Hi, I'm Shane.
2
You might know me for reading
3
Reddit stories on the internet, but did you also know that I read.. books?
4
That's right.
5
I've read a couple over the years, and I figured I'd take some time to talk to you about reading,
6
and some of my favorite books give you some recommendations.
7
I actually have heard over the years that the average person barely reads a book a year, and whenever I've talked about books,
8
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.
9
Reading is daunting, and there's so much cool content out there.
10
Why would you waste dozens of hours reading one of these?
11
One of these things, huh?
12
Anyways, I'm going to try to convince you today, so let's begin.
13
I wanted to start by saying that I actually hated reading when I was a kid.
14
I didn't read a single book, I think, until I was like 17.
15
I would just lie about it in school.
16
I had to do a book report on little house in the prairie
17
and i didn't actually open the book up
18
i i didn't even read the back i don't think i got like a 40 though
19
which is it was kind of impressive i think
20
there was a question on the assignment of like what did the family do about the bear
21
and i think my answer was just they shot it oh my god
22
and that was wrong i think
23
that was incorrect i don't know i never read the book
24
i truly hated reading it just felt like it was
25
so much pressure and i do think when people talk about books they talk
26
so much about how reading is good for you how you should do it for productivity reasons
27
and I'm actually a little against that
28
because it makes it feel like work it makes it sound not fun
29
so I'm here to talk to you about how reading is fun
30
and it's a good time now
31
when I was in high school I was doing remote learning
32
because I was a child actor and I realized I wasn't remotely learning anything
33
and I got really scared of being stupid
34
so I started reading as many books as possible and I I still ended up stupid,
35
but I found a hobby that I love in the process.
36
So the rumors about you being homeschooled are not true?
37
No. Well, I mean, I was homeschooled in high school.
38
I was remote learning, so I was going to a place where a teacher would give me, like, packets.
39
And then I would take those packets home and fill those out.
40
Oftentimes, I didn't, I didn't, they weren't checking them.
41
I could put whatever I wanted in those.
42
But I wasn't reading any books at all.
43
There was no required, like, reading.
44
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?
45
But in the process, I really learned that I love books.
46
What got me into books is what I think I would recommend for people who are trying to get into reading,
47
which is simple, clear, plot -focused books.
48
The best example of this is young adult fiction, which transcends young adults, by the way.
49
What I got into at first was Aragon, the books that were written by a 14 -year -old.
50
Really?
51
He was 14 when he wrote the first book.
52
And they're really good.
53
I didn't finish the series.
54
It's not a critique.
55
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,
56
which is fine because Star Wars is the hero's journey.
57
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.
58
They usually meet like a wise master or something who teaches them some wisdom.
59
They face their challenge, and then in the end of it all, they return back to the beginning having been changed.
60
So many books follow this or have elements of it.
61
It's kind of hard to unsee once you once you know it.
62
Another one I read was Golden Compass, which is insane.
63
Dude, it gets crazier.
64
This isn't a spoiler.
65
The overall plot of the Golden Compass is that they fight God.
66
I'm not kidding.
67
I haven't read it since I was a teenager, but that's that's the plot.
68
It has one of my favorite endings to any book series ever.
69
The final book ends in a way that's so perfectly bittersweet.
70
Ah, chef's kiss.
71
Anyways, what I think is the best young adult series of all time is, obviously, The Hunger Games.
72
It perfectly encapsulates a massive world with great characters, great relationships, has incredible societal critique,
73
and it encompasses it all in a matter of just 300 pages, which I think is very impressive.
74
And it's just genuinely such a great series.
75
I think it's really, really solid for a large general audience.
76
So it's a great recommendation to start with.
77
I have not read the third book.
78
I read the first two.
79
I fell off.
80
This was forever ago.
81
And it's been on my to -be -read for ever.
82
I'm going to get to it.
83
But a part of me also likes knowing that one of the best book series out there I've yet to read.
84
It's kind of the same with like
85
Lord of the Rings.
86
Questions?
87
Wait, wait.
88
I saw the movies.
89
But do I still need to read the books if I saw the movies?
90
I think, yeah, the books have some different elements.
91
I've only seen the first two movies.
92
Oh, wow.
93
When I watched the first movie, I remember there were some things that had changed.
94
And I was like, hmm, they changed that.
95
I don't know how I feel about it.
96
The movies rock, though.
97
Okay, other types of books that I think are good for getting into reading are memoirs.
98
They're always very clear, very precise, easy to follow along with, and usually very gripping as well.
99
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.
467
Okay.
468
Bye.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
