That’s 4,000 times somebody looked at my bald head and said:

“Yeah… I’ll hear him out.”

Honestly, I respect it.

Appreciate everybody following along while I figure this whole reading thing out at 53.

We’re just getting started. 📚

Just posted my most personal video yet. Not a typical book review. This one is about a book that found me at exactly the right moment in my life. If you've ever been in a dark place — this one's for you. Link below 👇

Hey, I just wanted to take a second to say THANK YOU.
Grumpa Mike Books just hit 10 subscribers and we're already at 12 and I know that doesn't sound like much to the internet, but to me it means everything.

This channel is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Books have been a huge part of my life, and getting to share that with even one person who gets it? That's the whole point.

So if you're one of those 12 you have my genuine, grumpy, grateful appreciation. You didn't have to show up. You did anyway.

Next stop: 25 subscribers. Let's build something good together. 📚

Voting closed. The people have spoken — by not speaking.
So I made the call.
April read is Jaws by Peter Benchley. The book that made an entire generation afraid of the ocean. The book Spielberg turned into one of the greatest films ever made. And the book that apparently has a whole subplot the movie never touched.
That's the video. Book vs film. What got cut, what got changed, and whether the shark is scarier on the page or the screen.
We're going in. 🦈
Drop your predictions in the comments — book or movie, which one wins?

5 subscribers.

I know some of you are probably smiling at that number. And that's okay, I get it. In the world of YouTube, 5 doesn't exactly set the algorithm on fire.

But I'm not some 25 year-old chasing viral moments.
I'm Grumpa Mike.
And for an older guy who decided to start something new from scratch, 5 real human beings choosing to come along for the ride. That genuinely means something to me.

Every single one of you is the beginning of something. You didn't have to click that button, but you did. And I won't forget that.

Thank you. From the bottom of this old heart. Let's see where this goes together. 📚
