Could analyze the 'men written by woman' and the 'women written by men' trope in books? It would be so awesome to hear you speaking on authors' unrealistic (and sometimes even sexist) expectations of the opposite gender.

“As I pulled to Tokyo station, I turned the final page”- this is pure poetry and could and a great book opening line- Happy New Year

Bro expects me to read 11 books in a day and a half???

My wife and I should have left for a New Years’ trip 90 minutes ago, but she is predictably not ready. Thanks for letting me pass the time while she gets ready. And thanks for all the videos throughout the year. Happy New Year to Jack and his book community!

I just recently got Emma and I'm so excited to start reading. I only got it because I've heard such good things and this channel has expanded my literary horizons so much. So, just thank you

[shruteeh]

You should definitely try some NEW authors this year...
1. The kite runner
2. The thousand splendid suns
3. Malgudi days
4. Mahabharata unravelled
5. The pearl that broke it's shell
6. The palace of illusions
Love from India ❤

i just love the way Jack describes the books

[karismithasasidran]

Alone With You In The Ether is my all time fav book!!! And seeing that Jack analyzing a beautiful book, in a beautiful way is such a blessing!

[pickyourpopculturepoison]

I love that you talk about books that aren’t the same ten I always see!

I absolutely LOVED ‚Almond‘. I flew through this book and loved it so much, it actually surprised me because it’s not what I normally read. But it out me on a new literary path. I cried and laughed so much.

[NovelFindsByKassi]

I also read Almond this year and was blown away by it. Thanks for doing what you do!

[abbie]

i’ve been lucky enough to read sula in two different classes and truly every time i read it i get so much more from it, genuinely the best book i have ever read

[emilysaunders]

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke was the first book I read in 2023, and it was also my favorite! Highly recommend to anyone who likes dark academia with fantasy elements! It's also a pretty quick read

[AC-dzyq]

JACK I read 100 books this year because of you

[karatx]

Jack, you NEED to read “Betty” by Tiffany McDaniel. It is HEARTBREAKING, gut wrenching and is a masterpiece! It’s about this girl Betty who is telling the story of her family who are of Cherokee Heritage. It deals with some really hard topics so TW but it is amazing. It is also based off of the authors mother, it’s a true story which makes it even more devastating. It’s A little life level of sad. LOVE YOU

[adityakadam]

I really loved the book Foster by Claire Keegan. So really looking forward to reading Small Things Like these.
