10 Books I Wish I Would Have Read Sooner!

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]All right, today we're talking about 10 books I wish I would have read sooner.

[00:00:05]The most recent publication of a book on this list was 20 years ago. So rather than doing kind of a top 10 list and ranking in order of characters or ranking anything like that, we're just going to go for publication order today.

[00:00:18]Starting with the oldest and going up to the newest. And of course, I'm using the word newest kind of liberally because it came out 20 years ago. Let's start with book one today and then we're going to cover a lot of different genres. So hold on to your seats. Book one, it's a short book, but it's potent. It's powerful.

[00:00:36]It's Arthur C. Clark's 1953, Childhood's End. This is a first contact with aliens story. It's a really quick book. You'll read this in a couple of days, but it does something powerful here that very few books do. There's a couple on this list that also did this, but not in a short amount of pages of Childhood's End. And that's Leave Me in a translike state for a couple of days afterwards, being just wowed by what happened here and left thinking about the philosophical ramifications of some of the end chapters here. Childhood's End. I've heard about it a million times. I had read 2001, a space odyssey by the same author, had seen that movie, but for some reason this got into my mind to read a few years ago. I think it was probably from watching Mike over at Mike's book reviews had read it and really liked it. And I probably wanted to join in the fun and did that. I've since recommended it to many other booktubers and book viewers. Most have also agreed this is a powerful book in a very tight amount of pages. You're not going to get a lot of great character work here. That's not what this is. And really, that's not what they did back in the 50s when it came to science fiction.

[00:01:55]They're more books about ideas and concepts. And in this particular one, our place in the universe because we all wonder, you know, what would happen if the aliens landed. This book answers a potentiality of what might happen. Would it be the worst thing that happens to humanity? Would it be the best thing that happens to humanity? It would be somewhere in the middle. You're going to need to read Childhood's End and find out, but I think there's a key in the title itself that should give away a little bit. Big recommend for me. You'll read it in a weekend. I would go for it.

[00:02:29]Here's a book that came out in 1975. You absolutely will not read this in a weekend. This is the longest book on the list. This is not a genre book. It's not fantasy, sci-fi, lit RPG, or anything like that. This is historical fiction.

[00:02:46]Of course, I'm talking about 1975's beast of a book, James Clevel's Shogun.

[00:02:53]I love this book. This was my book of the year. I want to say last year or the year before that when I read it. I still haven't gotten it out of my mind. There are elements in this book that I know I'm not going to find anywhere else. The plot is just incredible. The world building of 16th century Japan is quite amazing. You can tell that James Clell did his research before he wrote this book and really all of the Asian saga that this is a part of. But don't worry about the other books. You can absolutely read this as a standalone.

[00:03:26]It's going to take you a hot minute.

[00:03:27]This is 1200 pages. It's divided into six parts if you do want to divide it up. I just kind of bore through it and read it straight through. Our premise here, and you know, I don't give a lot of premises on books here just because I like to go in as relatively unaware and blind as possible to books, but the general gist of this is that we've got John Blackthornne, who is the navigator on a huge British sailing ship that gets shipwrecked outside the coast of the Japans, as they call them. Doesn't speak the language, doesn't know the culture, has no way to communicate but for the fact that he happens to speak Portuguese. And there are some priests from Portugal that are in Japan converting people to Catholicism or Christianity. I don't remember if it was Catholicism. Probably was. Anyway, they're there. They speak both Portuguese and Japanese. So, all of his communication, at least at the first part of this book before he starts to learn little nibbles of Japanese, he has to go through them. And are they translating it exactly? Well, we'll see.

[00:04:30]We also have one of the most powerful characters in literature I've ever read in Lord Toronaga. He is one of the Japanese warlords. He is the epitome of patience, of calm, of the ultimate chess player who's looking at all the pieces on the board and not really making moves until he really sees where those pieces are going. That's Lord Toronaga. But he's fascinated with John Blackthornne because they don't have a navy. He's wondering, "How could we get something like that?" He There was a scene in here where John Blackthornne is diving off of a ship. They never dove off a ship before. They just kind of cannonal it into the water. There's just incredible amounts of detail in this book. And I apologize if my light is kind of flashing off of the book cover. This is a leatherbound edition and it glows.

[00:05:19]Anyway, I certainly can't wrap up a 12,200 page book in a little YouTube video other than to say I wish I read this sooner. This was just a journey that I went on that I encourage everybody to go on. I don't care that it's long. I don't care that there's going to be parts that are going to be slower than others. You will feel accomplished when you read Shogun, and I think you'll be glad you did. I don't know a single person that has read Shogun and said, "Gosh, I'm really sorry I read that book." All right, let's move on to 1980. And this is a book I don't have in physical, but I will show a graphic right here. We're in 1980. The author is Gene Wolf. And of course, I am talking about Shadow of the Torturer, which is book one in his book of the New Sun. I really wish I would have read this sooner because I didn't know you could do in a series or a book what Gene Wolf has done. He's combined science fiction. He's combined fantasy. We are set in a distant future of we believe earth. The sun is going out and people have sort of regressed a little bit to maybe where our ancestors were yet they have some abilities and they have some mechanics that are farther advanced than we are right now. It's kind of a jumble.

[00:06:37]And the reason why I wish I read it sooner is not just for the genre blend, but for the idea that you could write a story at face value and get meaning out of it. And you can read a story and you understand what happened, you think, and you move on. Or you can dive a little deeper into it and really understand what Gene Wolf is kind of doing on a second level. Then you could read the book again or in my case watch other videos of booktubers that have read this book and this series the book of the new sun many times and find all kinds of new things that you sit back and you said wait a minute I read that book I don't remember that happening and it's not until they explain it that you understand that a setting that you think was a tower might not be a tower at all and a person doing this might not have been doing this at all. They might have been doing that. And the discovery or the discoverability I should say of not only character motivations and the world itself is there for you in the shadow of the torture. Is it the most engaging thrilling book I've ever read? Not really. It is a bit of a hero's journey in that we've got Searian who is a torturer's guild apprentice. He starts this book as a child. He becomes, you know, a little bit older as this book goes on. on the shadow of the torture and is kind of wandering around his main section of the city that he lives in.

[00:08:04]And he gets out of that sort of at the end of this book and moves on to Claw the Consiliator, which is book two and three and four, even taken beyond that.

[00:08:12]And certainly the Earth of the New Sun, which is the follow-up book to The Book of the New Sun, takes us off planet entirely.

[00:08:20]This is just a weird book, and I wish I would have read it sooner cuz it's mindexpanding. I didn't know you could do this in a novel. I didn't know I could read a whole book and have somebody tell me what happened and I feel like we read two different books. I find that fascinating. Now, I know some people find that aggravating because they don't want to figure out a mystery wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in an enigma. They don't want that. They just want to know the story at face value.

[00:08:47]I'm a little bit different. I loved it when I heard some people explain what I read and what I thought I knew about it wasn't even close. Book of the New Sun.

[00:08:57]I'm really glad I read it. Starts with Shadow of the Torture from 1980. Let's move on to a book that is the opposite of Shadow of the Torture in literally every way possible.

[00:09:08]Searian is a character in Book of the New Son. I could take him or leave him.

[00:09:12]But in 1985's publication of Larry McMerry's Lonesome Dove, quite the opposite. The character work in this book is in the top five books I've ever read. full stop. Period. I cannot tell you how much I grew to love or dislike actively the characters in Lonesome Dove. The plot itself, it's kind of there just to move the story along. I don't think too many of us that aren't non-fiction readers would care a whole lot about a cattle drive that starts in the southernmost tip of Texas going all the way up, you know, to the north of the country in Montana. That does not sound like a story that I think a lot of us would find enthralling or something we want to spend this much time with because this is a really big book. But there's a reason for it and there's a reason why that cattle drive is so incredible and it's because Larry Mc Merryury writes the best characters in books that I've ever read. I can read them sitting around a campfire talking about literally nothing for a hundred pages and I'm satisfied because they feel human. They feel real. Some of them you may feel like you know people that are like this or have elements of Gus or have elements of call to their personality. And you'll recognize them very clearly here because Larry McMerry is unbelievable at creating three-dimensional characters. There's no flat characters period in Lonesome Dove.

[00:10:45]You're going to enjoy this book. There are going to be parts that you will be fistp pumping happy about. There are going to be parts that will flatten you and you will feel hollowed out when some of your favorite people who started on this journey from Texas don't make it to Montana cuz times were treacherous back then for all kinds of reasons that you'll find out about in this book. This is really technically book three in his series, but it works perfectly as a standalone. That's how I initially read it. It's a huge recommend. 1985's Lonesome Dove. It's made its rounds on book. I don't know a ton of people who dislike this book. I would give it a try. Give yourself a little bit of time and absorb it. I've not read anything like it before. All right, let's talk about another big book. Another one I'm going to show you a graphic for. This is 1987's Robert McCammon's masterpiece called Swansong. I didn't know what this book was about. I knew the book was huge, but I didn't know what it was about. I didn't know if it was science fiction, fantasy. I had no clue. I didn't read a blurb. I didn't watch a review. I just heard this is a good book and Brian, you'll probably enjoy it. So, I open up the book and what's happening? Well, the bombs are falling. We are in nuclear fallout essentially. We're dystopian future sort of set in I believe it starts in about what we would consider the 1980s and we go on from there. Now, the beauty of this book is kind of twofold. One, the plot itself. There's active movement within the story.

[00:12:20]There's not those sit around the campfire and talk moments all that much like we get in Lonesome Dove that we're going to find here in Swansong. Things are always in movement. Things are always progressing. Also, the characters are very clearly established. Now, he doesn't write 3D characters, you know, the way that Larry McMerry does, but he writes them in a way that they develop and they can develop more good from good and they can develop more bad to worse.

[00:12:52]And that's what we get here in Swansong.

[00:12:54]I've always heard kind of a saying that, you know, money only makes you more of what you were before you got the money.

[00:13:00]We get kind of the same thing here. But substitute money for nuclear disaster, right? It will make a person, if they were already a really good-hearted person, it might make them a warmer person trying to help everybody out. If they were already a greedy, selfish person at heart, that might expand into the horrific. And we kind of get that in Swansong. I shouldn't say kind of. We absolutely get that in Swansong. The good becomes the best, the bad becomes far and away the worst. And we see this clearly as a good and evil story by the time we get to the end of this. I was left moved by it. And I could not believe for the life of me that it took me that long to read a book that came out in 1987.

[00:13:50]Robert McCann, I would go get that book.

[00:13:52]You're going to like it. It's going to take you a hot minute to read. By the way, I should say before getting into the '9s, cuz that's where our next stop is. If you like this video, if you like these kinds of videos, do me a favor, hit that like button. It does help the channel grow. And if you want to hang out more, hit that free subscribe button. Our channel's growing crazy.

[00:14:11]We've got like 500 new subscribers in last week. So, thank you guys for that.

[00:14:15]All right, we are in the 90s. Let's get to 1995.

[00:14:20]We're going to talk about an author who is many times on book called an author's author. Well, what do I mean by that?

[00:14:27]What I mean is this is an author that a lot of very prolific well-known pros artists, storytellers look to as somebody that they consider really the guy to go out and write like. And of course, I'm talking about Guy Gabriel K, the book in particular for this video. I wish I would have read it sooner. The Lions of Al Ran. Now, this book, it's not really a genre book as we cover on this channel a lot. It's not fantasy.

[00:14:57]It's not sci-fi. There's some elements of magical realism here. But what guy Gabriel Kay does in many of his books is he will take a setting and in this particular case it is kind of medievalish Spain and it's not but it's not Spain but he'll take a character like El Sid and he'll convert it into somebody else and you kind of get the correlation between the two. The really nice thing about the lines of our son is not only that it's a standalone book, which guy Gabriel K does a lot because we're always kind of clamoring for more standalones, I think, in the fantasy world over here in which I live. This is certainly a standalone book. But it also does something great in that it focuses our attention really on three main characters. It's not a malasin where we have to remember thousand name characters. It's not the Wheel of Time where there's continents, you know, upon continents going on and all of this stuff to keep in the back of our mind and we're flipping through the glossery a million times to remember who's who and what's what and where's where. The Lions of Alan is extraordinarily focused and the characters we get are deep.

[00:16:07]They're rich. They're compelling. We want to know how this story goes. We want to know what happens at the end.

[00:16:14]And you're probably going to have one or the other character in here that you're rooting for. And I have plenty of friends that have rooted for one guy and another friend that rooted for another guy and you'll find out kind of where that story takes us. But 1995's The Lion of Al the Lions of Al Ran. It's a huge recommend. I've recommended it many times before on the channel. All right, I just mentioned a series. This one started in 1999. I wish I would have read this sooner. And the reason why I didn't is cuz everyone talked me into all this is so hard and all this learning curve is so steep and you're going to get dropped in the action and you just need to trust the author to take you where you're going and blah blah blah. And I was like you know what that sounds like work and I read for recreation. I don't want to read for work and I wish I wouldn't have listened to any of them and I wish I would have read Stephen Ericson's Gardens of the Moon way earlier than I did. I started this two years ago. I finished up The Crippled God, which is book 10 in the Maleasm Book of the Fallen in January of 2026. I wish I would have read this sooner. This is the opposite of the book that I was just talking about. This is not three characters. This is more like 3,000 characters. This is not one little section of land. This is an entire planet and different continents. And from book to book, we're bouncing back and forth, not only between different continents in terms of world building and location, we're bouncing back and forth between cast members. Some of the main characters in this book, you're not going to see in book two. You're going to have to wait till book three for him to come out. This is without a doubt the most complex series I've ever read. And I say that not as a warning, but as a feature, because how he starts these plot points in book one, ties them all together somehow miraculously by book 10, it's just an incredible feat of writing. And I've not read anybody that's done anything like it before, not even The Wheel of Time, because The Wheel of Time has way less characters.

[00:18:14]we have kind of a clear idea of where the story is going and what the main character is trying to do. In this book, we're not exactly sure, I should say, in Molassin itself. We're not exactly sure what the right thing to do is and who's good and who's not. It's a lot of gray stuff, but there's certainly some standouts that I think you'll consider to be good versus not good. But I really wish I would have read Molassin earlier.

[00:18:41]Don't let anybody talk you out of it being too hard. If you're an audiobook listener, this is on audiobook. Uh my friend Derry's listening to it right now on audio. Don't do what I did. Don't think that this is going to be too difficult. Judge for yourself. Give it a few chapters. If it's not for you right now, then it's not for you right now.

[00:19:01]But you're not going to read anything, trust me, like Malazin. Period. Full stop. All right, let's move on.

[00:19:09]Next book. Oh my gosh, this came out in 2002.

[00:19:14]This came out 24 years ago. All right, here's another author that we're kind of going back to backto back with incredible authors. And this one I've talked about a ton on my channel because I'm reading her series, The Wars, Light, and Shadow. That's not what I'm talking about today. Talking about Janney Wartz's 2002 release to ride Hell's Chasm. This is a standalone book, but it's a chunky one, but it's fantastic.

[00:19:39]Nobody writes like Janney Wartz. And I don't say that to put her on a pedestal.

[00:19:43]I mean that quite literally. Nobody writes a sentence like Janney Wartz does. You could give me 10 sentences in a row and I could point out the one that Janney Wartz wrote because structurally she writes different to intentionally slow the reader down to focus and not skim so you don't miss critical details.

[00:20:01]She's also really good about just in case you missed that detail, she's going to put it again later. And just in case you miss it a second time, you can rest assured she's going to put it in a third time so you don't miss it. But to write Hell's Chasm really focuses on about really two or three main characters.

[00:20:17]That's all you need to know. First half of this book is basically a mystery. A princess has gone missing on her wedding night. We don't know where she is. We don't know if she's alive or not. We don't know if she's been abducted. We don't know if she ran away. We have no clue. The second half of this book is an action adventure story done only the way Janny Wartz can do it. It's a big recommend for me, not only for the book itself, but for the author herself. If you want to know, would I like Janie Wart's books? Because prior to this, the only thing I had read was the Empire series that she did with Raymond E.

[00:20:49]Feist. And I was such a big Feist fan, I didn't know which parts of that book were Jany or which parts were Raymond.

[00:20:56]So, it kind of fell into the Raymon E Feist camp when I was reading the Rift War, you know, books. This is all Janney words. And she even told me before you get into what she considers, you know, the big series is how she puts it, the Wars of Light and Shadow, read Hell's Chasm. See if you dig how she writes.

[00:21:16]See if you like the fact she forces the reader to slow down and pay attention and not miss critical details. I am glad I read this book. It absolutely got me fired up to read the Wars of Light and Shadow. I'm now on book eight and of 11.

[00:21:30]And when I get done with those, you know, I'm going to go read all her rest of her catalog because she's fantastic.

