The bigger branches are pretty, but my local branch is just a regular municipal building. Also, if you're a legal resident in Paris (which I'm guessing Jack is not since he's staying in Airbnbs), the public library is 100% free. You can pay a membership fee to the (private) American Library and it will pay for itself quite quickly.
french learning tip!! I’ve been learning french for the last 6 months or so but the thing that actually propelled me to understanding french the best was just diving into a book in french. I started with Twilight because I was familiar with that ( due to unfortunate childhood reading tastes from long ago). I was probably at the level you are now or just slightly ahead, and the first 50 pages I did a lot of written translating, but after that, words started repeating and grammar and different tenses became easier to grasp. I also read out loud to myself to help with speech. It became surprisingly easy to understand it written down. I am just now getting into a new, actual french poetry book “Les fleurs du mal” and that’s a little harder since I am not familiar with the writing.
I did this too , but with Roald Dahl at first, comics as well, then found a Percy Jackson novel, slowly going through them even if the story is a bit harsh because of the translation you definitely learn quickly . I also take notes when I find something new that I need to know. It makes reading part of the fun of learning which is great !
oh that's so funny, I'm French and I learnt English by reading Twilight ! "Les fleurs du mal" is not an easy book, congratulations ! Plus I always thought that poetry is harder to understand in a foreign language because you don't have as much context to understand the words you don't know. Maybe you should read books that you don't know cause it keeps you gooing to know what happens. I definitely started with fiction to learn English. But I'm curious to know how Jack is learning French too !
I've learned french for a few years (stopped for a few years, and I'm beginning to pick it up again for the past few weeks) and I have to agree! I used to attend a French embassy-sponsored French language institute and they have a cute little library filled with French books (from upper beginner level to advanced) so I sometimes borrowed books from there. I wasn't that familiar with french literature other than the difficult classics so i just read popular English books translated into French, including Hunger Games :) if I don't understand the words, I just translate them using google translate, and for better understanding of the context, i just search it on google and read online dictionaries I know there are better translation apps out there but google translate is so handy for quickly discovering the meaning of a word!
@@delphinegras1423 Yeah “les fleurs du mal” is still quite challenging for me, but it is so heartening how much I am able understand. Do you have any french fiction recs?
@@elisabethjmusic maybe L'étranger by Camus (which Jack likes), I would maybe recommend Marguerite Duras, she write with short sentences, but that's also kind of classic, a more contemporary author would be Eric Emmanuel Schmitt, he's very popular and maybe as @A Happy French Toast said read popular English books in French.
Shakespeare and Co is definitely expensive because of its fame... And don't even get me started on the Abbey bookshop...! I think you would definitely like Gibert Joseph (a 10min walk from Shakespeare, you go towards the Abbey bookshop but instead of turning in the little street, you pass the Sorbonne and go towards Odéon). On the 2nd floor there is a great selection of English books. Some of them are 2nd hand (but most of the time in pristine condition) and are wayyyy cheaper. The new ones are also way cheaper than at Shakespeare. They have everything from classics to new releases, from sci-fi to romance etc. It's not as pretty as Shakespeare or the Abbey bookshop, but the price and the selection are on point! Hope I'll get to see you in one of those bookshops one day! Enjoy parisian bookstores 😊
So glad you went here ! As a parisianer, I am always disappointed when people only mention the Shakespeare and Co, because the guy from the Abbey Bookshop is soo nice, he offers cups of tea sometimes, and he has an impressive knowledge of the exact location of his books in all this messy organization. And the lady from The Redwheelbarrow is a gem !
I’m French and as soon as I learned that you were in Paris I was like “he absolutely needs to go to Shakespeare and Co” soooo yeah glad you liked it It really is lovely, I loved it :))
I love this sm! Paris has always been a literary city to me and this only stimulates that thought. The video gives a very lovely vibe and it’s a great motivation to read books!
This reminds me of when I was living in Czech Republic, and there was ONE English bookshop - the Big Ben Bookshop. I was a teen and devouring books way too quickly. Also you saw Detransition Baby! twice in those bookshops so I think it's a sign to do a Trans Literature Read
Amazing! When I was in Paris I didn't have room in my backpack to bring any books with me. One day I'll go back and spend the entire trip book shopping.
