It's so cool to see everyone from the Balkans hyped because Jack and Dakota were in Montenegro and Croatia. Hope you'll get to visit Bosnia some day as well :) This part of Europe is truly underrated.
This should be a whole new series section - Jack reads Europe! And every episode could be dedicated to a different country and its authors and books - German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish, Italian, etc.
I would watch that so hard! Would also be fun reading the comments of people recommanding books from their country! I already know my Dutch author rec.
Hi Jack! Could you make a video about reading some of the most famous books by Ex-Yugoslav authors like Ivo Andrić, Meša Selimović, Miroslav Krleža,Desanka Maksimović etc. as your reading diversely challenge but make it Balkan edition! :) :) We, your Balkan followers, would love to hear your opinions and thoughts about literature that we had to read throughout our childhood. :)
Yaaas, we would love to see that! Maybe even two videos, one regarding classics as mentioned in previous comment and other on contemporary literature in the Balkans, (or just mix of both in one video 😜) . Maybe we are asking too much, but that would be sooo fun!
Please add Milorad Pavic, Miljenko Jergovic and Nedzad Ibrisimovic to your list. Also Kerim Zaimovic short story collection is quite interesting... Especially when you learn what happened to him.
I actually met Ivana Bodrožić, she was my mentor on a creative writing workshop, she's given me some really useful tips and helped me improve my writing and get more comfortable with writing prose :) Also, In a Sentimental Mood is actually inspired by, and dedicated to, jazz music, which I found so cool!
Wild Woman’s description made me laugh a bit. I can’t speak to other Croatian moms but mine constantly praises her friends who had “stuck to their marriage” despite infidelity as if it’s some powerful thing to put up with men cheating until they get too old to fk around. Drives me crazy to hear it.
I suppose that by booktube standards this vlog is already quite old, BUT in case anyone in the comment section is interested in reading more Croatian literature, here are some of my go-to recommendations: - How We Broke Our Legs by Miro Gavran: a coming of age novel, Gavran is one of the most popular and most awarded contemporary Croatian authors - You Wih Hands More Innocent by Vesna Parun: a poetry collection, Vesna Parun is the most famous female poet in history of Croatian literature - Ministry of Pain & Fox by Dubravka Ugrešić: these are semi-autobiographical (but not really). Ministry of Pain deals with the fallout of Yugoslavia during the wars in the 90s from a perspective of a refugee professor of Yugoslavian literature. It deals a lot with the question of identity and language. Fox is very postmodern, it deals with the aftermath of certain political events, but mostly it tries to figure out the true purpose of literature - A Taste of Man by Slavenka Drakulić: macabre, twisted, morbid, cannibalistic and by far one of my favorite works of Drakulić - Dark Mother Earth by Kristian Novak: I don't even know how to describe this one. Definitely check for trigger warnings before reading though - Croatian Tales of Long Ago by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić: a classic of Croatian fairy tales. Mažuranić took a lot of creative liberty when writing these stories, so I don't advise on using them as a guide to Croatian folklore - City of Beasts by Andrea Tomić: dark romance, heavily atmospheric and lyrical - Republic of Stone by Tanja Radman: I really recommend this one if you enjoy fantasy and if you ever want to visit/have visited Dubrovnik (alternate history) - The Stars Among Us by Sanja S. Jungic: this is a fun, quick romance novel set in Dubrovnik - House of Durga by Jelena Hrvoj: psychollogical thriller, definitely check for trigger warnings - if you are looking for queer, fantsy or SF books I wholeheartedly recommend that you check books by Shtriga Books. It's a small publishing house that sells their books on several major websites, including Amazon, and almost all of their books are in English There are many wonderful authors whose works still haven't been translated, but I hope they will be some day. Also, if you're looking mor Ex-Yugoslavia recs, definitely check @danchireads and @a_literary_snob on Instagram. They annually host #exyulit readathon, and have a bunch of wonderful books on their lists!
The amount of fellow Croatian people in the comments is so heartwarming. I can't believe you and Dakota were actually here... if you ever plan on coming back, maybe visit Zagreb? :)
I'm Croatian and we have amazing authors. From ones that I know that are translated I recommend Ivica Prtenjača, Slavenka Drakulić, Kristian Novak also Ivana's novels. Also, there's Lana Bastašić and Lejla Kalamujić who are Bosnian and also great!
@@leamaltar2.e840 definitivno črna mati zemla (ima i prijevod na engleski)! Ne čitam bas hrvatske autore ali ta me knjiga oduševila! I čula sam samo pohvale za Ciganin, ali najljepši tako da mi je i ta na tbr☺️

