This is SO COOL

Seriously excellent job. You should have dropped me an email and I would have scanned it for you🙂

This is legitimately awesome.

I have to say, this is extremely Ballardian. Well done, chap.

Wow!

I want one but it would require me to go out and get all of the DAW books first.

Yes!! Baens in a DAW shelf!

$50!

I'd definitely buy one. Please take my money.

"I'm not a huge collector of DAW", proceeds to fill the shelf with 240 DAW paperbacks. 😂 Love this build, looks great.

This is one of my favourite videos of the year. A work of art. You’ve raised the bar on bookshelves. Curious if you have any shelving plans for your Fantasy Press books? That logo would look great as woodcut art by itself.

That's awesome!

I thought A Time of Changes was very good. I wonder if that’s one of your dnfs lol😂

i just started Count Zero and I absolutely love Gibson's style of very fluid and colorful descriptions of its world. It made me feel like I was really there experiencing it. I breezed through the first 40 pages just picturing everything very vividly as it went along. Neuromancer was also kool, but very confusing and disorienting. I had to re-read several chapters in order to soak in everything and understand or at least make it make sense lol! But Count Zero i think just flows really good and just some words and phrases that he uses are just drugs to my eyes.

I didn’t like the Empire of the Sun movie much. Mainly because of the stuff not in the book - like the Malkovic character. Great book though. Drowned World is even better. One of those books that creates a long-lasting atmosphere in memory that outlasts memory of the text.

How did I miss this gem? Glad I'm not the only one out there thinking this

The “master to break rules” is a HUGE part of jazz too. Great review! I’m going to have to read this now!

Very Ballardian.

I also saw Empire of the Sun too young! Great video!

Talking about books and life is definitely still needed in this world. On a brighter note, that non-Daw bookshelf is really cool. The drawer’s and artistic touches show an eye for detail. Keep up the good work man! (Sargeras_Bolg)

🤔 Wonder if the DAW shelf could be repurposed for the yellow SF Masterworks? 😳 Love the pentagon project. Trying to envision your finished work. I think ‘Empire of the Sun’ is one of Spielberg’s best. One of his first serious films. Until next time … keep creating!

Out of curiosity The Book Rapport, do you happen to be ethnically Jewish?

The manga is great

Awesome haul :D

Orion ship is awesome, theres a fan made pic on the net that shows it in all its glory

That's not how the interview went at all! ... There was much more silverware clinking in the background.

That is an amazing Burrroughs haul. I see some of these around but have no clue on rarity, ect. I usually just check them out and see how stinky they are then put them back. Nice to see a lot of them that were so well cared for. Just gorgeous.

This is too funny. And i love the OB!

What in the name of holy fuck am I watching?

Went through all of Known Space stuff a couple years ago, it was mostly good with some mediocrity here and bits of greatness there. Last books were underwhelming regurgitations of pre-established material/lore. Oh, and thanks for reminding me of Mote in the Gods Eye, I forgot about it completely, need to read it!🧐

This one consistently put me to sleep. Narrator wasn't bad, but after the initial hook I kept waiting for exposition segments to end, and something interesting to start happening, but it never did. Also, wasn't the fan of hard sci-fi slipping into pure fairytale in parts. After this one, I had no desire to continue the series.

I stopped reading a long time ago, now I only consume audiobooks. Most of the time I manage to concentrate on the narration, but sometimes I end up re-listening to big chunks - tired head, poor narrator and maybe boring writing...😄 I loved Tiger! Tiger! audiobook, narrator is great and the story is gripping. Feels like it's hard to find such good writing among the books I consume nowadays.

You're a very naughty boy! The booktube gods forgive me, i guffawed several times.

Great. But you shouldn’t have got your accent coaching from Dick van Dyke.

Very Ballardian.

I hope that one day, I’ll be able to read my resume to Andy Weir.

Lacklustre? Slan? My favourite Van Vogt... Which I have been re-reading for decades... Well, many of the oldies have not aged well, at least for new readers. The insights into humanity though and humanity's inherent instinct to tun on the 'other' in their midst - I still think that has aged well.

I like what you said about hobbies having a lifecycle and also needing the means to have a hobby. Glad to see you back. When will learn more about Frank & Dave's booktube journey?

Hey dude, you should know that your videos bring me a lot of comfort and joy and I don't think great videography skills are necessary when the videos you make come from a place of genuine care and excitement. I keep thinking about Kurt Vonnegut's letter to Xavier high school when I'm thinking about art making. Sometimes art isn't supposed to be taken seriously and it's sole purpose is just to be made and to be enjoyed in the making process. Anyways, you're appreciated, keep it up (if you feel like it)👍

When you were talking about the process of listening, one thing that occurred to me was for audiobooks, you're going at the pace of the narrator. When you're looking at words on a page, you read at your pace. Like, SFwordsofwonder, I mostly listen to non-fiction these days. I can think more about the information being presented think less about how the prose is making me feel and such. Love the UFP Flag!

I just finished "Authority," the second book in Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach Trilogy on audible and listening to a book is so different than reading! I agree, it is not the best way to consume books, but I love listening while I drive. I separate books I have to read physically and books I can listen to. Stephen King is great on audible, Roger Zelazny would be impossible. Great topic and great video!

I agree about audiobooks, its a occupies a slightly different place in my mind. I can usually only listen to fiction audiobooks on re-reads because I will often lose the thread of the story. But non-fiction is almost exclusively audio for me now, and I can completely absorb it. My only explanation is it reminds me of being in school/college and listening to lectures. Ah, The Stars My Destination (Tiger, Tiger), Bester was a master. Slaughterhouse-Five is narrated by James Franco and I'm still not sure what I think of his performance. But now I want to re-'read' Breakfast of Champions with Malkovich as narrator. Good to see you back.

Just finished this book, but there are so many questions, I wonder if anyone could help me to clarify these... 1. Wig claims that there was God inside matrix around 13 yrs ago, back then there was no super AI(Wintermute combined with Neuromancer), who was the God? 2. Wig went to space around 11 yrs ago, Freeside still operating at the time, where did he go? 3. Wig retired at Cannes around 22 yrs old, Marly meet him 15 yrs later, how come he is so old? 4. Who gave the ICE to Wig at first place? He upload the data into the core and then he sold the ICE to Finn, then Finn sold it to Beauvoir... 5. Case and Molly helped freeing Wintermute around 8 yrs ago, how come those VooDoo Gods(seperate AI) could help Mitchell to get into Maas before that time? 6. When did Mitchell get the Biochip inside Angie's brain? After he went to Arizona or after he joined Maas in Swiss? 7. Why did Maas give the address of Boxmaker to Alain and ask him to trade with Marly? 8. Who hired the Lobe to rob Bobby, was that Maas? 9. How did Virek know the connection between Boxmaker and the AI at first place?

Months later I'm seeing this - now I know about the Mentions section in youtube studio! Thank you so very much, I appreciate you too.

the only part of The Giant's Star that i have a problem with is when Hunt-Dancheker & Company are talking with The Giants about what happened right after Minerva exploded, they just "left" Charlie on the Moon with no explanation that i remember as to why. BTW, Book 4 is Entoverse & Book 5 is Mission To Miverva.

This is one of my most favorite books. It also anticipates the current progress being made in using computer vision, x-rays, and AI to interpret old scrolls and similar material that are no longer readable such as with the Vesuvius Challenge. This book is an excellent example of hard SF and I still re-read it every few years.

Cool books! I love old books.