Book shopping is like having a fuzzy blanket on whilst enjoying a nice cup of tea and having some Sufjan Stevens softly playing in the back when it’s raining and it’s 5 degrees outside and you know you don’t have anything important to do the entire day✨ The abbey bookshop looked magical Jack😍 I am so going there when I do visit Paris
The fact that you were 10 meters away from my flat drives me crazy but at the same time makes me realise how lucky i am to live there thanks for this. Amazing edits ❤️❤️ bisous
My top recommendation for a French book for a learner is Le Petit Prince. Most books are written in the past historic (le passé simple), which is quite difficult if you're new to French. Le Petit Prince, being a children's book, is written in le passé composé, so is much more accesible.
The amount of sheer joy that I get from watching you get excited looking at a book store is inexplainable. There is definitely a world where you and I are Besties
the reason why books in Europe are more expensive is that most countries have „Fixed Book Price“ which means, that if a book is published and for sale it has the same price in ALL shops. and you mostly can't even apply coupon codes on books. that‘s why they’re always “so expensive“ i hope i explained it right haha. Great Britain does not have a Fixed Book Price (FCB)
I think books are also more expensive (in France) because they’re printed in France most of the time whereas it’s not always the case for English books. For instance when I went to England I bought books which had all been printed in China which I think explains why it was quite cheap (£9) since the cost of production probably wasn’t very high considering how little Chinese workers are paid compared to European standards I don’t think if it’s the case for all books in England but I suppose that can account for the difference of price 🧐
True, the basic book price in the Netherlands is €20. The price is lower when a book has many reprints after a number of years. I believe most books are printed in China, because that's indeed cheaper, like everything else that's manufactured in China.
I get very upset when I buy a book that has seen several hands,be sold quite steeply in Greece.And when I point out that it has been read several times and should lower the price,the sellers give me the stink eye and say don’t buy it then.Charity shops in England have been my saving grace.
I’d just like to say, I’ve been really struggling with motivation and confidence really and watching Jack achieve what he has, knowing that we’re from the same town in the UK, went to the same Secondary School, and both studying English degrees at uni. It’s been really inspirational and just from these blogs have been really helpful to me. So thank you for that
The Master and Margarita is on my Russian Literature syllabus this year at uni (haven't covered it yet though) so it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts once you've read it! For a quick lil Russian read, I'd recommend The Government Inspector, a play by Gogol :)
MaM is an absolute masterpiece, really easy to read and still difficult to understand all of the details. Especially when you realise that this book was banned in USSR and Mikhail Bulgakov got absolutely nothing from this mind-changing story
@@dsshbrd I listened to it as an "audiobook" on public radio in the US, while I was working in a darkroom, back in the 1980s. It took many 1 or 2-hour daily broadcasts to finish but I remember enjoying listening to it.
This video was so aesthetic and chill. Love this vibe! Paris looks so beautiful. I love how you shop at independent book stores. They certainly have a charm. The books you bought all look so good! I would totally read all of them.
I recently read "no modernism without lesbians" by diana souhami and it was super interesting especially because the first part focuses on sylvia beach who was the founder of shakespeare and company so you read a lot about her and the bookshop and its origins
This is an old vlog no? From your first appartment in Paris I think. Wish I could go on book hauls. I was so jealous of your Instagram stories. You've been planning your book for so long? Woah!! I love your editing. Always!!💖💖
Hi Jack! Two more English bookstores for you : the Galignani bookstore (my favourite) and Smith&Son, which are on the same street in the 1st arrondissement the Rivoli Street. I was so nice watching you discover my favorite parts of Paris lol
Actually, the bits in and around the bookshops with just the Damselfy song playing were wonderful and then talking about the books later, a great balance, excellent, Jack Edwards.
'Shakespeare and Company' was also in film 'Before Sunset' so maybe that's also why some of the tourists go there. Great film, btw - the whole trilogy.
Buying english books in France is so darn expensive 😭 they add a tax on books here and since it's not included in the production planing in foreign countries, it just gets added on and they cost like 25€ instead of 12€-15€ (which is the typical price of a newly released book in France, btw)
The Abbey reminds me of my very favorite bookshop in Nashville which has since closed. It was nestled right behind the Frist art museum. I miss it so much!
me going to a bookstore and saying, I'll not buy a book. never comes true haha. but i love to shop books secondhand, it's better for the environment and it's cheaper haha:) great video as always!!
Thank you for all your lovely videos Jack! You made me fall back in love with reading, especially fiction. Hope you have a wonderful time in Paris, it looks so magical!
