- But not really. This thumbnail and video heading in no way reflects the contents of this video, but I had a bet with @thefantasynuttwork . It is a top 10 list, but I would be surprised if you were surprised by its contents. But who knows? Maybe Sarah J. Maas makes the list this year!

“Many things don’t happen in these books.”
- Alen’s blurb for the next KJ Parker book
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
You've got so many authors on here that I have either never read, or not read widely. This pleases me greatly because it means I've got a ton of reading and discovering to look forward to!
I'm excited for you!
The John Williams cutaways 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t
😛😛😛😛
Just added The Winter King audiobook to my TBR.
Haha gotta love the thumbnail!
Agatha Christie, Josiah Bancroft Robin Hobb and Seishi Yokomizo are my favourites authors so far
Hahahahah
when zaddy speaks, we listen. 🙏
🤣🤣
Least favorite authors next Allen!
“Are these authors books worse than being hit by a car.”
Hahahahahhaha I should..that would bring in ALL the viewers 😛😛
Great video Allen! Some of my favorite authors are Robin Hobb, Tolkien, Jim Butcher, Tad Williams, Daniel Abraham, Terry Pratchet, GRRM, and Ken Liu. Hope you have a good day!
Can't wait to read Hobb, Liu, and more Dresden!
I wish I could see the books on your shelf better. I like to see the types of books you read. The only things I can see through the blur, and know for sure, are The Greatcoats books.
With a thumbnail like that, it’s gotta be a CRAZY video. 😱
Hahahahahaha 😱😱😱😱
I hate it so much lol
Your enthusiasm is always so infectious. I bought Empire of Exciles because of you and I finished it yesterday and loved it. I want to read Senlin Ascends soon, because his new book sounds also really good and I want to read Senlin before that.
I'm excited about that EoE sequel!
Some of my favourites and some I want to get to 😊 I read The Warlord Chronicles when they came out (late 90s?), absolutely loved them, and really need to re-read them. Love Guards Guards too😊
I was floored by Warlord!
I appreciate that you determine some of your favorites by how much you think about them while reading or after reading other books. Made me realize how much time I spend thinking about certain authors and books in my day to day life.
Yess! Some of these books I think about ALL THE TIME.
Such an interesting list, Allen! I just finished my 15th Discworld book and I can safely say that Pratchett will forever have a place on my top 10 list of favourite authors. I have recently started reading the first Sharpe book, but it's early days yet, so I have no opinion. I read Cornwell's Grail Quest books and they are phenomenal. Can't wait to read everything else by him. Thanks to your recommendation I have read the first LPQ book. Didn't love it, but will read the next one as well. I think I should maybe try some KJ Parker. Great vid, like always!
Awesome, thanks for watching! And I'm so glad you love Pratchett!
Great list Allen! Absolutely adore Bernard Cornwell, he's definitely a top 10 author for me as well! GRR Martin is there too for me, of course, even higher, but a lot of the other authors on your list, while on my TBR, I have not read! Looking forward to delving into some of those in the future.
Great list Allen! You've introduced me to several of these and am so glad to read them and can't wait for more! (Parker, Abraham specifically)
Thank you for watching, Penny!
I love the idea of the constantly changing top 10 as that's so true. Also love to see the Cornwell love! I think he was #6 in my top 10 too!
I don't know anyone who does what Cornwell does better.
The reasons you cite for many of these--slower built stories, amazing character work, beautiful but not flowery prose--are the reasons Hobb is my favorite, so I do so hope when you are able to give her a try, you can look past Fitz's whining and enjoy her books! But, it also makes me optimistic to try many of these, which is why I think I haven't yet... Its so nice to live in Schroedinger's box of limbo and not know where I'll fall. 🤣 Great list though, always love how thorough you are!!
I'm very optimistic to try Hobb!!
Great list! Particularly Abraham of course. Your LPQ reviews were how I found you and this whole corner of booktube
It's so good
Great list! I’m right with you on Erikson, Cornwell, Martin, and Parker! I still have so many of these to try, like de Castell, solo Abraham, and Bancroft-and I need to go beyond Mort with Pratchett and explore the rest of Parker beyond Purple and Black and 16 Ways!
