Excellent to hear about your top ten, Al! 1984 is a book everyone should read. I’m in complete agreement with you when it comes to that opening to The Fellowship of the Ring, which serves to endear hobbits and the Shire to us and immerse us in Middle-earth.

I hoped you might back me up on that one 😅

Awesome video mate! Lord of the Rings will definitely be in my top ten. I need to give Dune a re-read as an adult. I own War And Peace but I am daunted by its size. Maybe one day. I will start reading Game Of Thrones soon.

Nice 😎 Like War and Peace starting A Sing of Ice and Fire can definitely be daunting.

I'm with you in that Fellowship is my favorite of the three LOTR books! This was a great list, although some of these authors we have different #1s. Thanks for the list!

Fellowship for the win 🥳. I can guess which those are. I think I have an unusual taste in books 🫣.

Great list mate. I hate hardcover books but that copy of dune and the two sequels they do in that series are really nice, i may have to grab them just for the shelf

They are a bit of a guilty treat 😬

This is a great top 10. GOT & LOTR as a whole are incredible. It’s funny bc my husband has that copy of the Watchmen and told me to read it. I’ve had it sitting out for a while and now I’m taking this as a sign that I need to get to it soon.

I’d take his advice and give it a look 👍

They are large but definitely worth it

Have you read Animal Farm by Orwell? I can’t remember if it was in your top 100. I find that more chilling than 1984 in some ways as it has a fairytale like surface level.
@bigaldoesbooktube10974 ай бұрын
No I haven’t actually and despite owning a copy I hadn’t put it into any of my TBRs yet. Something for me to look forward to for sure.

I'm not sure how I missed this video, some really interesting choices. personally I can never split the 3 LOTRs books so I cheat and count them as one 😁. I've not readn 1984 since I was at school, not even sure I own a copy. I may have to reread it. I've always personally loved Animal Farm which is my go to Orwell book.

I think I am probably doing LoTr a disservice counting it as three books so I will count it as one when I revise this in about 18 months. 1984 is great but like many books on my top 100 video is in need of another re-read.

Pretty hard to argue against anything on this top ten. Your taste in books is impeccable! Great choice for #1, obviously.
@bigaldoesbooktube10974 ай бұрын
Thanks Mike 👍 I knew I could count on you to defend LoTr 🫡

war and peace is the most overrated piece of fiction ever. besides, tolstoy meant "world" by the word that was translated as "peace"
