@@jack_edwards you’re missing out. There is no better feeling than reading the same paragraph three times to understand what ONE variable in the equation at the bottom of the page actually means 😂😂😂
jane Eyre is INCREDIBLLEEE, but it's probably one of the slowest books I've E V E R read... Like you're kinda lucky. The language and the everything else though is immaculate.
i'm so sad my microphone stopped working when we recorded our answers to your question but people will just have to go over to stereo to hear the THREE WAY COLLAB hahaha
@@jack_edwards omg it’s completely okay!! i’m just so glad that i got to hear your amazing answers to it! AND TRUE, it’s STEREO EXCLUSIVE CONTENT 😏 also can we just acknowledge this being the start to an incredible friendship?? like wow the power
not me adding the song of achilles on to my TBR list just so I can take myself back to ready the percy jackson series as a child as it was CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
11:00 omggg you guys don't know how much i needed this today, i'm doing a literature degree (french one tho) and it's been three years of struggling with this feeling of not knowing enough, not having read enough, not being enough, etc. and today it really makes me wonder if i'll be able to go further on with this field of study even though it really passionates me,, sooo what i'm saying is thank you, a lot, for talking about this
I love thisss! Though I feel like I already ‘perform’ the books in my mind as I’m reading them so I don’t really enjoy audiobooks, like at all...*hides in shame*
i LOVED this part of the conversation because i'd never thought of audiobooks as a performance before! i agree, i think i sort of perform them in my head, but i'm increasingly enjoying audiobooks the more i read because it feels a bit more relaxing and like my inner performer can have a lil' day off hahaha
this is a hill I will die on: most people who love murakami have just not read enough japanese lit. so much of what he's praised for (magical realism, his style of prose, etc) are present in A LOT of japanese fiction, but he gets a lot of the english speakers' support bc of good marketing, name recognition, and lack of exposure to wider jpn fiction
10:00 Rebecca by Daphne De Maurier is a great classic to start with. Very easy to comprehend writing, interesting plot, iconic characters. This book is one of my faves, just trust me!♥️
This is my first introduction to this channel, since I am a huge Noelle fan! Jack I love how much you smile when you talk - your happiness is contagious! I find myself smiling at my computer screen watching this video.
this was the best collab i've ever seen on youtube, in any topic. there was such a great friend chemistry and I laughed and smiled the whole time and was very inspired!
The booktube collab I didn’t know I needed. Also, I’m not sure if Fahrenheit 451 is considered a classic, but it definitely should be. Top notch science- fiction/ dystopian
i’m reading song of achilles right now and it’s so beautiful that i don’t want to finish it because i don’t want it to be over and i know it’s going to wreck me 😭
Great video! Enjoyed it very much! Jack, loved your answer about Truman Capote, one of my favorite writers. Totally agree about In Cold Blood, such a fascinating book!
I'm starting a lit and lang course at uni next year and I'm terrified everyone will have read more than me. Glad to know i'm not the only one! I adore both of you :)
Very enjoyable chinwag, but guys, Dickens didn't create some of the most iconic characters in literature to be rudely snubbed like that, omg. For those interested in classics, definitely give Dickens a try! A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, and Pickwick Papers are all great places to start. He's sarcastic and fun, and his long books were intended to be in multiple volumes like a series, so don't be intimidated. :)
So enjoyed listening to the two of you chat. I took my family on holiday to Amsterdam on the basis of my daughter's love of The Fault In Our Stars - and had a fantastic time. We went to visit Anne Frank's house and had a hot chocolate in the hotel the characters stayed in (the film). We also visited the bench which was amazing (it was put back) which was covered in amazing quotes left by visitors. Definitely recommended!
I recently started reading again and I was thinking about getting into Greek mythology and I stumble across this video and got amazing recommendations!!
Such a fun collab, with so many good book recommendations from both of you! ☺️ I'd love to hear Jack's South Asian/ Indian lit recommendations, not often I hear anyone mention those! My boyfriend, who's from India, has a few favs too 😊
Oh my god, this is so much fun! Yes, Song of Achilles! I’m only halfway through this collaboration, and already, I’m a greedy little thing, I want more! 💥🎼❤️💕🥰
James Franco’s audible rendition of ‘Slaughterhouse Five’ is my favourite audiobook ever. Franco convinced me that I loved Vonnegut, so I tried to read another Vonnegut and realised that it was just Franco adding to much to the quality of V’s writing and delivering such a beautiful performance. Love it
This collab is EVERYTHING Also as a music grad I totally relate to the discussion on the cannon because music has a similar stigma, some of the best, most brilliant pieces of music aren't in that cannon of what is considered important music
I have been following Jack since my first year of Uni (and I am on my third and last year) and I recently discovered Noelle, who immediately became one my fave book tubers alongside Jack. The fact that you two know each others and you are doing a collaborative makes me scream!! So happy, love you both 🥺💖 (sorry for my bad English)
I'm just gonna share the first few classics I've read for people who don't know where to start: Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll Through the Looking-glass - Lewis Carroll The picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde Frankenstein - Mary Shelley Some more tips: - find a copy that is annotated and has an introduction - find a book that you want to read because it's interesting, not because someone says you need to read it - start with modern classics or children's classics because the language is easier to understand (especially if english isn't your first language) - adaptations and even memes can help you to understand the plot - take your time and don't be too harsh on yourself if you get confused or don't understand everything. I still haven't read any Shakespeare because the language is a bid too hard to understand, but I'm gonna get there eventually and so do you (if you want to)
I just watched this video and Noelle mentioned Don Quixote as a required reading. Where I am from there is a contest where kids as early as elementary read Don Quixote an we recite certain parts if the book either individual or in teams, or you can do a short essay (there are different parts of the contest). For a long time I thought everyone read the book since elementary then come to find out in the USA not a lot of people had even heard about it!! Same thing happened with Le Petit Prince. That book is ENGRAINED! in our minds since elementary and I think is so sad here in the states most people don’t know about it.
My mum is like you two, where she will bend the spine and fold pages, and leave the book open with the pages down. It makes me want to cry 😂 I never even crack the spine ahha

