I love reading a lot! It’s sad to see that the new generation doesn’t see that as well :( I used to read a lot of Geronimo Stilton’s books. Lately, I can’t even read one.
Your segment about annoying your parents by reading books instead of sleeping was my early childhood too. I remember my parents would tell me they can hear me turn my light on to read another book all night.
How big is your 'to read' pile at any one time? I always find that if I have more than 2, maybe 3 books to read at most, then I feel really overwhelmed and just end up reading really fast to get to the next book until the last few chapters where I then want to slow it down and will sometimes avoid the book just to make it last in my head for longer. I loved fanfic for a long time 15-24 yo. And now, I love secret relationships/lives from any era, and murder or fostering books the most.
@@extrememinimalism I'm one of those controversial readers that usually has 3 books on the go at a time 😂 I 100% get what you mean about the reading list seeming too daunting/distracting though. I think you might like What Lies Between Us by John Marrs 📖
I took a gap year befor my masters and this year I came back to uni, and found it impossible to focus. I coudn't study at all. Before that I tried many times to limite my screen time, but I'd always came back to scrolling. This time I stuck to it and I can finally focus and read books (
I think probably Dune was my favorite series, beautifully written. The story of the Silo series was gripping and I really enjoyed it but didn't come close to Dune in terms of writing. Other honourable mentions has to be American Gods and one hundred years of solitude. What about you?
@@extrememinimalism nonfiction I like business books (personal MBA, lean marketing) and fiction I really like sci-fi/ fantasy (Dune, Silo, red rising). I'll read anything though if it seems interesting. Recently I've started reading kingpin which is a true story about the dark web and the silk road but almost written like a fiction book.
@@JoeMambrodi hi there, I don't really read those genres, but I'd recommend Legends and Lattes if you like a cosy fantasy. If you want a book that might change you perspective on things, might I suggest Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. I loved the writing style and the way the story was build. (You might want to check some content warnings, though). Another one I love is a collection of short stories; "Send N*des" by Saba Sams (hope yt doesn't flag that oops). Again, writing is great (also again, maybe check content warnings). Both these books focus pretty heavily on the female experience is different situations. This is the first video of yours that I've come across, so I hope I guessed the vibes right and you might be interested in those topics too. (If not, apologies, I'll pack my bags and leave haha).
Yesssss Joe !!it’s that damn phone !!!

@@Epicgamer_7999 Wow Geronimo Stilton brings back a lot of memories for me! 🧀
@@JoeMambrodi oooo a fan perhaps?

Mine used to say that too! Crazy how they could hear the light switch but then couldn't hear me sneak out as a teenager hahaha

What is your favorite fictional book?
I think probably Dune was my favorite series, beautifully written. The story of the Silo series was gripping and I really enjoyed it but didn't come close to Dune in terms of writing.
Other honourable mentions has to be American Gods and one hundred years of solitude.
What about you?

Geronimo Stilton, Pokémon Adventures.
