Hi, I'm Shane.

You might know me for reading

Reddit stories on the internet, but did you also know that I read.. books?

That's right.

I've read a couple over the years, and I figured I'd take some time to talk to you about reading,

and some of my favorite books give you some recommendations.

I actually have heard over the years that the average person barely reads a book a year, and whenever I've talked about books,

people often comment and say that they want to get into reading, but it's scary, and they try, but they lose focus, and I understand that.

Reading is daunting, and there's so much cool content out there.

Why would you waste dozens of hours reading one of these?

One of these things, huh?

Anyways, I'm going to try to convince you today, so let's begin.

I wanted to start by saying that I actually hated reading when I was a kid.

I didn't read a single book, I think, until I was like 17.

I would just lie about it in school.

I had to do a book report on little house in the prairie

and i didn't actually open the book up

i i didn't even read the back i don't think i got like a 40 though

which is it was kind of impressive i think

there was a question on the assignment of like what did the family do about the bear

and i think my answer was just they shot it oh my god

and that was wrong i think

that was incorrect i don't know i never read the book

i truly hated reading it just felt like it was

so much pressure and i do think when people talk about books they talk

so much about how reading is good for you how you should do it for productivity reasons

and I'm actually a little against that

because it makes it feel like work it makes it sound not fun

so I'm here to talk to you about how reading is fun

and it's a good time now

when I was in high school I was doing remote learning

because I was a child actor and I realized I wasn't remotely learning anything

and I got really scared of being stupid

so I started reading as many books as possible and I I still ended up stupid,

but I found a hobby that I love in the process.

So the rumors about you being homeschooled are not true?

No. Well, I mean, I was homeschooled in high school.

I was remote learning, so I was going to a place where a teacher would give me, like, packets.

And then I would take those packets home and fill those out.

Oftentimes, I didn't, I didn't, they weren't checking them.

I could put whatever I wanted in those.

But I wasn't reading any books at all.

There was no required, like, reading.

And that scared me, because I was like, oh no, what if I go to college and I don't know what I'm doing?

But in the process, I really learned that I love books.

What got me into books is what I think I would recommend for people who are trying to get into reading,

which is simple, clear, plot -focused books.

The best example of this is young adult fiction, which transcends young adults, by the way.

What I got into at first was Aragon, the books that were written by a 14 -year -old.

Really?

He was 14 when he wrote the first book.

And they're really good.

I didn't finish the series.

It's not a critique.

It's something that I have realized about Aragon that I can't unsee, which is that it is the plot of Star Wars beat for beat,

which is fine because Star Wars is the hero's journey.

Hero's journey, by the way, is you have a main character who is in a place of comfort or routine, and then they're thrust into adventure.

They usually meet like a wise master or something who teaches them some wisdom.

They face their challenge, and then in the end of it all, they return back to the beginning having been changed.

So many books follow this or have elements of it.

It's kind of hard to unsee once you once you know it.

Another one I read was Golden Compass, which is insane.

Dude, it gets crazier.

This isn't a spoiler.

The overall plot of the Golden Compass is that they fight God.

I'm not kidding.

I haven't read it since I was a teenager, but that's that's the plot.

It has one of my favorite endings to any book series ever.

The final book ends in a way that's so perfectly bittersweet.

Ah, chef's kiss.

Anyways, what I think is the best young adult series of all time is, obviously, The Hunger Games.

It perfectly encapsulates a massive world with great characters, great relationships, has incredible societal critique,

and it encompasses it all in a matter of just 300 pages, which I think is very impressive.

And it's just genuinely such a great series.

I think it's really, really solid for a large general audience.

So it's a great recommendation to start with.

I have not read the third book.

I read the first two.

I fell off.

This was forever ago.

And it's been on my to -be -read for ever.

I'm going to get to it.

But a part of me also likes knowing that one of the best book series out there I've yet to read.

It's kind of the same with like

Lord of the Rings.

Questions?

Wait, wait.

I saw the movies.

But do I still need to read the books if I saw the movies?

I think, yeah, the books have some different elements.

I've only seen the first two movies.

Oh, wow.

When I watched the first movie, I remember there were some things that had changed.

And I was like, hmm, they changed that.

I don't know how I feel about it.

The movies rock, though.

Okay, other types of books that I think are good for getting into reading are memoirs.

They're always very clear, very precise, easy to follow along with, and usually very gripping as well.

A recent one that I read that is probably my favorite is...

100

I'm glad my mom died by Jeanette McCurdy.

101

Now, I had a lot of impersonal investment in that book.

102

References the episode of Sam and Cat that I was in.

103

But it's very, very intense.

