"You went out clubbing until 3am and the next morning at 9am you're in a lecture about socratic dialogue" This is the definition of Univeristy. It's a universal experience.

Jack i've got a video idea for you: "can i guess the book title based on their 1star/ 5 star reviews?"

I think defoe being first thing u read isn't only for chronological purposes but to also double check you if you're sure you actually want this

It's crazy how nobody is talking about a book Health and Beauty Mastery.

The thing about Bleak House is that when read gradually over the course of a wintery 3 months it’s a bloody great time

I’m so happy someone else recognises the difference between interesting to read vs interesting to study

As a historian, I admire and understand how important Plato is. As a person, I would do ANYTHING to fight Plato in a parking lot.

Not Jack releasing a video about how many times he almost dropped out just hours after I get readmitted to university for literature after dropping out 2 years ago

I'm also an English lit student. We had Moll Flanders in 4th sem and I'm telling you, that book soaked all the blood out of me. I couldn't finish it and ended up watching summary videos on YouTube for the final exam. However the story was good though ngl.

I double majored in English and German literature and let me tell you, the number of times I wanted to drop out, especially in the beginning when I had to learn Old English and Middle High German, was HIGH. The sheer amount of required reading sucked any enjoyment for literature out of me and it took me years to start reading books for fun again. Glad I made it back, and your suggestions and enthusiasm for books played a huge role in the process!

I swear you come up with the BEST book/reading related content. Bookworms thrive because of your contents.

I wrote a A+ essay on The Heart of Darkness without reading the entire thing. One of my proudest uni moments. My mythology class was on Wednesday morning, 8 am.

[jackthemlits]

the title is so real and im not even an English/Literature major student 😭

[Natrosca]

watching this 2 days before starting my literature degree. big motivation

[aliebellule]

I didn’t drop out but I stopped reading for almost a year after my degree because it drained the enjoyment out of my reading life.

[catthatlikesbread]

And the Oscar for best video title on YouTube goes tooo…

[romythalia]

The fact you can remember all of your thoughts from your first year when I can barely remember the books I read in my third year when I only graduated last week is WORRYING

[eritoinfinity]

I took on online class and had to read every Plato and Aristotle text and script….it was alarming to learn that after dissecting it, they were just saying every other idea i’ve ever had in my life. No original thoughts here. I wrote the best essays on the due date around 10-11pm (due at 11:59 pm) basically just being like “twinnn i literally had this SAME IDEA”
