I usually can't make these live, but really enjoy them on replay. It always brightens my day to hear your thoughts. Hope you enjoy the Chicago trip- I lived there for years and love the city! Thanks as always for the video!
Thank you so much!
A great listen. Love you, bud
@@benjamincrowhurst5998 love ya bro
I would love some way down the road if you could consider reading Boudica by Manda Scott Jimmy. I think you would really resonate with that. And it would be something you and Alan could meet halfway on :) Hippie druidic stuff (GRRM dream sequences adjecent) and Roman history. Beautiful quartet of books with prose very similar to Hobb I think.
@@helgestrm9670 that sounds very interesting
Be easy on yourself mate. Love your channel!
@@paulie6673 thank you!!
Just watched the outro. Love you, my man! This channel has given me a lot. Thank you.
@@marcweber8509 I’m so glad to hear that
Chicago boy here. Hope the city treats you well when you’re here and you have a good trip :).
@@besidetheclocksloneliness8031 thank you! I’m excited
I'm going to be reading Cloud Atlas soon, can't wait to see what the hype is about. I hear it has similarities in structure (although Cloud Atlas seems more complex) to Sea of Tranquility, one of my favorites.
I hope golf can bring you some enjoyment in jiu-jitsu's absence! Give us that golf vlog, you can talk about books in between shots haha
@@joshramirez7 it’s gonna happen 😆
Emotional Jimmy to close out was hitting right in the feels. Another great convo even though I have to listen back afterwards. Hopefully family weekend was enjoyable!
@@adamborst thank you, had a decent weekend. Hope your week goes well!
Notes:
I immensely preferred A column of fire to pillars of the earth. Maybe you’d consider giving it a try? It’s a big book.
Since you liked Cloud Atlas, maybe you would like Cloud Cuckoo Land. It follows a fictional Ancient Greek classic through the centuries and has a wonderful autistic character.
Ficciones by Borges is fantastic. I would highly recommend. The man was translating Shakespeare into Spanish in middle school.
Still waiting for you to read An Artist of the Floating World.
Reading Lord of Emperors right now and love it. Still probably prefer Under Heaven but this is pretty great. Under Heaven was my book of the year last year.
@@Fianna1775 under heaven is soooooo good
Just saw the end, and just wanted to thank you for all you do on the channel and in the community - we got your back 💪
@@BooksWithBenghisKahn thank you my friend
Really great to watch this and to listen to you!
@@mich7008 thanks bro!
Johanna dipping out on Kushiel's Dart because of the BDSM, and then there was me reading it wishing it had more
@@andrewhanson405 hahahaha
I really enjoyed watching the live on replay (time zones) from beginning to end. I really appreciate your content, you brighten up my day all the way across an entire ocean. I truly wish you the best and brighter days to come!
I appreciate that! Thank you for commenting and the kind words
Just finished The Scar today. Loved it and the reason I prioritized it this year was your #1 last year. Uther Doul is a badass.
@@mike_reads_stuff YESSSSSSS
@@mike_reads_stuff the possible sword is so freaking cool
@@thefantasynuttwork "Doul has a thousand right arms, slicing in a thousand directions. His body moves, and like a stunningly complex tree, his sword arms spread through the air, solid and ghostly."
Caught this on the replay. Draft King jokes were on point. lol. The Scar was absolutely amazing. If it wasn't for Swan Song it would be my book of the year. This stream was amazing and bummed I couldn't join. Have a good week man.
@@blacknbluecollarreader thank you brother! Have a great week
We love ya, Jimmy. ❤ You are a Chad.
Just bought The Long Tomorrow 😊
@@chadia25 I hope you enjoy it!
Great listen. Love you brother.
@@tannersturgeon2448 thanks doggy, love ya too let’s meet up for some pepperoni rolls soon
Well F me... the ending got me all teared up. Thanks so much for everything you do, Jimmy. I hope you know how much joy your content brings me, be it the vlogs, reviews, wrap ups, livestreams or anything on Bend the Knee even. My mental health has been utter shite for the past few years, and you truly have gotten me through some of the darkest days. You're not alone, keep hanging in there ❤
@@esmayrosalyne stay strong friend 💪 it’s always a plus to know you’re not alone. Appreciate you!
@@thefantasynuttwork absolutely, we'll stay strong together ☺
Jude the Obscure is high on my TBR. I love Thomas Hardy
@@demidrek-heyward it’s now on my radar
❤Great talk!
@@Wouter_K thanks!!
I went though something similar with whitewater kayaking that you are having with bjj. I spent so much time and energy doing it and getting better. Then one day I just noticed I was not having fun with it anymore. It took me a while to accept that but I did. Still think of it fondly and maybe some day ill go back to it but I think ive kind of just moved on from it now. appreciate everything you do on the channel!
@@TomOrange thanks for sharing this!
Hey Jimmy! It’s lovely to get to watch these after the fact as I’m in a very different time zone (Spain) and livestreams from the US are not easy to connect to. Just want you to know I really enjoy your content!
@@eavanodonoghue thank you so much!
Catching the rewatch 🙏💙🔥
@@JsHolgersson thanks for listening!
you're the man, jimmy. Who else am I gunna listen at 5 am when I can't sleep?
@@jacknixon2812 glad I can help!