104

Just really good.

105

There's a lot of great memoirs out there.

106

So if there's a memoir by someone that you relate to or fascinated by, it's a great place to start.

107

And then also I'll throw out short stories.

108

Short stories, I think, don't get enough love.

109

There's a lot of great horror short stories online, obviously, with creepypastas and everything.

110

A lot of great short stories probably on fanfic website.

111

Lastly, before I move on, I wanna say the best book to get into reading is the one you wanna read, no matter what it is.

112

Unless it's Mr. Beast's book.

113

Maybe not that.

114

Cause Mr. Beast didn't write it.

115

And neither did James Patterson.

116

I don't know who wrote it.

117

I hope they're doing well.

118

Is it AI?

119

If AI wrote a book, then I'm against it.

120

I usually try to be like, read all books, read as many books as possible, every kind of book.

121

AI books, no. Hey, look, it's one of my first YouTube videos.

122

I'm taking an early stance against AI.

123

Yeah.

124

Thank you.

125

Thank you.

126

Yeah.

127

Thank you.

128

Thank you.

129

Okay.

130

How I'm going to keep moving with this is to just talk about genres.

131

Keep it a little organized because I'm just going to start ranting about books here.

132

We're going to start with fantasy and sci -fi.

133

Start particularly with fantasy, which is one of my favorites.

134

I think it's a favorite of a lot of people's.

135

Now, my first fantasy series that I ever really delved into was, of course, Game of Thrones.

136

Pretty proud of having one of these old editions here.

137

I read this a long time ago before the TV series even started, something I'm pretty proud about.

138

I remember being on a plane when the crazy thing in book one happens.

139

Okay, if you don't know what I'm talking about, if you haven't watched

140

Game of Thrones, I'm not going to spoil it for you,

141

but a crazy thing happens in season one and I had nobody to talk to about it.

142

I was the only one reading it at the time

143

i still am obsessed with these books they do what i love most in a fantasy series

144

which is there's still an air of mystery to the fantasy some fantasy books a lot of high fantasy

145

they delve into the rules

146

so much they explain the fantasy elements of the world in such depth

147

that it no longer feels like fantasy to me

148

but i think george r martin does a great job of

149

that right it's a world where the people in that world don't believe in the fantasy elements of it

150

And I like that.

151

So it's still one of my favorites.

152

Unfortunately, it's never going to be finished.

153

The last one was published, like, back when I was on So Random, when I was 19.

154

He's been saying he's been working on the next book ever since.

155

But it's not showing up.

156

And I just have to accept that.

157

Which is weird, because it's actually kind of a common thing with fantasy series.

158

Same with another series called Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

159

He also wrote the first two books and then kind of dropped off and he's done with it.

160

Another instance is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.

161

He had been writing them his whole life, right?

162

He'd written, like, I think it was, like, 20 books.

163

And then he passed away before the final books could come out.

164

Another author, I think it was Brandon Sanderson, picked up and did the final couple books and finished it off.

165

And people were happy with how it ended.

166

But that happens a lot.

167

I do want to shout out Brandon Sanderson.

168

I've read his book series Mistborn, which does rock.

169

He has another one called The Stormlight Archive that people say is, like, the best.

170

I really appreciate that guy because he pumps out books like it's nobody's business.

171

He writes like two or three a year, I feel like.

172

Maybe I'm wrong.

173

He's written a ton of books.

174

He keeps them coming.

175

If you like fantasy, you probably have already read him, but...

176

Okay.

177

Uh, what else do we got here?

178

Oh!

179

The Lies of Locke Lamora.

180

So much fantasy takes on the backstory of like a very noble type of hero, right?

181

This, on the other hand, follows kind of more of a roguish thief.

182

This feels more like

183

Ocean's Eleven in a fantasy context.

184

It has a part where they infiltrate like a massive bank, and it is one of my favorite heist,

185

infiltration, thieving moments in any movie, TV show, or book ever.

186

You follow him step by step as he infiltrates this building, and it is so cool.

187

What I'm currently reading that I'm obsessed with is The Adventures of Amina al -Sarafi.

188

This follows a former pirate who's now, I think she's like a middle -aged woman.

189

She has a daughter, but she's called back out to sea to find some crazy stuff out there.

190

I don't want to spoil too much because I'm obsessed with it.

191

This taps into a bunch of Middle Eastern myth and folklore.

192

I'm not too versed on that, so I'm coming across all these mythical beings and djinn.

193

Really, really thrilling stuff.

194

And then probably the most popular right now, Dungeon Crawler Carl.

195

The only way I can describe this book is that it genuinely will strain your imagination.

