Okay!! So I don’t comment at all. Ever. I recently discovered you and I am bingeing all of your content. Every single time I watch a video by you (until now that is) I yell at you (well at my poor phone) to read Amitav Ghosh. It brings me immense joy to see that you have discovered him already.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is my favourite book of all time (so far). Honestly opens your eyes to the struggles of inequality in other cultures

[@Fandomstoleme]

Lolita. It was an entirely new style for me. The author walked such a fine line, expressing through a heavily flawed protagonist, it made me realise how human the monsters are, which was terrifying. And it made me really appreciate the skill that the author must possess.

[@beththornton]

I recently read ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’!! such an amazing book, I can’t recommend it enough! really opens your eyes to different religions and culture

[@ceci9570]

It is sooooo beautiful

[@anirlarchivist]

i think the cool thing about being a literature student in a country like south africa is the fact that i 1. have multiple black lecturers 2. we have read so many books that aren't eurocentric. brilliant works, like "purple hibiscus" (also by adichie), "kindred" - octavia butler, "who fears death" - nnedi okorafor. and we also study black modernism, the harlem renaissance ect.

I just finished it today, and it was truely amazing. And it gave me a deeper understanding of the struggles lgbtqai+ folks had to overcome. I've known that before but the shame and fear they had to go through hit me unexpectedly. I'm also a member of the community and even though I struggle with accepting myself and living my truth it's been a totally different situation back then. This book truly opened my eyes.

[@matteo5399]

@@magle200 so glad you liked it! And that moment at the end for me was truly what made this novel so poignant - David finally leaves the private spaces he hides within (Giovanni’s Room, his house in France, both metaphorical closets) and finally engaged with the social order outside - queer people can’t live in isolation from heteronormative society, but must make themselves known to, and engage with that society if they are to ever be accepted

Everyone else: Percy Jackson got me into greek mythology. Jack: goes straight for Ovid :):):) (Also, love your content)

[@Citi_lightss]

I would mention two distinct books 'Metamorphosis' and 'Voyagers of hell'. Though they belong to two different generes they both tell the tale of humans fall into disgrace and struggle to rise from there. Both the books changed my perspective towards life.

[@klatskyn]

I've recommended these already on another one of your videos, but two of the books that have moved me deeply on an essential level are Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami and The Secret History by Donna Tartt. But ... also other books by those authors. They both have wonderful voices, and they're introspective as well as intriguing.

[@Rebecca-mf7ul]

The books that changed my life - A Room Of One’s Own (Virginia woolf), The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath) Ariel (Sylvia Plath, basically anything by Sylvia Plath, The Collected Dorothy Parker, the Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck) A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess) and Lolita (Nabokov) :))

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara impacted me more than any book I’ve ever read. I cannot recommend it enough.

[@klatskyn]

This is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. I finished it two months ago and I can not stop thinking about it.

[@MsLivinglegend19]

The Hungry Tide is such a beautiful book ❤️ as a fellow English Lit student, I’d also recommend The God of Small Things - we had to read both for class and they both impacted and moved me so much :)

Hey Jack! 3rd year here... The books which have made an impact on me: Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman about a dystopian world where the races are swapped seen through a love story, Persopolis by Marjane Satrapi (more of a comic book) autobiographical about growing up during the Iranian Revolution. These have stayed with me 💭 Thanks

[@tyler-jayanthony9225]

I've read noughts and crosses too! My all time favourite book!

[@abbys5484]

'This is Going to Hurt' by Adam Kay had a huge impact on me. I spend quite a bit of my time in hospital and without the NHS I just wouldn't have the care I need. But the NHS and its system is broken, every week something will go wrong with my care, a med isn't available, a consultant won't write a letter, a scan is 2 months away rather than 2 weeks, or a referral bounces because I live at least 2 hours away from any of the tertiary care hospitals. This book reminded me that the doctors and nurses that care for me are doing what they can with what they have, they just don't have the support they need from the government to be able to do anything more which made the GE result in December even more heartbreaking.

[@drewokeeffe8524]

The book thief! I read it while at school and since, my perspective towards the world and others has been broadened - I also loved the idea that it was narrated by death himself

[@morganlahm9381]

I so agree with the Animal Farm one. I was going to have to read it my freshman year of high school if covid didn't hit but my teacher still gave it to us anyways and I read it during quarantine while I was also doing online school. Let me just say, that book made my jaw absolutely drop. I can't describe how it made me feel but it was incredibly ruthless.

[@gailsgrandplan3561]

'Stiff ' by Mary Roach is one of my favourites. It's about what happens to bodies left to science and it's funny, touching, eye-opening, a really easy read and I promise that it will make you look at your body and what happens after death in ways you have probably not thought about before.

[@lizzie-kl4us]

I always find lists like this so interesting, hearing about what has influenced someone else's life/reading habits - for instance, I totally get Jack's reasons for loving Brighton Rock, but I just read it and really hated it! On the other hand, the metamorphoses would absolutely be on my list as well (my degree is classics and English and Ovid is 100% a big reason for that!)

