I read a lot of books, drink too much coffee, and usually go to bed early.

I operate a book club you'll want to join at patreon.com/RandyRay

On this channel, I talk about what I’m reading with fellow book lovers. I focus on classics, literary fiction, fantasy, horror, and science fiction—with the occasional memoir or biography sneaking in.

If you're into smart conversation, forgotten gems, and a few surprises along the way, you're in the right place. And if you're thinking about starting your own BookTube channel—do it. It's easier (and more fun) than you think.

Hey. So here's a recommendation for a BookTuber you should be watching. This is Sam's latest video. But check out his other videos on his channel. He's doing some really cool stuff and making some really cool videos. When you visit his site, tell him that Randy sent you!

Don't miss this, folks. James Ruchala and I will be discussing the Modern Library Accociation's "100 best" list, but we're more interested in chatting with the viewers about anything on your minds.

Most people never become well-read — not because they can’t, but because they never follow a plan.

I just launched the Seriously Well-Read Book Club, built around a 12-month system designed to help you actually become a stronger, more confident reader.

We’re starting with The Hobbit and building from there — one month at a time, with structure, guidance, and a clear path.

If you’ve ever wanted to become seriously well-read… this is where you start.
