Yes Larry Send a noteboard - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM
I remember watching Colfer discuss the book on Youtube and hearing him say that he was offered the notes Adams left behind but decided to refuse them, saying he preferred to make the story his own. I may be misremembering, though.

Nabokov's The Original of Laura Tom - 08/10/2009 08:19:01 PM 1474 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1473 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1369 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 1340 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 1341 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 1357 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1444 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 1352 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 607 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 1358 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 1443 Views
Well, but you just said you didn't know if you could find it in the library. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:07:54 AM 1338 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 1340 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 618 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 1283 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 1338 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 637 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 621 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 1346 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 719 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1476 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 577 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1566 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 669 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 1305 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1815 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 1351 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 791 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1399 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1807 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 1389 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 1305 Views
I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:28:50 PM 608 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 1254 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 1352 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1438 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 1323 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1469 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 1244 Views
Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book Larry - 09/10/2009 02:46:22 AM 1678 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 1356 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 1267 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 1365 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 599 Views
The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2009 02:19:38 AM 599 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 1294 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 1365 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 1319 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1579 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 1263 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 1391 Views
So on Monday we'll find out if the widow's cash need resulted in a good book. Tom - 10/10/2009 04:21:22 AM 1330 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 1295 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 1286 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1450 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 1163 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 1276 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 1220 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 1325 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 560 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 1256 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 1277 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 574 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 548 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 1286 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 1260 Views
You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM* Bryce - 11/10/2009 07:51:59 AM 759 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 685 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1477 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 1163 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 585 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 1155 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 608 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1461 Views
