Love seeing ya! And the 31 days of King is great! As always, read House of Leaves!!! And maybe some Discworld too... Guards! Guards! is absolutely fantastic!
Have you ever read any John Saul? He's similar to Stephen King but is an author I rarely see mentioned by readers. I love his books - quick horror reads that have stayed with me over a decade later. I started reading him in High School... sure kept me up a few nights back then! But even then, I found his books enjoyable - and short! He doesn't have any tomes like King but I kinda like that.
Yes love this ❤❤❤❤ been waiting for this video 😊 im currently reading desperation also I read it when I'm in the mood for it 😊 the sheriff is completely unhinged
What timing. I just started reading though Misery. And idk if this has ever been mentioned on your channel but it would be cool if you started a book club on discord with your subscribers!
Desperation is the first King book I ever read. Back in 2000. The hardcover art is what got me to read. Loved the book. and Regulators was an amazing companion
I’ve been waiting for you to do this video for SO LONG omg I can’t wait to watch it (yes lol I wrote this before watching), but I’m sure I’m going to LOVE this video!
Still enjoyed the video despite the lack of progress you felt you made. I was a big fan of King as a teenager but it's been years since I've read his work. This is making me think about giving him another go. Thanks!
Fun video. I always enjoy hearing about Stephen King books I haven’t read. He is truly a literary genius. Also, go Vikes! We are having a good season so far.
I appreciate the honesty and how you do 24 hour videos. Doing 24 hours videos and actually staying up that long is so unhealthy. Also, just putting this out there again I would really love a Stephen King video where you read all of the books that are connected to the dark Tower series I think that would be so much fun, but it would take a lot. It would be like a year-long process honestly
I’m new and have been binging and freakin love your channel!!!! I figure you’ve answered this in a previous video I haven’t yet seen, but are you ever going to read wheel of time?
I saw on one of your other videos you said you love rock and heavy metal. That said, I was wondering if you have ever read 'Kings of the Wyld'? If not, I highly recommend! Also, I love your videos and hope to one day build up the courage to start my own booktube channel sharing and discussing a similar variety of genres as yourself.
I've read IT by King and decided that maybe he wasn't for me, but your channel singlehandedly changed my mind to give him another chance. Let's read The Stand! Jkjk, not that commited yet, maybe I'll pick up Misery or something.
Awesome video, loved the production on this one! Stephen King is one of my favourites, I loved 'The Stand'. I have 'Billy Summers' to read this year. I sent over John Gwynes 'Bloodsworn Saga' for you, enjoy and keep doing what you're doing brother!
I love Stephen king my favourite author of all time love him and your amazing channel prayers and thoughts for you and your wife love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
I've read over 20 Stephen King books, and Desperation & The Regulators were both hard for me to get through! Those just weren't for me. I still need to read Bag Of Bones. Great video!
When I saw you starting with Desperation I honestly thought that was going to be the only book you were going to get to read any of, even without a 4 hour “nap”. This was still very impressive 🙂
Hey Ian! Will you ever do shorter book reviews? I’d love to hear your opinions on books that you’ve read (according to Goodreads) but I can’t find videos on them I.e. Empire of Silence, Mistborn, etc.
I don’t normally do dedicated book review videos. Every three months I do a large wrap up where I talk about all the books I’ve read in that three month period. They’re usually titled like: “I Read 20 Books For This Video…”
It'd be cool if you invested more into the world of horror books. Stephen King is great do not get me wrong but there are some awesome authors out there that write amazing horror. Ronald Malfi is one of them. I highly recommend you reading Bone White by him. Or if you are more into Thriller I recommend Come With me by him. I love horror books and to see someone just think of Stephen King as a horror author makes me sad.
