The Power of Books · Two Takes, One Marriage

• Susan: back. How you feeling, Better ⁓ last week. ⁓ good. I still have a cough, though. It's kind of annoying. Yeah, coughs can be annoying. I feel like I've had a cough since, like, ⁓ don't know, forever. Just randomly it will come up. No, get a cough, get in a coughing fit, until my lungs hurt. ⁓ don't hear that from me every so often? What do mean? Am I coughing, Fitz? Where I sound like I'm croaking? No, I haven't noticed that. Yes, you have. Remember when I coughed the other night and I was like... ⁓ yes. I do remember that. Yeah. Like those coughs. I have them on and off. I've had them on and off since we got married. Remember? Yeah. Where I'm like, sounds like I'm coughing up a lung or something. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you do get into that sometimes. But we're glad you are feeling better. We enjoyed having our guest speaker on. What do you think about that episode babe? Heard you listened to it. ⁓ y'all had a lot to say about me and her boyfriend well, here's the people we're in a relationship with yes, I know it's your it's your update time. Do you your update for the Braves? ⁓ Not too much has happened. It's just been spring training ⁓ And the ⁓ baseball world classic is ⁓ going on right now, too and the bright the US almost got eliminated because they didn't take one of their games seriously ⁓ But Italy won last night, so it moved us on to the next round. Italy won or Italy lost? Italy won. They beat Mexico because we beat Mexico and we needed a bunch of things to happen if Italy didn't win. Because Italy beat us the other day. But they stomped Mexico last night, so we got to move on to the next round. ⁓ But the Braves are in spring training are 12, 5 and 2. So it's been a pretty good spring training. Yeah, the Braves have not been doing well on their spring training, no lie. I saw them in the kind of on the lower, lower scale of the league that they're in. ⁓ and they did give a little more updates on. Braves Division just how you can get it on the MLB app. You can pay $100 for getting the Braves for the entire season with no blackouts and you can pay $200 to get access to all of the MLB games but games other than MLB will have some blackouts if you're not in the area. So, I thought you had all the sports stuff that you need to watch games? Oh, well, I mean, I had Hulu, but Hulu doesn't really... really cover all the MLB games. But it covers a majority of them, right? Yeah, I mean like, ⁓ Like if it's not there, you I mean, I'll always be able to watch one, but it's not... It's just the ones that the networks are covering that I have on live Hulu. So like, I wouldn't be able to pick a specific... game to watch. I know that, I'm just saying. But mostly, it's good for... like college stuff. like if I want to watch college basketball or college football. My question is, are you going to invest in the MLB TV? I'm not going to pay for the whole league because I really want to watch the Braves, but I have considered getting Braves vision. So I can watch all the games. So today, me and Jono kind of talked about what we were going to discuss and we have both been reading a book that's his favorite trilogy. He's been listening to the audio while I read beside him on the actual physical copy, because I'm someone who needs a physical copy. I like having a physical copy, especially like to kind of follow along. That's just how my brain works. And then, yeah, so we were just talking about books and we're like, ⁓ well, let's do a book episode. So this is going to be ⁓ very booked based. So we'll just see how it's. What books we like, like just random things about books. So excited. yeah. OK. So the book that we're reading right now, what is it? ⁓ ⁓ Brandon Sanderson fans out there? Introduced her to ⁓ Cosmere. ⁓ the first ⁓ that I read for ⁓ was the Mistborn era one. And that's my favorite trilogy and in all Brandon's works. I know there's a lot more out there that a lot of other people would say that are better. But yeah, so we're on the final empire right now, the first book in era one. Yeah. And every time I want to go to read it, he's doing something else and we're reading it together. So I can't. I don't. Not every time, but this week it's been like... Yeah. Well, we got halfway through it. Like, we're a little more than halfway. Yeah, and it's getting interesting now. just... I'm like wanting to finish it, because I probably would have already finished it right now if I wasn't having to try to align with you, but I also... And Book 2 is my favorite, but it it kind of starts off slow, and then at the end, like, it's just boom boom everything. I like so much about the world and I like books sometimes like that, but at the same time, it depends because sometimes it's like this is these are big. Which one is it? ⁓ It's still a pretty big book. Like, it's still got a lot of chapters. Yeah, and that's- And most chapters- ⁓ the