this is how the hollywood heartthrobs should be judged
Amen
The only way
@kimevans4656 I bet a lot of them don't really read the books.
â@@tiararoxeanne1318some, no doubt, but in my experience actors are generally pretty keen readers.
i so agree with so many guys not reading books by women it's ridiculous. in the words of paris geller: "typical guy, worship kerouac and bukowski, god forbid he picks up jane austen"
Which episode is thiss
@@abreeze579 the one where she and jess visit rory to eat together
Theres the rub, season 2 episode 16
I don't read for the authors, I read for the story. So don't think it matters if it was written by a man or a woman, if it's a genre you like, read it. Reading something written by a woman or a man for the sake of it, is completely pointless.
@@yaeli_i_guess So? Why do they have to read female authors? People read what they like, maybe some aren't interested in reading books from female authors, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's a personal choice.
Oh wow, Pedro Pascal's book recommendations are GOLDEN. One Hundred Years of Solitude? Master and Margarita? Crime and Punishment? This man has taste
And the Magic Mountain;)
You call Crime and Punishment a TASTE? babe đ€Šââïž
he honestly had the most interesting recommendations
@@user-lz3fs6vt6f You dislike it because you think it's not great piece of literature or because it's a Russian book?
@@mllenessmarie because I've read it myself
When reading Tender is the Flesh, I really had to remind myself that this book is based in Argentina. Where meat is a huge part of culture and economy so once you place it in that context you can understand why veganism wasn't even a consideration. But still a wild quick read.
This is insightful. Thank you for mentioning that!
I think people in the Western world need to remember that veganism isnât accessible in all countries/regions lol in the Philippines, meat and farm animals are also a huge part of life (we have meat in our vegetable dishes) and culture so the transition to cannibalism over veganism in the book made huge sense
Veganism wasn't even a consideration because the book is not about dietary choices, but a comment on capitalism, alienation of the worker class and body autonomy.
As an argentinian, I feel like 75% of the reviews of this book miss this point and its sort of eurocentric. The unhingedness is an excuse to expose the (at least, argentinian) meat industry and human capability to harm and alienate. In a country with a recent history of dictatorship and genocide this work makes a whole new sense.
The problem is that it's sold with the cannibalism plot but that's not the actual point.
Also, the english translation is not as good as the actual writing.
The explanation the premise was the weakest part of the book. In general, I liked the gory descriptions, the arc of the main character, and the ending.
Jack: âI woke up and chose violence.â
Malala: âI only talk about peace.â
Me, an Intellectual: (relates to both)
Me: I only talk about violence
me: is too scared to talk and just stays silent and smiles and nods lmao
@@marcusmakesvideos22 Haha I love it when you speak so you have nothing to fear.
Pokhraj Roy I love your comments
I just smile and wave but hours later come up with the best sassy comebacks đ
Chris Evans seems actually quite humble about to his spiritual, deep thinking tendencies, never forces it on anyone. It just helps with his anxiety. Which is what I, a rotten cynic, gotta respect.
Yeah it kinda seems like jack just hates thinking when he said that lol
The Secret History should be a 6 episode mini series with just ONE season and actually honor that because I need the layers~ I'm also crying at how shady this is.
Mini series for sure and with - now that I've seen this video - Elordi as Henry đ€
@@8ballstreet Elordi as Henry would be so perfect omg
@@hawaiikawaii7198 ikr?! You can't unsee it once you see it. His height, hair color, and tall handsomeness are there, and so is the darkness, psychological depth, and cold intellectualim, which he portrays so well. Now we just need Fez as Rayburn and Kat as Judy and we are on our way!
part of me thinks he would be perfect for this role, but another part of me never saw Henry THIS well built :') I pictured Aaron Taylor Johnson while reading the book personally, but usually I don't pay much attention to the physical description cause once I pictured them, I can't get it out of my mind x))
I pray that guy is never cast as Henry. It would ruin the book for me, hate his acting.