Btw the time stamp is 13:37 💚💚💚
It’s my two favorite people on the internet talking about books, how could I possibly pass on this
you're too kind!!!
Ikr sameee 😭❤
Same about everything you said
Noelle and Jack together in one video?? Powerful and iconic
English lit students: lemme go read my Jayne Eyre 🧐
Me, a self proclaimed intellectual: lemme go read some Diary of a Wimpy Kid 😎
But you are enjoying yourself, that's the point of reading I guess
*cries in Wattpad Fanfiction*
@@LandelRey Hahahaa at least read at Ao3 I only resort to wattpad if I exhaust Ao3, Fanfiction.net and quotev. xD
Me reading manga✨
jane Eyre is INCREDIBLLEEE, but it's probably one of the slowest books I've E V E R read... Like you're kinda lucky. The language and the everything else though is immaculate.
a 30 minutes video of y'all nerding over books is exactly what i need right now
WHOLESOME. CONTENT.
@@jack_edwards OSMSHSHSH YES DO MORE
Petition for Jack to host his own bookclub. His recommendations have been PERFECT recently and the book content is amazing
yes yes yes
Ok, where do I sign?
This was so much fun to listen to and interact with!! I can't wait to tune into the rest of them 🤠🤠🤠🤠

WHATTTT i wasn't expecting this crossover but i love it
This is the crossover I didn't know I needed - UK studytube meets US booktube, YES PLEASE!!
I would have Stephen King write a book about my life and call it "Misery Again: But This Time I Did it to Myself"
Love you both!
Hahahah that is awesome
You don’t understand I’m *obsessed* with this colab
Sameeeeee omg!!!
not me adding the song of achilles on to my TBR list just so I can take myself back to ready the percy jackson series as a child as it was CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
I'm halfway through The Song of Achilles and my heart has broken already. The writing is phenomenal.
ur SO RIGHT abt percy jackson being criminally underrated, i just finished the first book yesterday and it was so fun
STRONG AGREEMENT this series was my first love and first serial reads of starting a book and not stopping until i had completely finished the story
@@danielacosta2835 OMG LITERALLY pjo is my love😩😩😩
THIS ICONIC CROSSOVER!!!! ✨🔥
the panic in Noelle's eyes when Jack mentioned cracked spines and dog eared pages
* screams * I have seen you two interact in the comments for a while now so this makes me so happy! Two of the best people in a video together ahhh :)
"I went in strong and I might have peaked too soon." Me too after reading the song of Achilles as my first read this year😭
WHEN I TELL YOU I ALMOST SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS I-
11:00 omggg you guys don't know how much i needed this today, i'm doing a literature degree (french one tho) and it's been three years of struggling with this feeling of not knowing enough, not having read enough, not being enough, etc. and today it really makes me wonder if i'll be able to go further on with this field of study even though it really passionates me,, sooo what i'm saying is thank you, a lot, for talking about this
Song Of Achilles is so beautiful. One of my favourite books ever, and I’m a Pisces too so I was a sobbing mess.
How the hell he can read a lot of books and at the same time do a lot of videos. I need he’s motivation and productivity. Lol
MY JAW FELLLL TOO THE FLOOR LOVE YOU GUYS
hahahahaa literally me when noelle said yes to the collab!!!
@@jack_edwards LMAO!!
I love thisss! Though I feel like I already ‘perform’ the books in my mind as I’m reading them so I don’t really enjoy audiobooks, like at all...*hides in shame*