Thanks for the other author recommends. I'm constantly trying to expand my genre & author. Ian also appreciates Kings other genre's if you meant that "someone" to be him.
funfact , your reading king for a moths short series made download a bunch of his books on my kindle , doing a chronological read , or attempting to , because damn i get sick or scared or anxious easy , carrie made me anxious for the better part of the day after i finished it starting salem lot soon anyways thanks man
I don’t if seen beetle juice beetle juice yet but I thought you’d like crime and punishment makes an appearance in the movie and one of the characters apparently even quotes a line from the book.
I am 60 years old and have been a massive Stephen king fan for as long as I remember, have read and re-read everything so many times.. but desperation and the regulators were totally not for me.. read once and never again .. perhaps I will attempt a reread soon, but!then again, there are so many other books that I want to read more!!
As a Stephen King fan, there are certain books that I couldn't stand continue reading them (looking at Needful Things while writing this) and some that I forced myself to read like Insomnia and Black House that I would've dnfed if they didn't have a strong convention to the Dark Tower series, so don't feel bad if you dnf a book by one of the best American authors. Other than certain books, Stephen King is defiantly one of my favorite authors in the world, and there are other worlds than these. 🔫🌹
You did well in 24 hrs. Desperation I read in the nineties and the regulators. Desperation was the better of the two but in my opinion bag of bones is better than them both.
I know that you regularly both read and listen to a book. What I find interesting is that you're not using Amazon which allows you to do an audio upgrade for pretty cheap. That's what I do. However, I'd rather just read a physical book. I was wondering if you're buying a physical book and then an audiobook at full Audible price? Just looking for ideas.
I usually get audiobooks for free via the Libby app or find one on RUclips. I also have a monthly subscription to Libro.fm (which is an audiobook/other media app). It’s like Audible in a way, only part of your monthly payment goes to a local, independent bookstore of your choosing
Reading Stephen King has always been on my to-do list, but honestly, I've no idea where to start. Any recommendations on which book to read as a tester/intro to him as an author? Which book got you hooked?
Honestly, staring at the very beginning with”Carrie” would be your best bet. If you want some extra recs, go to Red Fury Books’ channel - he has a phenomenal Stephen King guide! I started with the “Dark Tower” series (wouldn’t recommend if you’re just starting out). The book that got me hooked for good was “IT”
Didn’t hate this video at all! What in your opinion is the scariest SK book; or, what is the scariest book you’ve read? And when I say scariest, I mean like you had to sleep in your parent’s bed for three weeks after you read it. See what I’m getting at? I want to read a real fxxxing scary book. I don’t get scared easily. Please help me out!
You are the reason I wanted to read any Stephen King book. I asked my bestfriend if she had one and Lucky me she had one book (IT the one with pennywise from 2017)
You should do a video rating all the stephen king books youve read so far
yes !
Good job. You’re allowed to dnf
Love seeing ya! And the 31 days of King is great!
As always, read House of Leaves!!!
And maybe some Discworld too... Guards! Guards! is absolutely fantastic!
Love the Stephen king videos!! Would love more 24h Stephen king reading ❤
HECK YEAAAAAAH THE FREAKIN' MAN PROVIDETH YET AGAIN! LOVE YOU MY MAN

a great short read by stephen king is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. its about a girl who gets lost in the woods. nice and spooky
Yes! A Stephen King 24-hour read! They do take soooo long to read though at times, currently 2 months into IT and still 50% to go! Fabulous reviews ❤
You can drift in and out all you want. Just don’t…float away. 😂
😳😱
Enjoyed your energy as usual!
Yes love this ❤❤❤❤ been waiting for this video 😊 im currently reading desperation also I read it when I'm in the mood for it 😊 the sheriff is completely unhinged
Haha you deserve a rest! Well done! I enjoyed so much watching you pushing through this! I know you suffered but the video was so cozy 🥹
Always eagerly awaiting a post from Ian!
I was hoping you were going to read doctor sleep! Been dying to know your thoughts on that
Doctor Sleep coming soon😏
Love Stephen King, great video!! 📖
What timing. I just started reading though Misery. And idk if this has ever been mentioned on your channel but it would be cool if you started a book club on discord with your subscribers!
