So Margot‘s recommendations are all flowers ans sunshines and happiness and Cillian out there is like „it wrecked my heart… I loved it.“ 😂😂
Margot didn't stand a chance...Jack loves the gut-wrenching books, and clearly Cillian does too. 😂
That’s Cillian for you 😭
True I love that
I'm not sure I would describe Dune as all flowers and sunshine and happiness.
@@MissCaraMintthere is, admittedly, a lot of sunshine
When you said ''Eclipse'' my heart sank for a second, thinking Cillain Murphy recommended the third Twilight book
Lmaoo
Me too! But I was exited to hear why for a second
Same
SAME! Came just to comment it but you beat me
Thats the best one from the saga in my opinion, and the movie with that soundtrack was amazing (i read that book like 15 years ago so i don't really remember much of it but i do know it was my favorite lol)
Ken’s job is “beach.” Jack’s job is “book.” 😂
I would honestly pay to see Jack and Frank Herbert have a beach off
Same
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.57okay
I don't know if this is possible but, can you make a video like this about Greta gerwig and Christopher Nolan's favourite books/ book recommendations? I think it would be really interesting.
yesssss what a great idea!!
@@paulam9743 thank you 🤍
THIS IS AWESOMEE
As a fellow Irishman, I appreciate the green papers for Cillian
Barbies, say thank you to Literature Ken for doing a good job at Book today.
Jack Edwards has 2 Rounds of Boxing: One with Charles Dickens and the other is Dune bashing.
And the bonus round: Spanish Love Deception.
@@devika6609 More like warmup round.
@@Anmol2099x Algorithm, not me
@@Anmol2099xwe all have the same taste ig
Jack assembled the Barbenheimer TBR. His job is teach.
P.S. You look adorable in the pullover. She’s Irrepressibly Unhinged Booktuber Barbie.
I see you everywhere and I like all of your comments. Genuinely one of the nicest people I've seen on the internet lol. Good day to you.
@@nobodyelse7911 Omg that’s so sweet brb crying
@@PokhrajRoy. Also you've got great taste considering I keep on running into you 😜😂
@@nobodyelse7911 Thank you so much!
Tere pass itna time kaise rehta hai bhai?😂
As a certified Cillian Murphy stan I’ve never clicked on a video faster in my life
SAME 😂😂😂❤
Me too
“I would read her shopping list” , what a wonderful thing to say to a writer
I think it's so funny that Margot Robie's dog is named after Boo Radley and Cillian Murphy's dog is named after Scout.
"I was going around my house putting missing poster signs for the plot of this book" 😭😭😭 OH MY GOD
When im in a "reading irish authors competition" and my opponent is Cillian Murphy
just to clarify, SAG-AFTRA is still on strike for TV/Streaming/Theatrical contracts! the writer's guild is the one that reached a tentative agreement with their own union, which is completely separate from the actor's union's strike and negotiations. they will, however, go back into negotiations Monday October 2nd! thank you for being supportive of actors and their strike!
Exactly. Writers’ strike is off (although the membership hasn’t yet voted to accept/reject the contract, the last step).
Actors (& others covered by SAG-AFTRA) still on strike, but the parties are restarting negotiations n Monday. (It was the companies who previously refused to return to the table.)
I’m a little confused by what he meant with this cause he’s been posting videos each month
@@clarasmith7775 I think his goal was to avoid promotion or either movie out of respect for the strike.
Fun fact, John Updike wrote Rabbit, Run in response to Jack Kerouac's On The Road. He wanted to show a realistic depiction of Kerouac's lifestyle and what the consequences would really be.
That’s very interesting!
About Dune.
Princess Irulans epigraphs are from her later writings when Paul „Muad’Dib“ pretty much became a religious figure. As for their function, I always thought that they meant to show how the universe saw Paul and the difference between reality and propaganda. Oftentimes what she writes doesn’t / didn’t quite happen that way and Paul himself is no hero, even though he's being worshipped like a deity. Additionally, like Paul, the reader knows what's gonna happen (in a way) but isn’t able to stop it
Yes exactly! And the story isn’t meant to be suspenseful it’s meant to be “historical”, when you study history you already know what happens (or what the government has decided the story of what happened is) so like knowing the end, that Paul becomes a major figure isn’t a spoiler it’s why you’re studying him at all
@@videodonna5594 Yes. it reminds me a lot of those historical fiction books about real historical characters. You know where it is going. You know Marie Antoinette for example eventually gets het head chopped off, or that Henry VIII ends up with a string of failed marriages where he kills off almost half of them.
it's SO interesting how margot and cillian's tastes correspond to their countries' cultures
I'm very curious, could you please elaborate?