I love solo Abraham!
Great video as usual, Allen. Your number 3 is my favourite ever.
Yessssss! That's awesome
No big surprises on your list for me but still a solid list. You introduced me to a bunch of these authors. I'm gonna be reading LPQ and Traitor's Blade in June. Hopefully I'll eventually like Pratchett 💪
Oh I'm excited about LPQ
You have a wonderful list! Terry Pratchett is also one of my absolute favorites!
He's phenomenal
I have both Guns of the Dawn and Elder Race on my TBR and never realized they were by the same author. 🤯
IKR?!
Yaay!!! Nr 1 is chef's kiss. Really need to get to nr 2 and 3.
My favourite Hobb, Tolkien, Jemisin, Pratchett, Tchaikovsky and Erikson. ( Last 2 new for me. Haven't read all the books yet, but like them so far.)
I still need to sample Hobb and Jemisin!
Great video, and list. I really like all of them. Considering your taste I think you could like one of my favourites, Italo Calvino.
I will check it out!
Finally got Augustus on Audible based on several of your recommendations. Looking forward to hearing it. KJ Parker, yeeeessss!
Yesssss Parker!!
I know I've said it before, but I can't not imagine you cackling with glee during editing when you add in the clips. This time especially the Family Guy 'insists upon itself' and the last Jurassic Park for John Williams. I know I almost spit out my coffee and started laughing out loud when those played.
Good list, I can't find any fault there. I wish I could find more time to read because I know I've only scratched the surface with Abraham and Tchaikovsky and haven't even sampled Cornwell or Parker. They are all on the TBR though, so that's some solice.
In some order I'd probably go Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Tchaikovsky, Vince Flynn, Stephen King if only for the Dark Tower, Jim Butcher, John Gwynne, Pierce Brown, Blake Crouch, and Michael Crichton. Likely there are some others that might swap in like Castell or Gaiman.
Christina will tell you I DO laugh at myself when editing lol
Awesome stuff Allen! I somehow knew Pratchett would be at the top lol. Also, the John Williams music made me laugh so hard. Whenever I hear the authors name I immediately think of the composer. 😂
I know, right??
I just read Senlin Ascends and I loved it!!! And I just bought Mort, which will be my next read!!!
Awesome!
Ah what a fantastic list. Currently on Book 3 of Warlord and I just want to throttle Lancelot so hard haha Hate that man with a burning passion and I'm actually also away to start Sharpe again tonight (starting with Rifles because I wanna do published order). I really need to get to Williams, I think Stoner will be one of those books I love. Glad to see Pratchett at no1, as someone who is now just getting into Pratchett (read like 3-4 in High School and really didnt like them).Going Postal and The City Watch both seem to be really working with me. I just finished Dagger & Coin with Pete last month and I have to say although its not a fav series that character work is just some of the best I've read (although LPQ is just a perfect series to me)
I feel the same way about Dagger and Coin: not my fav but great character work. Also, Lancelot is the WORST
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria it was a strong 4 star series for me, one I'd recommend and will think of from time to time but it wasnt LPQ sadly haha
Also I just got approved for blade of dream, so it will be the first book I read by Abraham, super stoked!
Excellent video! We perfectly align when it comes to sieges (Cornwell and Erikson) and John Williams! I know I'll adore LPQ when I get to it! ❤
I heard a rumor that you were reading it soon???
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria I'm buddy reading it with Matt on Books. I need to touch base with him. I want to get mostly done with the ASOIAF reread. Martin's writing still holds up, in my opinion! 😊
Allen coming in hot on a Monday with the classic CZcams thumbnail. 😱
Hahahahahaha it was Jimmy's idea 😱😱😱
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandriaLove it 😱😱😱
I adore your love and enthusiasm for Pratchett
Thank you!! He is amazing
I don't understand the complains when it comes to Abraham (though I've only read A Shadow In Summer) but I found that slow books for me usually means little character interactions for a very long time (I felt it a lot while reading Fellowship of The Ring and Two Towers, though RoTK redeemed it for me. I however DNFed Assassin's Apprentice at 70% for that very reason as I just didn't connect with Fitz at all -- it's a first person POV which possibly made it worst for me).