It's been many years since I was a student, but I agree with you about "To the Lighthouse." I felt such a clear, heightened sense of the world - persons and landscape - at first it seems "ordinary" but Woolf's every choice of word builds the feeling she means to convey.

[@livvyjones1105]

Beloved by Toni Morrison is definitely up on my list of books that’s changed by life. I chose to study it alongside my given play of Medea for my A-Level coursework and enjoyed it from the moment I started reading it.

i’ve tried to read “to the lighthouse” once and i just couldn’t finish it. sadly. i feel like this is a masterpiece that i can’t decipher. i don’t understand it in general and i really would like to. that’s why it is still on me bookshelf and someday i’ll try again.

[@Jill-ed7ev]

I'm a tad late but I just wanted to say that as an English Language and Culture student, I often find there's a discrepancy between recognising a good book and enjoying reading it. Virginia Woolf has a very particular style which was revolutionary at the time and has some really interesting thoughts behind why she wrote her stories the way she did. That being said, I absolutely HATED reading Mrs. Dalloway. I only started to appreciate it when my teacher pointed out specific sections and guided us through it with pointed questions. I absolutely wouldn't have been able to appreciate the story for what it is without someone helping me along. You can recognize a novel to be a masterpiece and hate reading it at the same time. I don't like reading Virginia Woolf. She absolutely was a terrific writer and her books are rightfully being taught in classes for being revolutionary. They just aren't for me.

[@gloriareis792]

The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon - I only read it a few months ago, but oh my gosh, it’s massively altered my perception of migration. It’s written in Creole, which although being difficult to get into at first, offered a completely new way of learning about another culture.

Brilliant work, thank you. I'll definitely put Vile Bodies on my reading list. Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell was a very significant book for me. I read it when I was 16 and spending a semester in a boarding school in France. I was very quiet and not very good at French... I found myself in a strange mix of sadness and contentment, and this book really spoke to me. That was 21 years ago and I still remember how special it felt to find this story at a time when I felt alone. All the best, Maeve in Ireland

[@eeenyc5959]

Ever since I had to translate parts of metamorphosis by Ovid I have absolutely no interest to look at the book again. Anyway the books that changed my life are Crime and Punishment by Dostojewski, Alle Toten fliegen hoch by Joachim Meyerhoff and Rhinocéros by Eugene Ionesco

[@emilydevry]

I have too many books that have shaped my life to count, but a special mention to one childhood book that changed my life: George's Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl- He creates such whimsical stories that don't follow the "rules" of real life, which is very exciting and freeing for children. I love all of his books, but this one was the first one I ever read from him. My teacher actually read it out loud to the class, and I remember just being hooked. It made me realize that life doesn't always have to be one way, and you don't have to be perfectly good- because in the story George is deliciously bad! I also loved (and still do love) everything by Roald Dahl, especially The Twits, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda.

The book that changed my life and world view is a clockwork Orange it made me think deeply about human nature and impulse and what they actually mean

[@casie6609]

The Handmaid's Tale was made into a series and the adaptation is amazing. I have no words. I read the books after watching the series. They're really great and almost everything is the same, but it's probably the only time I can say I preferred the movies over the book. Also, the second book, The Testaments, is one of my favorites. I prefer it to the first even though the first is the foundation to everything. The way they made the series is just impeccable and I've rewatched it at least 4 times now, and cried a lot. I recommend it to anyone, even though most people probably don't know about it. 💙

[@blackcats2003]

A book that changed my life is Everything Everything. It is about love and how love will prevail and will always win. Like nothing with stop love, even Munchousen? By Proxy and how mental health really effect the life of not only the person who has it but also the people around them.

[@lostinwonderart]

My all-time favorite books is Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. Hear me out. Aside from the action and attached movies, it’s truly a cautionary story about how far is too far to push science, and responsibilities when some smashes open a Pandora’s box of science advancement. And, with Nedry, it’s explained more in the book why he was motivated to do what he did. Spoiler…. He did a quote for his job, did the job, and Hammond kept making him return to the island to do more and more work for no more at no more pay. So, it’s quite a commentary on where we’re at now with people demanding fair wages and being treated better by managers and companies.

It's crazy watching this sorta video for me, and your channel as a whole I guess. I remember spending every day studying and thinking, contemplating things, understanding perspectives and meanings. I then left education for the real world, and I'm washing tea pots, cooking sausage roles and making coffees. Watching this reminds me of how much I miss reading and understanding things, but at the same time how much the time and space to do such things is only available in somewhat of a fallasy - with student finance and a university structure around you, removing the every day realities of rent, bills, council tax, insurance etc. And now I'm sat here contemplating the education system 😂.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reed, because not only is it the most immersive book I've ever read, but it feels like I can now view society throughout the 20th century in multiple different ways, from completely opposing perspectives, and see first hand the damaging affects of prejudice and the advantages and disadvantages of "beauty". In addition, it shone a new light on how the public and even the media can be manipulated, or influenced.

If you've read Taking Up Space and liked the thought-provoking aspect of it, I'd recommend going to see Fairview in theatres if you haven't already!
