Jesse doesn't read the same genres that I enjoy and we don't have much in common with our reading tastes at all, but alas I can't get enough of his energy and his bigger then life personality! I always get so excited seeing a new video show up just to get that good vibing energy he gives off! 💚
The Selection Series is one of my favorites things ever, but Jesse I TOTALLY understand having no desire to read them. They are real guilty pleasures and I wouldn’t recommend them to you, knowing your reading tastes lol. 😂😂
exactly exactly exactly. i read the selection snd they kicked me into reading obsessively but i definitely wouldn’t recommend them for anything other than guilty pleasure 😂
I wasn’t going to write anything, I typically don’t. And of course, whatever you want to read or don’t want to read is completely up to you. But I felt compelled to write, in case there are any curious readers out there that might get a lot out of Lolita. Or anyway I hope they aren’t deterred from picking up other Nabokov books. Because he is a brilliant writer. And besides this brings up a few general talking points about books; their use, power, and the subjectivity of their appraisal. My first point is in regards to the interplay between the content (or plot if you like) of a book, and its language (or how it’s told). One can read a book and be captivated by the language, but put off by the content, and vice versa. And this isn’t universal, each reader has to find what balance between the two is suitable for them on a case by case basis. The question in the case of Lolita becomes, can an extremely well-written book offset disturbing content? And for me, personally, it does. Lolita is one of my favourite books because the writing is so intricate, beautiful, and layered. The narration is insanely clever, by taking an educated yet biased narrator to full advantage we can see both his thoughts and motivations whilst seeing outside that view and criticizing it. And the novel isn’t a direct, sensational account of reality, but fiction interlaced with subtle metaphor, double meanings, creative wordplay. For example, one sound interpretation for the novel is that it metaphorically represents the relationship between Europe and America at the time it was written. That one metaphor shifts the entire narrative. And it’s just one of countless larger metaphors and interpretations surrounding the novel. Yes, the content is disturbing. It’s triggering. And is certainly not for everyone. But I would argue that sometimes avoiding the disturbing aspects of life renders them more powerful. If we aren’t aware of an issue, how can we work to resolve it? There are some books, some media in general, that are uncomfortable to consume. Naked (Mike Leigh) is one of my favourite films, but I can barely watch it. 1984 (another of my favourite books) is very unsettling and difficult for me to reread. Wit (Margaret Edson) is an incredible play, yet even considering watching or reading it makes me verge on tears. The list goes on… For me, consuming media isn’t just about pleasure, indulgence, and comfort. Sometimes it is, and there’s no shame in that whatsoever. But sometimes it’s about testing boundaries, questioning social constructs, catharsis, etc. Sometimes it takes being unsettled to alter your perspective.
Yeh, I get that but personally, I probably won’t feel comfortable reading it. I don’t mean to be rude, I’m glad you enjoy it! Just not for me, reader preferences, I guess.
I also thought that I would never read Lolita, but a member of book club that I was in years ago chose it when it was her turn. The book was not as I had imagined it. I was a science major in college and always that Nabokov would be over my head because I did not enjoy the same sorts of books that my English major friends did. It was uncomfortable reading to be sure. I came away thinking that the term Lolita has been misused as she was not a deliberate seductress. She was a total victim of a pedophile. The book club member chose Lolita because she had just finished reading Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. That book is one of the most thought provoking books that I have ever read. I appreciate your more educated comments on Lolita and about Nabokov.
Getting a notification for Jessie's videos just makes me so happy, like, I feel like I have a book buddy that I never met, he is just so funny and his dynamic just makes me smile and feel better, his channel is just good vibes Love you Jessie
Can I just say that your energy is amazing?! I usually can't stand these types of videos cuz I get very upset when people don't like something I like. But you're so respectful and wonderful with your opinions. You seem really sweet and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
The Selection is one of my all-time favorite series, BUT I understand people who have no interest in it lol. love your videos and your vibes, Jesse! Keep reading and making the book content you love!