This chat just felt so natural, such a good idea! Looking forward to the next one
me looking at noelle's jawline everytime she turns to her bookshelf: 👁️👄👁️
Yes
Yes. Yes. Yes again.
omg yes
Loooooooved this pairing. A dream team. You’re both comfort channels for me. Thank you both. Ps. Love a chinwag, both the action and the word.
‘Oh my God! Okay, it happening. Everybody stay CALM!’
what's the procedure everyone what's the procedure
this is a hill I will die on: most people who love murakami have just not read enough japanese lit. so much of what he's praised for (magical realism, his style of prose, etc) are present in A LOT of japanese fiction, but he gets a lot of the english speakers' support bc of good marketing, name recognition, and lack of exposure to wider jpn fiction
🤠 can’t believe i can hear my voice omg 😭 because of you, i have discovered noelle and i’m already in love with her
10:00 Rebecca by Daphne De Maurier is a great classic to start with. Very easy to comprehend writing, interesting plot, iconic characters. This book is one of my faves, just trust me!♥️
The most iconic collab i could ever dream of
this new book series thing is everything i could have ever wanted and more
This is my first introduction to this channel, since I am a huge Noelle fan! Jack I love how much you smile when you talk - your happiness is contagious! I find myself smiling at my computer screen watching this video.
this is EVERYTHING OH MY GOD! Jack - new video idea: read Noelle's favorite books
PLEASE
So we all just collectively agreed this was a collab we knew we needed but never expected and just dropped everything we did to watch this
this was the best collab i've ever seen on youtube, in any topic. there was such a great friend chemistry and I laughed and smiled the whole time and was very inspired!
BITCHHH I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IT'S MY TWO FAV PEOPLEEEEEE
My thoughts exactly 😭
15:47 ohmygoodness I literally just went out and bought Song of Achilles yesterday, feeling extremely confident with my purchase now ahaha
14:23
the idea that I won't be able to read everything out there makes me more sad than excited. that quote made me feel so calm. so beautiful.
Not my two faves in one video omg this was exactly what I needed to procrastinate my studies
i need a bookish podcast with you two now
Literally would make me so happy 😁
"He's no Hemingway" sounds like something I--a person who has never read hemingway--would say so....
I just finished “a little life” and I HIGHLY CAUTION YOU
WOW How was it?
I have it in my tbr but I’m kinda terrified to pick it up
the collab we didn't know we needed
The booktube collab I didn’t know I needed. Also, I’m not sure if Fahrenheit 451 is considered a classic, but it definitely should be. Top notch science- fiction/ dystopian
for some reason Jack acquired sass in this video... and i'm begging it never leaves. just me?
i’m reading song of achilles right now and it’s so beautiful that i don’t want to finish it because i don’t want it to be over and i know it’s going to wreck me 😭
An iconic collab with two iconic people... guess my uni work will just have to wait because THIS IS AMAZING
Great video! Enjoyed it very much! Jack, loved your answer about Truman Capote, one of my favorite writers. Totally agree about In Cold Blood, such a fascinating book!
I'm starting a lit and lang course at uni next year and I'm terrified everyone will have read more than me. Glad to know i'm not the only one! I adore both of you :)
@Farabee Pushpita hopefully Cardiff uni! what about you?? :)
@Farabee Pushpita omg that’s amazing, congrats!😌
the song of achilles is one of my favourite books! I never felt stupid or anything while reading it + I fell in love with it from the first page hehe
the crossover we never knew we needed
Jack needs to do a video reading like Noelle for a week. So like 7 of Noelle’s favourite books in a week x
Oh that would be fun!
🤠 if you know you know
The stereo collab was so cool and everything I have ever wanted in a collab. Such a fun time. 🤠🤠🤠🤠
hehehe thank you for tuning in!!
THIS IS MY MOST FAVOURITEST COLLAB
Very enjoyable chinwag, but guys, Dickens didn't create some of the most iconic characters in literature to be rudely snubbed like that, omg.

