h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Getting better at the lurking game. Will read at leisure this evening...the speed read was most favourable!

boots (who really should be doing day job!)

come first I suppose. I hope you've enjoyed the read. The reason why I prefer this to the edited version is that the sub ed didn't like my excess of footnotes and either removed them or put the note in the body of the text, which destroyed the intended comedy timing of waiting a bit to read it.
<--who gets a rest from the day job soon.

Oh excellent. A ripping read. Really all made up? Seriously impressed. Surely there is more to come?

You never read the books? My entry is about a character in fiction, but the books are real enough. I read them as a child and then my own two did as well.

(who would happily swap your flowers for a room full of teenagers who'd rather be sitting in the sunshine.)

No never read the books...spent a lot of childhood travelling (army brat) so didn't really start reading until I was eleven. Spent a large potion of the next six years in the library (horribly sickly child) started at the 'A's' and worked my way through the alphabet. A very eclectic library, thin on Proust but fat on Creasey and Heyer. Amidst it all found Kipling, Steinbeck, Hemingway and Green, oh what joys! 'A room ful of teenager' as opposed to a 'room full of flowers'...Mmmmm close call when you have the wedding from hell on Saturday and have all the terrible teenage Tweedles in to help! Think my straw is the shortest!
