thanks very much for watching, don't forget to subscribe, and give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed!!
obsessed with the fact that jack didn't read east of eden for his degree but did for emma chamberlain
Do they read American literature as part of an Eng Lit degree in the Uk? Maybe they would have read mostly English stuff, but not sure
@@LaFou06 depends what modules you choose. I did English and I chose mostly English texts pre-1800 but you can do American lit modules, and theres more than one or two offerings
@@LaFou06 I think Jack’s studied just an English Literature degree but there are American Literature degree pathways or modules in general available to choose from too
@@SelenaaGomezAddict i believe he actually got his degree in south asian literature specifically but i'm not 100%
@insense ??? This seems like a very negative comment. English literature refers to literature WRITTEN in the language of English, which American books are. Hence why of mice and men and other novels are often read within them. Even if you’re talking about CLASSICAL English literature
Italian, Greek and American books are all accepted in the canon
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
Good idea!!!
Love this!
Yes omg!
omg! perfect
Please make a video for all the books mentioned in (( The perks of being a wallflower ))
Everyone please like and reply to my comment so he can see it ❤️
Emma has also recommended some books on her podcast “anything goes”, so maybe… PART 2??
I would love that yes 👏
omg which ones?
@@hellodarkness2993 I remember one was “Poison for Breakfast” by Lemony Snicket
@@hellodarkness2993 a few i can remember just off the top of my head are “poison for breakfast” and “crime and punishment” :)
@@hellodarkness2993 some include poison for breakfast, crime and punishment, pride and prejudice (I think)
"I think a book tells two stories. One is the story that is printed in black and white on the pages and the other is the story of you reading it and that's why I underline things, I fold down pages, I make my book messy because I like the idea that someone could pull a random book from my bookcase and it would show them the parts that I love and I hope that would give them an insight on the book but also to me and my mind. " This whole thing was too good to not quote💖
honestlyyyyyy
Spot on!

-Jack Edwards, 2022
SO MUCH YES.
frrr
One cool thing about East of Eden is the allusion of good and evil with names! All “A” names were examples of good and “C” names were examples of evil. (Representing Cain and Abel in Genesis of the Bible. Cain slayed his brother Abel and was cursed and outcast from the Garden of Eden. Hence “east” of Eden.) It’s definitely my favorite Steinbeck novel and I just recently reread it. 🥰
i noticed the C thing but not the A thing? maybe i'm just forgetting some but i genuinely only remember Adam and Aron having A names.
@@cora8298 there was Abra too, and I think an Alice?
This is so cool
Charles isn’t evil though
@@clairvigil2246 he is in the sense that he has to make an effort to be good, in the same way Cal does, but also maybe his name having Ch instead of the C shows that nuance

J'aime tes vidéos
Je ne comprends pas grand chose mais j'aime ta bonne humeur et la manière dont tu analyses tes lectures
Merci d'améliorer mon anglais avec tes vidéos :)
C’est rare de croiser un commentaire en français ici ! C’est aussi grâce à des vidéos TH-cam que j’ai pu développer mon anglais :)
@@_sarahjanevictory pls i was so proud of myself for understanding what theyre saying
Ooooh trop contente de croiser quelqu'un qui parle français ici ! je me suis énormément améliorée en anglais grâce à booktube bon courage dans ton apprentissage :)))
@@jas7098 Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup :)

the way she altered the stuff circulating here on youtube is just PROFOUND
@Bharati so then correct them instead of making fun of them? Lol
@Bharati not the internet generation 😭 OK grandma
@Bharati except you...sorta can use "profound" in this context??
@Bharati profound isn’t internet language though¿
If you're talking about book videos, book videos have been thriving long before emma chamberlain started reading
"she's a role model, iykyk" OMFG AHAHAHAH THAT WAS SO SLICKKK
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THAT PLS 😭
💀💀💀
what’s that
@@slayer-dj3dc her boyfriend's stage name is rolemodel
I remember reading “East of Eden” when I was fourteen, (so, like, five years ago), just because I was obsessed (at the time) with James Dean (he was Cal in the movie adaptation of the book). I started reading it without expectations and completely unaware of how amazingly written the story was, but when I finished it I was completely in love with the beautiful way it was built. This is a must, in my opinion, for every book lover! (I’m really sorry for all the mistakes that I’m sure I made in this comment, but English is not my mother language)
be confident in your english, you are good!