@@taliaflor To put it simply, a standard k-drama ( here love triangle) has basically 2 main leads, a second male lead to make the male lead jealous, and a second female lead that tries to ruin the main leads' relationship. Now, why would people end up experiencing second lead syndrome? It's because THE SECOND MALE LEAD IS, MOST OF THE TIME, A LOT NICER, CARING, AND JUST BETTER IN ALL ASPECTS COMPARED TO THE MAIN MALE LEAD. While the second male lead goes above and beyond to make the female lead happy, the main male lead can completely ignore her and not care about her at all, and somehow the female lead always chooses the meaner guy. - quote from quoro
The way you and the comments can easily decide not to read a book/series has me in awe! I can't help but want to read everything, I even started twilight just cause I wanted to know what's up. Hell, I'll probably at some point even go back and finish The Selection and it's not even because it interests me, I just need to know how it all ends 😂
so I'm not sure if Jesse has read this book, but it is one of my all-time favorites and I think it hits the things he enjoys too. Akata witch by nnedi okorafor, it explores African culture, tells a fantastic magical story, as well as has some of the best descriptions/world-building I've ever seen, it isn't romance heavy and the main character has flaws, but those flaws make her stronger in many ways. I really hope Jesse sees this and reads this book. i also recommend it to anyone who reads this comment
I feel you on the twilight opinion. Never seen a movie, never read a book, and no intention of ever doing so. But also, I love that so many people love it, including my own sister. It’s just not my thing 🤷🏼♀️
*tends to avoid reading extremely popular books until several years after they have came out and are no longer being hyped constantly and is the reason why I’ve yet to read a lot of popular series or finish them*
Yop, I feel you, I do the same, there is a lot of series that everybody already read and I'm yet to read it, when it already feels like reading classics😂
I have read the Selection series and my best way to describe it is: fluff. The characters are meh, the plot is driven by the love triangle...etc. I enjoyed it but wouldn't really reread it either. Dont blame you for the opinion to skip it.
I totally understand your point about Lolita..the problem are the kids that actually romanticize the story itself. I'm currently reading it and the writing is absolutely outstanding BUT the story (especially the protagonist) is just always making me sick to my stomach.
Your opinions are valid Jesse! Our reading tastes are very different but everyone’s opinion is valid (unless it’s harmful or intentionally rude to another person)!!!
I agree with you on: Clockwork Angel, Midnight Sun (I am a Twilight fan but have no desire to read it), and you don't want to go there on The Host. Dystopian definitely needs to take a hike for a long while.
I love watching your videos. You really make me feel like you’re not judging anyone’s reading tastes, and although you have your opinions about what you like and don’t like, I never feel like you would think badly of someone who disagrees with you. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like your videos just give me peace. Thank you Jesse 💕
Me, not knowing what Lolita is about: Jesse, saying that he will never read it because of something he doesn't tell: Me looking it up on Goodreads: Same, Jesse. Same.
I’d do the audiobook, not the print. It’s a good book but soooo long, and I would have completely zoned out if the words weren’t being forced into my ears 😹
I totally get and agree with what you said about Lolita. I will never read it, and the plot rubs me the wrong way. My best friend read it a few months ago, and was absolutely revolted by it, but still willingly read it, and I’m not about to judge her for her reading choices even if I don’t agree with them!
I love that you were so respectful throughout this. Even though they were books that don’t appeal to you, you didn’t bash people who do enjoy those books. Not every book is for every person and that’s okay!
Orson Scott Card is actually really good for looking at multiple view points, it’s not everyone’s style and so that’s valid, but for your objection I thought I should mention his story actually follows your objection and responds to it.
No need to apologize for your opinions Jesse, they’re valid! I actually agreed with almost all of them and none of them were any of my favorite books so I wasn’t offended at all but I think that it’s nice that you considered those who it might offend. I hope you’re doing well :)
I don't think he was referring as the rainbow being a bad thing in comparison to the pot of gold, but rather the pot of gold being the reward and the rainbow being the wild, rollercoaster-y journey. That sounded so cheesy, I'm so sorry
Had to pause to say PLEASE read The Host. It was the first Stephanie Meyer book I read and honestly her best one. The movie doesn't do it justice at all the character's relationships are incredible
You should NOT have to say “I’m sorry” for not wanting to read certain books. The fact that you have no interest in them is valid enough. Love your energy and your videos! 💛

@@Studyinbooks Twilight wasn't my cup of tea I never read the books, I watched the movies but they weren't the best, for me the most annoying character was Bella, I would have prefer a book only with the history of Alice and the other '' brothers'' of Edward and how they met their couples in more detail.
It kinda hurts to say, but don't really want to read A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I was SO excited for it because THG is my favourite series, it's so important to me (and people don't appreciate it enough imo) and I thought we were finally gonna get answers to the questions we have, but then I was spoiled for some things and I was so disappointed. I was waiting for Suzanne Collins to come through once again but I just don't vibe with the direction she decided to take. Maybe after all these years I've read too much fanfiction, theories and also just had my own headcanons and it was all so different from what we were given that I just can't accept it as canon given what the original series is like. Dunno if that whole rambling made sense, I tend to get carried away.
completely agree about being burnt out over dystopia im not sure i can ever pick one up again, especially as they're hitting a *little* bit too close to home rn lmao
I get the Lolita one though. I got 5 chapters in and got physically sick from how disgusted I was. No hate to anyone who likes it. I just personally can't do it.