I'm currently reading Enemy of God (I've finished part I) but had put it down after getting burned out on reading on my Kindle. I've been burning to pick it back up again as I love Cornwell's writing style and can now sense the depth of his character work (Derfel's dilemma when it comes to Merlin, the breaking of the chicken bone). I had never read an Arthur retelling before though I did read some of Chrétien de Troyes' works (Erec and Enide, Cliges, Yvain the Knight of The Lion) but didn't find them very memorable so decided not to read the rest of his works (not surprising, I'm usually not a huge fan of medieval texts, personally). I had also watched TV shows (Merlin BBC, Kaamelott which is a very famous French tragicomedy) so I did have some prior knowledge. For now, I think Cornwell's vision is my favourite of them all.
I have Guns of The Dawn, The Folding Knife, Augustus (need to finish the Cicero trilogy first), Excalibur, and the rest of the Longprice Quartet on my Kindle (no choice, we're moving soon) but I have a feeling I'll end up wanting to buy all these titles when the time comes. 👌 Most authors you talked about on that list interest me: Josiah Bancroft, Pratchett, Martin (I've only read Game of Thrones 10 years ago and still remember many scenes vividly despite barely watching the show as it was too graphic for me), but they won't be priorities for now as I'm already a bit overwhelmed. 😅
Awesome! Thank you for the comment! I also don't understand the complaint about Abraham and I know that some books are a slow burn and fizzle out but I never feel like Abraham's slow burn doesn't have a.satisfying payoff.
I also get burned out on e-reading. I love mmpbs and always will
I discovered Josiah Bancroft, Seb DeCastell and Daniel Abraham thanks to you and Bancroft and Abraham are top5 authors for me. I recently finished the Dagger and Coin series and I just loved it, with Geder being one of my favorite fantasy characters. Have you read/watch The Expanse? I binged the first 3 seasons of the show because Abraham’s character work and political intrigue is so identifiable. Other authors I love: Fonda Lee, Robin Hobb and John Gwynne
I 100% agree about Geder
I need to go back and finish the Warlord Chronicles. I read The Winter King years ago and adored it, but for some reason I never moved past it. And I'm a big Arthuriana nerd! Maybe this'll inspire me to get it done....after I finish Lions of Al-Rassan.
I need to read Lions and more GGK in general
I cringe away from anything Arthurian because I've already seen Sword and the Stone... I'm good, you know? I get it. I know how it ends. However you've made me think I might like the Cornwell series despite that. Ugh. Maybe.
Also, I'm new to Tchaikovsky and I feel like he's my next new amazing big thing to get lost in for a couple of years - love him!
Abraham - preach!!
Yessss Abraham! I saw you read Blade of Dream...I'm 85% in and love it even more than Age of Ash so far!
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Right?! I could never describe the plot of Blade to someone and have it sound appealing. It's all in HOW he's telling the story. I agree completely that he has a way of doing things that other authors try but never seem to pull off quite as well. I can't wait for the next one!
Good list of authors Allen, I've only read three of them so far. I do have Daniel Abraham & K J Parker on my list to read.
Off the top of my head my top ten would be:
10. Adrian Tchaikovsky
9. Sergei Lukyanenko
8. Holly black
7. Raymond E Feist
6. Frank Herbert
5. Robert Holdstock
4. Terry Pratchett
3. Janny Wurts
2. Guy Gavriel Kay
1. Charles De Lint
I have a feeling GGK will be on mine as soon as I read more of his works. So far it's only Tigana
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Come on Allen, you are lagging behind along with Sarah Reads, She's only managed Tigana also. Pick a book between you and do a buddy read with her.
If it wasn't for your thumbnail, I wouldn't have watched. 😂. Just kidding, always enjoy your content. Glad to see Daniel Abraham of course in your top 3 Your list is just a reminder of all of the books I still need to read.
Hahahahhahah I knew it! The secret is the catchy thumbnail. We must keep the Abraham love alive!!
We've quite a bit of crossover on this list Allen, though I haven't tried John Williams yet. I can see Sebastien De Castell, Josiah Bancroft, KJ Parker and Terry Pratchett becoming favourite authors for me.
