@@Monika-wo7nd As you should. You are doing a good job with being responsible. Maybe you should recommend your students to watch Jack one of these days😜💯
Please please read some Brazilian authors! I have a whole stack of books by Paolo Coelho on my shelf waiting for me to find the motivation to read them 🙃
Your words Jack Edwards that you spoke as "Metaphors can be used to capture your feelings and sentiments without opening the wounds all over again" got me thinking " Does Jack ever realise how sometimes, in the middle or corner of his utterance somewhere, one that he perhaps, barely considers noticing, let alone a reflection on it, he makes me realise that beauty can still be there even when you're not having anything so grand as such to look at?"
@@happyjellycatsquid fucking chill bro. it’s ok that you dont like it. it’s not a stupid question to ask someone why they dont like a particular sound in music. you dont have to mock the artist who is massive even if you like it or not, plus she’s only starting out and her album is the only album in history to have its all tracks in hot 100 for three weeks now. clearly there are people who like it.
I just ventured into graphic novels and from the amount of articles and reviews I flipped through. I'd say these ones are very good : The Unwritten Paper Girls Monstress This One Summer The Arrival The Sculptor Here Daytripper On A Sunbeam Palimpsest Kabuki Circle Of Blood My Favourite Thing Is Monsters. Also Jack we'd love to see you dip into a few manga if you have time 🤞
Helium is so good! Rudy's live readings of his poems are incredible and worth a watch. Olivia has good taste, I started listening to her music after this video lol.
I’ve been searching for a comment that mentioned Rudy!! His my favourite poet :) I love watching is live readings! if you haven’t already, you should check out his other poetry collection “I’ll fly away”
i was SO excited to see you talking about helium by rudy francisco!!!! he’s my favorite poet and he has a new book he came out with a few months ago!!!
I just realized jack went to Durham and loveless by alice oseman takes place in Durham too. Wow. It's just that i just made that connection so 🤯😌 Also i was listening to brutal and jealousy, jealousy on repeat. I'm obsessed. Great video, as always jack makes the day better
The spine of The Marvels looks like that because it matches Brian Selznick's other two middle grade books! Like yeah, it is a little disappointing compared to the cover, but it looks really cool on the shelf next to Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck.
Oh my word I love the curious incident of the dog and the nighttime, it’s one of my faves (the play was also my GcSE text for Drama). A book similar to that which is probably my fave book is Can you see me by Libby Scott and Rebecca wescott, it follows an 11 year old autistic girl called tally in her first term at secondary school, it’s amazing and I cried at several points, it also felt so real to me, like so many parts were so realistic of what year 7 is like, like the people in the class, the teachers, things people say ect. Libby Scott is an 11 year old autistic girl herself who writes these diary entries throughout that are Tally’s, based off her own experiences. It also contains information about autistic traits and the good and bad sides of it. The book is also based off of multiple autistic peoples experiences with school. And as someone who had a sucky time with people in year 7 it defiantly brought back a lot of memories, which is something to be mindful of. Tho it is very very good and highly recommend.
Except that the Curious Incident was written by an allistic man who did zero research on autism. You want more books like Can you see me? Then read shit from ACTUAL autistic authors & stop giving money to someone who didn't even bother to do his research
@@BooksandBuns sorry I didn’t realise this so will not recommend the book anymore. Thank you for bringing my attention to this. I have read a few books by actually autistic authors that I’ve found, however they are hard to come by (and I have done by own research on this but always looking for good recs if you have any- i don’t mind either way but I’m always looking to learn more)
If you’ve never read Brian Selznick’s other books, The Invention of Hugo Cabret (which got adapted into the Martin Scorsese film Hugo) and Wonderstruck, you absolutely need to. They’re done in the same style as The Marvels and they’re both masterpieces
I commented this as a reply but thought I'd comment normally too for others to see: If you want to read brilliant neurodivergent characters from an own voices author please read A Kind of Spark and Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll. They're amazing books and have autistic protagonists. Show also has ADHD rep too! Some of my favourite books of all time!
I have to say that I'm disappointed that you mention Curious Incident without disclaiming that Mark Haddon, an abled man, wrote a portrayal of autism with ZERO research, while also including harmful representation and literal child abuse and gaslighting to a character while justifying that treatment. It's extremely disheartening that Olivia also recommended it. Basic research will show you that Haddon didn't even apologize after being called out on his lazy process for writing this book. Please read books and promote books by autistic and ND writers.