Not technically a Croatian author, but "Chasing a Croatian girl" is a great primer on Croatians and Croatian culture, written by an American who married a Croatian and lives here. It's hilariously accurate ❤️
Jack! I am from Dubrovnik so thank you for reminding me of its beauty that I sometimes seem to forget. I hope you’ll review the fiction books you bought and maybe try reading some of our classics as they are amazing (Krleža and Tin Ujević)💖🥰
I'm from Croatia and this has made me so happy. Thank you for coming hope you visit Croatia again also I will take this as a sign to read more Croatian authors and to enquire what has been translated into English, once again thank you! 🇭🇷 Love from Croatia ❣️🥰
I’m Bosnian-Croat born in America. It’s so cool seeing one of my favorite RUclipsrs enjoying the beauty that is Croatia. I’ve also been to Dubrovnik, gorgeous.
my favorite youtuber + my country yeah this is the best video on youtube and also jack i'd highly recommend bridge on the river drina, by one of yugoslavia's best writers the late ivo andrić. it's kinda like one hundred years of solitude, but honestly the characters and their stories that span over centuries are much more interesting and deeper. it gives a great outlook on our people's mentality and immigration issues, how everything changes yet still stays the same, just like the historical bridge. might be hard to get into first couple of pages but it quickly picks up the pace
these seem to be some some great finds! i live in the balkans and i must say it’s quite difficult to find unique or a large selection of english books so that’s a great bookshop
I'm Croatian-American and almost all my family lives in Croatia. I haven't been able to visit since pre-COVID times, so being able to see it even in vlog form was so nice. :) Shamefully, I haven't read any Croatian books (despite it being my first language), so I'm definitely going to add some of these to my TBR.
this was so cool! i read croatian literature sometimes, mostly older authors and some i really like are Slavko Kolar, Janko Matko, Jelena Hrvoj (when you're in a spooky mood) and Tisja Kljaković Braić. another author although bosnian, but i feel like you would love Miljenko Jergović. nek ti je sa srećom! (good luck 💓)
My whole family is from both Croatia and Bosnia. My whole childhood was going there every summer and visiting family. I definitely suggest visiting either Makarska or Korčula the next time you go because its just so gorgeous and beautiful
I'm so happy Croatian literature might possibly gain some more exposure through your channel!! I live in Canada, and we're so exposed to North American authors and western European authors, but never from eastern Europe which perpetuates some problematic commentary (at least in the schools, and area I live in). So thank you!!!!
This is everything ❤️ I love when people I watch visit my country. So cool. I don't read much in my own language, our famous poetry is great tho, but the one thing most writers here are bad at are English translations. We just don't have enough words to describe things lol
It is always so good to see how dedicated you are towards translated books! And it is also nice to see that you are not satisfied with the popular works of bigger countries, you also get your taste from the tiniest corners of the world too!
i'm currently in copenhagen and i'm reading tove ditlevsen's copenhagen trilogy all around the city and it's elevated the trip soooo wonderfully!!! i've been looking for books by local authors too but books are expensive as hell here so nvm but i definitely plan to do that on future trips too! the best way to get to know a place is to see it through your own and somebody else's eyes at the same time ❤
so glad you visited Dubrovnik! i was there a few weeks ago and also bought a book in algebra. read the wild woman a few years ago and loved it, glad you picked it up :)
Hiii, I'm from Croatia, it was so fun watching this video especially because I visit Dubrovnik every summer :) And also, I will definitely be checking these books out!! hope you had fun in our beautiful country and that you'll visit the rest of it 🤍
I was just 2-3 hours away on a holiday where you were, so bummed that didn't have the opportunity to meet you :( Greetings from Ukraine! I was reading the song of Achilles because of your recommendation
I love doing this! It's been my goal since 2020 to read more books not set in the US, and to personally focus on Australian YA and adult books. My reading has benefited immensely from it! Also, small plug to please read some Aussie books you can order them online, we've got a lot down here but no one knows
So weird to see you in my city, the video reminded me tho how much we take stuff we're use to for granted when you started saying how beautiful everything is lol I personally dont really read our authors but Im glad you had a good time!
It's a shame that we don't have more books translated in english, croatian language is so rich! 👋 from Croatia! I recommend Slavenka Drakulić and Marina Vujčić for sure.
Whenever I go to some country, I try to find books by its most famous authors. It helps to immerse myself in the local culture. I’ve been to Croatia many times, and on top of my Croatian list is Ivo Andric, a writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961. You should check out his Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina).
Jack!! You are in my favourite city. I live there part-time (via slow travel and constant revisits, haha). I love Algebra too (only the bookstore, lol)! Thanks very much for the big list of book recommendations. I want to read all of these! Hvala and enjoy Croatia. :)
Croatia STUNNING country Jack love your vlogs so much for everything and hard work you are so sweet and amazing inspiring so special unique inspiring unbelievable and most amazing person 🧡
Also, Jack, one book from the Balkans that you should definitely read is East Diwan by Dzevad Karahasan. My English professor said its the best crime novel he has ever read and I could not agree more so I really hope you see this comment. Greetings from Bosnia😁
Jack, you should read Island of the World by Michael D. O'Brien! It is set during the political unrest of the '40's in Croatia; one of my faves! Also, you look great! The tan suits you!
I’m probably not the first one telling you this, but you HAVE to watch (/read) Game of Thrones! It’s 100% worth the hype, and the dialogues are among the best I’ve ever seen / read. Especially now, that you like Dubrovnik so much, you’ll definitely like the setting!
funfact: 3 weeks ago I wanted to take a flight to Athens... however, I missed my connecting flight and had to take another one with a stop in Dubrovnik 😭
Hey Jack, considering you travel so much, how do you get over a fear of not being able to speak the language and being seen as a tourist? Travelling to different countries scares me a bit and I feel bad if I don’t know the language at all!!
Random question: how commonly was English spoken in Croatia? Did you learn any phrases before you went? I’m going next year and trying to get prepared!!
i live here and 90% of us will at least understand basic english but most people know a lot because of school and the internet so don’t worry about speaking it here
Jack has now read more books by Croatian authors than I have in the last 5 years and I live here 🙈
It's so cool to see everyone from the Balkans hyped because Jack and Dakota were in Montenegro and Croatia. Hope you'll get to visit Bosnia some day as well :) This part of Europe is truly underrated.
we'll be back !!!!!!
I wanna go there so baddd (I'm Portuguese)
And I hope he will buy Meša Selimović books next time when he visits Balkans....Also Ivo Andrić, who won Nobel Prize
This should be a whole new series section - Jack reads Europe! And every episode could be dedicated to a different country and its authors and books - German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish, Italian, etc.

