@Quintumply Oh I just love the Hitchhikers Guide series, have read them all more than once. In my opinion they contain some of the funniest lines I've ever done across and I don't think the film or tv adaptations did them justice — typical book snobbery I know, not sure about the radio stuff. My advice would be to not read them all in one go though, they do get a bit samey if you do. Thank your partner in advance and enjoy!

@MightyDemon82 Yes, the film is also very good! If you like that, I do recommend the books. The Scientists novel is quite different from the movie, but the tone is bang on.

@sorteddan That’s actually good advice, I was definitely lining up to read all five books in a row. I do think that would be a mistake; for as much as I enjoyed the Pirates! books, reading them one after the other became pretty one-note.

I read 'No one writes to the colonel' by Marquez, a week ago and can't stop thinking about it; about the man and his fight. I'd read it like 10 years ago but didn't feel much. this time it was/is different. I'm thinking about it but I have nothing to say. just happy I found this forum. thanks Push■!!

@CthulhuFhtagn I also recently stumbled upon this forum and as an avid reader I'm loving it! I checked out «No one writes to the colonel» on Goodreads and it sounds very intriguing. Added it to my ToRead list (though, that is over 600 books long at the moment, so anyone's guess when I'll get around to it. It's quite short so I might bump it up as a palate cleanser between other books).

I recently finished «The Destroyer of Worlds» by Matt Ruff, the sequel to «Lovecraft Country» and I loved it! First book I've five-starred on Goodreads since November Recommended for anyone who liked the first book