Literature taste should be an official category at oscars, it'd actually be interesting to watch it then
agreed
Yes!
And they should be able to answer something about the books, otherwise theyâre def going to lie
you should do one of these for Henry Cavill sometimes, his taste in books (all sci-fi/fantasy) is so unique compared to most actors.
Heâs a Brandon Sanderson fan â€â€â€
He's dropping bombs back to back and I'm here for it.
Jack is truly THE INTERNET BOOK BOYFRIEND
Jacob Elordiâs Elvis movie is not another Elvis biopic. Itâs about Priscilla (and the movie is called âPriscillaâ). Priscilla Presley is also going to be a producer on the film. I think itâs important that her story is being told, regardless of the fact that there was an Elvis movie just last year :)

Quote of the Day: âWeâre judging every book everywhere all at once.â
Also, you really should watch Kristen in Spencer, she was was incredible in it and even Princess Diana's former chef said her performance was by far the most accurate portrayal
Donna Tartt actually refuses any more adaptations of her work after the disastrous Golden Finch adaptation which she despised so unless there is a major change of heart from Tartt giving the go ahead, don't hold your breath for an adaptation any time soon.
2:18. Heâs missing out. Kristen Stewart in Spencer (Princess Diana movie) was so good. Different form what Emma Corrin did in the Crown but still very good
Please make a part 2 of this but with musicians!!! Like Harry Styles, Taylor Swift etc.
He's already done them in individual videos
I see the âignoring veganismâ in Tender is the Flesh as commentary on what we currently do. We inflict pain and suffering on billions of animals instead of going vegan. Basically impulse over morals.
True!
100% agreed
You're not morally superior just because you only eat vegetables and you're part of the reason why vegans have a horrible reputation for being judgemental (when a lot of them really aren't). Ecosystem needs beings that eat meat, just look at what happened to the Yellowstone wolves.
What humans should have done is not take so much of other organisms' habitat without care and if consuming another animal is done, utilize as much part and not just what is commercially wanted.
Not really, meat just tastes good and people prefer it to plant based products. It has nothing to do with morals.
@@dawnriddler ...which is exactly impulse over morals. lmfao.
I know it's an old book, but I kind of wish you didn't mention how When Breath Becomes Air ends, because the abrupt transition from his voice to another was so perfectly analogous to how it will be for us all one day - caught midsentence. I had no idea that was going to happen when I was reading this in public and I just started bawling. A book whose execution is greater than all the writings within and it catching my off-guard was the perfect way to experience it.
You should also do like older actors! Helen mirren, Meryl streep, Pierce brosnan,Judi dench types? would interesting to see their recs.
Actually Kristen Stewart literally had the best performance of that year as Princess Diana in Spencer
yup!!!
yeah jack was so wrong for that haha
Facts!
i haven't seen it! i mean more that we get fatigue from seeing multiple people playing the same role in quick succession!
yep, I read an interview where even the staff who worked with Lady Di before said Kristen's portrayal was the closest to how Diana was in real life. she was even nominated for an Oscar for that performance.
You should definitely review books read by Hozier !!!! đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ» his lyrics are beautiful and you can definitely tell heâs well read
House of Leaves is incredible and definitely worth the time. The format looks complex, but I found it be straight forward to follow and purposefully done so it really enhances the experience of reading the stories. The narrative alone is great, but the structure really pushes the boundary of what a book can be and I was blown away by it.
I saw Rob Pattinson in the thumbnail, so I clicked. You should totally do a video on him, he talks about books relatively often!! Also, you're so right about him and how he says the most random stuff in interviews. He's mentioned in the past how he just makes up stories sometimes hahaha.
i need to know how many of these celebrities have actually read the books they recommend
Or who recommend the ONLY books they've ever read (mostly in high school english)
Chris Pine and Sebastian Stan genuinely are readers.