196

It is so wacky.

197

It is Hunger Games meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

198

I do think it has potential to make a better TV show than it is a book series.

199

And it's a great book series, but I'm really excited to see what it's gonna look like on the screen.

200

It also could be a huge disappointment like any book series turned into a TV show or movie.

201

I think this book series really shows that you can write a book about anything, that there are no rules, there's no laws.

202

Every page, he does something brand new and you're like, all right, yeah.

203

Okay, you can do that.

204

Also, if you're reading it, I recommend also checking out the audiobook.

205

It is probably the best audiobook I've ever heard.

206

I enjoy both physically reading it and listening to the audiobooks.

207

Some people think one is better than the other.

208

What's that, Courtney?

209

Some people think audiobooks aren't as cool as not like reading real books.

210

I think you shouldn't listen to those people.

211

Audiobooks, they count.

212

Thank you.

213

Thank you, they count.

214

I get tired of when people talk about what books count

215

or which ones don't i think this gets back into

216

that like optimization culture of like you

217

if you're not doing books the right way you're wasting your time

218

there's no wrong way to read a book thank you thank you on

219

that note really quick i want to take a quick detour

220

and talk about graphic novels

221

because that's another thing where people debate on it does it count

222

or not my favorite graphic novel of all time is this one it's called rusty brown more

223

so it's my favorite graphic novel author

224

His name is Chris Ware.

225

All of his books really are just about mundane, regular people.

226

It feels like nothing happens in any of his books.

227

And because of that, I feel like there is so much going on in a weird way.

228

Anyways, graphic novels rock.

229

Sci -fi.

230

Fantasy and sci -fi get put in the same category, which is extremely silly because I think they are, they're literally polar opposites.

231

I think fantasy, in my experience, takes inner feelings and puts them into a big outer context.

232

I think an example of this is like, you know, how

233

Lord of the Rings is about temptation, right?

234

It's about power.

235

So it creates this world to highlight and show that.

236

Whereas sci -fi is supposed to take real world elements

237

and real world possibilities and explore those and have some sort of societal critique, right?

238

A lot of dystopian novels are sci -fi in this way, right?

239

You have 1984, Hunger Games is sci -fi, because you watch those movies, and yes, it's a made -up world,

240

but it's a world that we relate to in so many ways, and it is critiquing real elements, and it's going, what if this happens?

241

What if we take this real possibility and see it?

242

Sci -fi, I think, does so much incredible stuff.

243

Now, I've not read who many people consider to be the greatest sci -fi author, which is Octavia Butler.

244

I have A Parable of the Sower on my To Be Read, so when I do read that, I'll let you know what I think.

245

But another great is Ursula K.

246

Le Guin, who did both fantasy and sci -fi.

247

Her probably most famous sci -fi one is Left Hand of Darkness.

248

It presents a very interesting world where an ambassador from like an intergalactic community of planets,

249

whatever, gets sent to a planet where the people there don't have gender in the same way we do.

250

Their gender is fluid.

251

It poses so many questions about gender and sexuality, and I think it's really profound.

252

It was really fascinating it feels like it could have been published today

253

and it would be incredibly poignant now i don't have most of the books

254

that i've read over the years i've lent them out

255

or you know given them away i'm sad about

256

that to a degree i was wanting to build a collection for a long time

257

but when i had to move apartments i realized how shitty it was to move books books are heavy they're

258

so heavy you don't realize how heavy they are until you put them in a box

259

and you're trying to move them upstairs

260

so i started getting rid of a lot of books

261

and i'm sad because i didn't keep a record of all the books i've read

262

so if there's a book you recommend for me uh comment down below

263

and i will reply back if i've read that book

264

and i'll let you know what i think because there's a ton

265

that i'm not covering in this uh in this video some other great sci -fi novels

266

we talk about hard sci -fi

267

which is really trying to stick to the rules of science i do think three body problem is my personal favorite.

268

It is insane.

269

It covers so much ground in the span of three books.

270

Basically what happens if we contact an alien species who has malicious intentions

271

but it's going to take them 500 years to get to earth so we have 500 years to prepare to fight back.

272

It has so much crazy stuff.

273

The second book has a really weird b -plot.

274

That's all I'm going to say.

275

I didn't understand what was going on there.

