Agreed tbh. Like I love Garfield a lot however I don't assume that these books interest me more about him as much as it interest me more to know if he has a similar taste to mine, so I can read more of his reccomendations

What Kendall Jenner said is technically true to a certain extent, but as someone who chooses to share her private life in exchange for fame and fortune (and that's literally how she makes her money), she really has no basis to complain about people critiquing her recommendations.
She never complained though. She said "what i like is personal and nobody's business" which i took as meaning she doesn't feel like justifying or validating her taste which is a fair thing to say. I don't understand the narrative people are spinning about her being super upset or playing the victim. She literally just said "this is for me Not you" and people are acting like she tweeted at Jack a personal FU or something
Everyone has a right to privacy but you've no right to complain when people interact with content you willingly post publicly, unless it's outright harassment or bullying or something and this really was just good-natured criticism.
@@asterismos5451 she didn't complain though. She just said her taste in reading is private to her. If we can criticize her taste she can also join in by saying "yeah well what i read is for me not you"
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kendall Jenner publicly post her "to read" list on her insta after people got interested in the photos she had that had books in them? I can understand the discomfort if other people made a "Kendall read these books" list on their own and critiqued them, but when you post a list of books you recommend for to share publicly to interested people on instagram it comes off as such a weird thing to complain about. You put the list expecting people will read the books and assumingly knowing they will have differing opinions because everyone has different tastes. The video wasn't critiquing her taste in books, it was simply critiquing the books themselves, which is bound to happen. Would she be saying the same thing if Jack loved every single book?
That's exactly what I thought!. And yeah, Jack didn't like the books themselves because he has different tastes! Books, like any piece of art, are so subjective, so I really don't get her complaining about it. If someone, in this case a stranger on the internet, would dislike or even hate one of my favorites, I wouldn't take it as an insult aimed at me because they don't know me at all. They're talking about the media, not me.
To be the devil's advocate here, the video title for the Kendall Jenner book recommendations is "I read every book Kendall Jenner has recommended on Instagram and her taste is... questionable," which is a clear judgment on her personal taste. I'm not saying Jack was wrong not to like the books or make these kinds of videos (I, like many others, love them), but Kendall is not entirely wrong in her remark either.
Not Kendall calling out a RUclipsr whose channel literally consists of book reviews to "mind his business" when she's the one who put out those books in display. I bet she wouldn't say "mind your business" if only Jack praised her taste in literature.
kendall jenner seemed like she just can't comprehend jack not having the exact same views of the books as her. these videos are genuinely awesome, and jack is the absolute least malicious guy on the internet. if she doesn't wanna be part of the celebrity book club, then screw her! great video as always!
Kendall: Reading is personal to me. That's nobody's business. Y'all: OMG SHES SOOOO UPSET SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE EXACTLY WHAT SHE LIKES WTFFFF SHES FAMOUS THOUGH SHE CANT HAVE FEELINGS!!!!
If she wanted her reading taste to stay private, she wouldn't have posted it on the internet. She's just salty someone didn't like the books she recommended despite Jack being incredibly honest and fair in his reviews. I don't feel bad for her at all. She's famous across the world and makes millions and thinks complaining about an educational youtuber who I doubt makes anywhere near as much as her is acceptable.
@@hcstubbs3290 you guys took Jack joking "she dragged me through filth" way too seriously. She didn't "punch" a RUclipsr. She literally said books are private and nobody's business and you guys are acting like she's personally started a Twitter beef with him or something.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 she literally just said that what she reads is personal to her and nobody's business. How is that accusing Jack of being a bad person for criticizing her taste?
the best way i can describe kendall jenner’s taste in literature is “shallow”. i’ve read the books because i was curious to see for myself what the books were and yeah… shallow. also, she got upset about jack’s review when it genuinely looks like she displayed the books like that just for the interview? did she not think people would try to read the books she did? or is she upset we didn’t think they were as profound as she did?
Andrew Garfield is such an intriguing man, I love watching his interviews. Would love to listen to him talk hours about books. Imagine him coming to Jack's channel to discuss books, it would be *perfect*.
I feel like Andrew Garfield could himself write a book someday, the way he describes the most mundane things, the way he genuinely appreciates art and the entire process of it, transcending basic actions to an extraordinary level ! Fell in love with him a little more after this video ❣
Sometimes I imagine being a celebrity, running around with books very visible/posting them etc and to hope that they might get their way into one of his videos
Same, I know it's one of the more hated "classics" and I don't think it's my favorite piece of classic literature or anything, but I really do love it. Holden watching Phoebe on the carousel so happy he's almost to the point of crying and Holden talking about Allie are always moments that get me
@@misabmalbari4575 What frog says is correct, but what might also be useful to know is: - it's almost exclusively enjoyed in the UK or its former colonies - most importantly, most people think it's absolutely vile except for a decent group within those places (UK or former colonies). And because of that, and because it's a shared childhood memory for a lot of those people, it's become sort of something British people flock to to either revel in their Britishness or compare anything polarising to.
You need to frame that Kendall Jenner article and put it on your wall! Lol!! If she didn’t want to be judged by what she’s reading she should buy a kindle
2 года назад+122
Yeah, thats what I do when I read hot romance with those awful "naked man" covers 🤣
Nah, she makes millions and millions and millions from being a celeb, moaning about a side effect of that elicits very little sympathy from me. Ppl can critique a public figure & the stuff she openly recommends or visibly carries, if she really wanted it private you wouldnt know 😭😭 keep it up Jack!!!!
And really, is seeing someone reading a book or hearing someone talk about a book, reading that same book, and then saying "I didn't like that book" a personal attack? Or an invasion of privacy? Imagine your friend told you about a book they were reading, you read it too to see what it's like but didn't like it, and that friend was like "ummm don't read the books I like and critique them!!! that's a private personal thing for me!!!!!!" like wtf she doesn't own the rights to who can and can't read books or comment on them.
@May did you just say someone not liking the books you read could be traumatizing. "She also didn't ask anyone to follow her on social media. we just do it." please she would cry if everyone unfollowed her today. There's plently of celebrities that simply don't have social media or use it but under an anon account. If she didn't want to be in the public eye, she could remove herself right now
It's crazy to think about this with any other profession. Like, imagine following a chef home and demanding that he cook you another meal because that's his job and you've paid to go to their restaurant so that means that they should expect to cook at a moment's notice. A celebrity being an entertainer or model doesn't mean they can't read a book in a park without any privacy. Yes it's a side effect, and i don't necessarily pity her, but to act like we're entitled to stalk her when she leaves her house and she has no right to complain at all is just a weird mentality to have and to try and justify. Not that you specifically are doing the stalking or are advocating for it, but saying someone can't complain about not having privacy because of their occupation is weird to me.
