Old men with majestic beards are the KINGS of ASMR.

He was a quiet man, an artist, a reader...

I remember watching your puzzle solving videos years ago when I was in high school. At the time I had no knowledge of advanced math or even much calculus. I'm now finishing up my mechanical engineering and applied math BS degrees and am applying to grad schools for math. Hopefully to have an MS, or even a PhD if I really want to go the full mile. I think it's wild how this all comes back around and you uploaded this video with math books, many of which I own and have used.

He looks like he invented math.

The Tyranny of Numbers book looks fascinating and I just ordered a copy. TY Bill Max

you know here ,it's 6:00 AM and your voice is the best for starting my career day , thank you so much Bill

Thank you for all you do Bill. You’re a real comfort and a lifesaver for so many.

I love how humble you are about your ASMR efforts, but you're genuinely soooooo relaxing. The book tapping is spot on!

I love seeing people’s book collections and your voice is so soothing. Thank you.

Bill you have a great big heart. Always glad to see you upload anything at all

HE'S BACK OMG! I remember watching Bill on my iPod touch in 6th grade. I used to fall asleep to his puzzle videos all the time. (The codebreaker ones). Glad he's back!

This video feels so authentic and real, I really like it. I rarely find creators like you, so I think I just discovered a real gem! Ill be sticking around☺️

I love the long hair and beard! It's like hanging out with a kind and loving arch wizard.

You don't even have to tap on things and flip through pages. You have a beautiful calm voice and you talk very passionately. Cheers!

I saw this pop up and immediately went to tell my girlfriend that I wanted to watch this with her. I love your channel Bill, you've been bringing me relaxation and calm for at least a few years now and I appreciate it every day. Wishing you all the best and sending good vibes.

Glad to see you're well, Bill! Take care, and thanks for all the chill!

The page flipping and the tapping is fenominal. Thank you so much!

This might be my favorite book share ever. I was just happily falling asleep, hearing about more cool books I should read, but then you pulled out David Wunsch's book and I just had to go pull it from my shelf. It's hard to describe what makes a great textbook, but I very fondly remember my undergrad course using Wunsch's book, and it greatly influenced my path through grad school. Thank you so much for your calming video and reminding me of a great time in my life.

I love the laughter hinting at inside jokes of the math world even if I understand none of them, he’s clearly passionate about the subject and I love to see it

I love old books. Even if they're worthless. I like the ones with titles that lay out exactly what you're about to read.

Bill, your show and tells are my favourites. It reminds me how to be a kid at heart again and just do what I love

It's always a delight when you post Bill. I've been following you since the early days. So glad you are still around and being you!

I smile throughout your videos Bill. Thank you so much

Thank you for your videos Bill. I've been quietly listening to you on and off for the past 10 years since you showed us you elephant collection and I very much appreciate you for helping me find rest in this restless world.

Would absolutely love a sequel! This video has introduced me to both your channel and some interesting Literature

I love your videos man! They’re so authentic and real. I appreciate it a lot!

I love Set Theory ,after that you are ready for Abstract Algebra and maybe someday for Algebraic Geometry !

Thank you Bill, you have a very relaxing voice and vibe.

I'm from Colombia, and I've say thanks for all your videos and your relaxing voice.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this video, this type of content is right up my alley.

Thank you very much. So relaxing. Wish you all the best.

Keep hustling man you’re a great asmrtist like seriously bro im chillin rn watching your video.🙏❤️

Wow, just got this in my recommended, love your soft speaking. Thank you for your videos!

Here I was looking for some relaxation after working on an analysis problem set for hours… only to be spooked by baby rudin right off the bat!!

Just want you to know that everyone in my household loves your content. Thank you for sharing with us!❤

Contemporary Abstract Algebra is a fantastic book. I self studied that after my first year undergraduate and it was so nice to read and understand

Just stumbled upon this channel. Surprise asmr find of the year!

clicked for the math, staying for the vibes ❤ great soft spoken voice, the video does feel a bit quiet tho

I’m dyslexic so I wont be reading any books but listening to your passion towards them and your calm voice was very relaxing

i really do admire smart people, like you

Just had this recommended to me- something about you makes me happy. Thank you!