Please add Milorad Pavic, Miljenko Jergovic and Nedzad Ibrisimovic to your list. Also Kerim Zaimovic short story collection is quite interesting... Especially when you learn what happened to him.
I'm not sure if Pekic's works are even all translated to English but God I love that man
the lack of slovenian authors in this comment is painful ... we might have left yugoslavia first but it is still part of our history :)
Yes please, I really want to know what he thinks of Andrić 😭😭😭❤️
I actually met Ivana Bodrožić, she was my mentor on a creative writing workshop, she's given me some really useful tips and helped me improve my writing and get more comfortable with writing prose :)
Also, In a Sentimental Mood is actually inspired by, and dedicated to, jazz music, which I found so cool!
Wild Woman’s description made me laugh a bit. I can’t speak to other Croatian moms but mine constantly praises her friends who had “stuck to their marriage” despite infidelity as if it’s some powerful thing to put up with men cheating until they get too old to fk around. Drives me crazy to hear it.
Funny how he said "shamefully haven't watched GOT" right at the place where Cersei had her walk of shame 😂
I suppose that by booktube standards this vlog is already quite old, BUT in case anyone in the comment section is interested in reading more Croatian literature, here are some of my go-to recommendations:
- How We Broke Our Legs by Miro Gavran: a coming of age novel, Gavran is one of the most popular and most awarded contemporary Croatian authors
- You Wih Hands More Innocent by Vesna Parun: a poetry collection, Vesna Parun is the most famous female poet in history of Croatian literature
- Ministry of Pain & Fox by Dubravka Ugrešić: these are semi-autobiographical (but not really).

