TOP 10 Books of ALL TIME (According to a Dude Who Reads)

I so appreciate how you discuss books concisely while providing enough information for to have something to go on. Thank you.

Very interesting list. It doesn’t follow a usual trend and for that it gave me exposure to some works that are new to me. Thanks for putting it together, I hope to comment once I have gone through some of those less common picks

Nice variety and happy you included Mazzuchelli's book. It's interesting how his style has radically changed from his Frank Miller Daredevil books like "Born Again" and "Batman Year One."

This was excellent. Thank you! I haven’t read all of these and will be adding them to my list. I LOVE Bourdain. I have read all his books. Hitchhikers guide are also fantastic and I can’t wait to read them to my kids one day. Reading a chapter of war and peace per day sounds totally doable! Currently reading the Iliad then the odyssey, then Tom Sawyer (with my kids for school). Looking for some books for myself. This list is a great inspiration.

I love "best" lists, particularly personal lists. Some of mine self-selected when I asked which books I've read more than once. Thanks for your contributions.

Your selections introduced me to some exciting new authors and reminded me to reread some of the oldies again. Please hold your book up longer, especially when you are introducing it to us. I write down your recommendations and often I struggled to actually know the names to facilitate writing them down. (author's names were difficult to write down when rushed)

Great video just started reading myself and it’s a bit overwhelming with how many countless books there are your channel is helpful so thanks!

Appreciate the variety of your choices, like serving delicatessens for sampling, satisfying my taste buds for the "unexpected" . Also impressed by your personal response to each comment, like "my Dinner with Andre", conversing with a friend cozily over good food n wine!

I too am somewhat obsessed with the 50s 60s Americana era. I'm always looking for books that take place in this time. James Elroy is definitely on my tbr list now ,thanks to you. I would love to hear of more that you've discovered from this era. Maybe another list?

"Kitchen Confidential" was a great read. Thanks for the tip. I knew nothing about Bourdain and it was a great introduction. Very entertaining.

Thanks for the list! Never heard of a Richler, and I love that you included a graphic novel! And what variety. Subscribed.

You've given me some wonderful material to enjoy in the coming months. I'll be looking forward to your reviews and judgments for 2024. Thanks for sharing.

I've read everything on your list except for The Big Nowhere and your #1! Gonna add them to my Goodreads. Thanks!

Excellent list; Now I need to go read The Big Nowhere . Thank you very much for making this video. Cheers 🤘

Great list. It’s nice to see another reader that enjoys a variety of genres and is open to new authors. I will be checking out some of these books on your list. Cheers

Thanks for sharing a very interesting and diverse top ten list of your favorite books. While the only book that is also on my personal top ten list (as of today, because like you my list can change from time to time) is Tolstoy's War and Peace. That having been said, I have read and admire some of the other books on your list including The Old Man and the Sea, Kafka on the Shore, and On the Road. I was fortunate to attend an exhibition of Kerouac memorabilia, here in Chicago, that included the original manuscript of his book. I will look forward to any future changes to your list based on your planned fiction reading project.

nice to see a (my home town) Montreal based story make a top 10 list! Mordecai Richler is greatly underrated on the international front! Thank you for taking the time to describe each book; I've now added a few to my TBR list!

So cool finally seeing someone else appreciating asterios polyp. Mazzuchelli’s changing style throughout the book is awesome. Have you read his adaptation of city of glass?

As soon as you brought up kitchen confidential I subscribed. I was not expecting that, and you perfectly described exactly how I felt about him and his passing. Well done 👍🏻

Love the diverse list. Good luck with your channel.