You're so interesting! I think we who love ASMR tend to be picky about triggers, so it's impossible to please us all. I crave a certain vocal timbre & pace of speech. Most ASMRtists don't take enough time with their words for my taste. I love your speaking in every way -- and the sound you get from tapping with the pads of your fingers, which nobody does! They all use their NAILS. 😬 See? Picky!

saved the best for the end! lmao! such a relaxing and interesting video to listen to and a great collection of books. thanks so much, Bill

Oh this will be such a treat to listen to / watch! Thanks Bill, really educational, all the best from Bulgaria

The Set Theory and Logic Book got me good...thanks a lot for this content mister Máxima Voz Pacífica!

UR TAPS ARE LOVELY DON'T BE SHY!! It's a great way to supplement talking with tapping for ASMR tingles :D

The man, the myth, the legend. What a pleasant surprise, had no idea you had returned to KZfaq. Today is a good day.

Amazing video as per usual!

Just found your content. Amazing, thanks for posting!

When that soothing summer sets. And bathes every vain. To the tooth. Summers rain reaches its roots. And soon we forget

Don't usually comment on videos but I've been following for sometime now and your videos bring me so much joy and relaxation so please keep them coming (if able) and thank you! ❤

Well this is an interesting find. Anything with books always gets my attention. Subbed❤❤❤❤

Quality. Pure, tranquil, quality.

You know what would be really awesome for your channel? Minecraft asmr videos. I bet you'd enjoy it and build some really neat things too.

this ASMR relaxed me very much and make my heart warm! i don't like math honestly, but he makes me feel so interested by the books haha! 😊 good video!

Your asmr video’s always help me to sleep!! Thank you 😊

your voice would be perfect for tolkien audiobooks oh my goodness 😮❤

Very soothing video. Subscribed.

Found this extremely enjoyable, Bill. My first time running across your page - I shall subscribe! I’m a mathematics fan, as well - particularly as it pertains to cosmology, so that first segment was fascinating to me. Good stuff.

I did enjoy the tapping thank you:)

Thanks for the vid Bill! :)

an hour of bill! love to see it.

I really can’t believe this showed up for me today. Your mastermind puzzle video years ago was one of my favorites and I would never have remembered it if this didn’t show up on my front page today. I even have a new KZfaq channel so I think it is really a coincidence but it’s good to see you still posting ! In the time between these two videos I got my computer science degree but sometimes I wish I cared a bit more about the math courses I took 😂

wow amazing, this video puts me to sleep in 15 min or less! A true cure for insonmia!

Yay, a Bill video!

I love this, your voice is just so soothing and nice. It may sound strange but this is gonna make me sleep like a dog lol ❤

i love this, you look like my dad who is a math professor. definitely recognize a few of those books. still have nightmares about real analysis…

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee this thank u ❤️you’re a precious and intellectual soul

You are a treasure, Bill.

Hah! These look like the books in my dad's office! He is a hydrologist so i assume they are very different books but it is a nice reminder of home!

Your beard and voice is awesome! Keep it up!

Love seeing the new stuff brother

Asmr God he got me falling asleep in Wal-Mart parking lot

Dude I haven't see you in soooooo long I remember watching your oooooold videos I'm haply you sticked to these type of videos

You're very good sir! Subbed :)

FInally I got my asmr back, what a neat guy

I love the intro, not editing it out, it feels more real, great video dude

The man, the myth, the legend!

I need those outro ocean sounds on loop

Fell asleep and subbed….lol

this needs a part 2 i m really curious as to what other books you have God Bless You Dude(and yes its genuine and dw i m alright if you believe in another God or dont to each their own and everyone has their own free will other than that i found the video extremely entertaining)

Nice to see Mr Butler's beard go lovely and floppy.

Awesome vid

Good books!

So wholesome ❤😊

nice video man

I would assume this guy wanted good audio , maybe not , but this sounds so crispy and clean and good

Good lord, i bet its been 10 years since i had one of your videos recommended

Luv this😊😊😇💤💤💤💤

Bill kinda looks like a Harry Potter character. I like it.

Bill has earned a sub

I love it

excellent ☻

17:35 would love to see an in-depth ASMR video on dividing by zero: the ultimate taboo!

I'd love to see more fiction if possible, great taste.

Most of these books haven't really lasted as stsndards, but I love that Rudin is still going strong.

Just came across your channel. I am a Christian, and I am right wing though, not Republican. In spite of these differences, my friend, I highly value, your ASMR technique, your open, mindedness, and your gift with the English language.🙏🏼

This guy is inexplicably cool

Ese libro con el título “Desde los cinco dedos hasta el infinito” me parece interesante 👍👍👍👍