Stormlight Archive books are a lot bigger. Well, okay. So, the thing is, that most books that are slow starts aren't, like, a ton of chapters like his are. And so, for me, that's gonna be a problem unless- unless I'm learning a lot. So if it's just gonna be like a we're gonna rewind go back to the past and we're just gonna get caught up that's cool I can do that. I don't know if it's gonna be like a drag and it's like a day by day kind of play and it's very boring and very like I'm not really getting anything. I will have a hard time getting through it but I will do it for you. Well, mean, don't really think book two's all that. mean, like, things are happening the entire time. I'm going to tell you right now, I think that book is bigger than any book that you've ever had. Which one is it? Sarah J. Maas book. ⁓ Court of Flames or whatever. Silver Flames. That one's, one's, hers are like huge. But those ones I would not recommend to people. like other than specific people. Because it is inappropriate. It definitely wouldn't be a Hallmark movie type thing. It's like your 50 Shades of Grey type. Okay. Yeah. So. All right. So. What do you think in your life? What book? has impacted your life the most. What book has impacted my life the most? I could get super religious here. I mean, you can if you want to. Go for it. I'm not going to say no. The book that's impacted me the most is probably... Okay. And what is the book about? So, and... It's just another testament of Jesus Christ, basically. ⁓ Of a family that... It starts off with a family that... ⁓ That travels out of Jerusalem because the prophet Lehi was commanded by God to travel, sorry, to leave Jerusalem because it was going to be destroyed. by wickedness. So they left and traveled over to America and it's just ⁓ another testament of people in America. And there's a part towards the end when Christ comes back and ⁓ visits the people of America. Okay. And what lessons stuck with you? Well, You can learn a lot from the prophets that are in there. ⁓ There's prophets that. Let's see our time. Let's see our time. But you don't you don't get to that part till the end. So you got to you got to read the whole thing to get to that part. And you just feel. the presence of the Spirit as you read and ⁓ grow your faith in Christ and God. So would you recommend that book? I recommend it to everyone. Okay. All right. Are there any other books that you would potentially recommend, books that maybe stand out to you or, you know? What's another book that like really would be your first recommendation to someone to read? easy, easy series to get through is probably the Aragon Inheritance series. That's a good, it's one of my favorite series, ⁓ in middle school. I read that multiple times in my life. I still need to read the, ⁓ the MerTag book that came out a few years ago. And then obviously Mistborn. There's some. Leadership skills ⁓ and like character development. stories and those books. Okay. All right. That's good. That's good. ⁓ My book recommendation. I don't know if it's up here. I think it's up here. ⁓ thought it was up here, I'm gonna cry. What happened to it? ⁓ no. ⁓ I kept it because I loved it. That is rude. I need to find it. I could have sworn I kept it. But it's called The Last Bookshop in London. And it got me. So I read it. ⁓ I had gotten all these books. I got all these books that are on these shelves. Most of them I got for like 50 bucks total because this lady who had book clubs, so she had like multiple copies of books. She was selling all of her books. And when I tell you, it was like books on books on books on books. I got like 30 pictures of books and saying, OK, go through the list and see which ones you want. And then she'll tell you the price because I was going through ⁓ Bill's wife. Megan because it was Megan's Megan knew her and so Megan had sent me all these pictures so I got like a ton of like all these books most of these books are from her and one of them was the last bookshop in London and I'd gotten all these books because I was like I'm gonna get back into reading like I miss reading I do thoroughly enjoy reading I just don't push myself to read and I don't like have the time to read. Like I feel like I don't. Especially this week. Yeah, like also I just feel like I procrastinate and I get lazy because it's so much more easier to just scroll my phone and I'm really sick of it. So are you okay? Yeah. Okay. There's a cough fit. Do we need to get you some water? No, I'm okay. You sure? Yeah. Go get you water. You're good. Continue. OK. So. You know, part of me is like thought about maybe if I just delete like certain applications, I'm not as tempted to get on my phone. And that's also why I have like a second phone, quote unquote. It's called a box palma. ⁓ it has all the books on it. Yeah, it has books on it. Like it's basically an e-reader, but you can download apps. So you can download audible you can download Spotify You can