I think what they mean is that, traditionally Ireland is painted as a melancholic country and also has a century long history of cultural opression (also The Troubles) which kind of leads to country wide collective trauma which often gets dealt with through stories. Irish people (and Northern Europeans for that matter) are also known to be very humble and don’t take praise very well contrary to for example the general American.
Margot Robbie in the other hand is Australian, a country, at least to my knowledge, famous for the adventures and happiness etc. I would say it fits that Robbie would read the happy go lucky flowery books and Murphy reads the “let’s wretch my heart” books.
(This is just what I would say, but I am from neither of those countries so pls correct me if I’m wrong)
Edit bc I did indeed realizes that Margot Robbie is Australian.
Also my knowledge of Australian culture is limited so pls add on your thoughts :))
@@clara_hp6254Margot Robbie is Australian
she's Australian@@clara_hp6254
@clara_hp6254 I'm from Australia which I is why I was wondering what OP meant. I don't think that any of Margot's picks reflect our culture. For example to Kill a Mockingbird is very American, the Hobbit has nothing to do with us, and neither do any of the other books.
the true Barbenheimer we all needed.
Well, that was definitely a Barbenheimer books edition. Cillian's books are dark and pondering and Margot's are mostly fun (To kill a mockingbird aside)
Your backdrop looks so good now! Really love the current look of the library 😊
I literally JUST purchased "Grief is the thing with Feathers" and I see you mention it in the video!!! Can't wait to read it, it sounds amazing
LOVE this book.
If you like it you should definitely try Lanny. It's more classic novel feel but all the gorgeous writing and a bit weird still. Easier to get stuck into but so many of the good points. I'm sad it's not shouted about more. Don't really get why it's not!
Cillian Murphy is starting in “Small things like these” 🥺. One of my favorite books played by my favorite actor!!!!
This book is everywhere i hope they'll translate it one day so i could find it
every time I see Cillian Murphy i think: “oh my god I’m shaking please buy her brown contacts”
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES!! Especially in the movie Red Eye! Very creepy but also good movie 😂
😭😭💀💀
@@fatimaha4797And weirdly enough that looked more unsettling than anything else.
14:43 Lol I thought ‘Eclipse’ as in Twilight series
I feel you on Secret Seven! The nostalgia for my childhood - no words!! I lived on Enid’s books!
I'm here for Enid Blyton books. Her books shaped my middle school period! I remember devouring 'Famous Five' book series and 'The Secret Seven' series. My librarian during my 6th grade would not let anyone read any other books until we finished these series. This book was my gateway to detective books. I LOVE them. I do not remember any names, or even incidents, like you said, I remember only the feeling. I even forgot about these books. You mentioning them, it just GOD brought back all the memories. Love Margot for putting this out there, LOVE YOU for beautifully explaining the exact feeling that I share. I definitely am going to give a re-read. Aw! Lots of nostalgia bubbling, I can already see me enjoying them in the near future again! Thanks bud! You are AWESOME!
You can tell Margot is a reader since she was a kid.
Exactly! And she remembers her books, which is even more amazing! I don't think I would think of these series right out of the box when I recommend books to anyone. She must have really enjoyed them so much that she remembers it. I am definitely giving them a re-read! @@anaserranocorces4551
Enid Blyton really made me want to go to boarding school when I was six years old 😢😂
Oh my goodness your comment just connected dots for me.. secret 7 was definitely my gateway to my love for mystery and detective novels!! Amazing what childhood reading does
@@loismcfadden586 I know right! A lot of my now favourite genre I thought I liked those because of certain books that I read recently. However, it so happens that I liked reading certain books in my middle school period which I totally forgot about and I just tapped into that genre energy like in my early 20s. All credit goes to Librarians!