I agree. There are some “celebs” do live private lives look at Daniel Radcliffe or Cillian Murphy . She makes money from being in the public a lot of money too. That’s the point of being a “celeb celeb” she doesn’t have any other job. It’s not like she is an actor or presenter or musician . She is barely a model
If kendall jenner really wanted her reading habits to be private she wouldn't share the books she read. It's not like you broke into her house to see what books are on her shelves...
The smile he has on his face while talking about books is so precious....it makes me think that people are really passionate about something in today's world rather than money
@@tothemoonbase there’s nothing stupid about wanting privacy but if she wanted “privacy” then she shouldn’t post things online. obviously everyone has different taste in books therefore if she didn’t want people to comment on her interest she shouldn’t have made them known.
it's so funny to me that this period of time is considered "the andrew garfield renaissance". this man has never left my brain since i found out that he existed at 12 years old
I love this series! Andrew Garfield's taste in reading did not disappoint. I understand the appeal of good and likable characters but flawed and complex characters have always felt like home to me.
He did but must have taken it down for some reason! I tried clicking on my notification and it said the video was private or something. Dw, the matrix didn't blip 😂
Literally JUST watched yet another YT thing about the little masterpiece that is "tick, tick... BOOM!".. And here's Jack with a fresh Andrew-Garfield-related video! Perfect timing, as always ))
Growing up I was never much of a reader, but after watching a lot of your videos and talking to some friends who are avid readers, I’ve really come to love it, so thank you!
omg mary oliver!! she's one of my favorite poets. her poetry collection "devotions" has been very influential to me. i'd love to see you do a video reading some of her poetry, not just essays
One of the books in Andrew's hand in the picture at 2:04 is a literary criticism book about Trickster style characters. I'm actually kind of shocked another person found it interesting besides me.
@@beatrice3725 Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art , he has the older hardcover edition i have, but it has been reprinted since. It's really cool, just as a survey of those ideas across a few different cultures.
I LOVE RILKE!! and the letters to a young poet is my first read from him. it's made me feel good to know that andrew referred to it as a textbook because it really has a lot of lessons you can apply in your life as an artist. thank you, jack!! looking forward to you reading more of rilke's works!
I love the Kendal bags on you about “nothing is private” but has had a show on television about her life for the past…..what…..20 seasons or something?
To be fair I feel like she was too young when it started to really have a choice about being in the show, so I can see how that would be weird as you grow up and realize you wish you'd had a more normal and private childhood. BUT. Yeah I think her acting like Jack's video was invasive, when he only talked about books she brought up and recommended in interviews, is pretty uncool of her.
Hi Jack, I'm from Ukraine and I'm thoroughly grateful that you did this and therefore helped our people financially. It feels good to know that you didn't just pretend like nothing happened (like all Russian influencers now do) It is urgent for us to raise awareness about all the atrocities perpetrated by Russians. We need support, the stakes are Ukraine, our country, and Ukrainians, our valiant, fearless, strong people. Once again, thank you for your help. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Слава Україні!
oh my god, i love Mary Oliver. it makes me so happy that you’re reviewing one of her collections. id personally recommend Dog Songs or A Thousand Mornings next if you want more of her work! edit: coming back, id also recommend Why I Wake Early. that’s the first poetry collection i read by her, and it’s got a special place in my heart
Jack, just before you uploaded this video, I failed a very important exam and I was not feeling well becuase i did my best and it wasn't enough, but this video really helped me feel better. You don't know how much I thank you :)
Awn, I hope you feel better now😢 I look back at the big exams I failed as opportunities to follow a new path. Although at the time nothing could make me feel better about it…
hey hang in there! i know exactly how u feel because that’s how i felt a few days ago and i had no one really to talk about it in that moment. i hope you’ll feel better soon, so sorry you had to go through that! sending love 🤍 ur not alone xx
@@WEYffles Thanks for your very beautiful and heart warming comment I'm actually gonna take that exam next year! And of course that there is million of ways for being successful and happy in life:))) Wish you luck in life🥺❤
Ocean Vuong is my favourite writer and I funnily enough first heard of his work through an interview (I think he was talking about toxic masculinity and violence in America). Like Andrew, I also just wept the entire time. He has such an incredible way with words that just moves me to tears like nobody else. I think I've read his poetry collection four times now and it never gets old. Also: Ocean Vuong shared the article you mentioned on his Instagram story awhile back and said he'd gladly be Andrew's wife ahaha it's the best and most unexpected internet moment
I'm so glad I found this today. I listened to the On Being interview with Ocean Vuong and also cried my eyes out. I lost a friend to an overdose, probably intentional, a year ago this week, and hearing him talk about his own reckoning with a suicide of a loved one helped me find some new words for my grief. Didn't expect to cry at work in a tax office today, but I'll take it over numb disbelief. ❤️
Shows lack of maturity from Kendall because different people do have different opinions about books. Jack giving his view on her choices is completely fine as there are thousands of other people sharing their views on the same books?? Also, she shouldn’t be carrying around her books in public or posting about them if she wants it to be a ‘personal experience’, given that she’s a public figure. Love LOVE celebrity book club and literally everything you post Jack!
How is Kendall saying that her taste in books is personal to her and nobody's business showing a lack of maturity? If someone said they hated something i loved I'd reply with "well i personally like it and it's definitely good to me". That's what I got from her comment. Idk why people are trying to make it seem like she's super upset or angry with Jack. She didn't even call him out. I think you guys may have taken Jack joking "she dragged me through filth" too seriously.
@@janiedoie I said it’s immature purely because she sounded defensive. She said it’s no one’s business what she reads which according to me is immature because end of the day, she is a public figure and that’s just what comes with being in the public eye. No hate to her at all.
@@naurinkarim3537 She may have been a bit defensive, but if someone can make a video on their opinions on her taste in books then she can reply by saying "What I like is personal to me and it's not for you". I don't think that makes her immature. She can state that what she likes to read isn't read for others.
@@janiedoie she is a celebrity. A public figure. People will give their opinions on everything she does, what she wears, eats, reads, the list goes on. That’s what comes with being famous. Moreover, Jack wasn’t attacking her. So bringing up a random RUclips video and saying it’s none of anyone’s business is odd. No one said she can’t enjoy what she reads.
@@janiedoie Somebody criticized her taste in literature and her immediate response was "I'm so rich and famous that I can't even read a book without people judging me". If she doesn't want to be judged by her taste in literature then she can read privately or buy some book sleeves. I don't know about you, but there are books I don't read in public, and I don't frequently run into people that are going to write articles about the books I read.