download ⁓ the Amazon Kindle app You can download nook if you have a Barnes and Noble nook app Like you can download all the apps and so on back It's like if you were to read on a Kindle. So it's got the same coloring as a Kindle. So it's not color version. It's purely black and white. But you can download apps. So I technically could download apps. They would just not be in color. it's again, it's purely for reading. But I love it because I don't get notifications on it. So if I'm reading on that. I'm not getting notified. So when I get notifications, if I read off my phone and I get notifications, I'm immediately going to that notification to respond because that's the kind of person I am. I am very quick to respond to something, especially if I feel like it needs a response, but I also don't want the person waiting on me to respond. And I also don't like seeing notifications on my phone. I like them all to be. And that's why our relationship has worked so well. because we both are the same way. You are not. If you look at your phone, you have like no, you have all those red dots of notifications. I can't I can't stand it. What red dots? Well, they're not red dots, but they're the icons that the badge that's by like if you have a text and it has a one next to it. You have you have like so many of those. I need those all to be zero for me. Cause I, I don't know. let my emails get big, but I used to clear them out all the time cause I didn't like seeing big numbers. Yeah. No, I can't, I can't stand seeing a single number. So I completely go in there or I turn it off. I turn it off so I don't just meant response wise. mean the past few weeks I haven't been as good about it, but I meant response wise. ⁓ response? Not notifications, but. ⁓ okay. I thought you were talking like. No, that's the thing. I see a notification and I have to look at that notification to make the notification go away. It depends on the notification for me. No, I like I'll clear it out if it's like a ring notification or like I can't. So if we were to look at my notifications, ESPN notification, I always look at Snapchat, TikTok. No, no, no, no. If we were to look at my notifications compared to your notifications, if you scroll up on my like Yeah, I know. But you let them get piled up during the day. So you'll have like 20 notifications from different apps. And then me. But you have a lot of them turned off. Again, I have them turned off for that specific reason because I don't want to be notified. But that was a tangent. Sorry. But the box pommel is really good. It is a little bit expensive. but I think it's worth it if you're definitely someone who likes to read on a Kindle. Like, or you don't want to get a Kindle, you want something small because sometimes I feel like the Kindle's a little bit big for me. ⁓ But yeah, so yeah, I just, I just feel like I've been on my phone just a lot. And so when I got these books, I was like, I'm going to read these books. And I picked up, the last bookshop in London and it was based in World War II. She travels to London and she gets a job working at a bookstore. And so what would happen is, you know, there would be raids and they'd have to go underground and they had a place that they would meet and all and they would go under where they were to their kind of bomb shelter, I guess. when the alarms went off and she would always have a book and she would read to the people and you know people started coming to the shop because it wasn't getting a lot of traction there weren't a lot of people coming in but they started coming after that and people started learning about things and I realized how much books have information in them and that they are a way to escape reality. So when she was reading those books to those people, they weren't thinking about the bombs going off. They weren't thinking about that. They were in a different reality. ⁓ They were in a different world and it was a way to escape. It does kind of get like a little graphic, not like too bad. If you want to read the book, it is a historical fiction, so it's not accurate when it comes to like details and stuff, but it is very much based in the timeline that was that. But it was the first book that I read out of the collection and I loved it and I was like. This is why I want to read. Because I want to learn things. I want to get immersed in a different world. you know, it's a way to escape reality. And it's in your head. you can, when you're reading this book, now most of the time when I read about people, I... don't get their features exactly correct. Typically it's kind of the same guy or girl in my mind always. Like they have the same hair color. Like you might say, the author might say, the hair color is blonde. I'm still seeing someone with brown hair in my head. ⁓ ⁓ just how I see it. I don't know why, but I can't see, ⁓ can't see a full ⁓ super entailed detail. ⁓ And I just see people. don't really when people in books