I'm 15 years old an currently getting into this kind of literature (the books that are recommended). I loved how you explained the connection between the books that are referenced and the actuall text. I will look out for these references in other books from now on. I'm really gratefull that you use your knowlege and take time to open new worlds to other people.

    "Guess who's back? And guess who's Jack? The answer to both of this questions is me!" Nice rhyme. Nice pun. I have to tell you I love your way of puns and your sort of... may we call it humor ;) Those little puns you do, keep bringing a smile to my face, 'cause I know there is someone out there just brabbling the same way I do. And I have to tell you a lot of people in my surrounding get really annoyed by me doing very bad puns, but I find them even more funny and encouraging the more ridiculous and nonsensish and just roll-your-eyes they are. So what I originally intended with this comment is to say *thank you* for your way of beeing you (with all the puns and fun and stress and everything) and sharing it with the world. Even now, that you are no longer studying you keep my mind sane while examseason. Especially now that it is my last exam seasom before my bachelorthesis... sort of scary... Basicly: Thank you for the little smile you put on my face with the few very first seconds of this video! :D
