  • I started my reading journey in August of 2023 with a book called Pines written by Blake Crouch. In this video, I explore the rest of Blake Crouch's discography and read his book called Dark Matter, which just got a new Apple TV series.

    Blake crouch was the first author where I read a single book in a day. It’s really just short and snappy writing that’s digestible, so for someone who wants to get into reading I think it’s literally perfect.

    I recently got back into reading this year after not doing it for years. It is so incredibly rewarding to finish a book! I’ve read a total of 10 this year, dark matter being one of them, and it was such a wild ride. I also recently picked up the first two game of thrones books and can’t wait to dive into them! love your channel man, such great vibes

    Had the exact same reading journey as you! I fell out of love with reading and during covid binged through Blakes books as they are so snappy and digestible. I always recommend him to new readers as they are always gripping and easy to follow. Great video!

    I just read dark matter in one day, I haven't read a book in years! Afterward, I looked at the show and was surprised at how bad it was. They completely disregarded so many good portions.

    • @PeterOlszewski

    Hi, new viewer here! I really liked the phrase you brought up early into the video: "any reading is good reading" especially when some readers these days look down/judge other readers because of the materials they consume. My Literary Criticism professor advised us to read whatever we want, it doesn't have to be a full novel or a book; grocery receipts, the nutritional facts of a product, anything. As long as you are reading.
    With that, I also believe that information literacy is still of necessity. Not everything we read is good or morally correct. Therefore whenever I read, I always keep in mind to take what is good and leave behind what is bad.
    I enjoyed the video! ❤

    • @PeterOlszewski
      @PeterOlszewski  Před 20 dny

      I definitely recommend it was really good. I do think the first book is the best of the series because after it you already know the mystery.

    Your editing style is refreshing when compared to other book reviewers on CZcams. In fact, you’ve inspired me to read on my front porch this evening. One question: Why did you blur your legs while sitting on the floor? Bad case of hobbit feet???

    • @PeterOlszewski
      @PeterOlszewski  Před 17 dny

      Thank you so much! I love movies and a lot of my favorite movies are either dramas or mysteries so I definitely gravitate towards those when reading. This might sound silly but I think the best way to find out the style of writing you like is just by reading and trying out lots of different books because everyone’s taste is unique. In terms of book recommendations, my favorite books I have read so far have been Pines, Normal People and All the Pretty Horses.

    If you like the element of alternate realities, try The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Steven Baxter. In it there are an infinite number of Earths where our current Earth is the only one with humans. A device is developed that allows humans to jump to these alternate Earths and start to colonize them. A few humans can do this naturally and don't need the devices. It was so intriguing for me that I read all 4 books in a row.

    hey i just found your channel and i was wondering if you rendered the video in 4:3 or if its 16:9 with black bars because you get a little squished on my crt lol
    and i really appreciate the 4:3 format esp for something more personal like this 👍👍

    • @PeterOlszewski
      @PeterOlszewski  Před 12 dny +1

      I’m glad you like the 4:3! I usually keep the video in 16:9 because I like the stylistic aesthetic of the bars made when put in 4:3 as well as most CZcams videos are formatted in 16:9.
