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

Oh no, you didn't read all those Willard Price book too when you were a kid did you? I've still got them somewhere

King Solomon's Mines - H. Rider Haggard

I didnt read all of them, but quite a few I guess - I just read everything I could get my hands on, and my mum has a habit of needing to buy more large bookshelves every year - moving out was hard...but lots of books my parents _had_ more than one of, and those charity shops rock

Stark - Ben Elton

Haggard -> state of the planet...

One Day the Wind Will Change - Bill Watterson

Ben Elton -> Elton John -> Candle in the Wind ...

One Day the Wind Will Change - Bill Watterson

Ben Elton -> Elton John -> Candle in the Wind ...

One Day the Wind Will Change - Bill Watterson

Ben Elton -> Elton John -> Candle in the Wind ...

Hmmm - that was Odd....

Just got back from Books Etc.... (Book shops have this amazing almost gravitational pull on me) and not only have I bought a Thumb Thing (to keep books open as you read them ) But I saw, and therefore HAD to buy, a Book ULTRA....

The Water Babies -> Rev Charles Kinglsley.

What on earth is a book ultra?
A for books? Damn that would be useful - I hate dropping books in the bath, I really do. Thumb thing also sounds groovy - can you get Electronic Thumbs there too? ?

(Well it has to be doesn't it?)

Plague Dogs - Richard Adams

@@At the moment they have no Electronic thumbs.... The Towel is, as you guessed, a for books, in the shape of a Book Mark!@@

Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams.

plague looks like plaque -> shiny brass new ones dont help the unpaid secretary...

The Highway Code ~ Driving Standards Agency

The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams.

I would say sorry, but I am not, I cant do it anymore, it was bad enough posting Dirk..., but this is even more obvious - I just cant leave DNA out of my side of this thread anylonger. Obvious obvious obvious obvious - I am sure most of the people here could link back to THHGTTG from any other book anyone cared to mention, but for what its worth:

The Highway Code -> The green cross code -> the weird green geezer on those public service advert thingies who made the kids STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN -> slightly scary green things -> really horrible and scary green things -> and the bug eyed monsters? They're green yes.

I shall try and make the effort to post authors a little bit further a field from now on, honest

No worries - it gives me a great link into a Comic Strip though....

Get Fuzzy - Darby Conley

In June 19 Strip (just read off the Web, from the Comics web site, which is basically the three ws followed by comics, followed by the standard american ending for a COMpany) The Main Human Character is wearing a T-shirt with
6

on it.

Ok, if we're counting cartoons,

Tintin by Herge

After all you can't get more fuzzy than Snowy....

The White Spider - Heinrich Harrer


Snowy -> tall mountains -> The Eiger -> The North Face ->

(hope you weren't too subtle with the url there Argon0 - will I be able to descipher such a tricky code?)

Fear and Loathing in America - Hunter S. Thompson

Ugh, simped (OK, so I went home between hitting the Reply and Post buttons!!! )

Well I could have been more subtle - but it got by the Mods....