talk about like gardens and stuff and they're they're describing things surrounding them in a room or something. I'm not seeing any of that. am. I'm kind of what they look like. No, I'm just I'm pretending that I am just waiting for them to start talking so then I can see them in my head. Talk to each other. I basically just... So you don't even pay attention to them describing their surroundings? No, not really. Sometimes I will skim that part until it gets to the next talking part. Because I just do conversation to conversation. Now, I usually read about where they've gone to. Yeah. But the defined details of it was a scarlet rose so red that it was like a root, like, you know, something like that, where it's very descriptive. That's where I'm like, OK, like you lost me. Let's get to where they actually talk to someone. I don't. Sometimes, I mean, the authors get very descriptive of things. Yeah. And it's like, OK, I'm done hearing about the room. I'm done hearing about this. I want to know the conversation. I want to know what's going on. Yeah. I want to know the action a little bit quickly. So I might I might skip. And I might skim through some descriptive parts. And that's why the speed on the audio book that we're listening to is where it's at, because I'm trying to get through all the script, all real stuff. Yeah, and I'm kind of skimming a little bit. ⁓ That's what I was doing when he was reading at a slower pace. I was basically somewhat rereading ahead, but I would kind of jump to the conversation to know what was happening. But that's just how I read though. Everyone reads differently. The next thing I'd want to talk about is books versus movies. OK. What's what's a what's a book that was turned into a movie that you know of? I know a lot. I know a lot of flops and I know a lot of. Well, there's only one that I think that they. Did a really good job with. Okay, and which one is that one? That's the horror game series. It's the only one that I feel like they stayed very close to the story. There's a few things that... What about Harry Potter? Harry Potter, some of the movies are so changed from the books. Well, also, you have limited time within a movie compared to a book. Yes, but... Hollywood also takes out characters that are important to the story, though. Yes, because they have limited time and can't give you the details of that character. Hollywood always change stuff that you're like, why do you didn't even need to change that? I agree with you. OK, so in your mind, which one's better, the book or the movie? Books are always better. The books are always better. Like hands down, even with the Hunger Games. Yeah. OK, so here's my hack. OK. And people can judge me on this. That's fine. I I will take the judgment. If I have not read the book, I'm OK to watch the movie. And then read the book. I actually like that a little bit better. I mean, that's what I did for most of stuff. Like I saw all the Harry Potter movies before I any of the books. Yes. Well, and I like it better. I don't know why, because again, and the same with the Hunger Games. Keep in mind when people come into my brain, they're usually the same people. look alike. Like I don't really focus on detail. But if they make an adaptation movie and I watch that movie like I did with Harry Potter I had watched for you. No, no, I know exactly what that person looks like because I've already seen him on a movie. So that's ⁓ yeah. So it does. I mean, yeah, I are. Every time I go back and reread the Hunger Games, I just picture. ⁓ Dinner for Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson and all the other people. Yeah, it's all like pictures for the characters. Well, and that's that's my thing. kind of I kind of really enjoy watching a movie before reading a book. So that way. One, I already know the characters, but also the movie is going to be just a snippet and I'm not going to be like. So devastated. reading a book and then watching a movie and then being like, ugh, this was bad. You know, I actually thoroughly enjoy the movie more because they've made the characters real. And those are the characters that I see throughout the film. The worst one is Aragon. Never seen it. Don't. I've never even heard that there were movies made. There's one movie. They made a movie for the first one and it was so bad that they didn't continue. Sad. And you would think that they would do well. They rushed so much stuff. They changed how ever they changed how some of the creatures were. Hmm. They changed how dragons and riders worked. It was was terrible. Yeah. Well, the the book that I want us to read next. City of Bones. Yeah. They turned it into they tried a TV show, then turned it into a movie like it was it was on a flop of what it was going to do. And it's not the best. It is trash. Well, I heard that Brandon Sanderson is working with the what? Was it Amazon or was it HBO? I think you said HBO. think it's HBO and he has a hand and