@@thirstwithoutborders995 I have read most of the books I own, but they look brand new because books are very expensive where I live, and I wouldn't like to ruin them. Also, I hated when I was a kid and other kids asked me to borrow my books. Me, being young and dumb, shared my books with them... only to have my books returned with food stains, pages ripped, the covers all cracked, notes written all over. I just cried and vowed to never let another of my books end like that. My parents had spent lots of money (and time, because the nearest book store was 4 hours away on car) to buy me books for my brat "friends" to destroy them.
mandy98 I empathize because I did the same when I was young and couldn’t afford books except for one on birthdays and Christmas. But Kendall’s books look new because she really hasn’t read them. Not because she was careful.
I'm not one to judge for liking short books. I like short books! Thing is, along with what you're saying, kinda seems like she wants the vibe of her home to be a reader's house but she doesn't read.
Can you do a video on Marilyn Monroe's favorite books pleaseeee? I recently learned she loved reading and had hundreds of books at home in her little library and I'm so curious about her taste in literature. Love you🤍🌸

Okay, but the way Kendall Jenner displayed her books is an actual crime and the amount of anguish it caused me makes me feel like I'm the one doing the time😭
As someone who’s a book lover and an aspiring interior designer, seeing home some people use books for decorative purposes hurts my soul. The worst is when the have the covers removed and store the books with the pages facing outwards.
I've heard that any book you aren't currently reading is a decoration. It's true in a way otherwise people wouldn't worry about organizing their bookshelves. Does it hurt your soul to see Jack's color gradient of books behind him in the shot because that was done for aesthetic decorations?
i just realize that this guy its making money and living of it just by reading books and tell us if he likes it or not... and i cant. like... this is amazing, im so jelous. (Sorry if my english is shit, im still learning)
My theory: Other people like assistants read them first, and they tag the bits they advise her to try to read. But honestly, I doubt she's really reading them for retention. More like, you gotta be snapped reading these, whether you actually read them to understand and comprehend, eh no matter.
Why is no one talking about the "lang leeeellllll auuuuu ffff fffff ffffff" pronunciation, like I've literally rewinded the video 5 times just to hear that, and laughed the heck out 😂 8:28

i don't have enough knowledge of the english language to express how poetic is the clip when your housemate enters the room with a bag of goods to give you some candy while you are sit on the ground talking about a book. The way he calls you darling and the way, after he leaves, you continue to talk as passionately as before is, to me, cinema.
YES YES IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT but uk those pictures that look very familiar from your childhood that just look disturbing? Those that people post like a bunch of them THOSEEEEEE RADIATE THE SAME ENERGYYY IDK HOW????
Back then i thought lang leav(the author of sea of strangers) is extremele good beacuse almost everyone in our class likes her works but then when i read one i was so confused because i didn't like it
Honestly I would much rather stay in an apartment above a pizza shop than a gigantic lonely mansion. If the pizza shop is good that is. Imagine pizza being so close to you at any minute...
Nah mate, you've got a chef and a wood fired oven in that mansion. Just ding-a-ling that bell and the chef will phone their Michelin star mate in Italy for their topping suggestion, then bring it you in your jacuzzi. At least that's what I'd have if I were Kendall 😬🤣
i used to live next door to a pizza shop and i can confirm it is a great experience. whenever i wanted a snack i would go get a slice or if we ordered a pizza we would just go next door and get it
I think you read more of the “Kendall Jenner book recommendations” than Kendall herself. She maybe read two or three pages of one of them and then weirdly displayed them at the end of the bed because they looked aesthetic 🤣
me: ugh an ad about coffee pods that are plastic and just go into a landfill Jack: these pods are plastic free so they don't go into a landfill me: 👁👄👁
i also read the book Kendall and Kylie Jenner "wrote" back in 2014... and it was so bad -- watch here: th-cam.com/video/oRA2OYHH66c/w-d-xo.html ✨

Me, being young and dumb, shared my books with them... only to have my books returned with food stains, pages ripped, the covers all cracked, notes written all over. I just cried and vowed to never let another of my books end like that. My parents had spent lots of money (and time, because the nearest book store was 4 hours away on car) to buy me books for my brat "friends" to destroy them.
mandy98 I empathize because I did the same when I was young and couldn’t afford books except for one on birthdays and Christmas.
But Kendall’s books look new because she really hasn’t read them. Not because she was careful.
I'm not one to judge for liking short books. I like short books! Thing is, along with what you're saying, kinda seems like she wants the vibe of her home to be a reader's house but she doesn't read.
Can you do a video on Marilyn Monroe's favorite books pleaseeee? I recently learned she loved reading and had hundreds of books at home in her little library and I'm so curious about her taste in literature.
Love you🤍🌸
Isn’t anyone else freaking out that he had coffee just sat on his bed and he has WHITE sheets. Far braver than me jack edwards
ME. ME. ME.
I do that too but every time I am aware that something could happen.
I mean, this man went through Kendall Jenner's literary recommendations. Talk about being BRAVE.

