thanks very much for watching, don't forget to subscribe, and give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed!!
This concept reminded me of one of my high school English teachers. She wanted to be familiar with the books that her students were interested in outside of class so she would keep track of what books we were reading in the few minutes before the bell rang and class started. Her rule for herself was that as soon as she had seen the same book being read by at least two students, she had to read it.
“one thing about me is i am always falling in love with strangers on the train” relatable.
Very inspiring for girlies who are always secretly aiming to look mysterious and interesting while reading on the subway
I've never been this early I just wanna say I picked up reading books again this year only because of you and finished 40 books in three months. You made a difference in my life when I was at my lowest. Thank you 💖
As a bi woman myself, in defense of bell hooks, I think it's okay for a lot of feminist analysis to be heteronormative when it's specifically analysing the ways in which men and women relate to each other in relationships. People dating people of the same gender are going to have different experiences that require their own nuanced analysis, but it's okay to analyse specifically how patriarchy within het dating affects people considering that's most of the population.
okay i kind of respectfully disagree about the bell hooks. i’ve read both all about love and communion multiple times, and i think communion does more to extend beyond a gender binary and heterosexual love. although her lesbian chapter is not the strongest i don’t completely agree with you :(
not even 2 minutes in and this video is a classic already
Why the NATO hat? Otherwise good selection of books.
When I lived in Japan, I loved that book stores give all purchased books a paper cover to protect the book as well as for privacy for reading in public
I read all about love over 20 years ago. As a cishet woman it seemed pretty radical to me back then. Things have changed SO much. The way as a society we talk about gender and sexuality and relationships is extraordinarily different than it was when this book was released in 1999 (for the better!)
Few video ideas:
The NYC subway certainly has a lot of surprises. The books people carry along with them are all distinct.
It’s funny that Jack is a Londoner now living in New York, because I’m in New Yorker now living in London who used to make an entire notes section of books I would see on the subway.
“And someone knew I was weak and targeted me…” 😂😂😂 So relatable for any non-New Yorker taking the subway for the first time/first time in a while.
One day I pray to be the person reading a book that inspires him lmao
I wonder if any of the subway readers also hated the book after they finished it.
“There’s more dragging here than an episode of RuPaul” JACK YOU’RE KILLING US 😂😂
I felt sad when I saw that I only read 36 books this year because I thought they might be more, but given that I already read books over 500 pages and the fact that I read a lot of books outside my comfort zone and that it was the first time I tried reading English books and I have read four and now I'm reading the Fifth, and most importantly of all, this year i finished my first year high school And I finished a third of the second year. This means that I have done a lot this year and I am proud of myself.
jack is really living the main character life
I'm back to reading like I used to before I started working all thanks to you. A 3 year reading slump was overcome and this channel is an important inspiration here. Love what you're doing!
