is an extremely powerful book. I reread it a few years ago and I found it to be more powerful than when I first read it in high school.

Must get to Borges 😢

I don't know if you've read his essays, but Borges is more insightful and fascinating about a work like The Divine Comedy, Hawthorne, Don Quixote, than most critics. He had an incredible memory. After he was blind he continued to write and lecture on Kafka, Arabian Nights, Divine Comedy....He would dictate lines to friends and those who visited him and ask them to write it down and re-read it back to him. Remarkable man.

Making great progress!

You have a lot of creepy books here, Greg. You made me laugh out loud when you were describing one of these horror books and said, "This is not for the easily offended.....(PAUSE)...I'm going to give it a shot." Of course you are! I do like those Hard Case Crime books. You're going to have this challenge done in no time at all.

You're too kind, Greg. Seriously, though, don't worry about reading it; it's just the first book in a series and ends on a hard cliff hanger. You might actually get a more satisfying read out of my post-apocalyptic Lovecraftian zombie novella--half the size, and oozing over with a lot more gore, violence and unspeakable acts of transgression. Someone made a video review about; I didn't ask him to, he just did it. The novella is called The Mouth of Hell. It packs quite a punch. Here's the review: ruclips.net/video/EtFfcAkZ_Ak/видео.html Unlike Creepy Me, which is set in Virginia, The Mouth of Hell takes places in NY (in Manhattan) where I once lived. Cheers, and thank you for even letting me take up space on your Kindle. --Will.

I love the snowflake challenge! As I work towards the 100 I can earn snowflakes along the way ❄️❄️❄️

I have found Babel in my library donations for $2.00 hardcover , I plan to read it in December. Also Frisk by Dennis Cooper is a book I been wanting to read since I started RUclips.

You've got some great books to pick from. The Man From St. Petersburg sounds like one I'd like to check out.

"gonna get some"'😂🤣😅 You have some interesting books to read. I've thought about reading Babel but I'm going to wait for your review. ✌️📚

That’s a ton of pages in a week! And an iron will! They love challenging us with sales! There was a book sale at my library yesterday. I convinced myself it was just the remnants I picked over last month or I wouldn’t have made it 😅😅 hope you knock the challenge out before the temptations get too strong! 😊

Thanks for the snowflake level!

Sounds really fun! I’ve not read Lovecraft in a long time.

Any comics or graphic novels that you get directly from the Kindle store have individual panel view, which you can enable by double tapping the center of the the screen.

OMG... Can somebody PLEASE tell me, HOW is it possible someone who has this many books pronounces nuclear like "NUKE-YOU-LER"?!? MAKE IT STOP

The Wolf Den trilogy is excellent. I really enjoyed it. Was it the Brothers Gwynne on BT you saw? It was their enthusiasm for the series that made me pick it up.

I just stick with the book

You’re storming through those books 😊

Great wrap up, Greg and congrats on resisting the NYRB sale. These things are not easy to resist! I was thinking about trying the audio for In the Night for Cliff's book club too. The premise sounds good and I love the father/daughter aspect. Wow, Buddhist concepts within Stephen King is very interesting, I'll have to check out that channel! The Long Walk is definitely on my list for some day. Love seeing Teddy on his walk - my daughter has been asking to get a cat harness and leash for ours so she can talk them for walks, so I might have to put that on the Christmas list, lol. :D

I still have memories about The Long Walk; and I read it when I was around 13, close to the age of the kids, and was engrossed by it. Didn't you do a review of the Repairman Jack books? Cheers.

SPOILER ?: I loved The Long Walk. I wonder if Stephen King saw it as young men being drafted or signing up in the army and going to war, etc., that they have to go on, trying hard not to get shot at. That's the image I get.

Thanks for bringing Reading from the Depths to my attention - I subscribed to follow this new series. I haven't read The Long Walk yet but have it on my TBR so can enjoy that during the Read What You Own Challenge.

That’s a hefty amount of pages!

This might be my favorite book of all time and I'm due for a reread! My preferred translation is the Constance Garnett one but it should be lovely either way!

I don't think I'm quite ready for a re-read, but it's a great novel. Hope you all enjoy the group read. I will be reading "The Idiot" in the near future -- the only major Dostoevsky work I haven't tackled yet. Have a good one!

Thanks Greg! I’m glad to contribute some pages to your read what you own project.😀 I wonder if the author of The Hunger Games read TheLong Walk.

Nightworld creeped me out just hearing about it!

Thanks for the shout out! Here's hoping the series works in practice as well as it works in my head... The Adversary series sounds really interesting and I hadn't heard of it before. Looking into it, though, wow, it gets confusing... He originally wrote a trilogy, but then another trilogy which should be read interspersed with the original trilogy... then he wrote an additional 16 novels that mostly take place after book 3, though some of them after book 4 and some of them after book 5, and re-wrote book 6 to accommodate all the new lore and whatnot that he had created in those 16 novels... What? I think the series sounds fun. I don't know about 23-novel fun, though. What do you suggest? Just the (semi-) original 6?

I'm impressed you resisted the NYRB book sale. You're doing great with the challenge.

I love the kitty interlude! Hee hee! Another great week crushing pages!

This is great Greg! There are still so many Lovecraft stories I still need to read.

Last year it took me to June to reach the bronze tier!😀 Now there are only 7 books on my shelf so I will not be taking part in the challenge (but read those seven books).

I really liked the first of the 5 Warrior Angels books.

Good luck. I hope the elder ones don't notice your curiosity!
