It makes for truly terrible television but that adds to the charm.

I’ve read to my son nearly every night for his entire life. From the time he was just months old. From board books to early readers, classic storybooks and chapter books, we’ve read, I would imagine, well over 1000 books before bed. He’s now 9 and reads for pleasure, usually finishing 4 or 5 books a month. Having had a hand in developing his love for reading is one of my proudest accomplishments in life.

I always say I hope to die reading. I love books so much. I can’t think of a better way to go.

If you haven't seen The Holdovers, you might check it out. Paul Giamatti is great in that movie.

I can support anyone that needs to take time out of there day for a cheeseburger and to look for good books.

are you the guys that keep yelling "books" ?

Paul's father was a professor at Yale and was a commissioner of MLB before passing away suddenly. No wonder Paul's into books like a nerd.

I highly recommend The Word for World is Forest, by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Paul Giammatti wrote the introduction for a wonderful book called ‘The Cone Gatherers’ by Robin Jenkins, a writer who lived locally to me. In fact, when Robin died, my parents were in talks to buy his house - we all went over, and the house was very old, almost wavy. I found a study room tucked away in the back, absolutely stacked to the ceiling with hand written and typed manuscripts. As an aspiring writer myself, it was a special moment, a kind of personal connection not privy to many others outside of his family. Was deeply privileged.

Respect! Book worms are wonderful, especially nowadays.

Now I love them more!

Cordwainer Smith is a proper deep cut, these guys are über nerds.

This video is highly Leafy-approved

Cool stuff

Stephen Colbert and Paul Giamatti need a book club!!

Loved this! Thank you!!!

Paul Giamatti recently called in at the old and rare bookshop I work in. Wanted to tell him how much I loved The Holdovers, but you gotta let people just have their own time and space.

True story: I ran into Paul Giamatti at a book store on Vashon Island, WA in 2019. He was in the SciFi/Fantasy section with a group of friends. I looked him up afterwards and he has ties to Seattle. I didn’t say anything to him but he had a friendly atmosphere.

Love their love for books

Didn't think it was possible to love these two any more, but I have been proven wrong. Love the sci-fi recs! :)

on fire!

Can we just let these two sweet nerdling boys host a book club instead? I'd actually watch that.

This is great.

Talking about books with a fellow bookworm is my favorite pastime. This video made my day. 😁

I'm a connoisseur of old SF books and can tell the uninitiated that these two have incredible taste.

Omg, Cordwainer Smith is one of my favorite authors.

One of the best interviews I've ever seen and I have been watching since Jack Paar!

I do NOT care for science fiction or fantasy books, but do love classic literature and postmodern literature.

Thank you for posting this. Genuine human interaction is lovely to watch.

I would watch a whole series of just these types of conversations.

Does anyone have a list of thr athors mentioned?

So nice to see them both geeking out!!

Who still watches this crap? The only book Stephen is reading is rules for radicals and anything anti-Trump. Guy has lost his mind.

this is too wholesome for the internet. love it.

Books are so important for the development of our minds. It is obvious fewer and fewer people are reading.

It.s great to see two people sharing their passion about something. I didn't knew Paul Giamatti loves SF books.

USED Book stores are the best. Vintage Paperbacks rule. The smell is glorious.

Oh! Check out Dan Simmons' sci-fi stuff. Bueno.

These are two men I've always admired. I love them both now. Now, I've got some book store "diving" to do. Thanks gentlemen for the info and for your brilliant careers! I'm in CT...if you ever need a singer/songwriter for a party, I'm available and cheap (for you).

True story: I ran in to Paul Giamatti at used book store called Iliad in North Hollywood. We were both in the Scfi/ Fantasy section and you could tell he was on the hunt. Saw him a bit later that day and he was chilling on the little couch, reading happily.

Those books looked short....i bet Paul read them both that night. Lol

I'd bet neither has read a book by Thomas Sowell.

Great men read!

Just last Saturday my wife, daughter and I went to pick up our son after his freshman year of college, and we stopped in Silva, NC for lunch, then went for a walk and stopped in a used book shop. I immediately found the sci-fi/fantasy section, which was in a little alcove that, had it had a heavy curtain across the entry, could have been the porno section of an '80s mom & pop video rental place. I scanned the shelves until I found a treasure - a 1978 copy of 'The Best of Murray Leinster', whom I've loved since I read his funny, and amazingly prescient 1946 short story 'A Logic Named Joe', in which he predicted the personal computer, complete with keyboard interface and monitor, and the internet. I could watch these two geek out over sci-fi all day long.

Don't forget Octavia E. Butler, dudes.

In n Out in Salt Lake City is NOT the same.

Love these two nerds❤️

Wow! Validation.

Giamatti’s giddy laugh after receiving the books.

this very much like it is when you find someone else that enjoys something that so few other people you meet are into.
