Ok Harry Styles of literature, loving the trousers

A rug! The room needs a rug, will help with the sound and pull everything together. And yes with rugs. Size matters. Go bigger. I love how everything turned out. Great shelves.

you know what’s missing from this room? a cha--oH MY GOD

You absolutely need to get the extra height extenders. You did all the work to build these and it will be worth it! I have them and they give me such intense joy. Also PLEASE connect them to the wall!

favourite quotes that i definitely screencapped and sent as memes:
1. I fear I'm actually quite stupid, or I just wasn't really paying attention
2. I'm surviving on a good playlist, a punnet of grapes, and good faith
3. I am a fool and it was not foolproof

[Darkbillhook]

I’m always watching people organise their books rather than organising my own 😅

[MSigs]

The doors add so much character to this please leave it as is!

[obsessivestargazer]

i personally love the door shelf in between, feels like a secret door to reach like narnia and get into the magical world of reading
especially since there a books on top as well, it looks so good!

[BigioBio]

Jack, just so you know... I installed two extensions on top of each other, on top of each module of my Billy bookcase... you're supposed to install just one... but, you know... with proper fastening... I guess you can fit three more levels up there... LOL

Also, keep the doors. Your library looks adorable, and you can keep more precious editions in there...

the glee intro is ICONIC. I beg for a fondue for two section on the next video 🙏

[suparba_reads]

2:29 This was my first video of you and the moment you said and i quote “i am genuinely concerned that my first born child will enter the earth and i wont look at it with the same level of pride and joy that i do when i look at these bookshelves” i was immediately sold

[prishakhosla]

there's something so comforting listening to jack yap about books

[SuperDoctor]

The Glee intro, the frantic energy, the chair, the hair! Everyone's mentioned the hair but the hair! Love it, love it all!

[Jamsio]

8:32 Not Jack stopping to read a book. Iconic.

side note—because I noticed that you own the wordsworth classics version of the count of monte cristo—as a translator myself, I would strongly urge you to prefer the Robin Buss translation (penguin edition) for this one, because he really does a beyond amazing job and the difference is HUGE. the other english publications of that novel use the unknown translators’ versions of the time that the novel was first being translated and they are significantly harder to read and comprehend, which takes away from the story. that’s it, just something to consider 😊 (i guess i’m very passionate about my profession lol)

[mothling.]

those shelves are beautiful but as a bookseller who shelves books all the time i was just watching and crying bc i cannot imagine how you can add more to those shelves, you need your own personal overstock backroom at this rate - i love it

[sk.redstark]

first time being on your channel and it warmed my heart -as a middle eastern mostly- when i heard u say u have a collection of Palestinian books, i rarely see book content creators who even mention those/us 🖤

[cookiejar.mp]

watching for the chair drama... will keep you posted

edit: WE GOT THE CHAIR 🗣️🗣️

[sarahfrith]

So much to process and adjust to, the hair, the outfit, the new room, new shelves…..a whole new jack!

[OkayyJo]

Just a comment to appreciate the quality of the editing on this one, beautiful