I adore you, Jack, truly. I think your gushing over books is refreshing, and I wish more people were readers. Sometimes, I wish you'd read and review just...trash books. Not like legit books you tear apart because you hate them, but like...shifter romance novels, bumbling office worker turned bond recovery agent, something just...trash, but fun that people read casually just for fun. I'd love to hear your take on those kinds of books.
as a Ukrainian, it’s so heartwarming to see you caring about Ukraine and helping us! i love your videos, they are my way of distracting myself from everything that’s happening. It would also be so cool if you read ukrainian books as well, as our culture is really vibrant lots of love 💙💛
Ohhhh, these are ALL my favorite writers. I've read a lot of Oliver and Rilke's poetry, now time to seek out their other works. Thank you Andrew Garfield (and Jack) for never disappointing.
the minute I saw “letter to a young poet” i paused the video in shock. I read that book two years ago, and I loved it so much that I got it on my shelf. It’s outstanding, in every which way possible. truly a work of art.
I absolutely love this series. I’ve recently gotten back into reading and something I appreciate about Jack’s videos is his honesty and ability to critique books beyond “it was good/ bad” it’s something I never really thought about and I assumed I had an obligation to just like every book I read, but I’ve really loved listening to Jack talk about various books and honestly it’s helped me be a better reader ( because I’m not as afraid to say the things I feel work/ don’t really work for me about a story). Also it’s just good fun to watch ❤️- Kira
Jack!! OMG!! How do you so perfectly describe how people feel about “Catcher in the Rye”? It really is like marmite!! It’s so polarizing!! I swear I’m so glad I found this channel.
One of the most beautiful things about reading a book is to share so you can talk about it and through someone else's eyes. I love the way you review the books with humor and passion! Please never stop this series of celebs recomendations!!
I remember in one of their interviews for spiderman Emma Stone said Andrew recommended to everyone he met to read Letters To A Young Poet and I just got to read it recently and it is my favorite book now
Your POV on Catcher In The Rye was perfection. Personally I loved the book. Also, I love your Celebrity Reads series so don’t fret too much over Miss Jenner.
Night Sky With Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong is an absolutely mesmerising poetry experience you’ll never regret. His poetry reminds me of TS Eliot’s…if TS Eliot had a deep sense of traumatic legacy and a heartbreaking yearning to be understood. Ocean’s poetry is equally complex, memorable and lyrical, but it also carries with it the weight of inter-generational pain. ‘You move through me like rain heard in another country. Yes, you are a country. Someday, they will find it while searching for lost ships…’ Like who writes like that? I once saw this twitter post that said Ocean Vuong is the TS Eliot for those who consider Kim Namjoon to be there their Mary Oliver. I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Can’t wait for his next poetry collection Love is a Mother. It’s coming in April!
Kendall Jenner only wanted to stir the pot and she should be the one to keep her nose out of this channel. Jack is not bothering anyone by sharing his opinion about the books that celebrities read, in fact this section brings us closer to the artists' work such as the Taylor Swift videos. It gives depth to what celebrities have in mind, catches their attention and is their philosophy in life. Also Jack is being honest and is okay if he doesn't like the same books as her. Plus, if Kendall is super concerned maybe we should all just keep our hands away even from writing negative reviews about the books she likes (although we didn't) even from Goodreads because poor her, her taste in books is being questioned by a bunch of random strangers on the internet (/sarcasm).
She literally just said "what i like to read is personal to me and isnt for anybody else" and you wrote a think piece on how she has no right to be upset even though she never said she was. Weird
@@janiedoie You know what's really weird? All the comments you're posting trying to excuse her. Not only are you replying to me but also to a lot of viewers who don't agree with you. Either you're seeking for some attention that, besides this reply, I refuse to give you or you're a very young person who needs to understand that a lot of people will not agree with the Kardashians and we have all the right in the world, including Jack, to have an opinion about their questionable taste in books. If Kendall thinks that her book choices are "personal to her" then she should have never made them public in the first place. She could have kept a personal reading journal instead.
@@RebeDrawsStuff I'm allowed to express my opinions to you and everybody else. You posted a comment publically on a public video, so by your own logic, you are seeking attention and shouldn't be so upset when someone disagrees with you. I also never said in any of my comments that nobody is allowed to disagree or dislike the Kardashians. I just find it strange that people are twisting one small sentence she said about her taste being personal to her and not for anybody but her to make it seem like she's personally attacking everybody who doesn't like the books she likes. I just think you misunderstood what she said and hold a different point of view than you do, and ironically, you're doing exactly what you accuse Kendall of doing. Kinda funny
@@janiedoie the only problem we've got with kendall is the way she doesn't want to be judged for something she put up on social media for millions of people to see and then expected those millions of people to mind their own business when that clearly wouldn't happen when you're sharing your life with so many people...
@@idknanmolla1710 that's fair, but people are acting like she's done a horrendous horrible thing. Sure, she was being defensive. If I were to post publically my favorite books and someone made a post saying "____'s taste is bad" I can't say I wouldn't be just as upset by it, even though I invited criticism for posting it publicly. I think that's normal. And Jack laughed about it in the beginning and end of his video, so I don't think he's offended. So I just find it strange that so many people are super fixated on this one thing she said as if she's a monster for it. IMO there are so many ligitimate things we could criticize the Kardashian/Jenners for. Like their exploitation of cheep labor, cultural appropriation, and stealing from smaller creators. I feel like making every single thing they say and do a huge deal diminishes the fair criticism they get on the important stuff. If me making a meme makes thousands of people hate and say horrible things about me why would I listen when something supposedly actually bad happens? They both elicit the exact same response. I don't think we can blame them for being out of touch when we make every little thing such a big deal.
The Renaissance of Andrew Garfield or what I call, ‘Andrewssance’ is what we’re here for. Any type of Andrew Garfield and I get so excited. Also, majorly shipping Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg.
Ocean Vuong is my favorite writer and it usually don't really watch interviews from writers but i listened to two different readings of his and when i realised that he was reading the same part in both i just couldn't turn it off. So i listened to the same part of the book read out loud twice in two days. This man's voice is just so damn addictive!
I’m so glad you got to read Mary Oliver!!! I seriously adore and worship her. Woman is an absolute genius and definitely one of the best of humanity. The wonderful thing is that she’s published so many works that you can just binge them all if you’re in the mood for it. My favorites by her are American Primitive (for which she won the Pulitzer Prize), Dream Work (kind of a sister/sequel to American primitive), Evidence, and Devotions (her last published book before she died)
You should totally try reading south asian books. Their literature is very colourful and lyrical. It’d be really nice to see your interpretation of it.