The dedication behind finishing books you don't like. I just can't do it.
Okay, but the way Kendall Jenner displayed her books is an actual crime and the amount of anguish it caused me makes me feel like I'm the one doing the time😭
To me it looked like a flatlay for Instagram that she forgot to put away. Probably, because she doesnt have an actual bookshelf...
Lol, probably 😂
I found it kind of funny that he nitpicked that when his shelf is sectioned by color lol
@@TheRaquelephant I mean, it’s better than have your books spread out like a spreadsheet
@@TheRaquelephant at least his is aestetic
“you’re not strangers, you’re friends” thank you, i feel ACKNOWLEDGED HAHAHAHA
As someone who’s a book lover and an aspiring interior designer, seeing home some people use books for decorative purposes hurts my soul. The worst is when the have the covers removed and store the books with the pages facing outwards.
Who does that? 🥺🥺
Nooooo
I've heard that any book you aren't currently reading is a decoration. It's true in a way otherwise people wouldn't worry about organizing their bookshelves. Does it hurt your soul to see Jack's color gradient of books behind him in the shot because that was done for aesthetic decorations?
“this book is the future of writing” “IS THAT A THREAT” JACK ‼️‼️‼️
“RIP Malcolm X because he would’ve loved Kendall Jenner” fucking sent me
i just realize that this guy its making money and living of it just by reading books and tell us if he likes it or not... and i cant. like... this is amazing, im so jelous. (Sorry if my english is shit, im still learning)
Hopefully her taste is terrible, because I always end up buying a bunch of books after these videos
“after all she did end police brutality” I YELPED
No way does she actually annotate her books with full sized post it notes lmfao
My theory: Other people like assistants read them first, and they tag the bits they advise her to try to read. But honestly, I doubt she's really reading them for retention. More like, you gotta be snapped reading these, whether you actually read them to understand and comprehend, eh no matter.
Why is no one talking about the "lang leeeellllll auuuuu ffff fffff ffffff" pronunciation, like I've literally rewinded the video 5 times just to hear that, and laughed the heck out 😂 8:28
Soooo funny 😂😂😂
I agree😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a video, LOL!! I'm dying th-cam.com/video/XIkLR5u2GYg/w-d-xo.html
Lang LELELELELEL..... and what was with the fff sounds ahhahaha so funny
@ba da ba ba ba I'm sorry if it came across as rude or offensive but it was not intended to be so, we were just having a laugh over the way the video pronounced the name, not the name itself. I still apologise if it came across as offensive.
“This book is the future of writing”.... best response “Really? Is that a threat? 🤣🤣🤣
I subscribed right there
💀💀
there’s no way she actually reads 😭
I’m shocked you liked one! Was expecting to see you dismiss them all. Shows how you don’t go in with preconceptions and instead bring us honest reviews! Thank you again for another great video :)
it was such a mix!!! genuinely some of the best and worst books i've read all year
I love how he's simultaneously the most positive, forgiving and loving guy but says the most brutal shit about bad literature. I love it. HAHAHA
Rewatching this after finding out Kendall Jenner watched this and called you out in an interview 😅
Wait, which one???
Wait which interview?.
@@esthergift8373 they disappeared 😔
Does anyone know what the article is called? I want to read it, too!
I literally SCREAMED, when you said "This is the future of writing.... Is this a threat?" I laughed at that for literally too long
IM ROLLING AT “on day one I realize I washnt good enugfhf”
I thought i was the only one. Lmaaaaoooo
I laughed sooo hard hahaha
What about Lang llllllllleve
😂😂

Also, if any of you are interested, a bunch of us started a book club! For May 2021 we’re reading 1984 :D
Oh also it’s on Reddit! r/JackEdwards :)
Where did you guys start this? How can I participate? Is it online? Sorry if I am asking so much questions.
@@aulbayne oh thanks very much dude.
@@Clementine3107 hi no worries! We’re on Reddit at r/JackEdwards. There’s a post announcing it and then once we finish reading it, you can leave a comment and we can all discuss it together :)
@@aulbayne you are so kind. Thank you!
"If this is the future of writing, I'm shredding my English degree" 😂😂😂
Who’s here after watching the Andrew Garfield book rec video?
me 😭😭😭
In German we have a word for your feelings towards the first book. It's called Fremdschämen.
Ooo I’m adding this to my vocab 😎
Fremdschämen= Secondhand embarrassment. Nothing special..
in finnish it's called myötähäpeä which would literally translate to with-shame
in Portugal we say "vergonha alheia" for secondhand embarrassment
There's a word for it in English too ;). Second hand embarrasment. In Dutch we say 'plaatsvervangende schaamte'. So this isn't really a word that is typical of the German language. A lot of languages have a word for it.
Amparo Dávila passed away last year. She was from Pinos, Zacatecas (Mexico) and was married to another famous zacatecan artist, painter Pedro Coronel. There's a national short story award in her name. Greetings from Zacatecas.
If someone is interested: there's a novel by Cristina Rivera Garza (another mexican author) that makes reference to several stories of Amparo Dávila and has been translated to english: "The Iliac Crest", published by Feminist Press. (Greetings from Veracruz, México)
Saludos desde CDMX paisanos
Greetings to Zacatecas from Vienna! A beautiful city🥰
My family comes from Zacatecas! Saludos!

