OMG I loved that book so much. The audiobook is awesome, and amps up the H2G2-ness to eleven.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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."

(The audiobooks of her "Girl Who Sailed to Fairyland etc etc" series are not awesome, sadly - she narrates them herself and does not do her own writing justice.)

So, Amazon now has a 1-click buy box for "Next in series" that shows up on the thank-you page when you buy a book that's part of a series.
It's...a little bit dangerous.

Yeah, that may cause me some financial distress.
So, about half into Space Opera and thinking about casting Decibel Jones. My first thought was Janelle Monae, and my second thought was Tom Holland but they are both too young, so then I thought Edan McGregor would be fun although he is not at all ethnically ambiguous and then I thought of Naveen Andrews and I bet he would be very pretty in eyeliner and rhinestones so I think he's my choice.