And this is the main reason why i fell in love with Andrew Garfield. I've always found it endearing and in awe how he expresses himself so eloquently in his interviews. So when I found out last month that he also read books (his interview with Believer where he mentioned On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. That whole interview is really good btw!), I can see his taste in books reflects that. And then there goes my dilemma if I'll ever gonna find someone like him 🥲
I’m sorry but Kendall Jenner’s reaction is so ridiculous. I understand the boundary element but you can’t have your cake and eat it. If everyone loved what she was reading would she reacted the same way? No, I don’t think so. When she wears a certain brand and other people see it and buy it or when people make videos about how to dress like her, she doesn’t start “it’s none of your business what I wear” does she? It’s so off putting when people get so worked up over other people’s disagreements.
You make a great argument with the fashion point, I didn't think of it that way, The way I took her comment was, "What I enjoy reading is personal to me, and I don't do it for anybody else." Which I personally think is fair. If someone said they didn't like something I did I would probably say something in the same vein. Yeah, it may come from a defensive place, because if they did like her books she wouldn't have said anything, but I don't think being defensive is always bad. She wasn't attacking him said she was mad that he didn't like what she liked, she just said that it doesn't matter to her if he likes her favorite books or not.
@@janiedoie shes just salty he called her taste in books bad, which i think is fair but if her taste is so personal to her and its nobodys business, maybe dont post it for 200 million people to see lmaoooo
@@user-hk8oo9ve1z I agree that her response was defensive, I just find it strange that so many people in the comments in this video are actively angry with her and saying she's a horrible person and attacking Jack for being a bit defensive. Jack himself was laughing about it in the beginning and end of the video, so I don't get why people are so heated with her for being defensive. Someone else said, which I agree with, if I were to post my favorite books publically and someone Dm'd me or made a post about how much they disliked my favorite books, I, like I think most people, would be salty about it. Sure it's fair that he expresses his opinions, but it's also fair she defends herself.

If you like Rilke you have to read The Panther. Is so short but so ingenious. Rilke combines the structure of the poet with the story he wants to portray and I so so hope it's the same with the englisch translation because the german version was a blessing
I love these celebrity book club videos so much!!! Please never stop doing them lol! And some of you may have heard but we actually have an online community with over 1,100 of us! We have a 📚BOOK CLUB📚 and are holding our first BYOB call tomorrow inspired by the IG lives! 📚😎 (details in replies)
I loved that Rilke came up! I'm a highschool student in Germany and my friends and I all enjoy reading a lot. Because we are big believers in reading and listening to media in the language it was created in, we often find ourselves reading englisch literature ( often influenced by your recommendations :-) ) Saddly, I'm the one out of the group who is the slowest in Englisch. I generally have a hard time with classics, even though I can read the most enormous fantasy tome in one day. But, (!) I love poetry! ( Especially the classics) So to see you recommend something I could actually read in german and enjoy was great! I'm not a big fan of translating poetry because I believe you can not replicate it in another language but it made me happy that you liked it! I just also wanted to say a huge thank you for being so passionate and descriptive about books you love, that you always make me wanna read them even if I know it'll take me a little bit longer..
You have to read books written by authors from Quebec! I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what you think of them and our literature! Keep up the good work, your videos are amazing💛
Jack, please continue your series, no matter what. I get to know about good books to read (and those not to read) from them. For me personally, it has nothing to do with a celebrity’s reading list. A good book is a good book regardless. ✌🏼
also the last book he recommended is in an interview that i think is one of the best interviews i've ever read of a person...the way he describes grief in it whew...

lmao yeah, she's just mad when someone doesn't like them and thinks her taste in books isn't pristine .
Yeah like you can keep some of these things to yourself. If you post it on instagram, people will have opinions about it…
Kendall Jenner: judging the books I like is an invasion to my privacy
also her: literally reccommended those books to her 200M+ followers on instagram
Invasion of her privacy but she posted her book recommendation online 🤣
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kendall Jenner publicly post her "to read" list on her insta after people got interested in the photos she had that had books in them? I can understand the discomfort if other people made a "Kendall read these books" list on their own and critiqued them, but when you post a list of books you recommend for to share publicly to interested people on instagram it comes off as such a weird thing to complain about. You put the list expecting people will read the books and assumingly knowing they will have differing opinions because everyone has different tastes. The video wasn't critiquing her taste in books, it was simply critiquing the books themselves, which is bound to happen. Would she be saying the same thing if Jack loved every single book?
Not gonna mince my words, like she did the Pepsi commercial… she’s dense
A fair point!
Well said
That's exactly what I thought!. And yeah, Jack didn't like the books themselves because he has different tastes! Books, like any piece of art, are so subjective, so I really don't get her complaining about it. If someone, in this case a stranger on the internet, would dislike or even hate one of my favorites, I wouldn't take it as an insult aimed at me because they don't know me at all. They're talking about the media, not me.
To be the devil's advocate here, the video title for the Kendall Jenner book recommendations is "I read every book Kendall Jenner has recommended on Instagram and her taste is... questionable," which is a clear judgment on her personal taste. I'm not saying Jack was wrong not to like the books or make these kinds of videos (I, like many others, love them), but Kendall is not entirely wrong in her remark either.
Kendall Jenner: “Mind your damn business, Jack Edwards.”
Jack Edwards: “I think it’s a YOU problem.”
Or in other words: It's called IssYOU not IssME 😂
Hilarious!
@@princessissii That’s a good one 🔥
I mean it is a HER problem
Not Kendall calling out a RUclipsr whose channel literally consists of book reviews to "mind his business" when she's the one who put out those books in display. I bet she wouldn't say "mind your business" if only Jack praised her taste in literature.
Why is the comments filled with kendall. i thought this video was about andrew lol
@@hgjh9765 because i think everybody is slightly irritated at the audacity kendall portrayed in that interview
yeah...... i guess kendall took the spotlight. is this similar to ruining someone else's wedding 🤣
@@hgjh9765 yea the dumb one always get the spotlight, because they're making more stupid scene
kendall jenner seemed like she just can't comprehend jack not having the exact same views of the books as her. these videos are genuinely awesome, and jack is the absolute least malicious guy on the internet. if she doesn't wanna be part of the celebrity book club, then screw her! great video as always!
Kendall: Reading is personal to me. That's nobody's business.
Y'all: OMG SHES SOOOO UPSET SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE EXACTLY WHAT SHE LIKES WTFFFF SHES FAMOUS THOUGH SHE CANT HAVE FEELINGS!!!!
