I recently went to a bookstore and asked the cool guy working to add four books to my pile. He put some of his top pics and I’ve started working through them, and they’ve been super insightful and fun! I recommend asking the booksellers for their top books, that would be a fun video!
Hi Jack :) Have you heard about 'The Dictionary of Lost Words'? It is written by Pip Williams. This book is about a girl whose dad worked at the first publication of the Oxford English Dictionary. The girl starts collecting words by herself which are not wanted in the original dictionary because they are related to women, poor people or for other reasons. It is her story but also related to these kind of words. One of my favorite books I've read in the last months :) Sorry for any grammar mistakes 🙈 Lots of love from Germany💫
I would be interested in wheter or not the perception of a book changes when you get to know the author. I would imagine reading books of people that you meet and liked are likely to be observed as being better writen. What do you think?
I think it’s the same as knowing that someone is related to your close friend before you interview them? Probably some subconscious bias, but if the book sucks it sucks. You’d wish it didn’t, I guess.
"What is the relationship of the famous author to their famous books anyway? If I had bad manners and was personally unpleasant and spoke with an irritating accent, which in my opinion is probably the case, would it have anything to do with my novels? Of course not. The work would be the same, no different. And what do the books gain by being attached to me, my face, my mannerisms, in all their demoralising specificity? Nothing." -Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
A lot of times I read the book before I meet the author, so I have something to talk about with them. Its so much better to talk to them when you've actually read their books. And sometimes I will love a book even more afterwards, if the author is a sweet and lovely person (most of them I've met are). That's always so nice!
I was following yours and Elizabeth Day’s stories when you were at the Hay Festival and I was thinking oh my gosh… what if my favs meet and you did! So cool!
Note from a translator: I don't want to be on the cover. In fact, I wish to translate in a way that feels so fluid and authentic that you don't think of me and my meddling with the original work at all. (Having said that - I'm grateful for your appreciation :))
My fave thing about finding booktube is finding other people who get just as excited about books as me. I’ve never known othe people with this mindset so it makes me so happy!!
Hi! I’m from Ukraine and it’s such a pleasure to hear about Ukrainian literature from you❤️ I hope you like this book and will be reading more of the Ukrainian literature sooner. Your videos are such a supportive thing for me and some of my friends. Thank you❤️🇺🇦
My kids and I are making our way through the How to Train Your Dragon audiobook series. It's amazing! David Tennent is the perfect narrator and we love the stories! Cressida Cowell is the best!
Wanted to go to Hay Festival but there’s no direct train from London to the location and I didn’t wanna spend so much time commuting 😭 but loved to see the experience through your Instagram stories
i am actually going to Hay-on-Wye this summer. unfortunately, not when the hay festival is there but only by the pictures it looks absolutely adorable. I cannot wait!
I finished "To Kill A Mocking Bird" yesterday and continued "A Bright Ray of Darkness" today, two different topics but I am learning to read more often and in Original Languages ^^ . Thank you for sharing those books !
Hi Jack: GREAT GREAT GREAT video!!!!!! Love the shoutouts to several of the families absolute favourites - Cressida Cowell (we own them all and one signed after H met her at Waterstone’s), Jacquline Wilson (own most) and Lenny Henry (absolute master of so many fields). These new titles sound fantastic and looks like Christmas will be filled with pages of delicious words! Thank you to Hay Festival for being THE festival for us book lovers and thank you Jack for continuing to expand horizons by introducing us all to not just domestic but world works of written art!! Loads and loads of love, 🌹, H and A
I just got back from Hay on Wye too! I was attending George Monbiot's talk about his new book "Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet". It's such an amazing place and wonderful to be surrounded by so many people passionate about books and knowledge. I also came away with a considerable book haul.
It’s so cute to see Jack wrapping his head around Love Marriage. Also, the opposite of Arranged Marriage is not Love Marriage (they’re 2 sides of the same coin), it’s either a Court Marriage or an Ambedkarite Wedding in the Indian context.
I would disagree, arranged marriage and love marriage are opposites. A court "marriage" is the opposite of a traditional wedding. You can have an arranged court marriage too.
I mean heads and tails are quite literally opposites too, lol. I agree arranged marriages and love marriages are two sides of the same coin - the coin being *marriage*. Court marriage vs religious marriage are two sides of an entirely different coin - the coin being what constitutes a wedding ceremony. I assume you mean the opposite of arranged marriages would be marrying without one's family's approval. But marrying without your family's approval doesn't necessarily end in a court marriage - there's one very famous Bengali marriage from the early 1900s where the bride gave herself away (in a Brahmo wedding ceremony), because her family of birth didn't consent to the marriage. And funnily enough, arranged marriages aren't always formalized with family approval - I've seen one case where the families arranged the match, then fell out over something and withdrew their consent, but the bride and groom decided to marry each other anyway.
