    I feel like this book was written in a snit. Delany was looking out his window at crime, gay men being beaten and killed, black men being beaten and killed, and everything kind of overlaid with this type of moral condemnation which blamed the victims for being somehow morally sick. And what Delany seems to have done is say, "Oh, yeah? You think we're sick and immoral? Try this on for size!" It's a breathtaking literary tantrum.

    This is an idea that has been doing the rounds of Booktube, I am watching your video because Benjamin of Benjamin's BookClub was inspired by you to do his own video on the topic. I also saw that Jack Edwards did this a couple of years ago and he too had "Natives" by Akala in his top 10. Benjamin also found that Manga rated highly and discounted them from his video. I think it is true as you say for series, sequels will inevitably have higher ratings, as the people who stay with the series are more invested in the characters and the story, I looked at my own Goodreads and the highest book with multiple ratings is The Hunted, which is the 18th book in a series (I haven't read the other 17 but imagine most of the other raters would have). Like you, I found the books I've read about Auschwitz like Kitty Hart's 'Return to Auschwitz' (4.55) were highly rated.

    I read The Eagle Has Landed back in the late '90s and thought it was great. I also enjoy Higgins' Sean Dillon series. Since you like action adventure books, be sure to check out my series, The Patriot Chronicles featuring Matt Devon (The Devon Proposition, The Devon Intervention and The Devon Acquisition). Take care and God bless.

    How big alcohol gets a pass and big tobacco doesn't is beyond me. Its obviously a contributor to dementia. Companies like Minhas distilleries profit from selling cheap low quality poison to all of us. They produce an extremely cheap 45% vodka that only alcoholics and college kids drink. Pioneers in the growing ultra cheap beer/hard spirits category. She's like a hero up here in Canada, even appointed as an Honorary Colonel. A slap in the face to all the men and women that served and now suffer from alcoholism and PTSD.

    Actually, you can still buy the Gialli Mondadori as of today. They're still publishing them. It's among the oldest popular "collane" still going on, along with Urania (always Mondadori) which publishes mainly Sci-Fi novels (and has traditional white cover).

    I didn’t know you were from Brighton. I got to visit there in 1986 (took a double decker down from Surrey) with my English penpal. Her mom now lives down there. I do hope to get back to England in next few years and re-visit some of the places. It’s my favorite country to visit! Guess that’s why I love your channel aside from the horror books. PS: I really enjoy Bentley Little. He’s from my hometown (Fullerton, CA). Have a great weekend Olly!

    only good book by Moore is Words of Fire, he's not as good a novelist as comic book writer, I'm surprised you've not read Les Miserable, I read it a long time ago when I had no money for books other than cheap classic editions, a great story which has been ripped off repeatedly

    I find it a little funny that some people can dismiss extreme horror just forgettable because there's nothing psychological about it. When it comes to me I don't care about horror book\movies characters because they're just disposable for me what staya with me is the gruesome nature of the kills that they go through or the off the walls that are exposed on these books. but I will say I wish they had all this but be just 25% more realistic I mean at least give the killer depth but as for the victim s I don't care about them or the dumb mistakes they make that lead them to the circumstances they put themselves in. Give me brilliant killer, one that can be Relatable Can you find yourself agree What the things that he does, That sticks with you and not like Dexter, that's just lame, but someone who dose terrible things because they enjoy the screams and control.

    Have you heard of an author called Adam M Booth? I don't hear many people talking about him, but the two things I have read by him I've really liked. One is a novella called 'Angela' and the other is a short story called 'The end.' I can recommend both of them :). 'The end' is an interesting one because it's a zombie story but told from the perspective of the zombie.

    i had a similar experience when i read fanny hill this year, for a while i was shocked at the contents but by the fith description of "the act" i had grown cold and just wanted to finish the 200 pages. i did like how, in a book from 1748, they were still critical of the manliness of "modern" men, - he made me fully sensible of the virtues of his firm texture of limbs, his square shoulders, broad chest, compact hard muscles, in short a system of manliness that might pass for no bad image of our ancient sturdy barons, when they wielded the battle−ax: whose race is now so thoroughly refin'd and frittered away into the more delicate and modern−built frame of our pap−nerv'd softlings, who are as pale, as pretty, and almost as masculine as their sisters. things never change lol!

    I'm almost done reading You'd Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I was afraid it was going to be an over-the-top, campy villain story, but it's been a nice read. I like the honesty/bluntness of the character, even if I don't really like the character or what she does, at least she's honest about why she does it.