276

Some other sci -fi that I've read over the years

277

that I did really enjoy 1984

278

and brave new world these are both

279

you know kind of the most famous dystopian novels

280

they're kind of the opposites of each other though brave new world was my personal favorite

281

i have the copy right here um from

282

when i was a teenager a friend gave it to me

283

so it has all of her notes in it yes my friend jamie my childhood friend jamie oh

284

i know her yes you know this was my first sci -fi novel

285

and it was the first you know kind of classic dystopian

286

that I ever read and I was really blown away as a teenager who thought I was

287

so deep I was like no way the government's trying to numb us all the time no

288

but actually it's it's really good it's a really good

289

and then got a shout out the OG Frankenstein by Mary Shelley to be written in the 1800s

290

it kind of covers what is humanity what does it mean to be human so many other elements, and it's just a really good book.

291

All right, we're gonna move on to horror.

292

I love horror novels.

293

I've only read a few over the years that have really stuck with me, but when they hit, they hit so hard.

294

One of the first horror novels that I read that I really couldn't put down was The Hollow Places by T.

295

Kingfisher, who is one of my favorite current authors.

296

Kind of takes like a backrooms vibe, but with a little bit more of a dark fantasy spin on it.

297

A Short Stay in Hell was a book that

298

Spencer gave to me that really captured a sense of dread.

299

I think that's something that horror novels can do better than TV shows and movies.

300

They're not gonna jump scare you, right?

301

But they are going to make you feel creeped out.

302

They're eerie, they're macabre, and a lot of them can capture a sense of dread

303

that I think TV shows and movies just haven't done for me.

304

Another one that did this was Tender is the Flesh.

305

I'm not even gonna describe the plot.

306

It is a disgusting book.

307

If you look up the summary, you'll understand.

308

I ask myself, like, why am I reading this book when it is making me feel so uncomfortable at times,

309

but there's something about being affected in any way that's addictive.

310

Even if it's negative, I still couldn't put these books down.

311

My absolute favorite horror novel of all time, and one of my favorite books, I think in the past 10 years, maybe ever, The Fisherman.

312

This book is so, so good.

313

It does what I like a lot of horror novels to do, which it captures real world horror,

314

something that that we all know exists or relates to.

315

This captures the horror of grief.

316

Now it takes that real -world horror and it builds upon it and it thrusts you into this unbelievable eldritch terror.

317

It's a slow build, which I like.

318

First half you're just kind of feeling creeped out, you're feeling unsure what's going on, and then it just goes zero to a hundred.

319

Let's move on from horror into the two genres that I have not explored enough.

320

First of those is mystery.

321

I've only read a couple mystery books.

322

I've read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

323

That's the classic like dinner party.

324

One person gets murdered.

325

Who did it?

326

It's called Whodunit.

327

Whodunit?

328

Okay, Whodunit.

329

I read God of the Woods last year, which was really good.

330

It's about like a summer camp where a girl goes missing and then it's like who was involved in this?

331

What happened?

332

But I'm looking for more.

333

So if you have favorite mystery novels, let me know.

334

The other one is romance

335

which is very popular nowadays might be the most popular

336

now I've only read a couple I read the first couple of Court of Thorns

337

and Roses the fairy boning books I have the final two on my nightstand

338

I'm gonna finish those at some point

339

and then this year read this bad boy icebreaker

340

I have critiques on this book okay look I was looking for the spiciest possible books out there

341

and this kept coming up

342

but here's my problem with it all right i'm down for spice i'm down for it to get crazy

343

but it got crazy way too quickly spoiler alert it's like page 50

344

that they just go at it give it some time

345

you know like let us want it first

346

i'm looking for recommendations what you're asking them to tell you

347

about smut books for you yeah give me crazy ones i want to be sweating whoa no truly uh

348

if you have recommendations let me know there's nothing

349

that makes me uncomfortable as long as it's good i just want like i want genuine good story though involved

350

you have a why novel you if you had enjoyed twilight you should

351

if you are looking into more ya obviously i was young

352

when i read it

353

but i still look back on it fondly the wolves of

354

mercy falls the wolves of mercy falls start the first book is called shiver by maggie steve vader

355

i'm hoping I'm saying that right.

356

Very good.

357

I loved it.

358

It was very cool.

359

It's like, it's not vampires.

360

It's wolves.

361

It's not vampires.

362

It's wolves.

363

Oh, and then if you've listened to me on a podcast in the past year and a half, you know, I've read the book

364

Morning Glory Milking Farm.

365

It's about a minotaur.

366

Like I said, I'll read anything.

367

I will read anything except for Mr. Beast's book.

368

It's time for the final part which is literary fiction.

369

This is basically any book that doesn't revolve around plot and instead focuses more on character, theme, or prose.

370

A lot of times with literary fiction it can feel a little bit more like poetry than reading a story.

371

Best example of this, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.

372

This is all about a boy's relationship with his mom

373

and his relationship with his own sexuality and so many pages it really does feel more like poetry than following a plot.

