Totaly agree with your opinion on Harry Potter. I read it last year, as a 19 year old, and absolutely loved it. My grandma of 72 is reading it right now and is loving it!
-
I'm a simple man. I see a top ten by Mike, I click on it at the speed of light.
-
0. Lord of the Rings 1. Malazan (All Erikson and Esslemont books) 2. A song of Ice and Fire 3. First Law 4. Earthsea books 5. Black Company series 6. Wheel of time 7. Book of the New Sun 8. Witcher 9. Kingkiller Chronicle
-
I totally agree. People are starting to lose interest in Asoiaf because it has been a long time since the last release, the books aren't getting finished and the show finale sucked, but these five books are still incredibly good!
-
My top 5 because I just got back into fantasy 2 years ago 1. Malazan 2. A song of ice and fire 3. First Law 4. Mistborn 5. Rangerβs Apprentice (went unbelievably hard when I was 11)
-
Found you through your Dresden reviews and I've been here since. Glad it made the list.
-
Love your take on Harry Potter. Iβll never get tired of re reading those books
-
Always interesting to see how people's lists change over time. And always a delight to watch your videos and heard your insights!
-
I never get sick of these videos

Dude it feels pretty great to have found your channel years ago when you first started your wheel of time read and to see it in your top ten. I've read it six times and there's still so much to unpack in that series that I pick up on rereads. I just wish you continued Berserk without taking a break for so long, it's easy to forget everything that happens if you put it down partway through but I'm happy that you at least got through a good chunk of it. I'm about one third of the way through book 3 of the First Law trilogy and I like the series a lot but for some reason it didn't feel like it grabbed me as much as I thought it would from what I've heard about it. Book two honestly was kind of "meh" for the most part, sure there were some very cool moments but it wasn't as great as I was hoping. I will say though that the characters are amazing, I don't think I've ever related to a character more than I have with Glokta and not in the good ways haha. I'm 40 now and I've had a lot of major physical issues and surgeries throughout my life that left me with many physical scars and missing body parts. At 19 I had cancer which required a major jaw surgery including removing an entire 14 inch section of leg bone from my left tibia, which had me limping with a cane for nine months and I still have to be careful with how much weight I put on my leg. The right side of my jaw from the center to my right ear was removed, teeth and all (I had a large malignant tumor in my jaw so the tibia I mentioned was grafted as a replacement jaw and is held with a titanium chain, the x-rays of it look crazy). Five years later i was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and that caused many many issues including erosion of tooth enamel, so I had to have nine teeth pulled and now i have dentures up top. This is along with missing teeth on the entire lower right side of my mouth from the cancer surgery, so I truly understand Glokta when he's talking about missing teethπ€£ Throw in a ruptured intestine last year that almost killed me so there's another major surgery with months of recovery and the list goes on. I should stop rambling now about my problems but the point stands that I truly sympathize with my man Glokta, I just don't share his proclivity for "enhanced interrogation" techniquesπ Anyway sorry for the T.M.I., just wanted to throw in a comment to not only show my appreciation for what you've done with this channel but to explain a bit on why the character of Glokta really resonates with me. Thanks for all you do here Mike I'm a big fan, much loveπ

Was glad to hear about you continuing Malazan, I'm looking to start it this year and wondered your thoughts since you haven't talked about it in a while. Absolutely agree with Song of Ice and Fire, I reread the whole series last year and it's just so good! I think your praising Storm of Swords is actually what got me into your channel since that book is just amazing. I recommend Jemisen's Broken Earth trilogy if you haven't read it yet, we read it for my book club and I enjoyed the world building.
-
Mike!!!! Your channel is a treasure chest. So much insight. Thank you. Currently reading Lonesome Dove (loving it so far), and Iβll be reading Blackwater next. From Miami with massive props. Big up, champion. πͺπΌπ»

ASOIAF will always be my favorite. It was my first love. I thought that it would lessen my enjoyment of other books since it was my first time reading fantasy but no. And it still stands the test of time with me now that Iβm 200+ deep in to SF&F. Best dialogue, best characters.
-
Mike - I'm not a fantasy reader (or a reader in general) but I stumbled upon your 3 years ago and you brought to the First Law and I can't thank you enough. Keep up the good work.
-
Great call on HP. I grew up with them and then reread last year again in my 30s with kids and I was wrecked by some parts. Hit different as an adult
-
Iβve mostly read thrillers and mysteries and am just getting into Sci Fi Fantasy and havenβt read most of these. Youβve basically set me up for a few years of reading! Thank you! Love your channel.
-
Nice list Mike- Iβd say my Top 5 are 1. Five Warrior Angels 2. Bloodsworn 3. DiscWorld 4. Malazan 5. Immortal Technique- I canβt decide on the last 5 for a top 10
-
What I love the most about ASOIAF is use of the magic. It wouldβve been so easy to flood Westeros with a tonne of magic and fantastical things everywhere. Instead, George uses magic sparingly but so powerfully. Almost makes me feel like Westeros couldβve actually been real place! Such a shame that the story will probably never be finished.

A Storm of Swords is perfection

I read Harry Potter when I was in my 30s and loved it. I was reading it at the same time as my god daughter, and we talked about it as we read each book. It will always have a place in my heart, for that reason.