If she wanted her reading taste to stay private, she wouldn't have posted it on the internet. She's just salty someone didn't like the books she recommended despite Jack being incredibly honest and fair in his reviews. I don't feel bad for her at all. She's famous across the world and makes millions and thinks complaining about an educational youtuber who I doubt makes anywhere near as much as her is acceptable.
@@hcstubbs3290 you guys took Jack joking "she dragged me through filth" way too seriously. She didn't "punch" a RUclipsr. She literally said books are private and nobody's business and you guys are acting like she's personally started a Twitter beef with him or something.
@@janiedoieshe said something utterly idiotic as if her taste that she made public is private and that somebody is a bad person for criticising it.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 she literally just said that what she reads is personal to her and nobody's business. How is that accusing Jack of being a bad person for criticizing her taste?
Being called out by a supermodel about your critique of her reading list is the most Jack Edwards thing to ever happen lol
literally lmfao
It's so funny. I feel bad for Edward. Imagine how it must feel but its so funny!
Yaaaas I have been waiting for your next “reading celebrities recommendations” video! They are so much fun, and Andrew was such a great choice
Andrew's choice in books is actually inspiring!
the best way i can describe kendall jenner’s taste in literature is “shallow”. i’ve read the books because i was curious to see for myself what the books were and yeah… shallow. also, she got upset about jack’s review when it genuinely looks like she displayed the books like that just for the interview? did she not think people would try to read the books she did? or is she upset we didn’t think they were as profound as she did?
moreover, did she even read those books herself?
im sorry i disliked it was an accident 0_0
@@Jasmyn20 dislikes are both reversible, and literally do nothing
I don't think she is upset with it, but there is no reason to criticize somebody's taste, even if shallow.
@@preci9938 yeah jack just said like it is and Kendall went on her famous people interview to pinpoint a small youtuber , we'll salty tbh
Andrew Garfield is such an intriguing man, I love watching his interviews. Would love to listen to him talk hours about books. Imagine him coming to Jack's channel to discuss books, it would be *perfect*.
I feel like Andrew Garfield could himself write a book someday, the way he describes the most mundane things, the way he genuinely appreciates art and the entire process of it, transcending basic actions to an extraordinary level ! Fell in love with him a little more after this video ❣
It's currently past 2am for me and this bit about Kendall is CRACKING ME UP 😭
Sometimes I imagine being a celebrity, running around with books very visible/posting them etc and to hope that they might get their way into one of his videos
Have your friends take paparazzi style photos of you and then DM those to Jack on twitter or Instagram
yes.
Life goals
Niall Horan would be a great candidate for the Celebrity Bookclub, he tends to read poetry soooooo
He would be a great one!!
Yess
omg yesss

YES
Calling The Catcher in the Rye "the marmite of books" is just so accurate. I fall into the unpopular opinion of loving it.
i didn't realize that it wasn't well-loved... interesting
Same, I know it's one of the more hated "classics" and I don't think it's my favorite piece of classic literature or anything, but I really do love it. Holden watching Phoebe on the carousel so happy he's almost to the point of crying and Holden talking about Allie are always moments that get me
Can anyone explain to me what marmite is ?😭
@@misabmalbari4575 its a savoury food spread. People tend to put it on toast.
@@misabmalbari4575 What frog says is correct, but what might also be useful to know is:
- it's almost exclusively enjoyed in the UK or its former colonies
- most importantly, most people think it's absolutely vile except for a decent group within those places (UK or former colonies). And because of that, and because it's a shared childhood memory for a lot of those people, it's become sort of something British people flock to to either revel in their Britishness or compare anything polarising to.
You need to frame that Kendall Jenner article and put it on your wall! Lol!! If she didn’t want to be judged by what she’s reading she should buy a kindle
Yeah, thats what I do when I read hot romance with those awful "naked man" covers 🤣
I have the guilty pleasure of reading children’s books😭I just read them on my kindle lol
Omg is kindle/Kendall a pun👀
e no shame in that! Children’s books/middle grade books are great and fun, often with heartwarming messages :)
@@Emy-fh1zn they’re so heart-warming, it’s the main reason I love them
Is anyone surprised that Andrew Garfield has excellent taste in books?!
I LOVE Andrew Garfield and your celebrity book club is one of my favorite series on your channel 💜💜 thanks for the book recommendations ☺️
She SHARED her reading choices, but then retroactively declared them private?
Alright, that's a new one.
Nah, she makes millions and millions and millions from being a celeb, moaning about a side effect of that elicits very little sympathy from me. Ppl can critique a public figure & the stuff she openly recommends or visibly carries, if she really wanted it private you wouldnt know 😭😭 keep it up Jack!!!!
Well posting sth online still doesn’t make it anyone’s business but hay let our boy earn his living 😭😭
And really, is seeing someone reading a book or hearing someone talk about a book, reading that same book, and then saying "I didn't like that book" a personal attack? Or an invasion of privacy? Imagine your friend told you about a book they were reading, you read it too to see what it's like but didn't like it, and that friend was like "ummm don't read the books I like and critique them!!! that's a private personal thing for me!!!!!!" like wtf she doesn't own the rights to who can and can't read books or comment on them.
@May did you just say someone not liking the books you read could be traumatizing. "She also didn't ask anyone to follow her on social media. we just do it." please she would cry if everyone unfollowed her today. There's plently of celebrities that simply don't have social media or use it but under an anon account. If she didn't want to be in the public eye, she could remove herself right now
It's crazy to think about this with any other profession. Like, imagine following a chef home and demanding that he cook you another meal because that's his job and you've paid to go to their restaurant so that means that they should expect to cook at a moment's notice. A celebrity being an entertainer or model doesn't mean they can't read a book in a park without any privacy. Yes it's a side effect, and i don't necessarily pity her, but to act like we're entitled to stalk her when she leaves her house and she has no right to complain at all is just a weird mentality to have and to try and justify. Not that you specifically are doing the stalking or are advocating for it, but saying someone can't complain about not having privacy because of their occupation is weird to me.
I agree. There are some “celebs” do live private lives look at Daniel Radcliffe or Cillian Murphy . She makes money from being in the public a lot of money too. That’s the point of being a “celeb celeb” she doesn’t have any other job. It’s not like she is an actor or presenter or musician . She is barely a model
If kendall jenner really wanted her reading habits to be private she wouldn't share the books she read.
It's not like you broke into her house to see what books are on her shelves...
Exactly. I don’t think certain people have a concept of not posting everything they do online!
LMFAO out of context but i just had a mental image of jack just breaking into someones house to check their bookshelves and i cant stop laughing
@@ilfak4986 thats how he gets his book recs
The smile he has on his face while talking about books is so precious....it makes me think that people are really passionate about something in today's world rather than money
Well you need money to buy those books... So..