Selection Series: I read it before I saw Hunger Games so I like it better. So yeah, I agree with preference. Lolita: I wont read it too😂 Stephanie Meyer' Twilight series: I read it, watched the movie. Moved on😂 Midnight Sun: I also won't read it. What I won't read: Cassandra Clare's I tried first pages of city of bones--its full of clichè: it's like stories from other books brought together😂
I totally understand why you won’t read the collectors edition of city of bones. I re-read chain of gold and read the edition from fairy loot and it got a little bit damaged and my heart now hurts.
My version of the tag (don’t hate me) 1- Shadow hunters 2- Pride and Prejudice 3- I have no idea 3.5- Again, not sure. Might change 4- James Patterson (the only books I’ve liked by him was the Maximum Ride series) 5- I’m not much of a fan of Sci-fi, but I’m always willing to try a sci-fi books. Give me reeeeccccs 6- Eragon (I am so sorry, I’ll try again eventually) 7- I agree with a Wrinkle in Time, but I didn’t like the first book... I also haven’t finished the Legend trilogy or the Red Queen series, but I have the desire to eventually read the rest of them 8- I don’t really know any books that have come out that I don’t want to read cuz I only really follow the series I like so... yeah... Whatcha think?
The balled of songbirds and snakes, I loved the hunger games series but something about that book just seems like she was bored and wanted more money but hey that’s my opinion
I find that we have completely different book tastes, but I still love hearing you talk about books!!! You do you!!! I always will like to hear your point of view 😆
I will also go with Midnight Sun...because I also didnt like Twilight. I was super happy for the fans of it to get another book, but I read the first one and it was a Nope from me. I hope the fans enjoyed it though!
Yeah, I think you made the bright call on The Selection series. I NEED romance and it got on my nerves at times... I'm gonna say Midnight Sun too. I had hoped SM might have learned from the criticism on how she handled the Quileute in the original series, but from what I cam see it's worse and also she refuses to address or apologize for it, so... there are other books out there for me to read.
It is OKAY to have multiple editions of books! Even if you don’t read that exact copy. So keep collecting those collectors editions! You can be a book collector so these editions are specially made for you!
I'm sure a lot of people will attack me on this but it's The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes by Suzanne Collines for me, idk I guess I'm still a little torn from the hunger games and *inhales the mockingjay but I don't want to reopen that wound and it's a prequel so it's just about the rebellion

I don't think he was referring as the rainbow being a bad thing in comparison to the pot of gold, but rather the pot of gold being the reward and the rainbow being the wild, rollercoaster-y journey. That sounded so cheesy, I'm so sorry
@@roonee7909 ya, I guess that makes sense
For me, the book I'll NEVER read is Fifty Shades of Grey. Just... no. Never. 😁😁
Samee
I read it because I found it at a car boot sale for 50p and I was curious.
Big mistake, I wish I could forget that I read it.
Had to pause to say PLEASE read The Host. It was the first Stephanie Meyer book I read and honestly her best one. The movie doesn't do it justice at all the character's relationships are incredible
You should NOT have to say “I’m sorry” for not wanting to read certain books. The fact that you have no interest in them is valid enough.
Love your energy and your videos! 💛
I love that Jesse has two copies of Again, but Better!
Author j.m. Buckler has a video tutorial on Instagram tv on how to paint your own book edges. If you’re interested in trying to make clockwork angel’s pages sparkly yourself
I understand about Stephanie Meyer. I never actually finished that series. The Host was great!
Thank you for the video!
low key afraid y’all are going to convince me to read the host 🙈
@@jessethereader It´s better than Twilight, so much different and still wating for a sequel that would never exist :(
The Host took me half the book to get in and Twilight was boring 😂 the movies were all better then the books with her (for me)
@@Studyinbooks Twilight wasn't my cup of tea I never read the books, I watched the movies but they weren't the best, for me the most annoying character was Bella, I would have prefer a book only with the history of Alice and the other '' brothers'' of Edward and how they met their couples in more detail.
@@jessethereader It is better than Twilight, definitely ^^
Never been this early
early party!
