Hudson Williams has pretty good taste in books.

(And the internet is losing its mind about it.)

Hudson Williams, the Canadian sweetheart behind the smash hit Heated Rivalry, has pledged his allegiance to the English department. Your favorite hockey hunk is a reader, people. And we must say, the ice king’s got pretty good taste.

According to this close read lovingly assembled by a super-fan, Williams is rarely spotted without a book in his hand. He’s now name-checked multiple Joan Didion titles in interviews, and was once photographed next to a copy of Knausgaard’s My Struggle. His personal motto comes from Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables.

And according to Anna Tingley in Variety, fans are taking note. Sales and borrows of Williams’ favorite titles are up from coast to coast. “One librarian noted that Martyr! immediately grew a mounting waiting list after he posted about it on Instagram,” Tingley reported, “while bookstores across the country have created display tables dedicated to his recommendations.”
