Carebears, Maureen Johnson, AND the love of libraries? Loved it.
1) this was posted on my sweet sixteen, on which I got many many books. I too have the random stacks
2) I would buy a bookcase but i have no where to put another one.
3) Does Maureen know that she has the exact same name as the girl in “Rent” and if so, how does that make her feel. It would make me feel kind of awesome
4)What does one do at a sharing party?
5)I’m sorry that I’m commenting on 5 month old vlogs.
6) My firefox spell checker is freaky and the first suggestion for every word is “com bust” I don’t even know what that means, but I though I’d share.
Today I got my wisdom teeth taken out. This got rid of the pain more than any Vicodin could.
You may think that you’ll never read The Care Bear book again, but if you decide to have kids–you will. I know because I’ve read that very book myself. Repeatedly. Last night, actually. Twice. When they had the sharing pary…everything just felt right again. Sigh. Oooohhh and there’s a movie version. It doesn’t really do the book justice…
Most movies fail to capture the true magic of the Care Bear World.
I believe the word you’re looking for is WiiBook! Genius!
Speaking of libraries..I can’t wait to go home so that I can go to my library and check out “An Abundance of Katherines.” I’ve been at school and haven’t been able to read it yet. Bummer. Have a great weekend!
I am jealous! I have An Abundance of Katherines on hold at the the library of the city I am currently in. But I am 12th in line, and there are only 3 copies. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to read it before I move in 2 months. And I can’t put on hold in the place I am moving back to because I have twenty dollars in fines (which isn’t characteristic of me, I swear, just this ONE TIME), so who knows when I’m going to get to read it. Maybe I should just go buy it.
you have a moral dilemma. or maybe not, but you can choose:
spend less than $20 to buy katherines
OR
spend less than $20 to buy katherines and pay your library fines, thus enabling you to check out a multitude of other fantastic books that you would never be able to buy for under $20
Consider yourself lucky! I had to get “looking for alaska” on interlibrary loan and I can’t get “An Abundance of Katherines” at all. I can’t even buy it where I live. The closest bookstore is two hours from me. It’s all very bothersome. Our library is a little weird in what they will order. They stock very little that might be considered “controversial” but they carry vast numbers of romance novels that are by far more frankly sexual in nature than the things that they refuse to carry. So…a road trip is in order if I want to read “An Abundance…”
There’s always ordering over the Internet!
John
The covenience of the Internet…I remember when people actually had to go places to do things. I suppose I’m showing my age a bit.
Hmm … did you notice that as soon as the Wii Controller (or, um … wind) turned the page, it flipped right back? (hehe)
I think you need to work out the kinks with the Wii Page Turner… great idea though.
And …
Maureen Johnson AND John Green? Two great authors together???
That’s awesome!
ps … why do you have a Care Bears book, by the way?
Just, ya know, out of curiousity.
Maureen is HOT.
I thought I was gonna be on today, though? and am plunged into the slough (sp?) of despond
Sadly, I, too , have read more Care Bear books than I can think about without feeling nauseated….
Maureen IS hot. And from E’s brief appearance in B2.0 last month, it appears that she is pretty smokin’, too. And we all know John is adorable. Come to think of it, I’ve seen Rachel Cohn & David Levithan read and they’re pretty foxy, too. So is there some rule that YA authors have to be cute? For god’s sake, isn’t being very talented enough for you people?!
Not that I’m jealous or anything.
I think the rule is if you are a YA author and you love in New York you have to be foxy, smokin’, hot or some combination of the three.
This rule does NOT apply to YA authors in Maine. How do I know? I live in Maine. I am writing YA and I am so, so far from smokin’. Sad, but true.
Oops. Not LOVE in New York. LIVE in New York.
It’s also a rule that people like me always fail to reread, and then notice things much, much too late. AGGGHHH!
I thought I was the only one who did that little (sp?) symbol after a possibly-misspelled word.
Cool.
Ahh, the video’s only working for the first 30 seconds for me! Sadness
Here’s hoping it’ll be better when I wake up in the morning.
Meamonkey - I think it will work if you try to reload and let it load longer? Youtube is a little slow today, but I can view the whole video. -John
hank is john.. john is hank. two have become one?
That would be a pretty awesome combination. Actually, when I first started watching the vlogs I found it really hard to tell John and Hank apart. Thinking back, I have no idea why, as they look utterly different. Perhaps my eyes are weak? All that staring at computer screens has ruined them.
The video is still refusing to work for me on here, but I watched it on my sister’s laptop, so all is right with my world again.
I love that Maureen was in this. She makes me giggle. That’s another thing, isn’t it? New York YA authors appear to not only be smokin’/hot/foxy, but funny in that quirky manner you just can’t learn. It would be depressing if it wasn’t so fun to bear witness to.
Next up; let’s see E. Lockhart! Squeep!
I guess they do end up sharing after all, rendering the title a lie and therefore BAD. I’m banning this book from libraries. And I DO have that power.
Can you ban my copy from afar?!?
DONE! Eat it, Care Bears.
You’re my hero
Had I but known she was going to be there ahead of time, I’d have raved about how much I adore 13 Little Blue Envelopes. Sigh.
I actually have 2 kids, and nary a Care Bear book. I consider that a good thing.
I love you guys’ video blog! I found it last night….and watched every single video in about 3 hours.