I'm reading Age of Ash right now!
Awesome! I'm re-reading AoA on audio while reading book 2 and it's so rewarding to see all the little details from book 1 popping up in book 2
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria That's awesome. I've complete trust in Daniel Abraham, more than most of authors because of how well put together LPQ is
I only have a little over 2 years since I got into SFF. Before I read tones of Historical Fiction, Mistery Thriller and Romanian Clasics.
Here are my favorite SFF writers:
1. Ken Liu
2. Octavia E. Butler
3. R. F. Kuang
4. N. K. Jemisin
5. Ted Chiang
I'm excited to read more Ken Liu soon
I haven't read any of those authors. So looks like I still have 10 great authors to discover. (Fantastic video title btw)
Hahahah thanks lol
A book about honourable fencers didn't sound like my cup of tea, but mages who are terrible people...sounds great! Just added The Malevolent Seven to my TBR (will be my first SdC book) :)
Oh awesome!
Agreed on Tchaikovsky. I don't necessarily love everything he writes but every book feels so different from the others that I'm always willing to give it a shot.
Yes, exactly! Can't wait to try his scifi
Go Allen!
Fantastic list! No surprises- but who lost favor to make way for Williams?
Love the Bridgeburner shirt.
Not sure who got bumped!
I really need to read some of Discworld
I love the Greatcoats series! I find the hate the series gets a little baffling, it’s one of the few series where I gave each book five stars.
Same!!!
Great video! I have the same #1!
Yesssssss
I wish I could disagree with you because my Door Matt does need a good "watering". Upon finishing this video, K.J. Parker and Cornwell have now begun their journey up my mountainous TBR List. I am reading my second Pratchett book now (Men at Arms) and can totally see why you have him #1. Excellent video Sir.
Yessssss! Thanks, Dan!
Bloody good list. Still easing my way into Parker; but the novellas and short stories are grand. Cornwell in probably in my #1 spot. I still need to give Tchaikovsky another go.
Cornwell is so freaking good at what he does
Agree! Ogres is one of the best Novellas I've ever read! Soooo good.
So good
No Cormac McCarthy?! Allen hates Jimmy Nutts confirmed 🤣
Joking of course! Great video!
Hahahahahah I do hate Jimmy 😛
I think if I were to update the list Kingfisher and Ken Liu would probably be new editions to mine
Nice! I can't wait to read more Liu...I've only read a couple of short storis
Interesting list. I noticed that there are no female authors on it. Here are a few recommendations you might consider reading: Lois McMaster Bujold, Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey, and Georgette Heyer's An Infamous Army, which includes perhaps the best depiction of the Battle of Waterloo extant.
Regards,
Kay
Bujold I will be reading this year as well as finishing Greenbone by Fonda Lee and I will DEFINITELY look into Infamous Army! Thanks for the recs!
Bernard Cornwell’s battle sequences are my favourite. The only author that came close for me was Leo Tolstoy and even then it only applied to large scale battles not skirmishes.
Cornwell is the best in the biz for that
If you like writers that have a wide range, you should check out Walter Tevis, he only wrote six novels before his death and most people don't know who he is, but his bibliography is The Hustler, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Mockingbird, The Steps of the Sun, The Queen's Gambit and The Color of Money.
Oooooh very cool!
Great list! Where would be a good starting point for K.J. Parker?
The Folding Knife if you want to jump in or if you have access to Academic Exercises collection in kindle, that has some good short stories, essays, and my favorite of his novellas
Late to the party but here are my favourites:
- Ursula K Le Guin
- Iain M Banks
- Robin Hobb
- Douglas Adams
- George RR Martin
Have you read Banks's The Algebraist?
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria not yet! I have a copy though, I think I'll read it after I've finished the Culture series (only one book left)
Great Video. Could you maybe make another list with some female authors? Would be awesome 😊
I like RF Kuang's Poppy War, Erin M Evans, Rosaria Munda, and Agatha Christie!
I just read Color of Magic and thought it was meh, might have to pick up another of his books now.
