Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kendall Jenner publicly post her "to read" list on her insta after people got interested in the photos she had that had books in them? I can understand the discomfort if other people made a "Kendall read these books" list on their own and critiqued them, but when you post a list of books you recommend for to share publicly to interested people on instagram it comes off as such a weird thing to complain about. You put the list expecting people will read the books and assumingly knowing they will have differing opinions because everyone has different tastes. The video wasn't critiquing her taste in books, it was simply critiquing the books themselves, which is bound to happen. Would she be saying the same thing if Jack loved every single book?

To be the devil's advocate here, the video title for the Kendall Jenner book recommendations is "I read every book Kendall Jenner has recommended on Instagram and her taste is... questionable," which is a clear judgment on her personal taste. I'm not saying Jack was wrong not to like the books or make these kinds of videos (I, like many others, love them), but Kendall is not entirely wrong in her remark either.

Not Kendall calling out a KZreadr whose channel literally consists of book reviews to "mind his business" when she's the one who put out those books in display. I bet she wouldn't say "mind your business" if only Jack praised her taste in literature.

It's crazy to think about this with any other profession. Like, imagine following a chef home and demanding that he cook you another meal because that's his job and you've paid to go to their restaurant so that means that they should expect to cook at a moment's notice. A celebrity being an entertainer or model doesn't mean they can't read a book in a park without any privacy. Yes it's a side effect, and i don't necessarily pity her, but to act like we're entitled to stalk her when she leaves her house and she has no right to complain at all is just a weird mentality to have and to try and justify. Not that you specifically are doing the stalking or are advocating for it, but saying someone can't complain about not having privacy because of their occupation is weird to me.

Kendall Jenner only wanted to stir the pot and she should be the one to keep her nose out of this channel. Jack is not bothering anyone by sharing his opinion about the books that celebrities read, in fact this section brings us closer to the artists' work such as the Taylor Swift videos. It gives depth to what celebrities have in mind, catches their attention and is their philosophy in life. Also Jack is being honest and is okay if he doesn't like the same books as her. Plus, if Kendall is super concerned maybe we should all just keep our hands away even from writing negative reviews about the books she likes (although we didn't) even from Goodreads because poor her, her taste in books is being questioned by a bunch of random strangers on the internet (/sarcasm).

She literally just said "what i like to read is personal to me and isnt for anybody else" and you wrote a think piece on how she has no right to be upset even though she never said she was. Weird

​@@3vivk You know what's really weird? All the comments you're posting trying to excuse her. Not only are you replying to me but also to a lot of viewers who don't agree with you. Either you're seeking for some attention that, besides this reply, I refuse to give you or you're a very young person who needs to understand that a lot of people will not agree with the Kardashians and we have all the right in the world, including Jack, to have an opinion about their questionable taste in books. If Kendall thinks that her book choices are "personal to her" then she should have never made them public in the first place. She could have kept a personal reading journal instead.

@@RebeDrawsStuff I'm allowed to express my opinions to you and everybody else. You posted a comment publically on a public video, so by your own logic, you are seeking attention and shouldn't be so upset when someone disagrees with you. I also never said in any of my comments that nobody is allowed to disagree or dislike the Kardashians. I just find it strange that people are twisting one small sentence she said about her taste being personal to her and not for anybody but her to make it seem like she's personally attacking everybody who doesn't like the books she likes. I just think you misunderstood what she said and hold a different point of view than you do, and ironically, you're doing exactly what you accuse Kendall of doing. Kinda funny

@@idknanmolla1710 that's fair, but people are acting like she's done a horrendous horrible thing. Sure, she was being defensive. If I were to post publically my favorite books and someone made a post saying "____'s taste is bad" I can't say I wouldn't be just as upset by it, even though I invited criticism for posting it publicly. I think that's normal. And Jack laughed about it in the beginning and end of his video, so I don't think he's offended. So I just find it strange that so many people are super fixated on this one thing she said as if she's a monster for it. IMO there are so many ligitimate things we could criticize the Kardashian/Jenners for. Like their exploitation of cheep labor, cultural appropriation, and stealing from smaller creators. I feel like making every single thing they say and do a huge deal diminishes the fair criticism they get on the important stuff. If me making a meme makes thousands of people hate and say horrible things about me why would I listen when something supposedly actually bad happens? They both elicit the exact same response. I don't think we can blame them for being out of touch when we make every little thing such a big deal.