- The Stars Among Us by Sanja S. Jungic: this is a fun, quick romance novel set in Dubrovnik
- House of Durga by Jelena Hrvoj: psychollogical thriller, definitely check for trigger warnings
- if you are looking for queer, fantsy or SF books I wholeheartedly recommend that you check books by Shtriga Books. It's a small publishing house that sells their books on several major websites, including Amazon, and almost all of their books are in English

Zagreb sucks.
This is such a surprise, I would never expect you coming anywhere near the Balkans! This video made me so happy! Thank you so much Jack!
I'm Croatian and we have amazing authors. From ones that I know that are translated I recommend Ivica Prtenjača, Slavenka Drakulić, Kristian Novak also Ivana's novels. Also, there's Lana Bastašić and Lejla Kalamujić who are Bosnian and also great!
Jack you HAVE to read something by Kristian Novak! He’s one of the most popular authors of modern croatian literature you’ll love him!
kaj bi ti preporučila?

i feel like our classics wouldnt be really captured in translation to english 💔💔
Oh cool! Jack in my home country.
bro dosl vristim
sanjam da dođe u Beograd😂
So cool
Sidenote, hearing Jack struggle trying to pronounce Croatian names was kinda funny not gonna lie
''YouWillNeverKnow''. What did you expect? He's an English native speaker. For sure, he did mispronounce the words in the Croatian language.
he has SHAMEfully never seen GOT he says while standing at the top of the shame steps.
I'm from Croatia and this has made me so happy. Thank you for coming hope you visit Croatia again also I will take this as a sign to read more Croatian authors and to enquire what has been translated into English, once again thank you! 🇭🇷 Love from Croatia ❣️🥰
I can't believe my favorite RUclipsr visited AND bought books by local authors in a country I live in! My day just got ten times better!
I’m Bosnian-Croat born in America. It’s so cool seeing one of my favorite RUclipsrs enjoying the beauty that is Croatia. I’ve also been to Dubrovnik, gorgeous.
my favorite youtuber + my country
yeah this is the best video on youtube
and also jack i'd highly recommend bridge on the river drina, by one of yugoslavia's best writers the late ivo andrić. it's kinda like one hundred years of solitude, but honestly the characters and their stories that span over centuries are much more interesting and deeper. it gives a great outlook on our people's mentality and immigration issues, how everything changes yet still stays the same, just like the historical bridge. might be hard to get into first couple of pages but it quickly picks up the pace

