2024 challenge suggestion: reading one book from every country you haven’t read a book from yet. You had a poll about video ideas I believe a year ago and I’d actually really love to see something like this. Only if you want to of course!

as a translator, i LOVE how Jack mentions the translators of the books he buys :') love seeing people in my field getting a shoutout.

Jack is the Ken of book world
"My job is just book"

[anjalisudarsan]

I love the 'disclaimer' Jack shared in the beginning about buying so many books and doing book hauls

[mayasworte]

Thank you Jack for saying that this form of consumerism isn't normal and that you only buy this many because its your job❤ people don't have to buy like 30 books every month!! I feel like social media is telling them to, its all about more and more and more nowadays :/

[Ronnie]

I love that you don’t go over the trending book tok books. You go over so many genres and that makes me happy

I’m in a major depression right now and reading helps me a lot to escape my mood. I love how you talk about books. And your happiness makes my day better. Thank you!

[noniesrose]

As a non native english speaker I'm glad to see you read and appreciate translated/world literature a lot. Doing my first master degree in world lit is one of my favourite things I've done! I made a read the world challenge for myself and made it public on storygraph, I particularly love reading world poetry

[maluaguiarv]

as a brazilian follower i feel so happy and embraced when Jack reads brazilian books/authors and shows appreciation and admiration for them! you should make a video reading goodies from each country ;) love ya

[ilse]

I really love going to thriftstores to pick up books! I find that buying new ones each time is so expensive, and my local thriftstore has some nice books and theyre only 1 euro each! Also is much more sustainable and there's something so beautiful about preloved books :))

36:15 As someone who lived abroad for years and then had that isolating experience of coming back home and not being able to relate to anyone or see anything the same way anymore, I am also so fascinated by this phenomenon and love when it pops up in books and I can feel more understood. A few of my favorite book quotes come to mind...
"A town always looked different once you'd returned, like a house where all the furniture had shifted three inches. You wouldn't mistake it for a stranger's house but you'd keeping banging your shins on the table corners." - The Vanishing Half
“You don’t have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back.” - Giovanni's Room

I'm already in love with Jack but when I saw him showing Clarice Lispector I was even more in love! I'm Brazilian and I'm so happy to see one of our best authors exploring new horizons

[Rainylia]

White Nights by Dostoevsky is one of those book I read once and never stop thinking about. I get so excited whenever I see it somewhere

[acrynellys]

1. Weeks ago I actually found a collection of Dostoevsky's short works in a Little Free Library. When I saw all your coverage of White Nights, I checked the collection and it's in there! I've added it to my February TBR and am very excited 😁 Thank you for the inspiration!

2. PROPHET. YES. WOW I LOVED THAT BOOK. You mentioned scifi and thriller, but importantly, this book is also ROMANTIC AF ❤️‍🔥

[mohammedarmanulhaq]

Your videos consistently take the lead in fueling my TBR with thrilling and captivating reads!

[mayrobinson]

obsessedddd with Anne Carson, her translations are my favourite!! different translations of ancient texts are so cool, two different translators can give you completely different perspectives of the same text

[el_writes]

I love what you said about reading mostly poetry whilst going deep into writing your novel. I think I'm going to try that this year as I find my brain gets so distracted and oversaturated when I'm reading too much and it prevents me from writing, but poems are definitely on the lighter and more nourishing side of that spectrum 🥰

[lit.sleaze]

New Millenium Boyz is my comfort read for 2023. It’s erratic, sensual, and out of this world.

Can’t wait for you to read it! Literally nothing like it!!!

[valitianime]

My fav TV show is on, don't bother please