I don’t know if you already know or if someone else already mentioned it but there are two other bookstores that I know of that have a nice variety of books in English and they’re both close to each other. They’re called Galignani and WHSmith. They’re next to les Tuileries! Loved this video!
I really recommend Baudelaire's poetry as a gateway into French-language literature when you're ready - a classic French poet, really accessible poetry, and some lovely metaphors. Les Fleurs du Mal is my favourite of his collections!! That, or Sartre or Aymé's short stories - I think you'd love Le Passe-Muraille if you haven't already read a version of it :))
Ok, but like, can we talk about how perfect is this vlog’s soundtrack? I mean, so on point, the beats were perfect with the cuts and I was just dancing along with it… I loved it, great job Jack!
WAIT I HAVE BEEN TO THE RED WHEELBARROW BOOKSTORE!! It is so cool to see one of my favourite youtubers go to a place I have been to! THIS MADE MY DAYYY!!
Just adding another recommendation for the Galignani, we stumbled across it at random and the little gallery/balcony area at the back is just *chef's kiss*
perfect timing for your video jack!! im laying in bed now, trying to calm my anxiety because I have an exam tomorrow, so thank you for uploading at the right time mwah!!😊
I love it when a bookstore includes their shop’s bookmarks when I order online. It’s the little things. When I travel (not much these days) I always visit local libraries and at least one bookstore. If I’m able to I’ll sign up for a visitor/non-resident library card. Obviously, I do not check out physical books. I’m interested in accessing their digital collection.
Jack’s really out here living his best life and bringing us along while we sit at home lonely lol
He is lonely too, that is why he makes videos.
@@lola.lola11.11 wow that is some unwanted assumption
@@isabela6262 i think he said that he doesn’t feel lonely because he makes videos lol. anyway maybe we should stop assuming and just let him live.
I feel like jack and I are friends haha
Ifkr
You should hit up a library! Not only are all the books free, but library buildings, especially in big cities like Paris, are gorgeous :)
You often have to pay for a membership though
@@douloureux. Paris librarys are free
@@douloureux. yes, you can go in for free and read books, the membership is for bringing books back to your home usually
@@douloureux. membership costs not even 1 dollar in my country. You just pay for a plastic card
The bigger branches are pretty, but my local branch is just a regular municipal building. Also, if you're a legal resident in Paris (which I'm guessing Jack is not since he's staying in Airbnbs), the public library is 100% free. You can pay a membership fee to the (private) American Library and it will pay for itself quite quickly.
the note saying "HOW CAN A PERSON KNOW EVERYTHING AT 18 BUT NOTHING AT 22" SO TRUE OMG
It's from a song 'Nothing new'
@@magda_mf i know it's my favourite song
Jack is really out here giving us us the Paris content we didn't know we needed 😩
Jack: “Book shopping is self care.” Words to live by. :)
Amen.

Here comes the politically correct preaching...
@@lola.lola11.11 here came the random transphobe freaking out over the word ‘trans’
I have Detransition Baby on my tbr list! do you have any other Trans Literature Read suggestions? I’d love to know a few please :)
SH I read The Art of Being Normal and liked it! The classic Middlesex also is trans literature and I also enjoyed it.
Jack, don't feel pressured to buy books for content! We'd love your library hauls just as much as your bookstore hauls!
“Time was soft there” by Jeremy Merced is a delightful book about Shakespeare and Company. Love your inspiring videos, Jack.
Amazing! When I was in Paris I didn't have room in my backpack to bring any books with me. One day I'll go back and spend the entire trip book shopping.

it’s so fun to see a place and people i’ve worked with, working in Shakespeare and Co was such a good experience omg
The vibes of this music are making me nostalgic for Jack’s old intro song! ✨
loved the “siempre buena vibra” at 1:58 ✨ it's the perfect quote for your type of videos

“You don’t even need to buy anything” the depression I would get coming out of a bookstore empty handed would simply not be worth it.
"The Master and Margarita" is one of my favourite books, it is very interesting. can't wait to hear your thoughts about it.
He gave it 3 stars.

The fact that is video is exactly 10 minutes long is giving me serotonin
book shopping and books shops genuinely make me so happy so this vlog radiated pure comfort

Love Shakespeare & Co, so glad you went there! 😍There’s a nice little café right next to it where I’d always get my matcha latte.

Buying books is a luxury in itself! ❤️ Although it doesn't matter if we read them or not . well happy reading jack !
