Re: Colfer's Hitchhiker
Is it available in the US yet? I might have to swing by a book store on the way home from work tomorrow.
Who needs a signature anyway?

Re: Colfer's Hitchhiker
Finished it, go out, buy it, read it, drink tea.
Don't expect it to be a Douglas Adams book, a lot of the humour is there, a lot of it works, but some of it is trying too hard.
The only major gripe is a serious over-reliance on using guide entries within the text. The editor should have been a little heavier handed with her red pen on those.

It's cack. Tries too hard as DP says, and I just gave up on it.
So, if anyone wants a FREE hardback copy so they can try it, here's a competitiony thing.
All you need to do is tell me which Douglas Adams character I'm thinking of ...

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Salman Rushdie
You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.
House MD
Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.
Sandy Denny
This is the wrong forum for bluffing
Paco
Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.