374

I mean there is a plot to these books, right?

375

But that's not the main focus.

376

James by Percival Everett.

377

This is a retelling of Huckleberry Finn.

378

This does have a great plot, but I think it's focused a lot more on other themes of the period

379

and of kind of the history of literature, I think.

380

I don't know.

381

I love this book, The Secret History.

382

by donna tart i didn't know what this book was about

383

when i started reading it i'd heard so many people recommend it

384

and it's a very very smart book it's very intellectual

385

but the book i think is critiquing and making fun of academics

386

and intellectuals it's kind of the fun thing

387

and also weird thing about literary fiction is

388

that you might read a book like this

389

and what you take away from it is going to be completely different from someone else something

390

i really do enjoy doing

391

when i read these types of books is to look up explanations

392

or essays on the books afterwards to see like what other people are taking away from it an example of

393

that beloved which is arguably

394

the best book of all time well the hunger games is

395

the most like general like that's the most entertaining like reaching a wide audience book

396

i think as far as like impact and and meaning I would say this is up there, right?

397

Of so many books that fall into that category.

398

Beloved is so complex and reading it, it felt weird and uncomfortable.

399

There's so much going on.

400

There's frankly like supernatural things going on in the book, but it's not straightforward what they mean.

401

And the characters choices and actions are so complicated.

402

For instance, the main character of this book does something or has done something that is truly like heinous, right?

403

She is judged as a character,

404

yet one of the descriptions of the book that I read after is that the main character is an example of heroism,

405

that she is a hero.

406

When I read that, I was like, that's not what my takeaway was reading it, but I can see how that is the takeaway.

407

Toni Morrison's a genius.

408

Some others I just want to shout out.

409

Recently read Normal People.

410

I think this is an easy one to jump into.

411

It's about a situationship.

412

But what I love about Sally Rooney is that she uses as few words as possible to describe people and situations,

413

yet she does such a good job of it.

414

I felt like I understood these characters so well.

415

They are so complicated and their relationship is so complicated.

416

I was judging these characters, and that's kind of the point, right?

417

You're frustrated by them, but it's awesome.

418

Loved it.

419

Rejection's a favorite.

420

This is a series of short stories of just despicable, ridiculous characters.

421

Hilarious book.

422

Quickly, some honorable mentions.

423

These are my favorite books from last year.

424

I have Stoner by John Williams.

425

This follows just a guy's mundane, regular life.

426

But in the process, it's kind of the most existential book I've ever read.

427

It made me think about my own life, what it means to be, you know, human, like what it means to be special in the world.

428

I don't know.

429

It's really fascinating.

430

But it's very simple on the page, but has so much more to it.

431

And then a book that became really popular this last year online, but it was written back in the 90s,

432

is I Who Have Never Known Men.

433

This is prime literary fiction, right?

434

It's also dystopian, but it's not focused on any sort of plot necessarily.

435

And it was confusing to me.

436

When I finished this book, I didn't know what was happening.

437

And I think that's kind of the point to a degree.

438

There's a lot of takeaways from it.

439

I've read a lot of other people's takeaways from it i think

440

it is a very important book i think everyone should be reading this i really really thought it was fascinating

441

so all right i'm gonna finish

442

this off with three of my favorite books of all time these fit into the category of kind of fantasy

443

but also literary fiction first one is parentheses i hope i'm pronouncing

444

that right i think this book is just absolutely astounding um it takes place in a world

445

that even after i finished the book i didn't fully

446

understand i don't want to explain too much

447

because it's short i read it in one day

448

but i love it i think it's it's weirdly about like philosophy

449

and and has so many fantasy elements

450

but it's also weirdly feels like it's about manipulation and being brainwashed

451

that was some of my takeaways

452

but i love this book i think it's beautiful i think

453

it's mysterious i think it is fascinating lastly i'm going to shout out uh the song of achilles

454

and cersei by madeline miller this book made me cry on a plane

455

which is one of two times

456

that i've cried on a plane what i also watched hamnet

457

on a flight recently these books are retellings of greek myth um

458

and they kind of fill in the gaps

459

that are left in those myths they're just awesome i know she has more coming out

460

and i can't wait for them i'm obsessed with these i could keep going forever

461

but i'm gonna stop here i'm sorry i'm sorry i i'm gonna edit this video i promised myself

462

that i'm going to edit my own videos to get better at editing

463

so i don't want to edit hours of footage

464

so i'm going to stop here

465

but i will probably make other videos on reading in the future all right well thank you for watching.

466

I hope you find a good book, and I hope you have a good day.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
