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

i don't think you do need a guardian angel, uve got greebo if uve got any questions, she's great!
but i'm here to offer my services, however useless they may be.
hmmm... i'm not really selling myself here am i, sorry, just suffering from post-exam tension i suppose!
i too am into sci-fi, along with most of this community, what specifically are you into?
~xTx~

You just finished too? I finished yesterday, and am currently recovering from the raging hangover it dealt me... I can get you tea, coffee, coke, or hot chocolate, but *please* no alcohol...

*moans softly to self*

I've been getting into Iain M Banks recently - he's a great writer - favourite is probably "The Art of War"(?) - hugely shocking finale for that - there were images buzzing round my head for weeks...
What about you?

Oh I don't know, someone once told me alcohol was the best cure for hangovers.

ps I, too, am recovering from that affliction more commonly known as 'exams'. However I've just done my GCSEs, I still have all that A-level stress to come.

I've not heard of M Banks I will go and look him up.

sorry to disappear like that, technical difficulties u know!
i'm reading pride and prejudice right now for csys english but i've got various others on hold, kinda got out of the habit tho, so if u can recommend something it would be much appreciated!

If you do, it's "Use of Weapons" that was my fave book... oops!

huh?!

talking to "small fish"... sorry!

I don't think I can recommend any "serious books" - most of what I read isn't exactly classic...

"A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess - bloody marvellous. And "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. And "On the Yankee Station" by William Boyd, which has humourous sexual content... throw aside your Jane Austen!

oh, if you're including Brave New World, you ought to have 1984, too... and BladeRunner, of course - all deeply dark looks at the future.

I'm reading the Iluminatus Trilogy at the moment... it's... different... Quite large, though. It is a classic, I guess.... in it's own little way

I'm doing the proper thing and spending my summer reading through the canon of English Literature; Some Virginia Woolf, a bit more Huxley and D.H. Lawrence ("Lady Chatterley's Lover") for amusement value...

Otherwise, I'm reading my curry-stained copy of "Better Than Life" for the sixth time...

i plan to throw aside jane austen, once i've finished pride and prejudice, for csys english u see. actually i was considering reading catch-22 and someone suggested janice galloway, anyone heard of her?

Ooooh, 'Catch-22'; always meant to read it, could never afford a copy.

Please join my campaign to ban 'Pride and Prejudice'!

my friend's got a copy of catch-22, gonna borrow it when i've finished p&p, i.e. my homework!!

I saw the video of catch-22 : well worth watching...

Ah, yes; it has the young Art Garfunkel in it as Nately...

i'll borrow it the next time i see beka, the suspense is killing me.