John- I just bought your book “Looking for Alaska” today. I can’t wait to read it!
You guys are hilarious, and remind me very much of my brothers.
Keep posting and Thanks for the many laughs! -Lizzie
I can’t watch these videos without cracking up.
Seriously.
I might have an addiction… is there a place for people like me? Say, a Brotherhood Anonymous Support Group?
I need to join a Brotherhood Anonymous Support Group too! Glad to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve even been forcing my addiction on others - constantly harassing them to check out the vlog. I guess you could cal me a Brotherhood 2.0… dealer?
Oh!
And also I finished reading ‘Looking for Alaska’ yesterday.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
So am I the only one who hunted for familiar book spines in the Tour De John’s Library?
The only ones I recognized were Blankets, and the ever-present Infinite Jest
Which makes me wonder: do you keep your books organized in any particular manner? Or do you just fill them up as they come along, with the new books matching with the new shelves?
Man, I’m getting philosophical here.
We pretty much books whereever they fit. Sometimes there will be a hint of organization, but only a hint. (For instance, to the left of Infinite Jest is David Foster Wallace’s “Oblivion” and his “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.” To its right, is Eggers’ “What Is the What,” a Zagat restaurant guide, “Portnoy’s Complaint,” and Harold Bloom’s “The Anxiety of Influence.” So whatever system I have breaks down within two or three books every time.
We used to have a brilliantly catalogued library, but no longer. Maybe we’ll redo it one day…
John,
Do you recommend the Egger’s book? I’m thinking of reading it when I get a chance?
What are the two green colored books next to your Mark Twain biography book? They kinda look like the Illustrated Classics of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer.
Do you have any books that you wished you never bought because they suck?
a couple of things:
sure you have the carebears book.. but do you have the fraggle rock set? (i always wanted a pet doozer)
and i was very happy when several of my friends were raving about this book they had just read.. something about blue envelopes. thirteen of them. and would i like to borrow it. it’s a liberrian’s dream come true.
and i want john’s magic floating bookshelf.
Hello, Maureen!
John, attach a tiny fan to the end of the Wii controller, and voila.
Oh, Maureen, you were fabulous! And I’m reading one of your fabulous books right now - DEVILISH.
John and Hank, more special guest appearances would be so fun! Not that you guys aren’t fun, because you are!!!!
I have a problem with throwing out books too. Or even trading them. It kinda seems like a sin…almost. Though, I do BUY used books, I just don’t sell the books back. Or any books at all. I need more bookshelves, but I also need a bigger room. I like the Wii idea, and you should so totally call Nintendo and get that ball rolling. That way reading is both a mental AND physical workout. Hm.
Please tell me that Meamonkey is Mikey…
nope. i believe she is a girl named amy. mikeo is mikey. see previous entry’s comments.
Meamonkey: I had the same problem but got around it by “forcing” it past the problem spot (dragging the little dot).
That doesn’t work, I tried it, but thanks for suggesting it
I watched it on a diff computer though, so it’s all good.
And to Emily, Katherine was right, I’m a girl. Called Amy. Yeah. Ho hum ^_^
I finally got the play a Wii this week (thanks, Danny Chow!) Lots of fun.
I think it is time to make another carebear movie. they are coming out with like the 50th Land before time movie its time they made more Carebears.
John,
I’m amazed how many books you got on Islam in your home library, which is really cool. Are you interested in Islam or just religions in particular? I also just some cool titles in case you are interested in getting more books on Islam, since I’m Muslim and all. Where did you get the one in the video? I’ve never heard of it.
Rummanah,
Yeah, I have several dozen books about Islam. It’s what I studied in college and for many years I reviewed books about Islam and the Islamic world for “Booklist” Magazine. (This is maybe why Hassan in “An Abundance of Katherines” is a Muslim, and why Miles learns about Islam some in the class taught by Dr. Hyde.)
The book I showed was published about ten years ago by Indiana University Press. It’s excellent, but has a very narrow focus (it’s only about Uzbeks and how they came to be Muslims).
And I’m also happy to receive recommendations, for me and for our viewers.
(For other viewers who made it to the end of this very long comment, my favorite intro to islam is “No God but God” by Reza Aslan.)
Love the vlog! However, if I flunk out of grad school, it may be all your fault since I am sitting here watching your vlog rather than doing my course work.
Now, that is a supply of books you got there!!
I’ve believe you’re now required to refer to your special guest as “My Andre Norton Award-Nominated Special Guest.” Ahem.
Given that libraries across the world pay to purchase the books that people check out for free, and…
given that authors can go to the library and check out books written by other authors (or even their own books I suppose) without having to pay the other authors, it follows that…
authors get a triple benefit from libraries: the free publicity that good librarians provide by placing their books in the new acquisitions display, increased sales of hard-bound copies of their books (paperbacks don’t hold up to heavy circulation very well), and the authors don’t have to spend any of their hard-earned royalties on other authors’ books.
But then there’s the whole property tax issue…
I’m just hoping someday you use that clip of Holly touching her nose with her tongue.
i was wondering what that map was! Now i know
What date did John wax his chin? I wanna watch… :[
in Germany and then in the United States
I love the Wii book idea!
As a fellow author, I agree.
hey John i’ll take that islam, Native religion and the golden hord off your hands if you want lol