@@katiasapoznikova4067 i’m sorry but literally shut up. you have no idea how exhausting it is to see work about autistic people written by neurotypicals (who obviously couldn’t be bothered to learn anything real about autism) constantly be promoted over work by people with actual lived experience as autistics. it’s not jack’s fault in my opinion, or Olivia’s, because society has done a truly awful job at educating people about ableism, but it is absolutely worth mentioning and our feelings are valid. i think it’s obvious that Jack cares about neurodivergent representation, but there is absolutely room for him to improve. also, whoever “y’all” is are not being sensitive. (and if by y’all you meant autistic people...wtf.)
I'm so sorry for not disclaiming the fact that Mark Haddon is an abled man -- I think because I knew this in my own head it didn't cross my mind to mention, but this was wrong. I listened to some podcasts about Curious Incident where a few people with autism said they resonated with the book which is why I felt comfortable recommending it (and a few autistic people have commented here saying they loved it), but I definitely should have looked further into the criticism. I wanted to make sure I said that it obviously wasn't representative of every autistic person, and tried to stress how I just felt like this one particular character was very well developed (in my opinion), but I should have discussed further. I'll try better next time to research critiques!
Just wanted to add that this book is particularly harmful to the autistic community because it's stupidly popular and it's constantly recommended as the best book when it comes to autism (mainly by neurotypical people) It's written from the perspective of the autistic boy by a neurotypical author. It makes 0 sense and I'd say the fact that some autistic people's experience matches the main character's is completely valid, but pure luck. That's not mark haddon's experience to write about. It's the same as white authors writing black characters. The likelihood is it's both
I think a lot autistic people have criticised Mark Haddon's novel for its portraial of autism (even tho it's not necessarily called that in the book I think?)... that's why I was kinda hesistant to read it until now, the comments on this video have confirmed that.
You should react to Bulgarian literature. It's actually really good. The two I recommend are the most famous novels: Under the Yoke by Ivan Vazov and Tobacco by Dimitar Dimov
Ooo you should do Ben Barnes! I heard he has recommended some great books, he studied English literature in college so I am curious what you think of his favorites! :)
Hi jack! Since you're doing recommendations by celebrities can you please do book recommendations by jay b of got 7 . I'm sure you'll find his career journey from famous group to now solo artist AND his book recommendations very interesting.
Lol I know this is weird but as I was reading curious incident the first time I actually got a white mouse and named him Toby because I was just so enthralled by the book🐭💞
Jack I really want you to read and review "dear martin" it's basically about racism, I am not going to start talking about it because I won't stop but I think you might like it.
As someone who loves "The Curious incident of the dog in the night time", seeing the criticisms against it is really frustrating because people say that it doesn't represent neurodivergence in a way most people can relate to, which I think is missing the point. The book wasn't written for neurodivergent people, and it wasn't written for neurotypical people either. Christopher is definitely neurodivergent, but his character isn't meant to be relatable, it's just a storytelling device and a character trait. For example, if someone wrote a book with someone who had stereotypical but not entirely accurate OCD might not be the best lens to look through to understand the struggles of people with the disorder, but it does show a character struggle and a reality the character has to grapple with, as well as a unique pov. What you want to call it doesn't change anything and in the case of the curious incident there is no specific neurodivergence stated, it's just to portray a story through a perspective most other don't, whether it be entirely realistic to an irl parallel or not.
Honestly I've been obsessed with her and her music lately and for real a teenager who'd accomplished more than I ever will in my entire life (I've come to terms with it. I love your book reviews and you don't have that intellectual snobbery that alot of booktubers do, but you still have great vocabulary.
Not related to the video but his smile just gives me so much comfort. He makes watching videos about books fun and comfortable, I just love binging these videos! He literally makes watching him advertise products fun and I don't even skip those parts.

A wanted to, but I was just tutoring two kids in English so I thought I better teach them English so they can enjoy Jack's videos some day too😂...

Oh hi jade
QUEEN
You should read books that Oprah recommends. I’m genuinely curious if she recommends good quality books.
her book club is pretty popular!
Wow. I love this idea
This is a GREAT idea!!
I have a Oprah post as well 😂
@@readbybeth9300 I tried looking for this video on ur channel! Link??
you’re telling me i have to wait til tomorrow to watch it… god it really is brutal out here
finally the wait is over
Day 2 of requesting Jack to read only Latin America + Spain books for a week.
Amazing video as always btw!
Yessss
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
YEEESSLDJDJF
YES
Please please read some Brazilian authors! I have a whole stack of books by Paolo Coelho on my shelf waiting for me to find the motivation to read them 🙃
Rudy Francisco is one of my favorite poets. So glad his work is being recognized!
