@insense ??? This seems like a very negative comment. English literature refers to literature WRITTEN in the language of English, which American books are. Hence why of mice and men and other novels are often read within them. Even if you’re talking about CLASSICAL English literature Italian, Greek and American books are all accepted in the canon

"I think a book tells two stories. One is the story that is printed in black and white on the pages and the other is the story of you reading it and that's why I underline things, I fold down pages, I make my book messy because I like the idea that someone could pull a random book from my bookcase and it would show them the parts that I love and I hope that would give them an insight on the book but also to me and my mind.

One cool thing about East of Eden is the allusion of good and evil with names! All “A” names were examples of good and “C” names were examples of evil. (Representing Cain and Abel in Genesis of the Bible. Cain slayed his brother Abel and was cursed and outcast from the Garden of Eden. Hence “east” of Eden.) It’s definitely my favorite Steinbeck novel and I just recently reread it. 🥰

If you're talking about book videos, book videos have been thriving long before emma chamberlain started reading

I remember reading “East of Eden” when I was fourteen, (so, like, five years ago), just because I was obsessed (at the time) with James Dean (he was Cal in the movie adaptation of the book). I started reading it without expectations and completely unaware of how amazingly written the story was, but when I finished it I was completely in love with the beautiful way it was built. This is a must, in my opinion, for every book lover! (I’m really sorry for all the mistakes that I’m sure I made in this comment, but English is not my mother language)

I just wanna say thank you! Because you are the one who got me into reading and i end up having about 30 books and an empty wallet so, thanks jack. ✨ (All jokes aside, Love your celebrity books club reviews!)

the way I have that exact quote underlined in my copy of east of eden! I also think it was one of the first books that really got me into understanding and enjoying classics. I'd read a few before picking up east of eden but that book was just the one that made everything click for me and now I bloody love classics

I was unhinged too. As a child reading was my everything. Then at 10 I got a phone and kind of stopped. And then at 13, after not reading for 3 years and only having read childrens books, I picked up les misèrables, finished it, and fell in love with reading again. idk there was just some force keeping me going and I somehow got through the brick

The Razor's Edge is a wonderful book and it's so underrated!! Thanks Jack and Emma for putting this book back into the spotlight.

just bought the razor’s edge- so excited to read it bc of you!! would love vids about reading an author’s full body of work toni morrison, ursula le guin, etc. and a guide on where to start cause i sometimes get intimidated when a writer has more than like 5/6 books and don’t know which one to start with 🤣 but your rec is the only one i trust haha

the east of eden quote you shared was the tipping point that made me for sure add it to my TBR list. its very prevalent to this current stage of my life

Jack calling me “u lucky sausage” is what will make me win the lottery

I von the same copy of East of Eden. I bought it second hand 7 years ago and never got around to reading it. This is probably a sign to finally start. From your description it sounds a bit like Pachinko, which I loved.

I read The Razor's Edge in March and it's not only my favourite book so far this year, but one of my favourites of all time. I'm so happy you loved it too!

okay i just found ur channel but i’m already obsessed lol you’re so funny and genuine i’m rooting for u❤️ and congrats on a MILLION!!!

this vid better get you to 1 mil!! congrats in advance and thank you for being a huge inspiration, your content is IMMACULATE

What a beautiful idea to mark each book with your own favourite lines and pages for future visitors to whip out and see what the book meant to you. You’ve inspired me to do the same! I always feel guilty about dog-earing books but now you’ve empowered me

i have been waiting for this, thank you jack!!!

I’ve loved East of Eden since 9th grade (if you ever listened to Meg and Dia in tumblrs peak era, they have referenced the novel that set me on a really spectacular reading journey which also led me to reading several iterations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein). I highly recommend a reading list from famous song writers who have credited their music to specific novels

i read east of eden in the middle of my spring semester exam season; i was completely burnt out, not having much remaining brain power for the evenings yet i still managed to finish the book in like a week, it was beautiful and sooo engaging and easy to read for a classic yet masterfully written; it's exactly the perfect example of a book being for entertainment and learning/some very divine cause

Totally agree, her recommendations are unreal, and your reviews are the cherry on the cake!

I was wondering if you were going to make a video on the short list for the women’s prize? All of the books in the list are so great (especially the book of form and emptiness) and I was hoping you would make a video where you could read these novels and then possibly predict the winner? That’s all! Ilysm!

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP

I recently read East of Eden and you said almost everything (and more than) I thought and felt about it but I need to add that the ending ist just phenomal and breathtaking and maybe the best one out of the hundreds of books I've read

readinng is such a valueable habit I wish you keep it forever! yes, I would continue inspire people, just like you

i just read east of eden and it was AMAZING. seriously. i put off reading it for MONTHS and i finally read it a few days ago and i regret not reading it earlier. im 18 and i will DEFINITELY reread it every once in a while. this book will stay with me for life. Lee and Samuel were my favourtie character

i just watched emma’s reading video today and you post this i-

FINALLY someone talks about East of Eden, it has been my favorite book for ages and it's hardly ever mentioned in Booktube just because it's a classic. Best example of good literature I could think of.

I have wanted you to do this for forever

literally LOVE your videos! Would you be able to make a video about how to get back into loving reading!! just want some tips!! :)

I'm so glad you loved east of Eden! It's one of my absolute favorites and Cathy is one of the best characters I've ever read. She's so vivid and terrible and I've never seen a character written like her before.
