Google guide to the galaxy

It wasn’t very interactive, but it was nice to see it. It made me think about reading the series again this summer, when I’m out from college. I haven’t read it in years.

Thanks, Jon, for posting that. Reading it, I forgot all about listening to the radio show. NPR here played it, and I tuned into it and the Star Wars radio show weekly. I think I was the only nerdy kid in my podunk little country town that had any appreciation for them.

b) It’s worth tracking down every single copy in existence, burning them, pissing on the ashes, then force-feeding a lump of the resultant mush to the author, the publishers, and absolutely everyone involved in the project, once every hour until they all sincerely and profusely apologise.

I see that Simon Jones has done an audio version of it. Hmm, I think I’ll wait until I’ve read The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul before I investigate further.

Good point, well made.

I can’t remember a great deal about what happens in And Another Thing but the ending isn’t particularly happy IIRC. Anyway, yes it’s shit. My copy went to the charity shop.