ME TOO!! That's how I discovered East of Eden and it was so worth it
Emma chamberlain and jack edwards are the reading duo we always knew we needed ♥️
Never been more excited when I saw that Emma is into reading and now I’ve been very excited for this video🙏
But why? What is so exciting and special about some influencer finally reading when most normal people have been doing it since elementary school?
@@daenerystargaryen because they might have a hobby or interest in common now
I was unhinged too. As a child reading was my everything. Then at 10 I got a phone and kind of stopped. And then at 13, after not reading for 3 years and only having read childrens books, I picked up les misèrables, finished it, and fell in love with reading again. idk there was just some force keeping me going and I somehow got through the brick
Wow, what an intimidating return 💀
For me, I started reading again after my yr 12 final exams but I read books such as little prince, harry potter and contemporary reads before diving into some classics I've been meaning to read.
Applause to you 👏👏
Jack calling me “u lucky sausage” is what will make me win the lottery
Jack your so close to 1 mill!!! You are literally so iconic and Im glad to see us readers are finally getting some recognition❤
jack talking about Emma's book recommendations is everything I've wanted for the last 2 months
Jack i love you, you are AMAZING
You're making fall in love with reading again, thank you for that❣️ I didn't read fiction for ages, sticking with business or mental health related books. But the more I watch your videos, the more I become interested in reading fiction... I downloaded the razor's edge and going to read it now🙈
All the editions you buy are just gorgeous, the "East of Eden" cover in particular! I usually read books on my phone so slightly miss the feeling of reading a book that's pretty outside and in 😊
any idea where can i get a copy of East of Eden with that cover? it's so gorgeous!
@@JuzAlvin98x3 I don't know but I'd love to!! I know Jack shops at Waterstones so maybe try there? 😊
Omg no!! Try to buy an ebook, reading in your phone is going to bring you so much harm into your eyes. Just consider it please
@@florgarciao yes it's something I have to save up for!!
@@JuzAlvin98x3 The editions in the video are from Penguin/Random House
i'm not doing well lately yet you never cease to make my day a bit better 🥺 your videos bring me comfort, thank you jack 💕
I hope it gets easier. Remember you're not alone. I would recommend these 2 books, I think they feel like warm hugs.
1. The boy, the mole the horse and the fox
2. The comfort book
Sending you all my best wishes and good ~vibes~
Hope everything works itself out at the end
Hope you feel better soooon
I just wanna say thank you! Because you are the one who got me into reading and i end up having about 30 books and an empty wallet so, thanks jack. ✨ (All jokes aside, Love your celebrity books club reviews!)
loved this video! also loved that you included the quotes, I have tried to read east of eden before and this inspired me to pick it up again!
The Razor's Edge is a wonderful book and it's so underrated!! Thanks Jack and Emma for putting this book back into the spotlight.
My heart skipped multiple beats when you talked about East of Eden. Best book I've read in the longest time. 💚
i have yet to read it. i need more steinbeck in my life
Jack I bloody love your videos but I do be missing the vlogs it was just so calming and fun to watch so if you could bring them back it would be so great keep it up btw👍👍
the way I have that exact quote underlined in my copy of east of eden! I also think it was one of the first books that really got me into understanding and enjoying classics. I'd read a few before picking up east of eden but that book was just the one that made everything click for me and now I bloody love classics
What a beautiful idea to mark each book with your own favourite lines and pages for future visitors to whip out and see what the book meant to you. You’ve inspired me to do the same! I always feel guilty about dog-earing books but now you’ve empowered me
this vid better get you to 1 mil!! congrats in advance and thank you for being a huge inspiration, your content is IMMACULATE
the east of eden quote you shared was the tipping point that made me for sure add it to my TBR list. its very prevalent to this current stage of my life
i read east of eden in the middle of my spring semester exam season; i was completely burnt out, not having much remaining brain power for the evenings yet i still managed to finish the book in like a week, it was beautiful and sooo engaging and easy to read for a classic yet masterfully written; it's exactly the perfect example of a book being for entertainment and learning/some very divine cause
I’ve loved East of Eden since 9th grade (if you ever listened to Meg and Dia in tumblrs peak era, they have referenced the novel that set me on a really spectacular reading journey which also led me to reading several iterations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein). I highly recommend a reading list from famous song writers who have credited their music to specific novels
i have been waiting for this, thank you jack!!!
