John Green & his youtube

Post by sarahnichole92 »

How many of you are aware that John Green and his brother have a youtube channel?

In fact, they have an entire community with it. I know a lot of you are huge fans of his books, so I didn't know if you would be interested in knowing what he does when he is not writing.

I would be too intimidated/ awe-struck to have beer with him :/ He is amazing.

I'm assuming you are a part of his community of nerdfighters :)

Or am I wrong?

Ha, I'm getting there but I haven't even read any of his books yet. Crazy, right? I checked out The Fault in Our Stars from my library this week and I plan on reading it this weekend :) I was holding off on reading it because I know the end is sad, but I need to read it.

I am obsessed with John Green and his books. I even have an app so every time he posts a new video I get it automatically. I am lucky because I live in the same state as him and he has had book signing's quite a few times around my home!
DFTBA!

Yes! I quite frequently watch his videos. I like to hook my phone into my car jack and listen to them while I drive. I enjoy the ones about obscure and random facts.

His youtube channel is absolutely hilarious. He also makes very nice points about big issues in the world. I enjoy hearing his opinions.

DFTBA!!!!!

I found him on youtube before I knew his was a written. After reading TFIOS I realized that he is really amazing. It would be great to meet him some day.

After I read TFiOS, I started looking at his videos. Oddly enough, I actually had heard of his brother, Hank Green! Since, he's the guy who created the 2D glasses for 3D movies. Needless to say, they are a very talented family and really inspiring! DFTBA

John Green's Crash Course videos were what got me through AP European History my sophomore year of high school.

I actually used his crash course video on Emily Dickinson when I was student teaching last semester. It went over really well with my junior kids.