they're making a TV show for the Mistborn era one. well, I will have higher expectations if I read the book first. So unfortunately, I am reading the book first, so I will have higher expectations. Yeah, that's the only bad thing about movies and books. You have no expectation for the movie. If you haven't read the book, so I didn't see what they do, how inquisitors look. I don't want to see that. I don't know if I want to see that. They sound gross. I mean, we already see what they look like. the fans were made them look like in the deck building game. I did not. I didn't pay attention to that. Well, next time we pulled out. Yeah. OK. All righty. ⁓ ⁓ we already did that. Are there any books that you feel were overrated that you heard there was a lot of hype for it you're like, ⁓ it really wasn't that great? Overrated? Mm-hmm. Like a book everyone loves, but you didn't. Not really. Can't really think of any. Okay. I mean, there's not one off the top of my head right this second that I can think of, but I'm pretty sure there was a book that I was like, eh, it's okay, it's not that great. But I can't think of it right this second. Okay. Rapid fire book edition. You have to be quick with this. Okay. I already know the answer. Physical books or audio books? audio. Paperback or hardcover? I like hardcover. Bookmark or dog eared the page? Bookmark. ⁓ Don't dog-ear the page if you do that to one of my books. I have done that in the past but bookmarks are definitely better. Don't do it to my pages. I will bust you up. Well you have bookmarks so we won't ever have to do that. I know but these books have been read by people who've done that and it irks me when I come across it. So you're never borrowing my book again? No I'm never borrowing your book if you do that. I would be mad. I said you they can't borrow your books ever again because they Oh yeah, no. Well, I bought these books like that. Oh, OK. Because of the book club. OK, yeah. I like physical books. We already kind of covered that. I like paperbacks. I do not like hard covers. because I can't fully like get comfortable with them. OK, library or bookstore? Bookstore. Bookstore for me. The only time I want to go to a library is if I really don't want to spend the cash on a book. only time I've gone to library recently is to use the computers. Yeah, no, I like I like to I like to go to the library if it's for a book in which like I only want to read once. I don't want to have. as a collection and I don't want to spend the money on it. And also if they have it, if they don't have it, then they don't have it. Libby. Libby is a good app. It lets you connect to your bookstore or your local library. lets you do e-read books. You do e-checkouts, Yep. It lets you do audio. It's a good... Good one to have, but you have to have a library card. ⁓ read one book at a time or several at once. If ⁓ I'm reading for the first time, it's the one. But I have multiple that I've like read more than many times that I'm in the middle of. For me, it's usually one book at a time, depending, but because we're trying to read a book together, I have started one book, one other physical book here, and then I'm re-listening to an audio book at work. So technically I'm working on three books right now. But one is just a- Well, it's cause we're working on one together and it's having to do with- Sometimes I'm busy doing something else. Yeah. Well, that's why that's why. But the one that I have for work, it's basically I've already read it. I'm just refreshing my brain. Yeah. So that I can go to the next book ⁓ because I haven't read the next book after it. So I need to get caught up on it. So that way my mind's refreshed on where it was. And then reread. That's another thing. I can't if it's a book series and let's say ⁓ So let's say it's a book series and one came out this year and I've read it and then let's say two years down the road, they come out with the second one. I then have to refresh my brain on the first one before I can read the second one, because there is no way my brain has retained that from all this time. So that's that's a one. a quiet room or background noise. well, I listen to books all the time at work, So you like background noise when you read a book? ⁓ I'm listening to it in my headphones so can just tune everything out, so. Well, then you want a quiet room. Yeah. OK. Your preference is a quiet room. Yes. OK. Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction. Mystery or romance? Both fantasy or realistic stories. Fantasy. Long books or short books? Don't matter. Happy ending or tragic ending? Happy ending. Series or standalone books? Series. I like both. So for me, it would be fiction. I prefer mystery more so than romance, but if they're mixed together, it's perfect. Yeah, that's what I... and I like fantasy, but I will be okay with some realistic stories like historical fiction. It's based on like an actual time period, ⁓ but it's still a fiction. It's still not real. ⁓ But like it's not someone's actual true story. It's a... It has bits and pieces that kind of like the movie Journey to Bethlehem. And they did their best to follow the Bible telling of Christ's birth with song. So the songs they kind of had to make up, but it was still kind of based on a true story. So like a true event. So that's how I feel. ⁓ I don't mind the length of the book and I prefer a happy ending to be honest. I don't really like tragic endings. Yeah. Tragic endings or leaving me on a cliff note with nothing really irks me like and I would I think I would prefer a standalone depending on how long the series is. like your series is going to take me. It feels like forever to get through because they're big, but they're also like small sized books. If they were probably a regular size book like one of these, it'd probably be like this size. Well, every one's only three and every two is four. Yeah. Sarah J. Mass's is six books. And that's the one that I'm getting caught up on. Yeah. Then you say it's Skullbones one or City of Bones is multiple? Bones, yeah. Why'd I say Skullbones? I don't know, because it's bones. ⁓ The person who recommended both of those series to me was my sister Holly Jane. Holly Jane. Shout out Holly. Holly Jane. You guys say Holly Jane. ⁓ sorry. It's not Holly. Holly Jane. Don't hate me. Yeah. So with that is she, I think she really loves series. Like I think she thrives off series because that's all she's ever really recommended me is series. And sometimes I need a standalone in between. can't do series after series after series after series. Like I'd like to just read a book and be done with ⁓ saying series so much? Yeah. Series. All righty. Fast reader or slow reader? I'm definitely a slow reader. Do you reread books? All the time. Highlight in books or never touch the page? Please get this right. I don't highlight books. OK, good. The only book I've ever marked up is scriptures. Yes. And that is the only proper one to mark up. Yeah. I don't. Uh, people who annotate books. Why would you do that? I, they like to write their feelings so that- That's what a journal's for. Get a read journal. I know. I know. I know. I know. I feel the same way. Don't write in the book. Don't. Is it like, is it like historical books or something? No. Why are you writing in a fantasy book? Like what do you have to say? I'll show you. I'll show you some Tic-Tacs. I'll show you some Tic-Tacs. Yeah, get heated because I don't know. I just feel like. There's nothing to unless it's a self help book. Yeah. Or like you said, a cookbook history book, something like that. Yeah. Those are exceptional to to mark up. But just a regular book. No. There's the point. don't know. OK. Do you judge books by the cover? No, I sometimes do. usually look at the cover and if I find the cover interesting then I read the okay yeah I yeah yeah I probably do okay I retract that statement finish every book or quit if it's bad I finish every book. Yeah, you do. Sorry. That stalking stuffer, did not expect you to read that whole book, because it... But... No, I did. Alrighty. And you finished it in like... Two nights, it seemed like. Mm-hmm. I did. It took me like a night, like... Two nights and a half, because I think I stopped. It was too late for me to keep reading. I would say I'm probably gonna be finishing the whole book. Okay, book that made you cry. Hunger Games, first one. ⁓ Obviously the Book of Mormon. and happy cry for that one or spiritually cry i guess I tear up more movies though. that scared you. I really read any horror books, so haven't really been scared by a book. Or a book that maybe you feel like could potentially come true that like would be scary. No. Okay. I haven't really experienced that. So the book that made me cry and the one that scared me were the exact same book and I don't remember the name. I remember what it looks like on the front, but I don't remember the name, but I read it and as soon as I was done reading it, I gave it away. I was like, I'm never reading that ever again. Cause it had like, it was a mystery, ⁓ mystery book, like a murder mystery killer. There was a killer and everything, but when I tell you, It had. ⁓ Was it the book that. The girl was also a serial killer. No, that one, I would reread again. That didn't that one didn't. It scared me a little bit, but it didn't like it didn't make me cry. Like this one made me cry because there was. DV in it. SA in it. And just. just devastating like what that family had to go through even though it was all made up and it was all fictional I was like yeah that is shooky a little bit yeah and I was like I'm never reading that again because it it really just boiled inside me that yeah that that could happen A book you couldn't finish. I've finished almost every book I've started. I can't think of one that I haven't. So I don't know. There could be one. That I. Yeah, all the books I've eventually finished.