Me too!! I recommend his poetry to everyone I know. He’s finally getting the recognition he deserves and it makes me so happy
I absolutely love book covers like that of Helium's. They give such a calm vibe
Your words Jack Edwards that you spoke as "Metaphors can be used to capture your feelings and sentiments without opening the wounds all over again" got me thinking " Does Jack ever realise how sometimes, in the middle or corner of his utterance somewhere, one that he perhaps, barely considers noticing, let alone a reflection on it, he makes me realise that beauty can still be there even when you're not having anything so grand as such to look at?"
Just realized Jack's birthday is one day after mine
Holy crap that means my birthday then vijetha's birthday the erika duarte's and the jack's birthday
i'm pretty much obsessed with her atm and i'm afraid that this video is gonna make me even more obsessed oops
i’m not a huge fan of olivia rodrigo’s music but honestly i’ll watch the video just for jack edwards
Retweet!!!
@Vijetha YC not everyone has the same music taste x
Same!!!
@Vijetha YC she has an amazing personality and seems super sweet but her music overall isn’t my taste. i do enjoy her song deja vu though ☺️
@@happyjellycatsquid fucking chill bro. it’s ok that you dont like it. it’s not a stupid question to ask someone why they dont like a particular sound in music. you dont have to mock the artist who is massive even if you like it or not, plus she’s only starting out and her album is the only album in history to have its all tracks in hot 100 for three weeks now. clearly there are people who like it.
We read The Curious Incident for class my sophomore year of high school and it’s been my favorite school reading EVER. It’s such a unique book
I just ventured into graphic novels and from the amount of articles and reviews I flipped through. I'd say these ones are very good :
The Unwritten
Paper Girls
Monstress
This One Summer
The Arrival
The Sculptor
Here
Daytripper
On A Sunbeam
Palimpsest
Kabuki Circle Of Blood
My Favourite Thing Is Monsters.
Also Jack we'd love to see you dip into a few manga if you have time 🤞
If Jack likes her taste in books I'm buying all of them
i saw the play here in buenos aires for the curious incident of the dog. it was really good!
Helium is so good! Rudy's live readings of his poems are incredible and worth a watch. Olivia has good taste, I started listening to her music after this video lol.
I’ve been searching for a comment that mentioned Rudy!! His my favourite poet :) I love watching is live readings! if you haven’t already, you should check out his other poetry collection “I’ll fly away”
That colourful necklace is so pretty!
im so glad you loved the curious incident because its one of my favourites ever!!!
this makes me love her even more if that was even possible
i was SO excited to see you talking about helium by rudy francisco!!!! he’s my favorite poet and he has a new book he came out with a few months ago!!!
pls it's the way I got a sour ad after the video as if I haven't listend to that album like a billion times already
The curious incident of the dog and the nighttime was performed by national theatre in my high school in the style of physical theatre
I remember when I read the curious incident at school I hated it so much
I just realized jack went to Durham and loveless by alice oseman takes place in Durham too. Wow. It's just that i just made that connection so 🤯😌
Also i was listening to brutal and jealousy, jealousy on repeat. I'm obsessed. Great video, as always jack makes the day better

LITERALLY. need her beats for my heart to function. *chef kiss*🤌🤌 PERIODT
omggg so excited
jack i love your shirt in the outro i need it 😩
2:35 they were literally blinded by beauty
For another good graphic book, I recommend Fun Home by Alison Bechdel that is actually a memoir. Its very lovely 💥
i liked the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime
which I actually read like a year ago so imagine how surprised I was to find this in here
i read the curious incident for school like 5 years ago and i still remember it and love in it
can we appreciate jack connecting the songs of sour with the video? because i love it
Damn, that poem. I needed a second there!
Notice how all amazing music artists have amazing book taste
The definition of one step forward, three steps back - I'm living for these references 🙌🏼
I agree the play of The Dog was wonderful, it was a magical experience.
soooo great, right?
Fun fact, here in NSW, curious incident of the dog in the night time is one of the books students read for year 12 standard English.
I'm here after listening to SOUR on repeat and when I tell you I JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT WHEN I SAW THIS
IM SO READY SOUR IS SO GOOD

Love Olivia rodrigo! Her music kills it in the best way.
I really adore seeing Jack read celebrity recommendations but hear me out: what if he read recommendations from his viewers
In an interview she said that her favorite book is big magic by elisabeth gilbert
Oml books + Olivia Rodrigo, the best day of my life. ❤️👄❤️
I can’t believe I guessed right on Jack’s insta story! I think I’m prouder of that then anything else I’ve done this week 😂
You should read book Hozier recommends. Hozier is 👌👌
i HATE how good u r with puns and how much i love them
Shut up I don’t care if I didn’t watch the video jet, I’m gonna like this thing
I don’t even read much but I be watching all of these recommendations like
I'd love a summer themed video where you read books classed as "beach reads"
Jack you should try reading every book Audrey reds in Gossip Girl
