I love how open-minded to translated books from other countries he is. It‘s always exciting to watch him talk about books that I read in my native language. I love Kyung Sook Sin very much too. She has the power to lead her story.
@@Namerealname really? That sounds so weird, especially being from country where half if not more of the market is translated 😁, thanks, I'll check out the video

I literally just made a list of 30 books Jack recommended from last year and I can’t wait to buy them all and see if I find a new favorite read 😊 can’t wait to hear the reviews of these!
Seeing Jack upload a video is like being a party which is so boring until you see your friend walk and being excited to see them like "ayyy jack is here"
I'm always looking for more Korean authors to read! I'm moving to South Korea in less than a month (omg) and am hoping to one day be able to reread the original non translated versions from all the authors I've read. Currently slogging my way through a middle grade fiction book one chapter at a time but I'm getting there.
@@chelsey8737 I've been learning for about 2ish yrs and it's def not easy but it's also not as hard as you maybe think? I started w picture books, then moved on to books that had English or Korean translations and read both simultaneously, now I can mostly muddle my way through and nothing is as rewarding as reading a full paragraph w/out consulting a dictionary. I'd really recommend using programs like LWT (learning with text, has built in vocab tests but awkward to install) or FLTR (foreign language text reader, easier to install but not as good) to anyone who wants to try it. Best of luck w yr language learning journey!
Omg same I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Korean. 재미있게 보세요! Also mat I ask you how/why you're moving to Korea? I'm only 15 now but I want to live in Korea sometime in the future (I'm half Korean so I feel like it'd be nice to explore my culture more than just 2 weeks per year)
I am so happy that you're travelling a lot and you're even going to South Korea this year!!! Have lots of fun Jack. I really enjoy the videos you make on this channel (even a bit more than your main channel haha maybe cause these are so casual)
Thank you Jack! I was just saying To myself i need to watch a Jack edward Video and was about to look for an old one an now there is a new one. What a treat!
Awesome!! Can't wait to get stuck into some of your recommendations Jack! I'm reading A Little Life at the moment and it is everything I thought it would be!
i cant wait for your content from korea im so excited for you!! some korean literature i recommend that i think you haven't read: untold night and day by bae suah, the age of doubt by pak kyongni, the hen who dreamed she could fly by sunmi hwang!
Omg I'm a recent subscriber who's Korean and it's so great to hear that you're coming to Korea!!!🎉🎉🎉 please film some vlogs while you're here:) I wish I'd be the one to take you through this trip lol
If you’re interested in Korean lit, you need to read the graphic novel Grass!! It’s recently translated and absolutely incredible artwork and story. I read it for a comparative literature in translation course and it blew my mind. :)))
Oh my. So The List. That for real happened to a very popular TH-cam family. They were the first TH-cam family I followed. And the dad ended up on a list- for Ashley Madison. It flipped my world upside down. Still can’t believe it.
OMG your coming to Korea??? I am also going back home at end of March, I wish I could meet you. Im sure your going to the capital, there are lots to explore..I guess? haha
There will be a long and interesting discussion about korean literature between Namjoon and Jack..If they meet in korea....O my god...Just imagine...this will make my day...☺..
Book recommendation: "How to Stand up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa. I just finished it. A fantastic and extremely important book. I would love to hear your thoughts onit. It's the kind of book and the kind of author that could save the world.
Respectfully we are all waiting for your "all the books I read in 2022" video 😆
I love how open-minded to translated books from other countries he is. It‘s always exciting to watch him talk about books that I read in my native language. I love Kyung Sook Sin very much too. She has the power to lead her story.
OMG ARE YOU COMING TO KOREA
Jack YOU NEED TO FLIM A VLOG you should share that experience I would be SO grateful🥹
Um... Why should he be not open minded to translated books? Why should anybody?
@@aliago6945 I believe that some English speakers are not used to reading translated books. Also, Jack made a video about it.

Mrs. S and The List sound so intriguing! I’ve added them to my TBR 🥰

Mrs. S has such a simple beautiful design!
You're an inspiration, Jack ✨ 💛

Yesss !
Oh my. So The List. That for real happened to a very popular TH-cam family. They were the first TH-cam family I followed. And the dad ended up on a list- for Ashley Madison. It flipped my world upside down. Still can’t believe it.
Just leaving a comment to tell that I'll be back once I finish work for the day. My evening just got better ❤
I have many books on my shelf thanks to your wonderful recommendations. Please stop! My wallet is going to be RIP soon. 😆🙏
I LOVE BOOKS BY MAAAILLL
I have an exam tomorrow and I was just about to start studying but I guess it has to wait now...🌝
I wish i could travel as much as you 😫
OMG your coming to Korea??? I am also going back home at end of March, I wish I could meet you. Im sure your going to the capital, there are lots to explore..I guess? haha
there .. there ... there if it isn't our silly book friend; jelly bean edwards
Kyung Sook Shin is also the author of Violets, which I think you’ve already read!
I have 3 books since I start of the year 🥳
I feel like I don’t even need to read these books because the blurbs are so descriptive.
You must visit Starfield Library when you're in Korea!
I am currently reading calm the fu*k down by Sarah Knight lol :)
There will be a long and interesting discussion about korean literature between Namjoon and Jack..If they meet in korea....O my god...Just imagine...this will make my day...☺..
‘You Are a Global Citizen’ is a fun read that, if you read it as intended, will reveal how your external influences shape how you truly see the world.
6:08 SAPPHIC SAGA 🔥
Do we have an update on whether Jack has a 'library' yet
Video idea: books recommended based on songs
❤
Jack what does it take for you to try and read indonesian books? I have some recommendations 👀
When are you uploading summarizing every book I read in 2022
ive never been so early
Are You Back in The U.K. Or Still In NYC?
Where is the 2023 reading wrap? 😏
Please review the book The remains of the day
7:15 Patricia Field is such a credit to her profession. Omg I love her and she’s a genius.
When did you leave New York !?
OH ! never mind, spoke too soon. You later mentioned you're going back soon :)
Eleanor Oliphant needs you to read her or she'll be completely not fine.
Book recommendation: "How to Stand up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa. I just finished it. A fantastic and extremely important book. I would love to hear your thoughts onit. It's the kind of book and the kind of author that could save the world.
Hi
Am I getting old because I really can't hear the Anti Hero in the background like he said !
You've been buying a lot of books i've noticed. Are you okay
you’ve got to be close to 1000 books by now 🫢
I blame him for my reading obsession 🧍♂️🤌