I don't know about everyone but Sebastian is an avid reader. he's said he reads every day and buys a lot of books, he's always seen with books
In my opinion Tender is the flesh is very intelligent. Itâs a dystopian universe but it does play out based on the fact that the meat maket is one of the biggest incomes of Argentina and thereâs a big culture around food that contains cow. Being vegetarian and Argentinian I can say it does have grounds. (not saying we would eat eachother but I did found it really brilliant)
"I ve never read a book by a woman ever" veronica roth's carve the mark is literally theređ
right?? i was so confused lmao
@@flovita and he didn't even adress it along with the othersđ„Ž
Ikr, it bothers me so much how quickly he jumped to that conclusion Dx
Carve the Mark is one of my favorite book series and it made me so frustrated that he didn't even acknowledge it!
I can't believe Austin recommended Carve the Mark!!! That book was my all time favorite all through middle and high school! (Way better than Divergent btw đ) I wasn't expecting to see that on anyone's list lol
He narrated the Carve the Mark audiobook and the sequel way back in 2016-17. His voice is delicious then too. Written by a woman btw.
@@lauramyers2276 omg, that was before I started listening to audiobooks and I had no idea!
i think watching this video gave me a new perception of celebrities like i have an image of them in my mind how they must be irl but now i see that their book recs tell me how they see their life as, what they prioritize more and how they perceive things, and ngl that's very interesting.
I just finished reading Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn. I chose it during a "judge a book by its cover" challenge, but it is easily the best book I've read so far this year. It is raw, real, and bittersweet in the best way! I recommend reading Almond with a dark roast coffee and while surrounded by old books.
I got recommended a video from you 3 hours ago and I've been binging your whole channel ever since. your energy is priceless I swearđâšïž
Iâm waiting for Jack to read recommendations from Non-Hollywood Actorsâ English book recommendations.
This was so much fun! Explains a lot about some of these actors; gives a new perspective
As someone who's studying screenwriting and cinema I feel obligated to accept your challenge to bring justice to 'A Secret History'.
I'll only do so though if I can get Donna Tart to make a cameo and Danny Devito to be a professor.
pls can you do a vid on hozier?? he has so many literary references in his work, particularly heaney and other irish poets- his new ep references 'a modest proposal' and i just know there's more to come on his new album!
So happy to see House of Leaves finally mentioned! It's an incredible book!
Are we going to ignore the fact that Austin Butler had Carve The Mark by Veronica Roth there and Jack was saying he needed to read women authors and didnât even bring it up when talking about his recommendations
I just purchased The Magic Mountain because Pedro recommended it and I trust his reading tastes as some of his favourites are mine too. Canât wait for the video!
Austin taste in books is Amazing , and he reads lots of women author books , poetry , fiction and even animations , the page you showed in insta doesnât describe all of his reads , it doesnât say he reads franz Kafka , Edgar Ellen Poe , all of Raymond carver books , Dostoevsky, Sharon olds poems , lorrie Moore , one of his fav is the grapes of wrath which is an amazing book and he reads politics and so much more , even writes poems and journaling stories and his thoughts for years, he reads every day since he was a teenager
Chris Pine majored in English Lit at Berkeley - and I feel like it shows when you compare his recs with everyone else's ahahah
I'd watch a video on Robert Pattinson's reads any day. I just want to know how that man's mind works
Once again, Jack, youâre unbelievably amazing to watch! I canât get enough!