It kinda hurts to say, but don't really want to read A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I was SO excited for it because THG is my favourite series, it's so important to me (and people don't appreciate it enough imo) and I thought we were finally gonna get answers to the questions we have, but then I was spoiled for some things and I was so disappointed. I was waiting for Suzanne Collins to come through once again but I just don't vibe with the direction she decided to take. Maybe after all these years I've read too much fanfiction, theories and also just had my own headcanons and it was all so different from what we were given that I just can't accept it as canon given what the original series is like. Dunno if that whole rambling made sense, I tend to get carried away.
Oh my, I loved your energy and humor sense.
The video literally flew by because of how much I enjoyed it.
Seeing a little life on your shelf gives me heart palpitations 🥰🥰🥰
completely agree about being burnt out over dystopia im not sure i can ever pick one up again, especially as they're hitting a *little* bit too close to home rn lmao
Guess who's reading Nineteen eighty-four in these times .. Guess I can't be miserable or paranoid enough haha
Corona : Boo !
Yes, clockwork angel deserves the gold edges!
Me: Googles Lolita
Also me: wants to bleach eyes
😬😬😬
I was going to ask yoy what you found but I followed Jesse's advice and yeah, I get it.
@@jge8144 I should have just lived in ignorance. 😂😂😂
same 😂
I had to Google it as well and for once I wish I could unread what I read. The summary makes me say nope on that book.
Same I should have just stayed in Confusion
Seriously so honoured to see you do this tag Jesse!!! Big agree with a Lauren Oliver! Loved watching this so much 🥰🥰
I love your energy tbh
I get the Lolita one though. I got 5 chapters in and got physically sick from how disgusted I was. No hate to anyone who likes it. I just personally can't do it.
Selection Series: I read it before I saw Hunger Games so I like it better. So yeah, I agree with preference.
Lolita: I wont read it too😂
Stephanie Meyer' Twilight series: I read it, watched the movie. Moved on😂
Midnight Sun: I also won't read it.
What I won't read: Cassandra Clare's I tried first pages of city of bones--its full of clichè: it's like stories from other books brought together😂
I totally understand why you won’t read the collectors edition of city of bones.
I re-read chain of gold and read the edition from fairy loot and it got a little bit damaged and my heart now hurts.
My version of the tag (don’t hate me)
1- Shadow hunters
2- Pride and Prejudice
3- I have no idea
3.5- Again, not sure. Might change
4- James Patterson (the only books I’ve liked by him was the Maximum Ride series)
5- I’m not much of a fan of Sci-fi, but I’m always willing to try a sci-fi books. Give me reeeeccccs
6- Eragon (I am so sorry, I’ll try again eventually)
7- I agree with a Wrinkle in Time, but I didn’t like the first book... I also haven’t finished the Legend trilogy or the Red Queen series, but I have the desire to eventually read the rest of them
8- I don’t really know any books that have come out that I don’t want to read cuz I only really follow the series I like so... yeah...
Whatcha think?
YAY! Right when I get home from school he posts! 😁
I will watch Jesse's videos, no matter what they are talking about because I love the editing. His editing is ALWAYS amazing
Thanks so much 🖤
JESSE WITH THE COB COLLECTORS EDITION IS ME WITH THE SOC COLLECTORS EDITION
The balled of songbirds and snakes, I loved the hunger games series but something about that book just seems like she was bored and wanted more money but hey that’s my opinion
I find that we have completely different book tastes, but I still love hearing you talk about books!!! You do you!!! I always will like to hear your point of view 😆
I will also go with Midnight Sun...because I also didnt like Twilight. I was super happy for the fans of it to get another book, but I read the first one and it was a Nope from me. I hope the fans enjoyed it though!
Ahhhhh the editing makes me so happy ☺️
For dystopia all I can think about is the Legend series. I feel that is a good series to describe 2020.
Yeah, I think you made the bright call on The Selection series. I NEED romance and it got on my nerves at times... I'm gonna say Midnight Sun too. I had hoped SM might have learned from the criticism on how she handled the Quileute in the original series, but from what I cam see it's worse and also she refuses to address or apologize for it, so... there are other books out there for me to read.
I don’t blame you. I will also not be reading the selection series.
The only opinion that I strongly disagree with is that pie crust is better than the filling. The filling will always be the best part of the pie.
It is OKAY to have multiple editions of books! Even if you don’t read that exact copy. So keep collecting those collectors editions! You can be a book collector so these editions are specially made for you!
I'm sure a lot of people will attack me on this but it's The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes by Suzanne Collines for me, idk I guess I'm still a little torn from the hunger games and *inhales the mockingjay but I don't want to reopen that wound and it's a prequel so it's just about the rebellion
You should do a movie adaptation video. Best/Worst adaptations.
I- I just noticed he has manga on his bookshelf.
Manga readers rise up
