Thanks for adding to the ol’ tbr bro - fantastic video 🎉

Interesting seeing such a diverse list!

I've been waiting for this one!!

I haven’t done my own top 10 yet (soon!), but we have a LOT of books in common. Thanks for the video!

Great list! Glad you're back making videos 🙌

Dang, Baron! Heck of a list. I’ve only read a couple of books on here, It, The Hobbit, and LOTR. I’ve been so excited to try some Barker, I’ve ignored your praises for him for too long. Great video my man.

Thank you!!!! I hope you enjoy it the second time around :)

Great list, dude. Only one book that overlaps with my list, but a lot that would probably be in my top 30ish, so I’m looking forward to reading those that I haven’t tried yet (starting with Lonesome Dove). As a side note: my favourite Steinbeck is Of Mice and Men. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a must (just keep the tissues handy).

Excellent list. I've read 6 of these and loved five, and I'm going to be reading East of Eden in July and Lonesome Dove in the fall. I own Blackwater too and your review has pushed it much higher on the tbr.

Thanks Kyle 🙏 I expect both to be a hit for you.

What a list! You've got some of my favorites here. I'm a big SF reader so of course high five for Dune (classic) and the whole Remembrance of the Earth's Past trilogy (mind-bending). "IT" is in my King top 3; best character work! Lonesome Dove pulled me from the first 'hot and dusty' page and I could not put it down. Amazing! Having said all that... I've never heard of Imajica! I'm definitely going to consider reading it at some point. Thanks 😃

I'm probably going to read Lonesome Dove this year and I'm really looking forward to it. Universally loved by all it seems. The Road would probably be in my top 10 as well. Imagica and Blackwater just went on my TBR, and I'm ashamed to say I've haven't read The Giver yet, but hopefully will get to that soon as well, since I'm going through a pretty big dystopian and post-apocalyptic phase.

Nice! You will have to give me the play by play thoughts when you read LD

At long last a great audio 👏👏👏 When I mention audio to certain channel runners they blame my computer...Ha ! You just proved them wrong and I thank you. Regards from the UK.

Great top 10! Wow, The Giver, I taught this book in Junior High School and it has stayed with me. I have heard so many amazing things about Lonesome Dove, added to my tbr. I have read three Michael McDowell novels and would love to get a physical copy of Blackwater. Unfortunately difficult to get hold of in South Africa so I might have to purchase this on my kindle. My wife and I have probably watched Lord of the Rings like 10 times. I absolutely adore Imajica but My choice for Clive Barker would be Weaveworld, perhaps because it is the second Barker book that I read and blew me away. Frikken awesome video and apologies for the essay.

Thanks Cliff!!!! Man, McDowell is tricky to get good copies of even in the states. It’s a shame. I love Weaveworld too or pretty much all Barker for that matter 🤣 thanks for watching

I love what you said about Clive Barker's Imajica. I haven't read anything by this author yet. Libby let me down so now I'm seeing if I can purchase without my wife finding out. lol Excellent list Barron.

I read No Country and Blood Meridian a few weeks ago and honestly neither have come close to The Road for me. Still some of the best books I've read all year though.

Won't argue with Death's End, also one of my favorite books of all time! The Giver also left a tremendous impression when I was a kid -- I really need to try some of these others, and I own It and Lonesome Dove and need to give those big boys a try!

He does mention genitals at random, though. Like King,. Not a complement.

i’ve read most books by stephen king but i though IT was not his best, imho the stand, salems are my favourites.

See Curator of the Lost. He has several Dune books to sell.

Read the novel “ The Way of the Corn”

Have you read summer of night?

Blackwater you say ;)

My question is have you read every book you would probably change your mind and how many genres are you talking because if you just read the publisher’s lists you are not giving any credence to your list

It is fine if you like peddo horror .....
