"Read everyday of your life and still not touch the pile" I love that!
so many books, so little time
I watched this video, then ordered Sean Chercover Big City Bad Blood. I,just finished it this morning. EXCELLENT! I am definetly reading more of his stuff.
I did the same about a year ago. Loved it.
Mystery books are, by far, my favorite genre. Goohber1 wrote at length below saying the reason he doesn't read mysteries is that he doesn't "understand . . . how the author makes the mystery work". I don't try to over-analyze about the way the writer constructs the story or "who done it". I just go with it and enjoy the ride. I may admire the skill of some authors more than others and consider possibilities, but I don't develop angst while doing something that's supposed to be enjoyable.
Oh, I'd love to see their Agatha Christie section. I'd be in Heaven! Haha!
At 0.13 in , I notice the stack of Hard Case Crime books upon the shelf on the far right !! I am also a big collector of the HCC books !!
I met Val McDermid very briefly once (in a group) I’d come third in a short story competition for Theakston’s Old Peculiar, Crime Writing Festival. The crime writing festival is an annual event based in Harrogate, England (my home town) and it’s where Agatha Christie hid when she went missing for two weeks and the festival is at the same hotel she stayed at. Great fun and a brilliant chance to meet authors of crime fiction and watch interviews with them.
Val was great. And I’m not 100% sure, but I feel like she runs the event? Or she did one year? 😊
I love their collection, wish I had as many books. I love mysteries also but I read Patricia Cornwell, Catherine Coulter, Tess Gerrittson and Tony Hillerman and Karen Slaughter. Maybe one day I will amass such a collection.
If it makes you happy. Then you love your books. Then it must make you very happy 😊 to have all your books . Xx
Who doesn't love mysteries? I just read 'Before I go to sleep' by Steve Watson and I loved it! I would definitely recommend it! That was a really big collection of books! I hope that one day I will have such a big (or even bigger) collection too! ;P
I have no idea if you read this book or any others from this author but I personally really liked it- Last Lullaby by Denise Hamilton
Wow their house is like a library...I wonder if they have Sherlock Holmes in their collections? 18,000 books I think it would take my entire lifetime trying to read them all
Sie können sich leicht ausrechnen, dass Ihr Leben dafür nicht ausreichen würde. Nehmen wir an, Sie werden 100 Jahre alt und Sie fangen in der Grundschule mit 10 Jahren an, intensiv zu lesen. Und Sie lesen dann durchschnittlich 100 Bücher im Jahr - was realistisch ist, wenn Sie sonst nichts anderes tun - dann lesen Sie Ihrem Leben ca. 9.000 Bücher, also etwa die Hälfte.
Can I have like those bundles of books someday 🤩
i did not hear about sherlock homes or stuart woods
@SouthKoreanBoi We've actually finished quite a few more than 3. We never claimed to have read all the books, though we each read at least 5 books a week.
@goohber1 thats how i am with mysteries. that and classics, i always feel like there is a hidden metaphor everywhere that end not enjoying the book
I love reading to all genres to me are fine you become that person inside the story you choose my fav are crime and mysterys, my fav fantasy genre a dragons, my fav horror genre is the vampire, books to me its the benafits you get from its like living a life you never got to live or plb you never know you dad once in anothere lifetime or lived that life and you cant remember its like understanding the othere views and how they lived, what might happen if it did or happened again, or to learn from the past, all depending on the book you read and you can be and do anything you whant withought harming anyone, maybbe one day when im living on my own or if I have a partner ill have my house of books like in this video. I like forensic science like patricia cornwell and kathy reich.
I did not like Murder in orient express, you can actually read the second part and you won´t miss a thing. Took me a lot of time to finish it. Thank you, Allan Poe to prove i was wrong with and read more this genre, Chandler or Dashiell hammett
Years later, I found "Io uccido" (I kill) by the italian author Giorgio Faletti and shit, it was hugeeeeeeeeeee and LA Confidential, damn (cool movie, but the book is outstanding) Prbably these two don´t belong to sucj category but, it is worth your time.
Dudes I do omg
You need almost exactly 50 years to read 18.000 books when you finish one every day...
You say that as if it's a bad thing.
Hahahahaha amazing
So many books
MY NEW BOOK RELEASE!!! (NOBODY'S HOSTAGE) AMAZON BOOKS KINDLE
i don't read much mystery stories because I feel I'm too stupid to understand them or how the authors made the mystery work. i can read the stories fully through to the end, but I'm always lost as to how the author wrote the predicaments work to make the stories "how" they are and why. there's no sure way to find out if I "got it right" or not. & the reviews online r just reviews, not thorough analysis. maybe u know something I don't - a website with not reviews, but thorough analysis, perhaps?
james h maybe you should try non fiction. True crime type if stuff.