😣
I'm sorry i can't help it
😭😭😭
1:16 Dude I have so much respect for you for not taking that as an insult. As someone who is nearly 16 I would've struggled😁
I love how Jack completely avoided actually telling us how he feels about Catcher in the Rye.
hmm... i couldn't help but wonder about that...
It sounded like he likes it to me
@@em84c he DEF was not telling!! i loved that book & still read it every so often...
Everytime I'm like "maybe Kendall Jenner is not that bad..." she goes and says/does something stupid 🙄
She’s is the most unlikeable celebrity imo
Ikr i mean seriously 😐 😂
what so stupid about wanting privacy?
@@tothemoonbase there’s nothing stupid about wanting privacy but if she wanted “privacy” then she shouldn’t post things online. obviously everyone has different taste in books therefore if she didn’t want people to comment on her interest she shouldn’t have made them known.
Andrew Garffield AND Jack Edwards? Yes please
andrew garfield and jack edwards is the ultimate combo for a thursday evening

it's so funny to me that this period of time is considered "the andrew garfield renaissance". this man has never left my brain since i found out that he existed at 12 years old
jack you know your audience so so well
I read Letters to a Young Poet literally at Andrew Garfield’s recommendation a decade ago, and it changed my life.
Celebrity bookclub videos are my favorite! Kendall should be proud that she belongs to such an honorable club :) All the best from Poland!
I love this series! Andrew Garfield's taste in reading did not disappoint. I understand the appeal of good and likable characters but flawed and complex characters have always felt like home to me.
i always knew Andrew was the Garfield of my life. and his ambrosial taste in books confirms this
"If a writing feels like a necessity you should do it." That line made me so emotional ugh i have to read it
I thought you had already posted it and was so confused to see it gone after wanting to watch it! So excited to watch this! ☺️
Same! I thought my world glitched💀
Same.
SAME
He did but must have taken it down for some reason! I tried clicking on my notification and it said the video was private or something. Dw, the matrix didn't blip 😂
Yup, he did post it, but that one didn't have the music, this one does
So I guess that's the reason why xd
Just the intro with Andrew's voice is stunning, this man is stunning and Jack is stunning for bringing us this content
Literally JUST watched yet another YT thing about the little masterpiece that is "tick, tick... BOOM!".. And here's Jack with a fresh Andrew-Garfield-related video!
Perfect timing, as always ))
Growing up I was never much of a reader, but after watching a lot of your videos and talking to some friends who are avid readers, I’ve really come to love it, so thank you!
omg mary oliver!! she's one of my favorite poets. her poetry collection "devotions" has been very influential to me. i'd love to see you do a video reading some of her poetry, not just essays
One of the books in Andrew's hand in the picture at 2:04 is a literary criticism book about Trickster style characters. I'm actually kind of shocked another person found it interesting besides me.
What’s it called?
@@beatrice3725 Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art , he has the older hardcover edition i have, but it has been reprinted since. It's really cool, just as a survey of those ideas across a few different cultures.
I LOVE RILKE!! and the letters to a young poet is my first read from him. it's made me feel good to know that andrew referred to it as a textbook because it really has a lot of lessons you can apply in your life as an artist. thank you, jack!! looking forward to you reading more of rilke's works!
I love the Kendal bags on you about “nothing is private” but has had a show on television about her life for the past…..what…..20 seasons or something?
To be fair I feel like she was too young when it started to really have a choice about being in the show, so I can see how that would be weird as you grow up and realize you wish you'd had a more normal and private childhood. BUT. Yeah I think her acting like Jack's video was invasive, when he only talked about books she brought up and recommended in interviews, is pretty uncool of her.
Hi Jack, I'm from Ukraine and I'm thoroughly grateful that you did this and therefore helped our people financially. It feels good to know that you didn't just pretend like nothing happened (like all Russian influencers now do) It is urgent for us to raise awareness about all the atrocities perpetrated by Russians. We need support, the stakes are Ukraine, our country, and Ukrainians, our valiant, fearless, strong people.
Once again, thank you for your help. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Слава Україні!
oh my god, i love Mary Oliver. it makes me so happy that you’re reviewing one of her collections. id personally recommend Dog Songs or A Thousand Mornings next if you want more of her work!
edit: coming back, id also recommend Why I Wake Early. that’s the first poetry collection i read by her, and it’s got a special place in my heart
Jack, just before you uploaded this video, I failed a very important exam and I was not feeling well becuase i did my best and it wasn't enough, but this video really helped me feel better. You don't know how much I thank you :)
Awn, I hope you feel better now😢
I look back at the big exams I failed as opportunities to follow a new path. Although at the time nothing could make me feel better about it…
hey hang in there! i know exactly how u feel because that’s how i felt a few days ago and i had no one really to talk about it in that moment. i hope you’ll feel better soon, so sorry you had to go through that! sending love 🤍 ur not alone xx

Ocean Vuong is my favourite writer and I funnily enough first heard of his work through an interview (I think he was talking about toxic masculinity and violence in America). Like Andrew, I also just wept the entire time. He has such an incredible way with words that just moves me to tears like nobody else. I think I've read his poetry collection four times now and it never gets old. Also: Ocean Vuong shared the article you mentioned on his Instagram story awhile back and said he'd gladly be Andrew's wife ahaha it's the best and most unexpected internet moment
I got to say, Andrew Garfield's picks is my MOST anticipated of all celebrities 😆😍
I'm so glad I found this today. I listened to the On Being interview with Ocean Vuong and also cried my eyes out. I lost a friend to an overdose, probably intentional, a year ago this week, and hearing him talk about his own reckoning with a suicide of a loved one helped me find some new words for my grief. Didn't expect to cry at work in a tax office today, but I'll take it over numb disbelief. ❤️
For a video you should read authors first and latest/last book.
Shows lack of maturity from Kendall because different people do have different opinions about books. Jack giving his view on her choices is completely fine as there are thousands of other people sharing their views on the same books?? Also, she shouldn’t be carrying around her books in public or posting about them if she wants it to be a ‘personal experience’, given that she’s a public figure. Love LOVE celebrity book club and literally everything you post Jack!
How is Kendall saying that her taste in books is personal to her and nobody's business showing a lack of maturity? If someone said they hated something i loved I'd reply with "well i personally like it and it's definitely good to me". That's what I got from her comment. Idk why people are trying to make it seem like she's super upset or angry with Jack. She didn't even call him out. I think you guys may have taken Jack joking "she dragged me through filth" too seriously.
@@janiedoie I said it’s immature purely because she sounded defensive. She said it’s no one’s business what she reads which according to me is immature because end of the day, she is a public figure and that’s just what comes with being in the public eye. No hate to her at all.