I LOVE RILKE!! and the letters to a young poet is my first read from him. it's made me feel good to know that andrew referred to it as a textbook because it really has a lot of lessons you can apply in your life as an artist. thank you, jack!! looking forward to you reading more of rilke's works!

I’m sorry but Kendall Jenner’s reaction is so ridiculous. I understand the boundary element but you can’t have your cake and eat it. If everyone loved what she was reading would she reacted the same way? No, I don’t think so. When she wears a certain brand and other people see it and buy it or when people make videos about how to dress like her, she doesn’t start “it’s none of your business what I wear” does she? It’s so off putting when people get so worked up over other people’s disagreements.

You make a great argument with the fashion point, I didn't think of it that way, The way I took her comment was, "What I enjoy reading is personal to me, and I don't do it for anybody else." Which I personally think is fair. If someone said they didn't like something I did I would probably say something in the same vein. Yeah, it may come from a defensive place, because if they did like her books she wouldn't have said anything, but I don't think being defensive is always bad. She wasn't attacking him said she was mad that he didn't like what she liked, she just said that it doesn't matter to her if he likes her favorite books or not.

I like what you said about not needing to relate to or like a character to want to read the story. It relieves some of the pressure almost

One of the most beautiful things about reading a book is to share so you can talk about it and through someone else's eyes. I love the way you review the books with humor and passion! Please never stop this series of celebs recomendations!!

the euphoria ref at the beginning tho >>

Letters to a young poet is such an incredible book. I have tabbed the hell out of it

oh my god, i love Mary Oliver. it makes me so happy that you’re reviewing one of her collections. id personally recommend Dog Songs or A Thousand Mornings next if you want more of her work! edit: coming back, id also recommend Why I Wake Early. that’s the first poetry collection i read by her, and it’s got a special place in my heart

I absolutely love this series. I’ve recently gotten back into reading and something I appreciate about Jack’s videos is his honesty and ability to critique books beyond “it was good/ bad” it’s something I never really thought about and I assumed I had an obligation to just like every book I read, but I’ve really loved listening to Jack talk about various books and honestly it’s helped me be a better reader ( because I’m not as afraid to say the things I feel work/ don’t really work for me about a story). Also it’s just good fun to watch ❤️- Kira

I love these celebrity book club videos so much!!! Please never stop doing them lol! And some of you may have heard but we actually have an online community with over 1,100 of us! We have a 📚BOOK CLUB📚 and are holding our first BYOB call tomorrow inspired by the IG lives! 📚😎 (details in replies)

“Humility is the prize of the leaf-world. Vain-glory is the bane of us, the humans.” is such a beautiful quote 👏🏽

I’ve read Ocean Vuong’s poem “Aubade with Burning City”, but not his debut novel. Now I’m super excited because of you, Jack!

I really like your new transitions of the quote and then closing the book. Gives me Wes Anderson vibes ✨

Do Bo Burnham and Hozier please !! Love this series of yours.

Ocean Vuong is my favourite writer and I funnily enough first heard of his work through an interview (I think he was talking about toxic masculinity and violence in America). Like Andrew, I also just wept the entire time. He has such an incredible way with words that just moves me to tears like nobody else. I think I've read his poetry collection four times now and it never gets old. Also: Ocean Vuong shared the article you mentioned on his Instagram story awhile back and said he'd gladly be Andrew's wife ahaha it's the best and most unexpected internet moment

“Andy G” and “Peter Park-it” are some of the most majestic things I’ve ever heard

These are my absolute favorite videos! Keep doing celebrity book recommendations

You elevate my reading experience. I enjoy these vlogs as much as I enjoy reading the books you critic.

