Jack's checklist to enjoy a piece of literature: - sadness - appreciation of ordinary things - suffering - heartbreak - a unique perspective on life - depression Hence, if there were a video named "reading YOUR favorite book recommendations", I would humbly recommend mine in advance: "Madonna in a Fur Coat" by Sabahattin Ali. I'm fortunate enough to read it in its original language (Turkish) but I'm sure the translation will also present its naive story in a captivating way. All the love!

I swear you're like the Bob Ross of reading. I love what you said about physical books containing two stories, that's why I buy most of my books used... I mean sure, it's nice that they're cheaper, but I more just love stumbling across someone else's (or multiple someones') old underlines, margin scribblings, or even just the random things they used as bookmarks--old receipts, play tickets... I even once found someone's pink slip between a book's pages, which was fascinating and depressing all at once. It's like taking a small peek into a stranger's soul, and maybe finding a small reflection of yourself in their notes as well.

Thank you for sharing these extracts Jack. I struggle to have the energy to read a whole book at times so this is really helpful to hear a little extract of brilliant writing so I can still be inspired by it. You've shown me the perfect book for a surprise gift for my brother, he loves Bojack Horseman. His birthday has just passed but I'll put it on my wishlist so I remember it for next time or just surprise him with it sometime in case I forget. Was that book mix-up a Freudian slip? It seems like books are that important to you! (I can't find it now to check what it said but I think it was something beautiful that I thought would fit you and books.)