@@naurinkarim3537 She may have been a bit defensive, but if someone can make a video on their opinions on her taste in books then she can reply by saying "What I like is personal to me and it's not for you". I don't think that makes her immature. She can state that what she likes to read isn't read for others.
@@janiedoie she is a celebrity. A public figure. People will give their opinions on everything she does, what she wears, eats, reads, the list goes on. That’s what comes with being famous. Moreover, Jack wasn’t attacking her. So bringing up a random RUclips video and saying it’s none of anyone’s business is odd. No one said she can’t enjoy what she reads.
@@janiedoie Somebody criticized her taste in literature and her immediate response was "I'm so rich and famous that I can't even read a book without people judging me". If she doesn't want to be judged by her taste in literature then she can read privately or buy some book sleeves. I don't know about you, but there are books I don't read in public, and I don't frequently run into people that are going to write articles about the books I read.
Alright I think he’s already planning on doing this but… pls do Zendaya’s book recommendations
Yes please yes please yes please
I adore you, Jack, truly. I think your gushing over books is refreshing, and I wish more people were readers. Sometimes, I wish you'd read and review just...trash books. Not like legit books you tear apart because you hate them, but like...shifter romance novels, bumbling office worker turned bond recovery agent, something just...trash, but fun that people read casually just for fun. I'd love to hear your take on those kinds of books.
‘Upstream’ by Mary Oliver is the most Andrew Garfield Book ever. Sounds like great fun 👏🏽
as a Ukrainian, it’s so heartwarming to see you caring about Ukraine and helping us! i love your videos, they are my way of distracting myself from everything that’s happening. It would also be so cool if you read ukrainian books as well, as our culture is really vibrant
lots of love 💙💛
Letters to a young poet is such an incredible book. I have tabbed the hell out of it
Ohhhh, these are ALL my favorite writers. I've read a lot of Oliver and Rilke's poetry, now time to seek out their other works. Thank you Andrew Garfield (and Jack) for never disappointing.
I'm so here for Andrew Garfield finally getting the attention and love he deserves!
I like what you said about not needing to relate to or like a character to want to read the story. It relieves some of the pressure almost
the minute I saw “letter to a young poet” i paused the video in shock. I read that book two years ago, and I loved it so much that I got it on my shelf. It’s outstanding, in every which way possible. truly a work of art.
I absolutely love this series. I’ve recently gotten back into reading and something I appreciate about Jack’s videos is his honesty and ability to critique books beyond “it was good/ bad” it’s something I never really thought about and I assumed I had an obligation to just like every book I read, but I’ve really loved listening to Jack talk about various books and honestly it’s helped me be a better reader ( because I’m not as afraid to say the things I feel work/ don’t really work for me about a story). Also it’s just good fun to watch ❤️- Kira
“Humility is the prize of the leaf-world. Vain-glory is the bane of us, the humans.” is such a beautiful quote 👏🏽
I’ve read Ocean Vuong’s poem “Aubade with Burning City”, but not his debut novel. Now I’m super excited because of you, Jack!

Jack!! OMG!! How do you so perfectly describe how people feel about “Catcher in the Rye”? It really is like marmite!! It’s so polarizing!! I swear I’m so glad I found this channel.
Please don’t start “minding your own damn business.” 😂 I loooove this series!
One of the most beautiful things about reading a book is to share so you can talk about it and through someone else's eyes. I love the way you review the books with humor and passion! Please never stop this series of celebs recomendations!!
I remember in one of their interviews for spiderman Emma Stone said Andrew recommended to everyone he met to read Letters To A Young Poet and I just got to read it recently and it is my favorite book now
Your POV on Catcher In The Rye was perfection. Personally I loved the book.
Also, I love your Celebrity Reads series so don’t fret too much over Miss Jenner.
Night Sky With Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong is an absolutely mesmerising poetry experience you’ll never regret. His poetry reminds me of TS Eliot’s…if TS Eliot had a deep sense of traumatic legacy and a heartbreaking yearning to be understood. Ocean’s poetry is equally complex, memorable and lyrical, but it also carries with it the weight of inter-generational pain.
‘You move through me like rain heard in another country. Yes, you are a country. Someday, they will find it while searching for lost ships…’
Like who writes like that? I once saw this twitter post that said Ocean Vuong is the TS Eliot for those who consider Kim Namjoon to be there their Mary Oliver. I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
Can’t wait for his next poetry collection Love is a Mother. It’s coming in April!
Kendall Jenner only wanted to stir the pot and she should be the one to keep her nose out of this channel.
Jack is not bothering anyone by sharing his opinion about the books that celebrities read, in fact this section brings us closer to the artists' work such as the Taylor Swift videos. It gives depth to what celebrities have in mind, catches their attention and is their philosophy in life.
Also Jack is being honest and is okay if he doesn't like the same books as her.
Plus, if Kendall is super concerned maybe we should all just keep our hands away even from writing negative reviews about the books she likes (although we didn't) even from Goodreads because poor her, her taste in books is being questioned by a bunch of random strangers on the internet (/sarcasm).
She literally just said "what i like to read is personal to me and isnt for anybody else" and you wrote a think piece on how she has no right to be upset even though she never said she was. Weird
@@janiedoie You know what's really weird? All the comments you're posting trying to excuse her.
Not only are you replying to me but also to a lot of viewers who don't agree with you. Either you're seeking for some attention that, besides this reply, I refuse to give you or you're a very young person who needs to understand that a lot of people will not agree with the Kardashians and we have all the right in the world, including Jack, to have an opinion about their questionable taste in books.
If Kendall thinks that her book choices are "personal to her" then she should have never made them public in the first place. She could have kept a personal reading journal instead.
@@RebeDrawsStuff I'm allowed to express my opinions to you and everybody else. You posted a comment publically on a public video, so by your own logic, you are seeking attention and shouldn't be so upset when someone disagrees with you. I also never said in any of my comments that nobody is allowed to disagree or dislike the Kardashians. I just find it strange that people are twisting one small sentence she said about her taste being personal to her and not for anybody but her to make it seem like she's personally attacking everybody who doesn't like the books she likes. I just think you misunderstood what she said and hold a different point of view than you do, and ironically, you're doing exactly what you accuse Kendall of doing. Kinda funny
@@janiedoie the only problem we've got with kendall is the way she doesn't want to be judged for something she put up on social media for millions of people to see and then expected those millions of people to mind their own business when that clearly wouldn't happen when you're sharing your life with so many people...