I'm so glad I found this today. I listened to the On Being interview with Ocean Vuong and also cried my eyes out. I lost a friend to an overdose, probably intentional, a year ago this week, and hearing him talk about his own reckoning with a suicide of a loved one helped me find some new words for my grief. Didn't expect to cry at work in a tax office today, but I'll take it over numb disbelief. ❤️

Ohhhh, these are ALL my favorite writers. I've read a lot of Oliver and Rilke's poetry, now time to seek out their other works. Thank you Andrew Garfield (and Jack) for never disappointing.

The amount of books I add to my tbr every time I watch your videos is insane but you describe them in a way that’s it’s impossible to not want to read them

I am a simple person: I see Jack post a new video I click

I'm so here for Andrew Garfield finally getting the attention and love he deserves!

Thank you so much for making this video!! And honestly, Catcher in the Rye is one of those things where I think the reason that you like the book is the determination of if it's a red flag or not. Some guys very clearly do not understand what Salinger was doing, but some do! Honestly, I need to read all of these (and reread Catcher in the Rye) now!

I really love how the aspect ratio changes when the dialogue intensifies.

I've read Catcher in the Rye more times than any other book. I loved it at 14 and I love it at 55. It's my all time favorite.

Same! Well I'm 26... but I'm pretty optimistic that I'll always love that book.

I remember in one of their interviews for spiderman Emma Stone said Andrew recommended to everyone he met to read Letters To A Young Poet and I just got to read it recently and it is my favorite book now

Your review on Catcher in the rye was PERFECT, I've never seen anyone describe it so well!

Great video as always! Love Andrew so this was awesome :)) i appreciated your commentary on catcher in the rye because I’ve always found it a fascinating insight into a psyche not necessarily like my own or relatable yet raw and human and thus very gripping to read

NAUR NOT KENDALL CALLING U OUT OMG

I adore you, Jack, truly. I think your gushing over books is refreshing, and I wish more people were readers. Sometimes, I wish you'd read and review just...trash books. Not like legit books you tear apart because you hate them, but like...shifter romance novels, bumbling office worker turned bond recovery agent, something just...trash, but fun that people read casually just for fun. I'd love to hear your take on those kinds of books.

“Is this play about us?” 🤣 I lost it 🤣

I absolutely love this series! And may I just say that your bedroom style is beautiful!!

I LOVE ANDREW GARFIELD, I LOVE BOOKS AND I LOVE THIS VIDEO ❤ i will also definitely be adding all of these books to my tbr hehee :)

Spider-Man reading catcher in the rye sounds very on brand fr fr

“You know what? I should… will I? No … welcome back to the celebrity book club”

Loved the video ✨ Feel free to do a part two of some of the celebrities you’ve covered. Would love to see that 🥰

the minute I saw “letter to a young poet” i paused the video in shock. I read that book two years ago, and I loved it so much that I got it on my shelf. It’s outstanding, in every which way possible. truly a work of art.

Hey jack! Thankyou for the regular uploads, excited to watch this video🥳

Still really hoping you do a video on the rest of Salinger's work, because his writing style and the way that the books interweave is incredible! Great video as always x

franny& zooey changed the trajectory of my life.

I’m so glad you got to read Mary Oliver!!! I seriously adore and worship her. Woman is an absolute genius and definitely one of the best of humanity. The wonderful thing is that she’s published so many works that you can just binge them all if you’re in the mood for it. My favorites by her are American Primitive (for which she won the Pulitzer Prize), Dream Work (kind of a sister/sequel to American primitive), Evidence, and Devotions (her last published book before she died)

i wanna see you do “reading the books before watching the shows”

You have to read books written by authors from Quebec! I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what you think of them and our literature! Keep up the good work, your videos are amazing💛

what a wonderful video jack!! i love your celebrity book club videos, and this one really has it all. made me love andrew garfield even more
