"When I obsess over something, I'll allow it to ruin my life" he's just like me fr

[@hugendubel]

This. 💯

[@laraschumacher2120]

real

[@user-wm2fv3sp3x]

This is me.

Allowing it to engulf me.

[@emilyonizuka4698]

I love that he's a musician for book nerds

[@tmerk4292]

😂 I never thought of it like that but i think it does take a bookish type of person to fully appreciate his lyrics

[@Ariel_is_a_dreamer]

Now we gotta get Jack Edwards to analize his book taste

[@Magic12Immortality]

I was looking for this comment 😂

[@indigoslife1202]

I wrote a comment in one of his videos and asked him to do it! I hope hw reads it!🤞

[@maguisfilm5747]

You don't understand, i need this!

[@BaileeWalsh]

uncarley read some of his favorite books a couple years ago and did a video!

[@alalehfarahmand6306]

​@BaileeWalsh omg I miss carly's book videos. I wish she would made more book content.

"I'm not a 'good' reader"...proceeds to whip out a bunch of intricate and influential classics that I couldn't handle outside of a classroom...

[@jahnar4964]

"I walk into a bookstore intending to buy one book and walk out with seven..." He's just like me FR

[@CrisSelene]

That's why I stay away from bookstores. My wallet cannot handle my vice of buying every book that looks interesting (even though I don't have time to read any of them)

[@meganm8947]

One of us ❤

[@musiclover-cu5jy]

He refers to himself as 'a college dropout' and is so much more reflective, erudite, and effectively analytical than any professor I've ever had. Apparently, you can fall head over heels for someone just by hearing him describe the contents of his book bag. He is a rare and beautiful being.

[@charlotte9850]

Books in order of mention: Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde Metamorphoses by Ovid Ulysses by James Joyce 1984 by George Orwell

[@hillsoffire]

thank you

[@coralkohn]

Thank you!

[@naomm8832]

it`s a high form of art how he manages to weave references from classic literature into his songs and how he does it so beautifully and understandable for everyone

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

"When I'm obsessed over something, I'll allow it to ruin my life". Word. Preach

[@anna._olsen_]

me, but with unreal unearth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@katahoffmann6187]

"with a tool like a wrench or a hammer you can build a house or you can smash a skull" i love his dark associations

[@thewaffleironn]

“It’s in the brickwork of my head” WOW what a line

[@hnc52]

He had me at "Im not a fan of Kindles".

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

"The work is finished by the listener. " omg, where is my notebook

[@Dabednego]

I like how in this case "booketlist" is a pun on this being a LIST of books AND close to how Hozier would actually say "Bucketlist"

[@ambreenali.]

Hozier's intellect never ceases to amaze me. The novel he found difficult to read (Ulysses by James Joyce) is actually considered to be one of the toughest one's to read since it's written in stream of consciousness which can sometimes be quite tricky to understand. Hozier's reading list is top tier ❤

[@juliangross3192]

just the last chapter is stream of consciousness though

[@crystalp7242]

If you *haven’t* had trouble reading “Ulysses”, are you really a reader? 😂

[@Jayveel]

Having a similar book collection to Hozier gives me comfort that I’m on the right track as a man. What a role model

[@dapawta]

So glad to see Hozier's take on 1984. Delighted to know it's focused in anti-war and anti-imperialist sentiment

[@user-uk4zv5iq3s]

I was lucky enough to once talk about a particular book with him and it amazed me that he read it and knew so much about it! Glad that he is a book worm too!

[@zelbernil3790]

which book? you are so lucky 🥺

[@Gray1995.]

I am so jealous and happy for you

[@megjulia4007]

Classic literature and beautiful music are my two truest loves - thanks Hozier for feeding my soul

[@hollybxoxoxo]

this video could be 15 hours long and I'd watch every second twice over

[@hugendubel]

Maybe we should release the uncut version...

[@kaylawilson1204]

Ulysses by James Joyce is SUCH a challenge. But I had a really good professor who spent 20 years of his career disecting the work and made it really rewarding to read.

[@jimmcmanus3899]

David Norris?

[@wonderwoman5528]

What is your favourite chapter and why? :)

[@connieconway244]

No wonder I love his music, he is intelligent, articulate, sensitive and the opposite of superficial

[@thinking102]

That's it, he speaks directly to those of us similar and in that similarity we find alot of comfort, especially in today's world, knowing that we are not alone with the feelings we have. There's a good interview with Zane Lowe where they speak on feelings more, you might enjoy that.