I dislike CoM also
Jonathan Keeble narrates the first two Saxon Tales novels by Cornwall, so you should listen to those instead of listening to the Warlord Chronicles again. Going forward I will use this video as a TBR for myself… recently started Traitor’s Blade on Hoopla audio.
I've considered listening to the Sacon ones that Keeble does. Why doesnt he do all of them??
Just listen to the first book, The Last Kingdom. It has everything you love, the second one was a little torturous to get through even with Keeble. One & done.
Re-reading 16 Ways to Defend a Walled City in May 😁 🙌🏻
Yessssss!
I'm gonna say Brandon Sanderson just so he's here. Great video. The Scavenger Trilogy is right up there as one of my all-time favourite reads.
I'm pumped to read Scavenger.
I argue with people on the internet all the time! Are you calling me an idiot 😛
Hahahahha I didn't say that. Also, you have been given the rare Writ of Conflict bc you actually argue reasonably. Also, you're not generally going after people for their book choices lol
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Yea, arguing about books and authors on booktube is a bit cliche. I always find something else to argue about 😂
My favorites are Joe Abercrombie, John Gwynne, Fredrick Backman
I still need to read Backman. I have Beartown ready to go
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Beartown is my favorite book of all time. I'm a coach and it explores the culture of sports and the impact it has on young people and the community and it gets to me.
hello, from which book do you recommend to start reading Discworld?
I always recommend Guards Guards!
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria thank you!)
😮 that 10k is soooo close
Finally got it!n
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria yeeeeeh boi!!!
Ok, so have only seen 10, and 9. Here is my predictions.
1. Pratchett (100% sure)
2. Daniel Abraham
3. K.J Parker
4. John Williams(wait, is this list sff only, whatever)
5. Josiah Bancroft
6. Bernard Cornwell
7. Erikson
8. Feel like I'm missing someone obvious, whatever
Edit: oh ya. De Castell
Really good guessing, Jake. Also, read those Parker essays
I'm predicting that Clavell is going to be in the next edition.
My favorite authors:
5. Cervantes
4. Larry McMurtry
3. Philip Roth
2. Tolstoy
1. Dostoevsky
Only sure about number 1 and 2, after them placement can change in any given day. Pratchett would probably be at number 6.
I ALMOST put Clavell on here now...if I had finished my Tai-Pan read beforehand, he would have been
I think you've hit your Saucy Allen era with threatening to pee on doorsteps and all that.
Lol I was saying I DONT go to people's houses and do that
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria But threatening that you don’t do that is even more telling. 🤣
@@SheWasOnlyEvie hahahahha
Wait wait wait. Do you mean to tell me KJ Parker is out here making me confuse him with RJ Barker regularly when his given name is TOM HOLT? Unacceptable.
Agreed
Allen read Saxon Stories, Keeble does the first four, YOU PROMISED
Yeah I have them saved on audible
Hmm...thumbnail clickbait! 😂
My top authors:
Agatha Christie
Oscar Wilde
J.R.R. Tolkien
Runner-up:
Charles Dickens
Donna Tartt
Guess before watching: Pratchett will be #1 or in top 2. K.J. Parker will be in top 3.
Nice list!
I really like ASOIAF but GRRM is not a favourite author because I haven't tried his other works.
Tchaikovsky has been a bit hit or miss for me.
Bancroft is an excellent writer but I need to read more from him before he is a favourite author (on that note, I hope to apply for The Hexologists eARC as soon as it is available)
John Williams is a lovely writer - I really liked Stoner and Augustus but that's all I have read.
Sir where is Shakespeare? Not even an honourable mention for the dear bard? 🤭
Yess I was right about Parker and Pratchett! 🥳
I should definitely give Shakespeare a shout out on the next one. He should always be in my honorable mentions.
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Yay! If you'd be willing to share, favourite Shakespeare plays?
Mine are Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Hamlet.
@@Paromita_M Caesar, Hamlet, Much Ado, Antony, and Richard III, and one of the Henry's, I forget which.
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria 🙏🏽
"That's not fair for them if they didn't write anything and they're dead."
🤣
Where's the lie? 😛
Hilarious you followed through on this lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I hate it so much.
