Yeah I like for the fantastical stuff to smack in the face mid third chapter with no warning. Oh hello magical realism!

You didn’t read it correctly

Not including Murakami is a wild move.

Awesome idea!!

Thanks for reading Wieland and The Testaments so I don't have to....

yeah i can see why he rated charles dickins book quite low cause his way of writing is really hard and too much but i did enjoy his novels especially a tale of two cities so yeah it's an objective opinion.

SOMEONE GETS IT

the only fantasy world building i will ever care about is the lord of the rings

unfortunately bluestockings has been incredibly biased with issues regarding the middle east so while it’s still a good idea to support an independent bookstore in nyc like bluestockings be aware that there are many other independent bookstores that don’t have such a clear cut bias in their views on the middle east. allstora gets a thumbs up for simply labeling books about the middle east as “middle east” and not stating one “side” versus another.

Can I go to the charity shop 🥺🥺

Done right it’s the best… but if it’s to chaotic, it’s gonna be a no from me dawg

On the Road is my favorite book 😭

Teenager jack ❤ how cute

this video is my comfort RUclips video ❤️❤️ it just feels like hanging out with a friend

Now the question is how many of those have you read

White Teeth by Zadie Smith

Watch the film then its brilliant... with that said books are always better...

I remember I was on a bus and saw a girl reading the end of a little life and I was crying for her

How are Life of Pi, The book thief, Hitchhikers guide.... classic books? Sorry but some some of the choices here seem completely random

purchasing so many Joan Didion books and so few of them being read is me with Murakami lmao

Is my ADHD the reason I absolutely LOVED Fourth Wing’s constant stimulation but hated Happy Place for constant flashbacks…..

the Nescafe mug

Hamnet was phenomenal. O'Farrell is a great writer.

Weirdo does not hit anymore lmao if someone called me a weirdo thinking it would sting me, all I could do is laugh.. like yes, and? 😂💀 Maybe it’s just in America, but people want to be as quirky as possible these days

I always see this book in Barnes and Noble and think that it's a smutty romance book 💀 but it's good to know what it's actually about!

Her having Salt Houses on the shelves is a major greeen flag!

The way I checked out Foster immediately 😂

Has anyone read letters from the lighthouse, if u like ww2 (world War Two) O do recommend I also recommend holes

Dune is a tough book to get through, dont worry.

He shaves her 'Jane hair'. Classic

read RK Naryan books they are super unique in nature

Yes. Crossover episodes are the best. Especially when the current Power Rangers franchise teams up the past Power Rangers franchise. Like time force and wild force. THAT was the highlight of crossover episodes

I'm curtently reading "Yellowface" (I know, late to the party 🤷🏼‍♀️), I'm almost halfway through, and honestly, I don't think the author can do the writing thing that well... I mean, for a minute I thought it was due to translation issues (I'm reading the Polish edition and I feel like the translation is not the best), but no, the further O read, the more I believe it's just her style that is... Idk, coarse? Unsubtle? Like, she makes a few interesting points and touvhes on multiple subjects connected with race, cultural appropriation, and publishing industry/showbusiness, but reading the book just feels like she had a list that she went through as she was writing - everything is quite linear, each rpoblem is first introduced, and then either quickly dealt with or just neglected, kind of like "ok, cultural appropriation discussion - checked, impostor syndrome - checked, rise and fall - checked " etc. Also, the writing style feels a bit awkward to me, like it was carefully crafted in creative writing classes but not really hearfelt, like she was just a good craftswoman, but definitely lot an artist. It feels forced, somehow. I mean, ot's not the worst book out there, but for now, it's a 3/5 for me. And I'm not even that demanding as a reader 😅

Nah, this book is making me realise that my former boss 100% read and applied many of the rules on me and others. That’s honestly some disturbing shit. Thank you for introducing the book to us!

Actually I think the book thief is already sometimes read in german schools or at least counts as a modern classic, especially with the movie version. I don't know for sure but I heard so much abou it here. Just like the stuff of Daniel Kehlmann which is often done in school here.

Hi Jack, This is exactly the video I was looking for to know if I should read the books after watching the show. I just feel I gained hours on my reading life thanks to you! Would have loved to see the same analysis for seasons 2 and 3 but I wouldn’t want you to have to go through more of those 😅, Thanks a lot for this one already!!

I don't like any classic book written by americans.

Good pick

for me its way easier to get invested into the heavy world building after i have some bearing with the character and the story

me coming for the psychoanalyzing and staying for jack's one-liners haha

This is so me, cause I mainly read horror/thriller so I'm used to being in the characters' minds instead of the world

loved it jack

can you please do a video reading emma watson books?! she's my favorite🥰

Congrats on getting your English Literature degree! I'll tell you what I tell most people I encounter who have an English Literature degree: "I'll have a latte, please" JK, congrats for real, though!

(Sorry, not a BTS stan here lol) - why is Namjoon also known as "RM"?

I love reading the acknowledgements in books bc there's this circle of of authors who write queer ya, and other diverse characters. They all thank each other. (The list is like, becky albertalli, adam silvera, angie thomas, adib khoram, etc etc)

Thank you Jack❤. I've been reading the books you recommend. Some of the books are not available here in the US. I don't know why. I read 15 of the books on your lists. 🎉Thanks again! 😊

I loved dune but the first few chapters I kept googling words thinking I was missing vocabulary just to see Dune reddits as the only answer lol.

(This is AN ACTUAL THING I WROTE AT 1AM AT A BAR when the meaning of life hit me in the face its actually scary) I don’t wanna be buried six feet under the ground I don’t wanna be hung high above your heads I don’t wanna lay on the ground My life passing before my eyes Unable to truly know If i made it Or not Without a certainty Without risking myself and who I wasn’t And could’ve been (??? I dont get it and im the one who wrote it)