Patiently waiting for books in bookstores to have Jack’s opinion printed on their backs… would make everything so much easier
"It's kind of giving Cosmo and Wanda, I'm not gonna lie" - laughed so hard, that made me so happy. Thank you!
was having a pretty bad day all around until jack's little spew about the mass migration of hot australians really got a laugh out of me at 2:36 HAHA thanks for the upload, jack! paused the video just to like and comment before continuing hehe
sending you a big hug! hope your day turns around!!
Tell me why you said "Eclipse" and I was like "ah yes the third book in the Twilight saga. Interesting choice" 😂
sag aftra is still on strike. the wga has reached a tentative agreement.
Not me getting distracted by Jack's clothbound classics 😭😭
I want to read every single book from Cillian's side ❤
love the solidarity in not posting, was wondering where you went and now it all makes sense :)
I would looove to see what books Paul Mescal recommends it would be so interesting I'm sure
Obsessed with the Cillian Murphy literally canon
obsessed with cillian murphy, period
@@user-be3iu9vz4s lol yeah
This is such a great idea for a video! And Jack is always so eloquent and entertaining!
Love the concept of this video and your enthusiastic presentation of all the books!
finally, finally, FINALLY !! someone talked about enid blyton like that woman was my whole childhood and i love her so much i can't explain it
I know my tbr is gonna grow whenever Jack posts any new video
Same.
I would just like to clarify that as of now, SAG-AFTRA is still on strike. It's only the Writer's Guild that have reached a tentative agreement. Separate things that both need solidarity.
Honestly I’d love to see more of this type of video where you’re pitting two people’s book tastes against each other. It was fun trying to guess who’d win😊
This format was really fun!
Yesss a new Jack Edward video! Definitely will be listening to this for my lonngggg walk to my classes
Not me thinking for a split sec Cillian recommended Eclipse the third twilight book 😭
Same 😂
I was just listening while I was working and I was shook 😂
FR 😭😂😂 and just the third book in particular, forget the other two, just the idea it's only the third book made me crack up
This is my favorite video of yours so far! wonderful book recommendations with even better reviews!!!
Great video! And your library looks great behind you!
pure joy seeing you talk about books😭
I would love to see a round 2 of this that’s the best of the best recommendations compiled from anyone on the full cast list of either movie go head to head omg
Your book shelves are looking lovely! 📚🤓
You have just made my week Jack, thank you.
You know you really love a book when you can spot it far away on Jack's bookshelf 😂😂
I love these videos, hoping to get more book recommendations! :)
This has been my favourite Celebrity Book Club, Jack. I love the concept of Margot vs Cillian. Some very different kinds of books too. Have to say I was a Famous Five girl - they were MY series and changed my life, making me the voracious reader I am today - especially to follow a series or all of an author's works. Great fun and thoughtful. Hubby took Dune on FOUR holidays to read it. Finally finished this time!
this is such a great concept!!
It's a good day when Jack posts. 😁😁
CONGRATUATIONS ON THE BOOKSHELF IT IS AMAZING!!!
I don't know if it was purposeful but the framing of the bookshelf in the background where you have the side of it on the left and then then the wall on the right creating a natural border/ frame is incredibly satisfying.
Jack is the reason why my book tbr has now crossed 1500+ books. Thank you, King.
Love the classics being displayed!
obsessed w/ your background/commitment to your craft
Omggggg Jack I just gotta say it I just GOTTTAAAA!!!
Ur BACKGROUND!!! Omg it looks so amazing!!! Seriously the effort I put in for those shelves is def shown they are beautiful❤❤
Jack trying not to be biased while he's wearing a pink jumper :)))
Secret Seven is also what got me into reading! They set such a high standard for mystery books for 9 year old me that I still haven’t found a book series that made me feel the same way lol
Omg I also used to love books like The Secret Seven and The Famous Five as a kid.
