    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kendall Jenner publicly post her "to read" list on her insta after people got interested in the photos she had that had books in them? I can understand the discomfort if other people made a "Kendall read these books" list on their own and critiqued them, but when you post a list of books you recommend for to share publicly to interested people on instagram it comes off as such a weird thing to complain about. You put the list expecting people will read the books and assumingly knowing they will have differing opinions because everyone has different tastes. The video wasn't critiquing her taste in books, it was simply critiquing the books themselves, which is bound to happen. Would she be saying the same thing if Jack loved every single book?

      That's exactly what I thought!. And yeah, Jack didn't like the books themselves because he has different tastes! Books, like any piece of art, are so subjective, so I really don't get her complaining about it. If someone, in this case a stranger on the internet, would dislike or even hate one of my favorites, I wouldn't take it as an insult aimed at me because they don't know me at all. They're talking about the media, not me.

      To be the devil's advocate here, the video title for the Kendall Jenner book recommendations is "I read every book Kendall Jenner has recommended on Instagram and her taste is... questionable," which is a clear judgment on her personal taste. I'm not saying Jack was wrong not to like the books or make these kinds of videos (I, like many others, love them), but Kendall is not entirely wrong in her remark either.

      It's crazy to think about this with any other profession. Like, imagine following a chef home and demanding that he cook you another meal because that's his job and you've paid to go to their restaurant so that means that they should expect to cook at a moment's notice. A celebrity being an entertainer or model doesn't mean they can't read a book in a park without any privacy. Yes it's a side effect, and i don't necessarily pity her, but to act like we're entitled to stalk her when she leaves her house and she has no right to complain at all is just a weird mentality to have and to try and justify. Not that you specifically are doing the stalking or are advocating for it, but saying someone can't complain about not having privacy because of their occupation is weird to me.

    Night Sky With Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong is an absolutely mesmerising poetry experience you’ll never regret. His poetry reminds me of TS Eliot’s…if TS Eliot had a deep sense of traumatic legacy and a heartbreaking yearning to be understood. Ocean’s poetry is equally complex, memorable and lyrical, but it also carries with it the weight of inter-generational pain.
    ‘You move through me like rain heard in another country. Yes, you are a country. Someday, they will find it while searching for lost ships…’
    Like who writes like that? I once saw this twitter post that said Ocean Vuong is the TS Eliot for those who consider Kim Namjoon to be there their Mary Oliver. I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
    Can’t wait for his next poetry collection Love is a Mother. It’s coming in April!

If me making a meme makes thousands of people hate and say horrible things about me why would I listen when something supposedly actually bad happens? They both elicit the exact same response.

    And this is the main reason why i fell in love with Andrew Garfield. I've always found it endearing and in awe how he expresses himself so eloquently in his interviews. So when I found out last month that he also read books (his interview with Believer where he mentioned On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. That whole interview is really good btw!), I can see his taste in books reflects that. And then there goes my dilemma if I'll ever gonna find someone like him 🥲

    I get that Kendall feels like her privacy was ignored but she showed the cover of those books on camera, she could've put them in shelves with the spines not facing the camera. Or get a kindle because when you show something on camera it's nobody's fault but yours which is harsh to say and it is unfair but it's life

    Ocean Vuong is my favorite writer and it usually don't really watch interviews from writers but i listened to two different readings of his and when i realised that he was reading the same part in both i just couldn't turn it off. So i listened to the same part of the book read out loud twice in two days. This man's voice is just so damn addictive!
