I'm also impressed that there are so many English books in the apartment. And great books too. Yes, Jack reads fast. However don't let that make you reflect on your own reading skills/speed. The speed of reading does not mean "better reader" I'm a reading teacher for dyslexics and the goal is to comprehend what you are reading. A slower reading (and writing) speed is NO REFLECTION on one's intelligence. So while it is impressive that a person can read many books in a certain time frame, it is also impressive that anyone can read considering that the human brain did not evolve to read the written word. It is an amazing feat regardless of speed. These videos are fun as Jack is a cutie. I can say that because I have a son just 2 years younger. ;)

Hi Jack! I’ve started watching your content for the first time recently. I actually came from your KZreadr books videos and I think they’re really funny and I really like your content! You actually inspired me to get a little more into reading and I think you should start a blog where you review some of, if not most of the books you read. Just a suggestion, and I don’t really know how often you read comments but I just wanted to say keep up the good work!

About the book about the Canadian girl living in Tokyo: her mocking Japanese people's English and non-native speakers in general is unfortunately EXTREMELY ACCURATE. I came to uni in the UK from abroad and part of my degree included a year abroad in Japan, and A LOT of my English-natives acquaintances would make fun of the way Japanese people spoke English despite the fact that we literally study Japanese at uni and are supposed to know more about the country and like it enough to spend a year there. Not to mention that we were studying Japanese so we should have been immersing ourselves in the language rather than encourage our Japanese friends to speak English to us just to laugh at them afterwards. Of course I am not a native speaker either, and although I have experienced some mocking because of it, it was never as bad. Then I realised: Brits will give you a pass as long as they find your accent 'cute' and as long as you're white-passing.

Hi! I know you are recommended a ton of books but you may enjoy Confessions by Jaume Cabré, a Catalan author. It's just magnificent, with such an gorgeous style of writing and a beautiful story

I really like your videos they always introduce me to new books and the fact that you tell honest reviews yeah Thank you!! 😊😊💜💜💜💜

24 hours reading in Paris sounds like the most romantic thing. Especially had you gone outside, maybe gone to a café. Maybe next challenge!!