Can't wait for your review of the Penguin book! And I have a video idea: Different translations of titles. Because I thinks it's really interest how different book titles are translated. Take for example the Penguin book: The Russian original title translates to "Death of an outsider", but there seems to be a "Death and the Penguin" Russian version as well.The German version translates to "Picknick on the ice". And if you look at other international versions, both titles seem to exist at equal amounts.
I've been to the hay festival! It was five hour drive there and back from my school, BUT I got to see Michael Rosen. He was the funniest person I've ever met, and there were like thousands of people. I was so lucky to be able to go, my school sent about fifteen of us. 😭
It's funny you'd like to have translators' names on the cover. Nowadays where I'm from, they publish the books with the original cover and the translated title is basically hidden with the tinyest font ever. Also good luck to fund the translator xD
Hello! I’m a big fan of your TH-cam videos and I just had a quick suggestion! So I saw that you had been sent all the books on the women’s prize long list and also the short list was just recently released. So I was wondering if could make a video where you read the books on the short list, share your thoughts, and then predict the winner? I absolutely love “The Book of Form And Emptiness” a book that is on the short list, and I would love for you to share your thoughts on it! Besides just that book however I feel like it’s important to uplift female authors because they are so often buried and considering the current climate in the US with women’s rights, I was thinking that a video highlighting women’s perspective could be a source of light for many young women such as myself. This could also bring some hope to some of the girls in my high school who hope to become writers one day (including possibly myself) as that hope seems to grow dimmer with the current US politics. Sorry for the very long comment and it’s probably weird that a 15 year old girl reached out to you randomly however I love your channel and hope that you can read these incredible books that have been shortlisted for the women’s prize. Thank you for reading these long dm’s and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you again!
One of fav books is by a Ukrainian author, it's called Good Citizens Need Not Fear. It's a collection of short stories about life before and after the collapse of the USSR. Incredibly funny in a dark way.
I read A Little Life because of you. I demand you to take responsibility by one day signing my book copy alongside (hopefully hopefully) Hanya Yanagihara as a criminal charge against you two exquisitely wicked people.
It is a traumatizing book, not just a bit sad. It is the most horrifying book ever, not in a cool way. I have no idea why booktubers keep talking about it, it's torture and pain exploitation
I think he meant that he did not know there was a specific name for a marriage based on love in other cultures and people refer to it like that, as to us westerners that is the norm, the standard, what we immediately understand by the word "marriage" alone and then distinguish a subtype known as arranged martiage.
@@morgianasartre6709 no no i understand it, here in india these words are very commonly used so i was just very very surprised that's all but thank you for explaining
jack! i made a video on my channel that was directly inspired by your series where you read celebs fave book, but I watched celebs fave movies - i’ve made 2! on harry styles and timothee chalamet- i thank you in them like 10 times for inspiring me but i would love if you could check them out ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jack’s version of ‘Hot Girl Spring/Summer’ was going to the Hay Book Festival and we’re here for it!
Few video ideas:
1)What Emma Watson reads
2)All the books mentioned on F.R.I.E.N.D.S
3)Reading books recommended by your subscribers
4)One book from every genre
5)Only reading translated book for a week
6)What Jisoo from Blackpink reads
7)Books about religion
8)Biographies and Autobiographies
9)Celebrity lifestyle part 2
10)How different your life is in Paris and in England.
11)What Elio from Call Me By Your name reads
12)1 Book from every country
13)Literature you enjoyed as a child
14)Books mentioned in Perks of Being a Wallflower.
15)What Charlie reads in Heartstopper
16)Try other academias like The Dark Academia video
17)Books under 200 pages
18)Tier rank authors
19)Read fanfics
along with number 17 he should do books over 400 or 500 pages
ooo #4 would be fun !!
With nr15 I would rather say, what Isaac reads in Heartstopper, but all of these are cool ideas👍
Having read Perks in high school that would be interesting.
I mean, for number 12 since you said one book from every country it would be 195 books cause there are 195 countries lol
I recently went to a bookstore and asked the cool guy working to add four books to my pile. He put some of his top pics and I’ve started working through them, and they’ve been super insightful and fun! I recommend asking the booksellers for their top books, that would be a fun video!
jack is the harry styles of the book world!

I used to love her books as a child 😭😭

That sounds like a really interesting concept! I'll have to find myself a copy!

Always getting me back in a reading mood, thank you endlessly 💛