[00:21:35]To ride Hell's Chasm, 2002. Let's keep moving. We are now in 2004, 22 years ago. This is a hard book to recommend. A little bit like Shadow of the Torch is hard book to recommend because everybody's going to read this quite differently. This is six stories combined into one book that is structurally more unique than anything I've ever read before. I am talking about David Mitchell's cloud atlas six stories one book structurally what do I mean by different well he tells the first six stories then after we get done with you know story number six we go in reverse and story seven is the second half of story six story eight is the second half of story five and so on and so forth and it go starts you know all the way back in time moves up way ahead into the far future and then moves backwards again. And we see the string that runs through all of these tales.

[00:22:36]Now, honestly, some of this book I could not stand. Some of this book is some of the best reading I've ever done because the nature of the stories within this book are so different from each other that it makes sense that some are going to land better with you than others.

[00:22:52]I'll give you an example of the book Hyperion. I if you've read it before, you know what I mean. that some stories, maybe the priest's tale or maybe the scholars tale, maybe the poet's tale, hit you better than other stories within the book. Same here with Cloud Atlas.

[00:23:07]The difference is is that I've just not read anything structurally like this. I didn't know it was possible since this book came out 22 years ago. It's kind of like shame on me for not reading it. In all fairness to me though, I will say this book is a lot of science fiction going on here and every bookstore has this in the literary fiction category. I do not know why this absolutely should be in science fiction. There is a ton of science fiction in here. Why it's in literary fiction? I think it's because of David Mitchell himself and maybe they feel like they want to elevate him as an author by putting him in the literary fiction. Be that as that may, Cloud Atlas is a recommend for me because of the fact you'll have never read anything like this book before. And there is something to be said for reading something new. All right, let's get to the book 10 on this list. Already, book 10. Wow. All right, so this book, I can't believe I didn't read it. This came out 20 years ago in 2006 by Lord Grim Dark himself, Joe Abberrombie. in my opinion, the funniest dude working in fantasy today. Yeah, it's book one in the First Law universe.

[00:24:20]We're talking about The Blade Itself.

[00:24:22]Plot-wise, this book gets absolutely smashed all the time by people saying, "Well, there is no plot. Nothing happens." Blah, blah, blah. I believe that to be incorrect. A lot happens in this book, and it's character work. We learn about Glocka, who is a top 10 fantasy character of mine of all time.

[00:24:42]We learn about Logan Ninefingers. We learn about Bayz, the wi the wizard.

[00:24:47]These are critical characters to all of the first law universe. And you got to start somewhere. And he decided to make the blade itself really mostly a character story where we're going to have these people ingrained in our minds. So when they do go off on adventures, when they do advance plot, we know who we're dealing with intimately well. This book is also as grim as they, you know, as they may claim it to be and as bleak of an atmosphere as it seems. The book is also hilarious. It's dark comedy at its best.

[00:25:22]There are laugh out loud moments all over this book. And I'm somebody who appreciates humor in the books, in my books at least that I read. And if you are one as well, you're going to like this. Now, it's not straight up satire or comedy like a Discworld or Hitchhiker's Guide or anything like that, but there are human moments in here where you can absolutely say to yourself, "Yeah, I could see somebody who's been tortured and had all of his teeth knocked out saying something exactly like Joe Abberrombie just wrote it." And it's kind of like you just laugh and you turn the page. The Blade Itself 20 years ago this came out. I can't believe it. I have read everything in the First Lost uh universe so far. I would say that the only reason maybe I'm kind of maybe glad that I put off reading it as long as I did is that I didn't have to wait for new books.

[00:26:10]Everything was already out by the time I picked this book up a couple of years ago. If you've not read The First Law, surely you've heard of it. Give The Blade Itself a try. Even though it looks like it's a long book, it reads really quickly. The writing is highly accessible. We're not talking about Janney Wartz. We're not talking about Ericen. We're not talking about David Mitchell, you know. We're not talking about Gene Wolf. Certainly, you will fly through this book even though it does look a little bit on the big side. All right, a couple of things real quick.