I’m over halfway through East of Eden and its on my way to become my favorite book ever. The characters are the best I’ve ever read
Update: finished it, definitely my favorite book of all time
okay i just found ur channel but i’m already obsessed lol you’re so funny and genuine i’m rooting for u❤️ and congrats on a MILLION!!!
I read The Razor's Edge in March and it's not only my favourite book so far this year, but one of my favourites of all time. I'm so happy you loved it too!
just bought the razor’s edge- so excited to read it bc of you!!
would love vids about reading an author’s full body of work toni morrison, ursula le guin, etc. and a guide on where to start cause i sometimes get intimidated when a writer has more than like 5/6 books and don’t know which one to start with 🤣 but your rec is the only one i trust haha
Totally agree, her recommendations are unreal, and your reviews are the cherry on the cake!
Glad I’m not the only one in love with Emma Chamberlain 😭. Love unhinged Jack 😅💜
i just read east of eden and it was AMAZING. seriously. i put off reading it for MONTHS and i finally read it a few days ago and i regret not reading it earlier. im 18 and i will DEFINITELY reread it every once in a while. this book will stay with me for life. Lee and Samuel were my favourtie character
I von the same copy of East of Eden. I bought it second hand 7 years ago and never got around to reading it. This is probably a sign to finally start. From your description it sounds a bit like Pachinko, which I loved.
FINALLY someone talks about East of Eden, it has been my favorite book for ages and it's hardly ever mentioned in Booktube just because it's a classic. Best example of good literature I could think of.
the video i’ve been waiting for💓🙏🏼 so good
The thrifting interlude is such a throwback to your studytube timelapses!
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP
Love your videos despite the fact that my tbr keeps on growing the more i watch them 💓
I was wondering if you were going to make a video on the short list for the women’s prize? All of the books in the list are so great (especially the book of form and emptiness) and I was hoping you would make a video where you could read these novels and then possibly predict the winner? That’s all! Ilysm!
I recently read East of Eden and you said almost everything (and more than) I thought and felt about it but I need to add that the ending ist just phenomal and breathtaking and maybe the best one out of the hundreds of books I've read
I think 1984 may be an universal experience because it was the book that got me into classics and made me fall in love with reading again after a very bad period of my life
this is the first video of yours that I watched and your energy is just contagious. Subscribed, 1M is near!
Jack, I would just like to say that: it is 2pm on a Sunday and I am ré-watchinng your videos yet again dreaming of books I might not be ever to buy. 😭💛
I have wanted you to do this for forever
readinng is such a valueable habit I wish you keep it forever! yes, I would continue inspire people, just like you
Emma, Jack and Books? THE GOLDEN TRIO
you are quite literally one of my favorite you tubers ever thank you for this
I'm so glad you loved east of Eden! It's one of my absolute favorites and Cathy is one of the best characters I've ever read. She's so vivid and terrible and I've never seen a character written like her before.
I'm currently reading poison for breakfast by Lemony snicket which she also recommended in her podcast, would love to know your opinion on this book
That book was fascinating to me! I love Lemony Snicket so much
Have you read the series of unfortunate events? Only Lemony snicket book series I've read but I know all of his books are connected because he's not a real person. It's a fantastic series though.
omg i loved that book. it was so unique and just a short glimpse into the character and mind of lemony
@@justinebarci1171 All the Wrong Questions is the prologue of that series.
It follows young Snicket, when he was still an apprentice. There's only 4 books to All the Wrong Questions but it's sooo good. There are allusions and references to other classic works of literature sprinkled within the books. In fact, the final book is inspired by a famous mystery novel ( I won't spoil it)
Go read them (if you want :D)
Edit: typo
@@squidwardsthirdtentacle1198 I will! Sounds interesting.