Loved this collab! Liked Noelle's point of not knowing everything but still being able to bring something to class
This is the collab I didnt know I needed- loved this! You guys are two of my favourite booktubers!
i've never clicked on something that fast
Omg, if this was a podcast or book club, I would listen the fudge out of it. I know both of you are busy but I LOVED the content, much love 💖
Such a great conversation. Mentioning all the important stuff about what it's like being a lit student
i was smiling through the whole video !!! love you guys :D
I recently started reading again and I was thinking about getting into Greek mythology and I stumble across this video and got amazing recommendations!!
the collab nobody expected but everyone needed
Noooooo. I love each of you as individuals so much, and having you both here together is honestly hurting my heart.
Thank you both!
Such a fun collab, with so many good book recommendations from both of you! ☺️ I'd love to hear Jack's South Asian/ Indian lit recommendations, not often I hear anyone mention those! My boyfriend, who's from India, has a few favs too 😊
What a dream collab, both you and Noelle have been putting out such great content over the past few months when we have needed it most!
History has been made with this collaboration!
Jack's quick wit is truly a sight to behold at times xD
this is clearly a ✨crossover✨
Oh my god, this is so much fun! Yes, Song of Achilles! I’m only halfway through this collaboration, and already, I’m a greedy little thing, I want more! 💥🎼❤️💕🥰

I’m SCREAMING while watching this I LOVE THIS. You two, THE BEST COMBO EVER
I'm demanding this collab to be a biannual thing because it was *everything*!
started to binge booktube a few weeks ago. 2 of my favorites to be honest 💅💅
Thic books have my heart - they’re so much easier for me to go through, small and short stories forces me to take my time and I hate that shit.
Enjoyed this so much! Please make it a series with other booktubers/youtubers
the collab we all DESERVED
This collab is EVERYTHING
Also as a music grad I totally relate to the discussion on the cannon because music has a similar stigma, some of the best, most brilliant pieces of music aren't in that cannon of what is considered important music
I'd love it if you did a video explaining your spotify playlists/ talking about your favourite songs /artists/ albums 💕
The collab I KNEW I needed
Imagine your books always being dumped in water cause you're stupid and don't close your water bottle well. Yes, that is me
You are not alone!
Same. I wanted to drink water during an exam and i completely missed my mouth and the water fell on my paper :)
Just the most iconic collaboration of our generation! No exaggeration! Thanks to both of you for being an absolute joy 🤠
Okay but a podcast or bookclub with you two would be amazing
Jack after every question: aaahh That is such a good question!
Watching you guys nerd out about books was just so wholesome

I'm just gonna share the first few classics I've read for people who don't know where to start:
Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking-glass - Lewis Carroll
The picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
Some more tips:
- find a copy that is annotated and has an introduction
- find a book that you want to read because it's interesting, not because someone says you need to read it
- start with modern classics or children's classics because the language is easier to understand (especially if english isn't your first language)
- adaptations and even memes can help you to understand the plot
- take your time and don't be too harsh on yourself if you get confused or don't understand everything. I still haven't read any Shakespeare because the language is a bid too hard to understand, but I'm gonna get there eventually and so do you (if you want to)

Walking into glass doors is such a good title
My mum is like you two, where she will bend the spine and fold pages, and leave the book open with the pages down. It makes me want to cry 😂 I never even crack the spine ahha
I love this dynamic duo
This conversation contains all that is right with the world for me. Love watching you both separately but together is also magic.
AHHH NOELLE I LOVE HER, she is amazing.