[00:26:40]Housekeeping wise before we do a one for the road today. Want to thank everybody who signed up for our Patreon. It's less than two bucks. It's in the description below. If you want to join it, absolutely, we'd love to have you. Quick update on Bell Works Audio. So, if you've not heard of that before, or if you have and you're wondering what the heck is going on with Bell Works Audio, in March, we tried to run a Kickstarter for Bellworks Audio. I Brian made a big mistake and set the target way too high, not realizing fully the level of support that we would get. And we got a ton of support, just not enough to click over the meter for Kickstarter to fund the entire project. Also, Kickstarter refused to allow me to reimburse anybody for the purchase of the audiobooks that we're creating. So, we called an audible. We called a timeout. We said, "Okay, let's forget Kickstarter altogether. Let's do it ourselves." So, depending on when you see this video, if you go to bellworksaudio.com and there's Yeah, there's a link in the description below, you're going to find either one of two things. You're going to find either a landing page that's got the email address that you can type in there for when we make an update about when it goes live. You can do that or you may already see it live depending, like I said, when you see this video. Then you'll be able to pledge support for the creation of Bellworks Audio as a company. And you'll see for yourself what the different tier levels are.

[00:28:05]There's everything I think from $5 all the way on up to create the company more focused on the company than the books themselves, but I've already got two books that we're ready to rock and roll as soon as we get the company up and running. And they're going to be fantastic. And you're also going to get the audio books as you, you know, make pledges because in I don't have Kickstarter to tell me I can't do it anymore. All you're going to have to do is show me a pro proof of purchase.

[00:28:31]You're going to get reimbured. So that works out really well. Let's do a one for the road today. And of course, I will show you some Merlin photos during this because I know what you're here for. You're here for Merlin more than me. Anyway, all right. Short one for the road today because this video is kind of been a long one. And like I said, this is the third time I'm shooting it. Would have, could have, should have, right? Do you know people like that? Do you do that yourself? I would have, could have, should have. Wish I'd done this differently. Wish I would have gone left instead of right. Some people call them regrets. Whatever the case may be, what a could a shoulda what do I mean by making this a one for the road? So many of us including myself. All right, and that's where a lot of these one for the roads are generated from is me examining myself going where have I kind of fallen down in the places that I would have rather not. And would a could have, should have is something that's meaningful to me. I wish I would have done this instead of that. I could have been a this instead of what I am. I should have gone, you know, like I said, left when I knew I should have gone right. These are mental traps that we can get sucked into that have no clear way out because we can would a could have, should ourselves for years. Okay?

[00:29:49]Some of us will do it for a day or two and move on. Some of us will spend decades going, I would have, could have, should have done this, and now my life is X when it could have been 10 times X if I'd have only done blank. Do you know where that gets us? Kind of nowhere. It gives us information and I suspect at the time you probably made the best choice you could with the information that you had at the time or you wouldn't have done what you did. Right? My short one for the road today is if you catch yourself doing the would a could a shoulda stuff, stop yourself. It's not useful. I don't care if you are 15 years old watching this video. I don't care if you're 85 years old watching this video.

[00:30:33]You still have time to make plenty other decisions. You can take a shift in your life career-wise, uh, personalitywise, intentionally meeting other people you don't know. I'll give you a story. One of the reasons I started this channel is because I saw Philip Chase the best of fantasy on book. I saw Mike from Mike's book reviews and I said you know what I want to be friends with those guys and I thought to myself what's one way I could do that. Well, I could comment on all their videos like everybody else and that would be fine and I know they would appreciate that. Or I could try doing what they do and if this is, you know, a success at any degree at any level, maybe we could do collaborations together and maybe we could become friends. And that's exactly what happened. And I'm glad I did that because I know had I not done that right now, I would be maybe filming a video saying, you know, guys, I really would have, could have, should have done a channel a few years ago, but I was worried I didn't have the right equipment, or I was worried nobody was going to watch, or I was worried I wouldn't be a good communicator.

[00:31:37]Whatever the case may be, let's make a commitment to each other to stop the would a could a shoulda stuff and just move on with our lives and say, "I'm going to do this." Period. And if that decision involves some of the lessons you learned along the way, maybe those lessons were there for a reason. I would love to know in the comments, because of course I ask for comments. I always ask for comments. What are some books you've read recently that have been out, say, 20 years or more, that you wish you would have gotten to sooner, that you think might have made an impact on your reading life, which many times translates to our personal and professional life? Leave them in the comments. I answer all the comments. You know, I do. That's what I've got for you guys today. Stay positive, everybody.

[00:32:20]It's the third time I made this video, so hopefully everything works. You know what I'm going to tell you next. Here's your fortune.