You got to make a video on the Baslag trilogy you owe it to yourself. Keep up the good work.
@@neutral_10 thanks!!
Hey Jimmy, any plans to do a full video discussing BotNS now that you've finished it?
@@Tengoshi I’d like to!
Hey Jimmy, Steve Donoghue actually just read The Long Tomorrow two days ago for a booktub event he is part of. You should talk to him about it.
@@drafferty6756 nice!!!
Also, I totally second Amanda's recommendation of Stephenson's Anathem
@@jeroenadmiraal8714 it’s on its way!
I enjoyed Kushiel's Dart at first, but by the end I was really fed up with the MC and between 30%-90% there's barely anything of import happened in the book. Also this book made me hate word 'wept' soooo much haha, I just can't help myself but to roll my eyes whenever I encounter it in other books.
@@Gaz_the_lock hahaha oh my
Infinite Jest is a commitment at times, but i generally found it really fun to read. Took me 6 months but it became my favorite novel ive ever read
@@hr6280 I hope one day to try again
@@thefantasynuttwork fwiw, the character work was top notch. Some of my favorites ever
Love ya Jimmy
@@kaizacorp love ya bro
Hot take: Stephen Markley's The Deluge might be a contender to kick Cloud Atlas from the first spot. Very different books though.
@@jeroenadmiraal8714 I wanna read it
Heroes Die is a great book to read if you’re stuck in a reading slump. I finished it three days, it’s very addictive (everyone says the cover is horrible, but I kinda like it)
@@SarahJ70 the cover is so bad that I love it lol
Honestly in thinking about it, I would say the second Otherland book is one of my least favorites of Tad's out of what I have read so far (still need to get to Bobby Dollar) with Stone of Farewell second despite me thinking Otherland might be his best series. Like you I think it's too tangential, though some of that stuff is important moving on, and almost felt like a "holding pattern" despite doing some wild ideas like the Wizard of Oz world. Mountain of Black Glass is a huge step up because Ancient Troy is a cool world setting and it moves a bunch of plots forward by the end and yes unites some of the threads in place for a wild ride of a final book.
Also, I think you will be pleased with the Last King characters and how they develop. As much as I liked Witchwood Crown the succeeding books have the benefit of just building up on plot threads instead of having to introduce like 15 POVs. IMHO I think Empire of Grass might be his strongest Book 2. Shadowmarch Book 2 is close, though, and has one of my favorite sequences in his novels (when you get to it in a year or so: "Jack of Chains.")
And thank you for doing the channel, Jimmy, yours and others like Johanna and Phillip have convinced me to get back into fantasy/sci-fi after being pretty light on reading it over the years.
@@andrewlavigne44 I’m so excited for empire of grass! Also happy to hear you are reading more
❤
Acts of Caine (Heroes Die) is maybe in my Top 5 series overall. Let's see what you think about it! Showbiz, martial arts, dastardly behaviour all over the place... sounds like your thing, am I right? :D Edit: Kushiel's Dart has also been on my list for so long!
@@marcweber8509 I think I’ll like it!
Great as always to spend an evening with you Sir Jimmy. Listening to you talk always inspires me to get off my phone and into a book!
Quick question with the ups and downs of both series would you say you prefer Book of the New Sun over Sun Eater?
@@iSamwise I think so yes
@@thefantasynuttwork that’s fascinating. I’ll need to read book five and six of Sun Eater to say definitively, but I feel like I could reread BOTNS for years without ever getting bored. Idk if Sun Eater will hold up that way.
I haven’t read all of Infinite Jest. And the parts I read there was stuff I liked and disliked. (Will probably give it another shot at some point [maybe audio]).
That said, have you read DFW’s essays. That’s where he really shines. The Consider the Lobster collection is very good.
@@willden15 I haven’t but plan to
You just single handedly moved Red Rising much higher on my TBR because Code Geass is one of my favorite shows of all time. Also you pronounce geass as guh-E-os (like the os in Osten Ard)
Edit: I understand that questioning of “why” do we get up in the morning and I just want to say I wish you the best. I love the channel- in fact chatting with Nutts has been the core inspiration as to me wanting to start a book tube channel (which I am like 90% done with my preparations). I love seeing your connections and chats with others as someone who feels incred caged in terms of the people I can talk to with the same passion for reading.
@@CombativeRoboGuy I appreciate that very much, thank you!
Replay gang here, stellar content as always Jimmy! Congrats on beating the last boss of shadow of the erdtree by yourself, what a chad 😃 So, what’s your favorite souls game so far?
@@HenrikBrosveet Elden Ring has gotta be my fav honestly
@@thefantasynuttwork I think I'm there as well. After the dlc I started a new play through on PS5, new builds are just so fun. Also to comment on your last message here, keep on fighting Jimmy, some days it's hard to find meaning. But I hope this community you've built keeps you going :)
@@HenrikBrosveet thank you my friend
Note to self, become increasingly mean to Jimmy so he'll be easier on himself in comparison :)
@@thatsci-firogue it’s the right recipe lol
@@thefantasynuttwork stfu. This is my channel now, loser.
Was stuck working today - Saturday here in Australia. So watching after.
@@laurenm2111 have a good day!
You’re the man, Jimmy. Such a pleasure to listen to your streams
@@carlalbert6518 thanks so much!
