    Both Hank's book and my baby were due out today. I've just finished AART in one sitting, but I haven't gone in to labour. I think what I'm trying to say is, well done Hank, the book is excellent, and you've won in the due-out-September-25th competition

    They are indeed purple
    But one thing you've missed
    The concept of 'purple'
    Didn't always exist
    Some cultures lack names
    For colors you see
    Hence good old Homer
    And his "wine-dark sea"
    A usage so quaint
    A phrasing so old
    For verses of romance
    Is sheer fucking gold
    So roses are red
    Violets were once called blue
    I'm hugely pedantic
    But what else is new?

    Ok so I spent the better part of today reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing and just finished. I will be honest. Nearly 100% of the reason I preordered the book and read it was because it was written by Hank and I just wanted to read his first book. I actually had little expectation of it being something I would like anywhere near as much as I do. I consume media almost constantly. Movies, books, shows, and songs. I do it because, as I've found, 99 percent is enjoyable garbage that I can't consume to no end, but every great once in a while I find something that I am completely convinced is Art. Not some piece of art. But Art. Something that I consume and find true and absolute beauty in. This book is one of those things. I was absolutely captured from beginning to end. The amount that I related to and the thought that this book invoked is astonishing. I felt so many emotions as I listened(audible) and felt them strongly. It is a true work of art that offers such a current, vivid, and insightful view of not only fame but the way that human discourse and communication in our world works. I just want to thank Hank for the experience.

      Ammalyrical basically.

      It's a little softer in Scots English
      But now I'm just splitting hairs.

    I used to watch you and Hank back in 2007 when I was 12(going on 13) and freshly in Jr. High. You guys helped me through so much, showing me a community that was unbelievably supportive and wonderful. I am, and will always be a Nerdfighter. From needfightaria of course. After 2010 I stopped watching, due to my obligatory rebellious high school days/dark segment of my life. During that time I was youtubeless and very depressed. In early 2013 after multiple heartaches( 2 family deaths, and a breakup) I found my way back into TH-cam, reconnecting with all the old(and new) loves of TH-cam. I regrettingly forgot about the vlogbrothers, until about last year.
    Anyways, just wanted to say I’m back and I’m so happy to be a part of this community again.
    John as always, great video.
    Hank, I’ll see you next time!

      @EmmaAus 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wow.... I think you're the first person I've come across who has almost the exact same timeline as me :-p Except our ages/reasoning was different.
      TH-cam was my world when I was 17/18 in 2008, right up until early 2011 when I went travelling long term... & thus didn't touch it until the very tail end of 2013 when I came back (just dipping my toes back in at first, coming back more so in 2015 although with not quite as much vigar, now that I had a life :-p Plus they removed the video reply function, & were doing that thing where you needed a Google plus account to comment)... Anyway, likewise initially went straight to re-adding my main old faves... Fortunately for me though, VlogBrothers were pretty much top of the list, so they didn't get forgotten 😊❤
      Seems like we did well though... all that abuse stuff that went down seems to have been in that window we were away... So TH-cam wasn't tainted for us like it was for some 😊
      All the best Meg, thanks for that mini trip down memory lane... Its nice to hear another person with a similar timeline (started 2007/08, left 2010/11, returned 2013). Hope life is treating you nicely 😊❤ Emma from Australia.

    These poems really made me happy! I appreciate because today when I woke up at 5.30am to go to work, I got a devastating e-mail saying that An Absolutely Remarkable Thing could not be shipped to me (I live in Chile) because, basically, I have no money. I thought I had money when I pre-ordered it, then I realized payment is made on the actual day that is Sept. 25th, but like
    Roses are red,
    John and Hank are splendidly uncanny,
    I wanted to read Hank's book, but today, I have no money
    CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST BOOK, HANK! Kudos to John for being the best brother Hank could have.

      On the topic of sew,
      Though I hate to sound formal,
      It's an interesting word
      'cus it's etymology's abnormal
      But if you need a word
      to rhyme with sew,
      Might I suggest:
      Flow, go, no, so or sow?

    Ordered it online this past weekend and was obscenely delighted to see the package on my dining table when I got back from work. Seeing all of Hank's videos describing the process of writing and publishing the book made me feel like I was getting to share in the joy of his accomplishment, and it made the purchase feel that much more meaningful.

    As someone who is currently having some panic about going alone into the city for the tour tonight (I've done it a few times before, including for the Turtles tour, but the build up never gets less harrowing) I really really needed this. Thank you John!
    (On a related side note I also wanted to thank you for including those little messages at the tour last year, especially for the "To Those Who Came Alone" message. As someone who had indeed come alone and who had a minor panic attack during the process, I came close to crying happy tears right before the show. Nerdfighteria is constantly helping me jump milestones I didn't know I was capable of, like driving to Boston by myself for Nerdcon, and that little bit recognition meant the world to me. Since then I've gotten much better at navigating NYC on my own and I owe a lot of it to you and to the amazing community you and Hank have created. So for your message and for helping me find my courage, thank you

    This is the second time Indigo has screwed me on this (last time being for Turtles). Guess I won't be pre-ordering from them anymore, since they can't see fit to fill pre-orders before their own shelves, defeating the entire purpose of pre-ordering. I'll have to find some other way to support you guys when your books are coming out.

    Considering that both of you are at least 25 years older than me, the fact that I feel so INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU when you achieve something like this is for me quite strange. I think it has to do with the amount of time I've been in this community now, around five years, that has made me believe somehow that I know you guys, even though I don't. Thanks for the amazing group of people that you help reunite day by day, and CONGRATULATIONS HANK ON THE BOOOKKKK!!!!!!!! kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷💙
