ahhh, I knew there'd be at least a couple fans of the great one here.

Socks, did you ever happen to read "Dirk Gently"?

DA wrote two other books after the Guide, the first was quite good. The second was nearly unreadable - I was very disappointed. It seemed like he'd just run out ideas if you can believe that - but if you haven't read Totally Hollistic Detective Agency, it's a great way to spend a weekend.

Also, you mentioned the leatherbound trilogy - surely you caught the last two in the series, yes?

I'm quite the completeist when it comes to series of novels I like.

I have read all 5 books in the trilogy, and even "Last Chance To See" by Douglas Adams! And Yes, Dirk Gently as well.

Hell... I like Piers Anthony too. I've read the COMPLETE Xanth Trilogy (All 28 Books!) (He had trouble with math and thought that a trilogy was 3 to the third power!) (he called the 28th book the first installment in the second trilogy...)

But I Digress...

"I used to think it was awful that Life was so Unfair...

Then I thought - Wouldn't it be Much Worse if Life Really Were Fair, and all the Terrible things that happen to us come because we really Deserve them?

So now I take Great Comfort in the General Hostility and Unfairness of The Universe."

J. Michael Straczynsky

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?