Love that Pedro Pascal chose "Franny and Zooey" over "Catcher in the Rye." I love two of his picks, so now I feel the need to read the others
for the record (yes I googled it) chris evans has a short essay on his chest as a tattoo.. though the tattoo artist made the font size 5 so it looks like two paragraphs BUT NO JUDGING OF TASTE IN TATTOOS HERE that's another comment for another video
you should do a video of the books that have shaped you personality from when you started reading until now- a book for each era in your life
YOUR THE BEST Jack I appreciate all hard work and devotion and amazing person and so sweet and inspiring â€
I love you for recommending Loveless, OHH MY GODDD, what a brilliant awesome heartwarming, wraps you in a cozy warmth of genuine happiness of love and care book. I loved it and would be recommending it to soo many people. Thank you for that video about Loveless, just finishing it and keep up the good work. Love!â€đ
Your videos are so cozy â€
I wouldnât be so dismissive of âThe Catcher in the Rye,â which I believe to be one of the great American novels. Itâs gotten a bad rap because of some egregious misinterpretations, but it has a lot to say about growing up, and the realization that you canât control other peoples lives.
agree.
but franny and zooey is a whole nother-nother.i love that book with my entire soul
Exactly!
Every time I hear someone called Holden insufferable I have to roll my eyes. Heâs a depressed teen that was sexually abused and whoâs brother died of cancer. Obv heâs not gonna be a happy optimistic character đ
@@555blue we're allowed to call him insufferable lol. he's insufferable for a reason, but that doesn't make him any more tolerable
chris pine confirmed in the esquire interview that harry never spit on him (obviously lol) but they actually were sharing an inside joke
Amazing content as always, Jack!!! â€đ
Actually I did Saturday at uni during my masterâs and I found it very good! It wasnât what I expected at all!
3:03 I have the Secret History on my shelf collecting dust, and this just made me pick it up immediately
I am definitely most interested in Chris Pine's book recommendations!
kristen stewart did an outstanding job in her role as princess Di
jacks relationship with square space gives my life consistency
one hundred years of solitude đ pedro pascal's superior taste is a surprise to no one
"read books by women" Jack says, looking at a celebrity who has a book by a woman on the very recommendation page he is staring at đ
There was 0 Drama at the Oscars Ceremony? The beige carpet/orange curtain thing was horrid, an Oscar winner was given a Happy Birthday cheer, Jimmy Kimmel got a donkey on stage and Malala was made uncomfortable by both the host and Cocaine Bear.
off-topic but I just wanted to thank Jack for reiving my love for literature and books! Your channel feels like such a cozy corner on the Internet, literally my comfort place! Thank you so much for what you are doing
I absolutely agree with your opinion about On The Road. I thought I was the only one. Glad I am not alone! Love your channel!
Jack! about what you said on "no backup plan" about the education system sucking joy out of something you once loved: we're currently watching YOUR yt videos in ENGLISH CLASS
I couldn't believe it at first cuz I've been watching you since years but yeah. The assignement is to write down how you review books and then make a "Booktube" recommendation yourself. I'M PRAYING that this doesn't ruin it for me. I really do.
so excited for the pedro episode!!! cant wait to love the man even more than I already do
WAIT the fact that Austin Bulter loved CARVE THE MARK - literally one of the best ya duologues đ⌠WILD
I think it's there mainly because he narrated one of the character POVs in the audiobook versions. I mean, it might also be a favourite YA of his, but he was the voice of Akos.
You should do this with followers.
Becoming famous just so you judge my reading taste seems like a lot of work
"Tell me your five favourite books and I will tell you my impression of you" sort of thing? That would be fun
Chris Evans definitely reads challenging books. But hats off to the guy who likes Mary Oliver,
Brysonâs book is excellent. Iâve bought it five times and I keep giving it away to friends or people I work with so they can enjoy it too.
Saturday is so good!
Exactly the content I need on my birthday
I laughed when Hugh Grant mentioned a quote from Vanity Hair and it went over Ashley Grahams head.
Nausea is a great book.
Sebastian recommended the catcher in the rye it is one of my favourite classics and it was also recommended by Andrew Garfield. I love both of em ;
A Brief History of Nearly Everything was gifted to me by my uncle who works at the national lab here in the States. Can confirm it is an EXCELLENT book and definitely worth a read!
I also read Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now when I was in deep and drowning in anxiety, panic, and depression and it was one of my first lights in the dark. It really helped me find my feet. So I know it sounds cheesy but I'm actually glad to see the author recommended.
Is anyone NOT surprised with Taika Waititiâs choice of âSex at Dawnâ by Christopher Ryan? đ
I love that you occasionally throw in to your schedule an entirely whimsical video such as this one. I wonder what the list of the favourite books of key world leaders might contain...Boris's might include Playboy of the Western World; Vlad's must include The Government Inspector; and The Donald's?? Catch Me if You Can, of course! đ
Austin Butlerâs is giving âI spark noted some of these in high school so yeah put them down as my favsâ
I can't believe how much you missed the point on Tender is the flesh.
Read House of Leaves!! It's such a unique concept and it's one of my favs
Jack slays EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!! Can't get enough- best videos ever đ„°
Not related to your reactions, but I love whoever made these lists literally put a book as a favorite due to "Photographed leaving Skylight Books with the book"... like he might not have even read it yet lol!
i love how u live for the drama reminded me of the kendall book recommendation situation đ€Ł
ok but spencer is so beautifully shot tho (plot is lacking but everything else is great) (soundtrack especially. it slaps so hard)
Chris Pine studied English at the University of California, Berkeley, and spent a year in the UK studying at my alma mater, the University of Leeds. Iâm not surprised, therefore, at the quality of his reading matter. He also got to enjoy âsupping warm beerâ in Leeds, and likes to go back there when he can.
1:50 amen, his short stories are incredible and life changing
Jack is throwing shade left and right, and we are here for it
I need a book taste awards ceramony where Jack is the host- I just need it.
i love this video!! :)) đ
The author of tender is the flesh is vegan. In interviews, she talks about how the book is meant to have people examine their own meat eating habits.
Not acknowledging veganism in the book is intentional. It's meant to parallel how few consider veganism as an option now. Animals are, after all, conscious.
SO EXCITED!!!đ
Christian Evans has a really similar taste to my father, the books he recommended are likely to help with your mental peace and in the industry he is he needs it to avoid all the Chaos
Not the first one being On The Road by Jack Kerouac đ I literally only know about him cause I wrote a prethesis paper on the challenges female authors face and he was an example of a sexist jerk who thought that for his girlfriend being part of the life cycle and bearing children was more important than being an author. Shout-out to Joyce Johnson
honestly i checked the course of love like 4 years ago from the library purely cause i thought it would be so aesthetic on a bookshelf and wanted to hopefully buy it if i liked it⊠did not finish but also i couldnât even start properlyâŠ
The way you just said Tender As The Flesh as mediocre has me shook! That book was brilliant
Tender is the flesh did touch on veganism tho⊠it was said that at the beginning everyone was vegan but the meat industry started to push governments into releasing studies that said that people couldnât survive on just plants. Every doctor started to push the idea that you needed meat and human meat was a healthy option. And it wasnât like a change from one day to the other, it was gradual, and it did have push back, for example Marcosâs father, it is heavily implied his sanity went to a point of no return after âthe transitionâ. Also itâs like one of the points of the book; how we humans will do almost everything when told and the lengths we go to justify the horrors. The people speaking against the government specially the scientist were also killed as cattle, a cultural reference to the political deaths and disappearances in Latam, specially Argentina in this case
not sure how other people who've read this book had this idea fly straight over their heads. how do you miss the point this badly.
this is the content we want
Pedro Pascal told GQ he was reading The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, and I like him even more after that. I loved Death In Venice and Tonio Kröger. Two stunning books that changed the way I see literature.
âwhich is so freaking obvious Steve Wonder could see itâ - i dont even feel bad for laughing that hard
I actually read a bright ray of darkness and the secret history because of Jacob elordi and they are one of my favorite books â€
That subtle shout out at 0:43 was crazy jackđ
Best video idea ever!!!
Everytime I'm itching for my next read, I camp at Jack Edwards' channel.