So where would you recommend starting with KJ Parker? You have convinced me…
Folding Knife if you want to dive right in. If you're in the US, you can get his short collection Academic Exercises which has some great stories, essays, as well as my favorite novella Purple and Black
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria outstanding. Thank you. Loving the channel. It’s good to see a fellow academic into the nerdy weeds like myself. :)
🔥🔥🔥
I don't feel Like Sharpe gets a lot of love and appreciation on booktube, at least what I see of it. I loved hearing those mentions, and totally agree, Obadiah is the most despicable, detestable, and disturbing villain I can recall reading or seeing in other media. Says so in the scriptures.
Yes! Sharpe doesn't get near enough love and Hakeswill not near enough hate!
Where do I start with KJ Parker?
Folding Knife is my rec unless you want to sample his shorter fiction and nonfiction and do the Academic Exercises collection
Lol. I can tell you have to talk to teenagers all day. The way you shut down all the complaints in the beginning is the way I have to talk to my 15 year old. It's sad that adults have to be told not to bully people on the internet.
I would probably put Tchaikovsky and Daniel Abraham on my top 10 authors. Also Steven King, maybe Steven Erikson, Robin Hobb, and I think I have to put Sanderson on my list because I automatically read everything he releases.
Hahahahhaa yes!! It's something I learned teaching: address anticipated issues up front lol
I also love Stephen King! I used to read him a TON but haven't in the last decade or so
I feel like somewhere Julius Caesar is groaning that he is not on this list- especially for someone who loves military fantasy!
Hahahahahaha I did NOT include non-fiction authors or else I'd have needed to muscle a couple onto this list lol
Nice list even though it's objectively incorrect and my list would be much better, keep up the great work !!!
Yes! I'm sorry about my errors!!😀😀
OOK.
Here's my favorite authors
Stephen king
Stephenie Meyer
Nicholas sparks
Jennifer l armentrout aka j Lynn
Danielle steel
John Grisham
Michael Connelly
Fonda lee
Zane
Joe Abercrombie
What did Zane write beyond terrible emo poetry about Vin?
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria the author zane I'm referring to mostly writes erotic stories and is a woman
Oh lol! I literally thought you put in a Mistborn reference to see if I'd catch it bc I hate that character 🤣🤣
@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria oh don't worry
All I've read from Tchaikovsky so far is Dogs of War and Children of Time. I feel like he comes up with amazing ideas but has mediocre execution. I'm sure it's partially because he's become so overhyped in the last few years. I think I'll check his shorter fiction next based on your comments. It's the one author I would love to love but I just can't yet. Both books were slight disappointments, 7-8/10 ratings.
I can see that, especially among his more hyped works. Try Ogres for shorter works or City of Last Chances, maybe?
Ugh, I don't have time to fix your whole Top 10 list, but I'll correct your top 3 for you.
1. Brandon Sanderson
2. Brandon Sanderson
3. Brandon Sanderson.
Ooooooh! Thank you for clearing that up!
You didn't have to come for my boy sazed, I have no opinion on the greatcoats
🤣🤣🤣🤣 my bad
You need to read Toll the Hounds again.
I will read it with you.
Let us right this wrong.
Form a subcommittee, Congressman 😛
YOU ARE OBJECTIVELY WRONG FOR POSTING A VIDEO BEFORE I WAKE UP! Who has time to watch a 35-minute video before work?!?
Hahahahahaha not me for sure
Wow, still relying on that getting hit by a car thing huh? 😜
Hahahahahaha 🥛🥛🥛
Liking Bran way more on my current reread. Jojen needs to shut up though
Hahahahaah agree
Really disappointed to not see Titus Livius on this list. SMH
Hahahahah I had to respond to someone else and tell them that nonfiction authors were not included!
The order you have these in is not exactly the same as my order, and therefore I feel a need to leave a hateful comment
Hahahahah your guesses were good though
Um, actually, Dr. Seuss is objectively better than George RR Martin, sir.
Dangit, I knew I forgot someone
CLICK BAITED!
It worked!! Gotcha!
No joe Abercrombie ? How dare you, if I had a glove I’d slap you with it 😂
Hahaha I haven't read any so I can't put him on
