Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. If you have a Nook, or the Nook app, you can get all five of the Hitchhiker novels for $11.99. Last time I looked, I couldn't find any of them. I wonder why that was. Was it so long ago?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh. I have all five, of course, plus the Salmon of Doubt, but I'm starting to build my Nook Pratchett collection, so it would be nice to build my Nook Adams collection all at once, as it were.

Yeah, I have them on paper, but now I can have them with me ALL THE TIME (downloads on tablet also...considers phone...). I would really love to get my hands on the radio plays for the Nook. That would rock.

Oh, that would be so great.

I have MP3s of the radio plays. At least the first two books worth. Also, the original Mighty Boosh radio shows.

::back from checking my iTunes::
Yeah, I've got the first twelve episodes. They're about a half hour each.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If it's not clear, I'm offering. Though somebody would need a YouSend It or Box account or something probably.

I was really thinking of the text, but I'm not idiotic enough to turn down Adams. I have a Dropbox account. I'm not sure it's cleaned up, but I'll go check and send you the access info. Thanks! Profile address good?