Fr enid blyton changed my entire life. Her books are laced with drugs better than anything out there
Great concept! Loved the review
Oohh! I love the background, Jack!!!📚❤
I love when you do these videos. I don't know which two but I definitely be looking at two actors.
i love these so much oml
So proud of you Jack for reading all these books from Margot Robbie and Cillian Murray ❤
Murphy
Today, as I was wasting time, I realized I hadn't watched any Jack Edwards in a while and how I would be upset missing any of your main channel content. It felt nice to see your post.I really enjoyed watching it as usual.
Love you❤
do more like theseee i enjoyed the video so much
Idk if this was a thing a while ago, or if it just blew over and was agreed to be false, but I thought there was a whole thing about Better Help being dodgy and having fake therapists and taking the identity of real ones. I remember reading a horror story about someone with an eating disorder who was trying to get help, she said "and yeah so i lost a lot of weight", and the 'therapist' congratulated her????
i thought i was the only one thinking this!! and they are also in trouble with the FTC at the moment for mishandling sensitive health data from their customers...
yeah they're *extremely* dodgy....
I cant believe the old man and the sea was mentioned, this video reignited my memories of reading it in school..... i loved it and im definitely going to read it now, thank you jack:)
yay celebrity book club!!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
bookbenheimer
this is an absolutely crazy idea, and i expect nothing less from Jack
This is a friendly reminder to reread my favorite book The Master and Margarita. Thank you :)
I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m ready to add more books to my tbr. Everyone thank Jack for feeding us today
I love Cillian’s recommendations
The fact that Jack would choose Hemingway over Dune expains to me why we would never be bookish friends, but I'm still here for the vibes. Truth be told, I didn't like the next installments of the Dune franchise, but I also never read more Hemingway than I absolutely had to.
The ultimate novel about being friendzoned is the poor folk by dostoevsky
I was waiting so bad for Jack to review Cillian's recommendations 😌
Love your pullover! 💖
Jack Edwards canonically hating Dune brings me so much joy, you have no idea. Everyone and their mom seems to enjoy this book and i just... don't... understand 😭😭
I'm one of those people in the middle who enjoyed it but don't see what all the fuss is.
I read it for the first time as a teen when I was reading lots of science fiction. I reread it a few years ago and it is at best OK. Even within its genre, there are much, much better books.
Also fuck the movie too
Same!!!1

As a ,70s child- The Secret Seven is also the reason I still read today!! Nobody does it like Enid ❤ PS also an Aussie who came to live in London in the ‘90s. Just love your videos Jack😊
It was The Famous Five for me all the way, lol
2 posts in a day?? we are fed and nourished and fattened papa
It's great to have you back! ❤
I WAITED SOOOO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO OMGGG
Stoppp I love small things like these soooo much
This was excellent!! Even though I am a huge Dune fan (let's fight!), I absolutely agree that Claire Keegan is a beautiful writer. LOVE HER!!!!!
i’ve been wanting to make a video like this about greta gerwig so i love this
I've not done so much reading of a book about a certain city when travelling, but I've been trying to read a native author when visiting new countries
the library is looking so good 😩
just fyi, sag-aftra is still on strike! it is the writers guild (wga) that reached an agreement this week. two different unions so two separate strikes! still excited for this video, jack!
yes, sorry I explained this badly! originally the videos I’d made included lots of references to their various struck film projects which I cut out of this one so as to abide by strike guidelines, and just talk about Margot and Cillian instead. then the day I filmed this the tentative agreement was made with WGA
Love this series so much ❤
Nice to see some Enid Blyton in one of these videos. I loved the Famous Five as a kid and enjoyed the Secret Seven as well. I think it’s interesting that top actors are often very well read and interesting people.
Adding 'Small Things Like These' to my December TBR.
Thank you for the video it's wonderful, I enjoyed it immensely. Would never think about looking into book recommendations, just because it never occurred to me they existed anywhere on the Net.
I also loved Enid Blyton's books when I was a young teenage :) And Nancy Drew and Hardy brothers as well :) Thanks for Claire Keegan, I made a mental note in my head to find a copy.
Funny, while I was listening to you I also thought on what kind of book I would recommend to these guys in return, and I came up with "Rosy Project" - and a couple of minutes later here you are, having this book behind you on a shelf. Btw, what would you recommend to Cillian and Margot?
Your dog is lovely. What's its name?