Desperation & Regulators both have been on my tbr. I'm so excited to start them
Desperation is the first King book I ever read. Back in 2000. The hardcover art is what got me to read. Loved the book. and Regulators was an amazing companion
I’ve been waiting for you to do this video for SO LONG omg I can’t wait to watch it (yes lol I wrote this before watching), but I’m sure I’m going to LOVE this video!
Suprising us with bangers as always❤
So underrated booktuber
Still enjoyed the video despite the lack of progress you felt you made. I was a big fan of King as a teenager but it's been years since I've read his work. This is making me think about giving him another go. Thanks!
Love the vlog! 🎉
Fun video. I always enjoy hearing about Stephen King books I haven’t read. He is truly a literary genius. Also, go Vikes! We are having a good season so far.
Great video, love SK and always happy to see any content covering him.
yessss this is what i’ve been waiting for 👏👏👏👏

Awesome video! I’m always pumped when you drop a new video!
Excited for this it’s been awhile!!
Love your videos. Keep them coming!!
I’m new and have been binging and freakin love your channel!!!! I figure you’ve answered this in a previous video I haven’t yet seen, but are you ever going to read wheel of time?
Welcome!!! I plan on reading WoT sometime, but I couldn’t tell you when😂
we needed some SK!
I saw on one of your other videos you said you love rock and heavy metal. That said, I was wondering if you have ever read 'Kings of the Wyld'? If not, I highly recommend! Also, I love your videos and hope to one day build up the courage to start my own booktube channel sharing and discussing a similar variety of genres as yourself.
Insomnia is my all time favorite and I have read every King book he’s written so far.
I've read IT by King and decided that maybe he wasn't for me, but your channel singlehandedly changed my mind to give him another chance. Let's read The Stand! Jkjk, not that commited yet, maybe I'll pick up Misery or something.
Misery was great!! Read it at 15 and LOVED it, one of kings best books
I’d recommend “The Walk” “Cujo” and “The Shining” his best works
In my opinion
Awesome video, loved the production on this one! Stephen King is one of my favourites, I loved 'The Stand'. I have 'Billy Summers' to read this year.
I sent over John Gwynes 'Bloodsworn Saga' for you, enjoy and keep doing what you're doing brother!
THANK YOI SO MUCH!! That was such a delightful surprise!!
@@iangubeli Truly no thanks needed! I really enjoy the videos, and the wonderful community you are creating! You deserve it my friend.
The movie for Desperation was filmed down the road from me. Some things seen from the road freaked us all out until we knew about the filming 😅
Love this!!!
TAK.
I don’t know how it’s going to get even more wild….. lol 😂 famous last words
I love Stephen king my favourite author of all time love him and your amazing channel prayers and thoughts for you and your wife love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
I've read over 20 Stephen King books, and Desperation & The Regulators were both hard for me to get through! Those just weren't for me. I still need to read Bag Of Bones. Great video!

Bag of bones is my absolute favourite ghost story
Sorry. Siblings are now not siblings but spouses?! The Regulators sound wild
Loved the video, mate!
The only book of him I read is Carrie, but I also got The Shining for the end of this month around spooky time. Looking forward to it.

Another banger, sir. Wrapping up IT over this next week! I’m not sure which King book I should try next 🤔
Pet Semetary or The Shining!!
@@iangubeli I think I’ll check out Pet Semetary next then! I hear it’s even more scary, when you’re a parent. Just what I need 😂
funfact , your reading king for a moths short series made download a bunch of his books on my kindle , doing a chronological read , or attempting to , because damn i get sick or scared or anxious easy , carrie made me anxious for the better part of the day after i finished it
starting salem lot soon
anyways thanks man
I'm jealous that these books are your first time reading these gems. Enjoy. My favorites are The Stand, It, and Dark Tower series.
@surpriseitsus9622 thanks ! I will make sure to savor them !