@@idknanmolla1710 that's fair, but people are acting like she's done a horrendous horrible thing. Sure, she was being defensive. If I were to post publically my favorite books and someone made a post saying "____'s taste is bad" I can't say I wouldn't be just as upset by it, even though I invited criticism for posting it publicly. I think that's normal. And Jack laughed about it in the beginning and end of his video, so I don't think he's offended. So I just find it strange that so many people are super fixated on this one thing she said as if she's a monster for it.
IMO there are so many ligitimate things we could criticize the Kardashian/Jenners for. Like their exploitation of cheep labor, cultural appropriation, and stealing from smaller creators. I feel like making every single thing they say and do a huge deal diminishes the fair criticism they get on the important stuff. If me making a meme makes thousands of people hate and say horrible things about me why would I listen when something supposedly actually bad happens? They both elicit the exact same response. I don't think we can blame them for being out of touch when we make every little thing such a big deal.
The Renaissance of Andrew Garfield or what I call, ‘Andrewssance’ is what we’re here for. Any type of Andrew Garfield and I get so excited. Also, majorly shipping Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg.
Ocean Vuong is my favorite writer and it usually don't really watch interviews from writers but i listened to two different readings of his and when i realised that he was reading the same part in both i just couldn't turn it off. So i listened to the same part of the book read out loud twice in two days. This man's voice is just so damn addictive!
i wanna see you do “reading the books before watching the shows”
I’m so glad you got to read Mary Oliver!!! I seriously adore and worship her. Woman is an absolute genius and definitely one of the best of humanity. The wonderful thing is that she’s published so many works that you can just binge them all if you’re in the mood for it. My favorites by her are American Primitive (for which she won the Pulitzer Prize), Dream Work (kind of a sister/sequel to American primitive), Evidence, and Devotions (her last published book before she died)
I am a simple person: I see Jack post a new video I click
when i tell you i almost screamed when i saw the title - this is the crossover we needed but didn't deserve
Man I just gotta say, I love your night stands! They look so cozy :)
JACK WE’RE SO CLOSE TO 1 MILLION OMG
You should totally try reading south asian books. Their literature is very colourful and lyrical. It’d be really nice to see your interpretation of it.
And this is the main reason why i fell in love with Andrew Garfield. I've always found it endearing and in awe how he expresses himself so eloquently in his interviews. So when I found out last month that he also read books (his interview with Believer where he mentioned On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. That whole interview is really good btw!), I can see his taste in books reflects that. And then there goes my dilemma if I'll ever gonna find someone like him 🥲
You elevate my reading experience. I enjoy these vlogs as much as I enjoy reading the books you critic.
0:52 *in Maddie's voice* "wait, is this f*cking play about us?"
I’m sorry but Kendall Jenner’s reaction is so ridiculous. I understand the boundary element but you can’t have your cake and eat it. If everyone loved what she was reading would she reacted the same way? No, I don’t think so. When she wears a certain brand and other people see it and buy it or when people make videos about how to dress like her, she doesn’t start “it’s none of your business what I wear” does she? It’s so off putting when people get so worked up over other people’s disagreements.
You make a great argument with the fashion point, I didn't think of it that way, The way I took her comment was, "What I enjoy reading is personal to me, and I don't do it for anybody else." Which I personally think is fair. If someone said they didn't like something I did I would probably say something in the same vein. Yeah, it may come from a defensive place, because if they did like her books she wouldn't have said anything, but I don't think being defensive is always bad. She wasn't attacking him said she was mad that he didn't like what she liked, she just said that it doesn't matter to her if he likes her favorite books or not.
@@janiedoie shes just salty he called her taste in books bad, which i think is fair but if her taste is so personal to her and its nobodys business, maybe dont post it for 200 million people to see lmaoooo
@@user-hk8oo9ve1z I agree that her response was defensive, I just find it strange that so many people in the comments in this video are actively angry with her and saying she's a horrible person and attacking Jack for being a bit defensive. Jack himself was laughing about it in the beginning and end of the video, so I don't get why people are so heated with her for being defensive. Someone else said, which I agree with, if I were to post my favorite books publically and someone Dm'd me or made a post about how much they disliked my favorite books, I, like I think most people, would be salty about it. Sure it's fair that he expresses his opinions, but it's also fair she defends herself.
@@janiedoie i think the bit people are getting well i wouldnt go as far to get mad about it but the part thats funny is her saying its none of their business? bc ? she did post about them like if you make it their business theyre going to comment on it - to say well reading is personal to me so i dont mind if people dont like my recommendations is one thing to then follow up with its none of their business is the hypocritical part
@@paisleigh1989 yeah what she said didn't make too much sense, it was a defensive reflex for sure, i just don't think that makes her a horrible stupid person
If you like Rilke you have to read The Panther. Is so short but so ingenious. Rilke combines the structure of the poet with the story he wants to portray and I so so hope it's the same with the englisch translation because the german version was a blessing
I love these celebrity book club videos so much!!! Please never stop doing them lol! And some of you may have heard but we actually have an online community with over 1,100 of us! We have a 📚BOOK CLUB📚 and are holding our first BYOB call tomorrow inspired by the IG lives! 📚😎 (details in replies)
I loved that Rilke came up!
I'm a highschool student in Germany and my friends and I all enjoy reading a lot. Because we are big believers in reading and listening to media in the language it was created in, we often find ourselves reading englisch literature ( often influenced by your recommendations :-) )
Saddly, I'm the one out of the group who is the slowest in Englisch. I generally have a hard time with classics, even though I can read the most enormous fantasy tome in one day.
But, (!) I love poetry!
( Especially the classics)
So to see you recommend something I could actually read in german and enjoy was great!
I'm not a big fan of translating poetry because I believe you can not replicate it in another language but it made me happy that you liked it!
I just also wanted to say a huge thank you for being so passionate and descriptive about books you love, that you always make me wanna read them even if I know it'll take me a little bit longer..
You have to read books written by authors from Quebec! I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what you think of them and our literature! Keep up the good work, your videos are amazing💛
“Andy G” and “Peter Park-it” are some of the most majestic things I’ve ever heard
I've read Catcher in the Rye more times than any other book. I loved it at 14 and I love it at 55. It's my all time favorite.
Jack, please continue your series, no matter what. I get to know about good books to read (and those not to read) from them. For me personally, it has nothing to do with a celebrity’s reading list. A good book is a good book regardless. ✌🏼
Hey jack! Thankyou for the regular uploads, excited to watch this video🥳
also the last book he recommended is in an interview that i think is one of the best interviews i've ever read of a person...the way he describes grief in it whew...
All I heard was Kendall Jenner watched your video 😭😭😭😭
I really like your new transitions of the quote and then closing the book. Gives me Wes Anderson vibes ✨
the euphoria ref at the beginning tho >>
