Great list, i love just doing it alphabetical rather than trying to order the top 10, i always struggle with that! The only star wars book ive read is Heir to the Emperor, Ill need to check out Traitor, what books would you consider essential reading leading up to it? The Fisherman makes my top 10 horror for sure, i think it may make my top 10 as well! Such a beautiful book. Great video!

Well, Traitor is book 13 in the 19 book series New Jedi Order, so it’s safe to say you’d have a lot of reading to do to catch up to it! That said, it’s an excellent series, so I’d highly recommend working your way through it once you’ve read some other Legends books

It helps that they’re pretty quick reads. Most of them are relatively short, since there are a lot of duologies within the series that are only around 300 pages or less per book I gotta check out Warhammer books sometime. I don’t know much about that setting but it seems very cool!

The Hobbit is great, and I enjoyed The Giver back when I read it in school. Should read it again someday Need to read Hunger Games and Red Rising someday. I’ve heard great things about both!

@@caleblikesbooks The Giver had a long lasting effect on me as a reader, we read it in 7th grade and it was the first time i've ever had an entire class of students really critically engage in a book and it felt pretty insane and got me deeper into reading at the time. Red Rising had me in an absolute choke hold. Hunger Games is just a good read imo- not written the best but I couldn't put it down for the life of me.

I get that, Stormlight does have some hefty books. Personally I like the length though, it really lets him fit in more character development and worldbuilding which I love