Ahhh you're in my country!!!
This is beautiful. We're so hooked onto mainstream travel locations that we totally overlook other beautiful places. ❤️
aaa this is so cool to see! i went to dubrovnik as well a few years ago and it was so cool seeing you go to the same places i went!
This is everything ❤️ I love when people I watch visit my country. So cool. I don't read much in my own language, our famous poetry is great tho, but the one thing most writers here are bad at are English translations. We just don't have enough words to describe things lol

I was in Dubrovnik a month ago and absolutely loved it, such a beautiful city
So glad you enjoyed your time in Dubrovnik, and such a fun idea to reed Croatian poems, maybe I should do more of that..
so glad you visited Dubrovnik! i was there a few weeks ago and also bought a book in algebra. read the wild woman a few years ago and loved it, glad you picked it up :)
Those blurbs sound pretty good but can I hear a little commotion for those COVERS? Gorgeous
I was lucky enough to live in Dubrovnik for six months during my uni exchange, and watching this feels just made me feel so nostalgic! ❤
"i have shamefully never watched game of thrones" i saw what you did there🤭
I doubt he would know that reference hahah
i haven't seen it either, so yes it was "lost" on the non-watchers💕
Hiii, I'm from Croatia, it was so fun watching this video especially because I visit Dubrovnik every summer :) And also, I will definitely be checking these books out!! hope you had fun in our beautiful country and that you'll visit the rest of it 🤍

I was just 2-3 hours away on a holiday where you were, so bummed that didn't have the opportunity to meet you :(

oohh I had to double-check the title cause I couldn't believe what I saw!! awesome that you're here and i hope you love the books!
I cant believe you were in my country😍
same here!
this video was so fun ! I actually waved bye to you at the end .
So weird to see you in my city, the video reminded me tho how much we take stuff we're use to for granted when you started saying how beautiful everything is lol
I personally dont really read our authors but Im glad you had a good time!
I've just been to Dubrovnik last month! Glad you seemed to enjoy it as well, it's gorgeous
This is perfect, today was my first day at my new job and now I can relax with some good bookish content!
What a lovely atmosphere! You can never guess the next video, from now on I will pray to the god of Jack's creativity to come up with a new idea.
Ajmoo
Oh my gosh I love Croatia!! It’s exciting to see you there :D
It's a shame that we don't have more books translated in english, croatian language is so rich! 👋 from Croatia! I recommend Slavenka Drakulić and Marina Vujčić for sure.
reading and traveling ... oh wow! :) luv it!
I recently read 'The palace of Dreams', an Albanian book that reminded me a lot of Orwell and Kafka, so I think you might enjoy it as well :)
As one of yours Croatian fan, I am sooo glad that you are interested in Croatian literature, it can be quite underated.
I’ve never been to Croatia so I’m living vicariously through Jack.
petition for jack to go along the whole croatian coast (come to sibenik plzL

funfact: 3 weeks ago I wanted to take a flight to Athens... however, I missed my connecting flight and had to take another one with a stop in Dubrovnik 😭
What does it say on your TShirt?
Hey Jack, considering you travel so much, how do you get over a fear of not being able to speak the language and being seen as a tourist? Travelling to different countries scares me a bit and I feel bad if I don’t know the language at all!!
And then there's me, born Croatian, living here for 19 years, actively avoiding all Croatian literature if I can help it lol
To su lektire krive... 😊
@@lalitalalita1985 slažem se iskreno haha samo što onda nepovratno iščupaju volju za čitanje hrvatske literature 😅
Okay as a croatian this video notification took me off guard lol
JACK I HAVE THE BEST VIDEO IDEA! PLEASE READ A BOOK FROM BACK TO FRONT!!!!

06:50 Does anyone know which song is this? I can't find it through the lyrics and it sounds so good
Random question: how commonly was English spoken in Croatia? Did you learn any phrases before you went? I’m going next year and trying to get prepared!!
i live here and 90% of us will at least understand basic english but most people know a lot because of school and the internet so don’t worry about speaking it here