I just finished Salem’s lot like a week ago. It’s a good book 😊. They also made a new movie on HBO Max if you’re interested :).
I don’t if seen beetle juice beetle juice yet but I thought you’d like crime and punishment makes an appearance in the movie and one of the characters apparently even quotes a line from the book.
Ian you should do a video about your short reviews and ranking the Stephen King books
Nonono I need to finish misery before watching you read misery……be right back! Lol
Ooooooo sneaky!! I see what you did there!😂
Personally I felt like bag of bone really fell apart at the end. I really liked the first 600 pages but ended up DNFing it 50 pages away from the end.
I loved bag of bones, one of his best if you ask me
Third time asking please Ian read The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey !!! Also this is a great video 🫶
I am 60 years old and have been a massive Stephen king fan for as long as I remember, have read and re-read everything so many times.. but desperation and the regulators were totally not for me.. read once and never again .. perhaps I will attempt a reread soon, but!then again, there are so many other books that I want to read more!!
WOOOOOO!!
You should try the book thief by Marcus Zusak
It was wholesome and sad at the same time the relationships the war the world
I’m amazed he can sleep after reading Steven king and not have night mares .
At least you tried! That’s a lot to read in 24 hours.
As a Stephen King fan, there are certain books that I couldn't stand continue reading them (looking at Needful Things while writing this) and some that I forced myself to read like Insomnia and Black House that I would've dnfed if they didn't have a strong convention to the Dark Tower series, so don't feel bad if you dnf a book by one of the best American authors. Other than certain books, Stephen King is defiantly one of my favorite authors in the world, and there are other worlds than these. 🔫🌹
I also gave up on The Regulators lol and Bag of Bones is one of my least favorite King books 😬
You did well in 24 hrs. Desperation I read in the nineties and the regulators. Desperation was the better of the two but in my opinion bag of bones is better than them both.

I started book two in the Dark Tower series!
One of the best ones! Excited for you to get to Wizard & Glass
love to hear youŕ opinion about thos ebooks
please read: HEX 👻 by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
the Dutch Stephen King.
and make a video of it.
Omg I haven’t been this early ever! I love Stephen king btw he’s my favorite
So when you’re wearing headphones, are you listening to music? Instrumental, something with words? I’ve never tried it. Just wondering if it helps.
You should read (Haunting Adeline) 💀
Just the video I was looking for. Love your whole Stephen King October series :D
YES! Desperation is one of my favourites! Absolutely loved it! Tak
Not sure but have you read the Bazaar of Bad Dreams short stories?
It’s in the list!!
You should try reading books by author James Patterson
Reading Stephen King has always been on my to-do list, but honestly, I've no idea where to start. Any recommendations on which book to read as a tester/intro to him as an author? Which book got you hooked?

@@iangubeli Thankyou so much for the advice.Looks like I'm adding "Carrie" to my TBR
Bag of Bones definitely won’t be one of the greatest ghost stories you’ve ever read
Have you read any of Joe Hills books?
Not yet. I had my eye on “The Black Phone”🤔
I'm looking to read NOS4A2 heard it's really good
😅 Will it be different if you have read Regulators First then Desperation?
I don’t think so! Either one will introduce you to the main cast.
Didn’t hate this video at all!
What in your opinion is the scariest SK book; or, what is the scariest book you’ve read? And when I say scariest, I mean like you had to sleep in your parent’s bed for three weeks after you read it. See what I’m getting at? I want to read a real fxxxing scary book. I don’t get scared easily. Please help me out!
This is such a good idea to do for spooky season!! At this point, how many Stephen King books have you read from his whole collection?
28 so far!!
Not again 😢
Bro actually said Nevada right 👀
"I dot dot dot for 24 HOURS!!" . Congratulations on scraping the bottom of the RUclips barrel.
You are the reason I wanted to read any Stephen King book.
I asked my bestfriend if she had one and Lucky me she had one book (IT the one with pennywise from 2017)