[@sam6864]

I feel like i should be taking notes whenever he talks

[@nikajung3398]

Vielen, vielen Dank für dieses Video! Ihm zuzuhören ist immer wieder ein Segen für meine Ohren

[@phoebeel]

He's like the male version of Florence Welch. She reads a lot of classic female authors and let's their works inform her songs. The both of them are like yin and yang

[@nessiemour4750]

Except without the racism

[@strega0]

"If I obsess over something, I'll allow it to ruin my life..." Yes, like how I spent the wee hours of the morning trying to understand the De Selby music video. XD This man gets me. :D :D :D

[@ht6743]

Just some everyday light reading lol. Hozier is a boss. Mad respect.😎

[@wald-prinz]

Vielen Dank für den Beitrag! Mich hat schon länger mal interessiert was seine Empfehlungen sind und er ist auch einfach als Person so ein Schatz

[@indigoslife1202]

Just because of Hozier, I'm forcing myself to read 'Ulysses', which I had pushed for a long time. I read somewhere that if you want to read 'Ulysses' first you need to read: 1. Hamlet 2. Odyssey 3. The dubliners 4. Chamber music 5. The portrait of a young man.. And 6. Dante's Inferno So after having read 1 and 2, I read 'The dubliners' and I'm resding the rest now.😅

[@amidthechaoss]

I love how he has been wearing the same jacket over and over. A man who lives his principles. Love him so much ❤️

[@lynnmaxwell7431]

1984 is a favorite. I was so sad that Winston did not make it. It was so disappointing for me to see that. I can see that Hozier is well read. He uses such lovely vocabulary in his music, and so many meaningful images come to light through his music.

[@Blackstarr80]

4:51 That's incredible, an incredible way of seeing it, wow. By the way, his Ulysses copy is gorgeous

[@maggiebodek]

Oh Hozier, can I love you more? Probably, the next time I hear you. Thank you for this lovely visit.

[@andimitchell89]

Beautifully shared. Thank you!

[@hannahlouise5578]

watch me go out and read all of these now 😭

[@findmeintheorangegrove]

I adore the fact he's read Ovid. What a beautiful, reflective man

[@LaFou06]

What stunning editions!

[@whitedress9552]

this man is different. i can't even describe HOW friggin much i love him.

[@thirsa7415]

i could listen to him talk for hours, also i wanna know more about the poetry 👀

[@zelbernil3790]

he has hours of poetry lives on his instagram

[@maureenagnes6675]

Loved watching this and all the book recomendations.

[@LilTheLah]

Very nice selection of books! Some of them are favourites of mine too.

[@birgitfujer6089]

Thanks for that, got all of them except this Oscar Wilde one. Ulysses is sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read.

[@Lisa-qt4hh]

The Oscar Wilde fairytales are lovely ❤ would definitely recommend you to read them if you are into the genre. You probably will like it if you like hozier's music, lyrics, and the themes he focuses on 😊

[@leonieh.8820]

Machen wir das Intro nur deswegen? Maybe!

@JackEdwards I am begging you to read Hozier’s favorite books

[@MargaretPinard]

Is it really Booketlist? Or Bucket List in Hozier's Irish accent?

[@Blasfeminin]

Very out of context, but does anyone know where the book bag is from? I have the same one myself, my dad bought it from one of his travels and has forgotten where he found it. A schoolmate had one too but also did not remember where it was from. And now i see i share the same canvas bag as hozier and i’ve become even more desperate to know its origin :,)

[@hugendubel]

That is our very own Hugendubel tote bag!

[@ari.playlists]

i wonder if he’s read animal farm, it’s another george orwell novel. It’s fantastic.

[@rachelvogel7182]

"with a tool like a wrench or hammer, you can build a house or smash a skull" BRUH

[@annehannigan4884]

He has a neutral Irish accent, sort of middle class On his cd his accent is definitely a created Irish accent...

[@errrrrrr-]

I read 1984 when I was 15 as well. It's so uncomfortably good and very very unhealthy for a chronical overthinker/deepthinker.

[@bellam9215]

[@larapaulyn1488]

me, about to get these books after telling myself no more books for the next 2 months ... 🤡🤡

[@gideongrace1977]

Okay, but what I wonder is, after having watched several of these and in every one the person asked pretends their favorites are all classics... Is that a media training thing that the celebrities are doing or did the company doing the interviews make them do it? And either way, why? Because I know there's no way that's everyone's real reading taste. That every famous person asked is really the guy who actually reads classics.

[@Jess-wt8bj]

i mean, idk about the others, but Hozier really is the guy who reads classics, he mentions them all the time and has for his entire career.

[@carolinavanderlande4904]

Idk about the others but Hozier has always referenced classic literature in his songs. He even just released a whole album around the concept of Dante’s 9 circles of hell. So this is definately not a pr stunt. You can also tell by the way he talks about them.
