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."
There's only one Adams I don't have- The Meaning of Liff.
You. Must. Get. It.
Well, actually, get the Deeper Meaning of Liff which has all of the definitions from the first book plus a lot more. The thing with that book is that for a few days afterwards you'll be walking around going "there should be a Meaning of Liff word for...(whatever commonplace thing or occurence you just noticed there's no name for). I still find myself doing that from time to time.
I still use the term Abilene to mean the coolness on the other side of the pillow. Only to myself, and not that often, since my pillow doesn't get flipped.
Still, vital word.
You're not kidding. I'm a total pillow flipper. I love Abilene
I have Tempurpedic -- it makes the Abilene useless (of course it's still there), because they're not symmetrical.
However -- grimbister -- that passell of cars on the freeway all carefully matching the speed of the cop car within? Also vital.
Speaking of D. Adams, I just started reading Hitchhiker -- for the first time -- last night. Am a little confused, but also amused.
Jealous of you Tep.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who has not read that here.
Whoa, what is with you people?
Well, I didn't read it until senior year of high school. I'm not sure I'd even heard of it. But one of the faculty advisors for our lit mag thought "Polter-Cow" reminded him of it, so he thought I should read it before revising.
Hope you enjoy it, Teppy. Just remember that all the strange digressions aren't relevant...but some are.
So many books, so little time?ETA: Or maybe I feared it wouldn't have sufficent body count for my taste.
Heh. And there are five. And then two Dirk Gently books! Which are also fun. You might like those more, as they're ostensibly mysteries.
