dude, im 32 years old, ive been addicted to drugs in my life, been to jail and prison, hated God, hated everyone and everything. . .the last few years have seen me change quite a bit tho i still have some serious problems that im aware of and working out with Gods help. . .i say that to say. . .that when i watch this mans videos. . .i find myself just sitting very close to my computer screen, with my head kind of resting on one hand, just smiling away. . .ive always loved how LOTR just sweeps me away, and i imagine actually living during that time , with all those crazy things going on. . .it just does something to me. . .and when i see this man in his study. . .it just makes me long to one day have some place like that of my own. . .just a little space, with things i love. . .im really really glad i discovered these videos. . .really really glad

A beautiful gift! I’ve always loved that the last two words of The Hobbit are “tobacco-jar”. It’s such a perfect ending, to me.

“Defending their liberty, as one is occasionally obliged to do”. Fitting words, as it is Memorial Day here in the U.S. Thanks for providing some relaxing refuge from the current state of the world.

“He took to writing poetry and visiting the elves,“ reminds me of one of my favorite Anglicisms: “…off with the fairies.“. An entirely different meaning to be sure, but both of them warm my heart. Though perhaps not as cozy as a Hobbit hole, I’m basking on my back porch in glorious Colorado sunshine, and enjoying a pipe myself. Thanks for the visit!

Unlike many who profess interpretations and ideas, you actually have such a deep appreciation for language and words and all of life’s simplicities. I always save watching your videos until day’s end when I’m reclined in a comfortable chair with a large cup of tea.

The Hobbit is a must read every year. What a treat hearing it from Malcolm!!

I have read the Hobbit many times. Cant wait until my 3 year old is old enough that I can read him this wonderful book

Hoping for the Tolkien copyright for a full read through! 🤞🏼Love your Tolkien videos Malcolm. Keep up the great work!

I’m listening to this with my grandson while we eat our…second breakfast!

I wish the camera were panned down more, so we could see the book and the bowl of the pipe 📕 💨

"Oh come in come in, Hello have sit" warms my heart every time. Love from germany wise man 🙏🙏🙏

O charming channel of pipe and prose,

You remind me so much of my grandfather and his office. I miss him so much. I am always happy to watch your videos. I feel I can enjoy his company again. Many blessings from São Paulo, Brazil!

Dear Mr. Guite

"We are given it to laugh at and joy, and read, and remember." Thank you, Malcom! 🙏

Smoking my new Savinelli churchwarden my wife got me for an early Father’s Day gift while watching your video. Cheers Malcolm and Hail all!

Thank goodness! I always enjoy your insights and your pipes of wisdom. Just remember though, it’s a dangerous business, going out your front door…

It would be very nice for you to read by the window on a rainy day. Your channel is very relaxing.

This is one of the most easygoing, and relaxing channels on KZfaq. 👍 keep the videos coming.

May all thy days be Smaug free and thy pipes well lit.