Jack, you’re positively beaming today. It is your moral imperative that when in Paris, you give us FOMO.
The Master & Margarita is on another level in the history of all books!
these videos are so calming jack :)
Jack is really turning into my comfort booktuber
I have such a huge crush on him just never stop making videos please
i swear jack this videos just make my life a lot better thank you
I LOVE RED WHEELBARROW! The owner Penelope is wonderful!
Your videos are so uplifting!
The Abbey reminds me of my very favorite bookshop in Nashville which has since closed. It was nestled right behind the Frist art museum. I miss it so much!
me going to a bookstore and saying, I'll not buy a book. never comes true haha. but i love to shop books secondhand, it's better for the environment and it's cheaper haha:)
great video as always!!
I love how the books are kept in an untidy way, but it looks cute.
Hahahaha everyone walking past seeing Jack talking to a bush😭
Thank you for all your lovely videos Jack! You made me fall back in love with reading, especially fiction. Hope you have a wonderful time in Paris, it looks so magical!
The title alone is my dream life.
I don’t know if you already know or if someone else already mentioned it but there are two other bookstores that I know of that have a nice variety of books in English and they’re both close to each other. They’re called Galignani and WHSmith. They’re next to les Tuileries! Loved this video!
me vibing the whole time to this *immaculate* music choice
I would say the little walk between the three bookstores are around 5th and 6th arrondissement, such beautiful parts of the city
I really recommend Baudelaire's poetry as a gateway into French-language literature when you're ready - a classic French poet, really accessible poetry, and some lovely metaphors. Les Fleurs du Mal is my favourite of his collections!! That, or Sartre or Aymé's short stories - I think you'd love Le Passe-Muraille if you haven't already read a version of it :))
Ugggghhhh I went to Paris in 2017 and I miss it soooo much. Def left a piece of my heart there.
Watching your videos is my therapy 🙏🏻
I agree: Browsing a book shop can heal your soul.
(And unfortunatly buying makes it even better.)
Master and margarita is one of my fav books ♥️
Master + Margarita is one of my fav classic Russian texts, I hope you love it
Shakespeare and Company is by far the most beautiful book shop I've ever been in... And the people who worked there were so nice
"I had a minor incident this morning and so I decided to go bookshoping !" My life exactly
Ok, but like, can we talk about how perfect is this vlog’s soundtrack? I mean, so on point, the beats were perfect with the cuts and I was just dancing along with it… I loved it, great job Jack!
WAIT I HAVE BEEN TO THE RED WHEELBARROW BOOKSTORE!! It is so cool to see one of my favourite youtubers go to a place I have been to! THIS MADE MY DAYYY!!
your bio is everything 😂
Book shopping is such a nice, relaxing self-care for me.
Great, you haven’t give up the Joe from YOU video! Look forward to it🤩
You are my comfort yutuber!! U give me motivation to read more and please never stop making yutube videos, because iam gonna cry❤️
now I want to go book-shopping as well! would love to see a tour of parisian second-hand bookshops sometime in the future too :)
Just adding another recommendation for the Galignani, we stumbled across it at random and the little gallery/balcony area at the back is just *chef's kiss*
Jack’s such a beautiful human. I love how calming these vlogs are.
The vibes in this are immaculate. Love you Jack
I personally go to Smith and son when I want to bye a english book or magazine, really great book store !
i'm making a paris trip plan based solely on this video (also: "hey jacklemore, can we go book shopping?" chef's kiss)
perfect timing for your video jack!! im laying in bed now, trying to calm my anxiety because I have an exam tomorrow, so thank you for uploading at the right time mwah!!😊
Good luck
Hope it goes well 💛
when bookshops have cats, they are automatically superior to any other bookshop.
idk bookshops make me feel so warm inside? even if I can’t read the language, I still love to visit them (i love japanese bookshop in my city)
I love it when a bookstore includes their shop’s bookmarks when I order online. It’s the little things.
When I travel (not much these days) I always visit local libraries and at least one bookstore. If I’m able to I’ll sign up for a visitor/non-resident library card. Obviously, I do not check out physical books. I’m interested in accessing their digital collection.
I was watching before sunset and had to comeback because OMG IT'S THE SAME BOOKSHOP
Its the real life ‘Midnight in Paris’ just beautiful ☺️
❤❤❤
please do more of these ✨ so relaxing to watch