Everytime he roasts her I thought hehe she saw that jack

i don't have enough knowledge of the english language to express how poetic is the clip when your housemate enters the room with a bag of goods to give you some candy while you are sit on the ground talking about a book. The way he calls you darling and the way, after he leaves, you continue to talk as passionately as before is, to me, cinema.
All these books covers make me weirdly uncomfortable. Like they're not ugly, but they make me want to look away or burn them idk why
THISSSS
YES YES IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT but uk those pictures that look very familiar from your childhood that just look disturbing? Those that people post like a bunch of them THOSEEEEEE RADIATE THE SAME ENERGYYY IDK HOW????
“...or burn them” WHY IS THIS SENDING ME 😭😭😭
they're not ugly but doesn't interest me on reading them. the cover feels so lonely
EXACTLYYY I HATE THOSE COVERS why is everyone finding them attractive
12:50 "For me, this put the dull in ken-dull" NOO YOU DONT JUST SAY THAT im wheezing
Ngl I came back to this video right after the andrew garfield one
You should do a Ben Barnes version of this video! He has an English literature degree so I’m sure it won’t be disappointing haha
Yesssss
I literally love Ben Barnes so much
Wow. This makes me love him even more
''i like to judge rich people's taste in interior design!''because same energy
The unexpected Halsey impression left me on the floor
my soul left my fucking body hshdjdkahf
I feel like sea of strangers is a compilation of all the "so deep" tweets that come back twice a month
Exactly !! Very cringey and fake sounding
True. I still hate myself for buying it.
Back then i thought lang leav(the author of sea of strangers) is extremele good beacuse almost everyone in our class likes her works but then when i read one i was so confused because i didn't like it
@@daebaekyu6385 lang leav was able to ride the aesthetic wave. Probably the pioneers of instagram poetry
Damn he actually organizes his laundry by darks and lights instead of just throwing everything in together and hoping for the best
“A good gift to someone who you think would like poetry but doesn’t read very much of it if that makes sense” that made so much sense
IT DO!!
Am I the only one sad that when Jack turns 23 he'll have to lose his taylor swift reference in the info box :(
He’s only 22? Jesus he looks so much older
He can then have a blink182 reference: what's my age again? What's my age again?
Wt is the Taylor Swift reference??
@@ameraahmed5695 she has a song called 22 and he uses a line from it to say he’s that age
@@alioc3298 oh thnx
“Guyysss im the worst reader”
-kendall, at an award show
Honestly I would much rather stay in an apartment above a pizza shop than a gigantic lonely mansion. If the pizza shop is good that is. Imagine pizza being so close to you at any minute...
That sounds like life goals.
That's how you'll die of pizza overdose 😂
Nah mate, you've got a chef and a wood fired oven in that mansion. Just ding-a-ling that bell and the chef will phone their Michelin star mate in Italy for their topping suggestion, then bring it you in your jacuzzi.
At least that's what I'd have if I were Kendall 😬🤣
i used to live next door to a pizza shop and i can confirm it is a great experience. whenever i wanted a snack i would go get a slice or if we ordered a pizza we would just go next door and get it
Ironically, living above a pizza shop in London doesn't even necessarily mean he's not posh
Amparo Dávila died in 2020, she was 92. A brilliant writer.
Nooooo. So sad
may she rest in peace
is anyone else here scrolling through the comments trying to find people who came here because kendall calling jack out 😭
Me, this is me🤣
THE HALSEY BIT IM SOBBING
KKKJKKKKKKK HES SO- 😭😭😭 MEEEAAAANNN KKLHMJGNGJ
He needs to release an audio book of his book halsey version
"Just because something appeals to mass audience doesn't mean it's inherently bad" SAY IT!!! I'm a newer subscriber but loving your vids. :)
Now I have to read the first book. Second-hand embarrassment is one of my favourite things
I think you read more of the “Kendall Jenner book recommendations” than Kendall herself. She maybe read two or three pages of one of them and then weirdly displayed them at the end of the bed because they looked aesthetic 🤣
me: ugh an ad about coffee pods that are plastic and just go into a landfill
Jack: these pods are plastic free so they don't go into a landfill
me: 👁👄👁
Trying way too hard
who else is watching this after he told us she dragged him in an interview 😅😂
“i’m just against the way it was executed”
“as in like it made me want to be executed”
