Completely agree on “Thinner” and Ginelli. Sometimes I’ll just read the chapters with his little adventure in the latter half. He has some Dark Tower connections, like owning the pizza truck Jack Andolini was driving in The Drawing of the Three.

One of the cool things about the Fallout show is that the actress Ella Purnell has played Fallout 4 and really enjoyed it, so she's invested in the lore of the game series! On book news, I finally picked out The Road by Cormac McCarthy from my local library and I'm really enjoying it!

Hi Mike. I just discovered your channel, and I'm loving it so far. My to be read list has expanded greatly. I have a question: How much time do you spend reading on a daily and weekly basis? I only have maybe an hour each day due to being so busy (that's military life for you), so it will take me until I'm an old man to read everything.
@JustinHight-py2sw

Lonesome dove is my all time favorite book and love the prequels as well. I want to give you a suggestion. Try reading Aztec by Gary Jennings. Its the epic quality if McMurtry with the culture clash and historical warfare of Shogun but 50 times more violent and shocking than both. Those are my 3 favorites

I have never played Fallout but I am loving the show! Not once have I been tempted to glance at my phone because I have gotten bored and adverted my attention until things picked up again. That to me is a sign of great entertainment in an age where everybody is so addicted to their phones. For example, The Last Of Us and Halo, great shows but I caught myself scrolling through out a lot of it

I watched Fallout all in one go, had a couple menial chores to do in the house, so I could just watch it mostly uninterrupted. Not a huge fan of the games, but played New Vegas and Fallout 4 and loved them both. To me it felt like the perfect Fallout vibe. I don't know how much I care for a couple of character decisions, but it was just a whole load of fun! Reading Prince of Thorns at the moment. Shit is dark af, but I'm into it. I know you bounced off Mark Lawrence but I'm enjoying all the books and short stories I've read from him so far, especially the Library books!

When people tell me that they just cannot read Stephen King and they don’t understand why…..I always ask what book they tried because this matters and always suggest they look into his life just a little bit and where that particular book falls within his personal life story. I know that sounds crazy but if you really look at his life, what he has personally fought, the accident, the aftermath of the accident, all of it….that will help you understand and appreciate and, dare I say, read any of his books. To know him is to love him is to read him, if you will? Plus he is a lover of books and a champion of writers. I know this video isn’t about King but I had to say that? 🤔 😂 T ✌🏻

Regarding Instagram, if Mike wanted to build a bigger following there, I think that what he would need to do is to offer some sort of interesting or unique content related to fantasy and science fiction that isn't necessarily big enough to make its way onto the channel. For example, in his monthly book hauls, he does a great job of highlighting self-published books, many of which are definitely worth checking out. If he were to do some minifeatures (not doing a full-on review of a book, but introducing what it is and what it's about) on some of these that aren't necessarily going to be big enough to get reviewed on the channel, I think that it would draw in more fans to his Instagram to see which ones are worth researching a little more. Anyway, that's just one idea that I wanted to throw out there that I think the fans would find a lot of value in.