Always a good day when Jack Edwards posts a celeb book club video
If you want to do another celebrity book club, Avan Jogia tweeted some books he's read and enjoyed! I think it was the end of march. Would love to hear your thoughts on them!
Im so happy that you introduced me to sally Rooney, I’ve started to listen to conversations with friends and I’m sold! I’ll read all of her books now
You can use the pilot frixion highlighters or markers, the ink isn't absorbed by the paper and looks cute
i love that you fell in love with literature through 1984, it was the same for me! i just read and was like ‘wow. this is on another level.’
yes she is indeed a rolemodel
JACKKK I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY
you should definitely read ruskin bond books i'm sure you'll love them!!! also how about "reading my subscribers' book recommendations" 🤔
Not to be dramatic but Emma and the whole lot of my TH-camrs (jack included) have saved mine and I’m sure many other lives!! Such comfort, peace and safe place these corners of internet are! ❤️❤️✨
Glad to hear that you’re here :)
Happy to hear that. For me, the safe place would be good mythical morning by Rhett and Link
@@videhbhaav I’ve heard about them obviously. But I guess that’s the beauty of the internet, there space for everyone! 😄
I think you're exaggerating, so basically all the billions of people who lived before TH-camrs existed would have suicided and felt miserable and depressed ? Lmao pleaseeee, this new generation is way too obsessed with social media, y'all don't even know how to enjoy your life and real experiences anymore, I pity you guys
@@ciri_riannon235 oh my god wow. Imagine not letting someone tell their own stories. People before us existed and coped in their own ways and so do we. Yk what else comes with social media, tonne of unnecessary hatred and peer pressure. Let people live their own lives.
literally LOVE your videos! Would you be able to make a video about how to get back into loving reading!! just want some tips!! :)
It’s a good day when Jack posts
Indeeeed
i just watched emma’s reading video today and you post this i-
One of my favourite person making a reading video on another one of my favourite people, I love you
i can’t stop looking at your reflex on the lamp
oh my god it’s here!! IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH
The title screen? With the coffee pour? Creative. Artistic. Made me smile.
the youtube crossover we all needed
it's like my two worlds colliding
Congrats on 1mil! ✨🎉
"A book tells 2 stories, 1 is the one that is printed in black and white on the pages, and the other is you reading it. " i loved when you said this !!!!
I only read "Of Mice and Men" and loved it. "Grapes of Wrath" and "East of Eden" are still waiting on my bookshelf. Scared by number of pages, I should be.
my 2 fav TH-camrs in one vid yay this is exciting
OMFGGG IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU UPLOADED!
‘Jorjor Well’ sounds like either a great Drag Name or a Rapper Name.
Good video! Just to let you know Salinas is a Spanish word and is pronounced Sa-LEE-nas. Jane Seymour played Cathy in a miniseries of the book. She had the face of an angel but was evil personified.
the razor's edge is on my tbr, can't wait to read it!!
omg I didn't know I needed this until I found it, the mix of my 2 fav youtubers. We all nedd emma back
The description of A Razor's Edge reminds me of Hemmingway's A Movable Feast. Highly recommend that one.
the best youtube maker I ever know! I will keep you updated
You’re our comfort videos, Jack❤️
I knew from the good reads updates omfg excited
I'm sure everyone is asking for this already but pretty please do a video on every book Frances has/reads in the Conversations with Friends series! xx
YOURE SO CLOSE TO ONE MIL 💝💝💝
i've been waiting for this one
BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS ONE YAY
nothing like getting off work to new jack edwards video 😌🥰 especially when emma chamberlain is involved
FINALLY
THANK YOU JACK YOU HAVE SAVED US
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MAY GOD SHOWER YOU WITH LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS OR SOMETHING THAT GRANDIOSE!!!!
You're my reading inspiration broh!!
WHAT WAS THE READİNG LİST DURİNG YOUR LİT DEGREE? Cause I need it (also a video of you explaining which ones you read and which ones you didn't)
That quote from East of Eden HIT, I might have to check it out!
So distracted by your reflection in the lamp but loved the vid ❤️
didn't expect this duo, this is so exciting
My favourite book is East of Eden and I also LOVE the razor's edge!!!!
I'm so glad you loved East of Eden! One of my absolute favourites and you are so right that Cathy is THE literary villain
