I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor Send a noteboard - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM
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 1345 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1348 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1242 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 1211 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 1224 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 1208 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1293 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 1216 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 533 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 1226 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 1281 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 1199 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 1204 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 542 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 1157 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 1215 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 560 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 548 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 1216 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 645 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1351 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 506 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1441 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 589 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 1179 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1663 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 1226 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 712 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1252 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1651 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 1216 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 1178 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 541 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 1109 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 1208 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1279 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 1168 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1326 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 1110 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 1525 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 1237 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 1134 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 1237 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 526 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 531 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 1159 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 1235 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 1158 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1447 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 1134 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 1271 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 1163 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 1140 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 1135 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1327 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 1033 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 1138 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 1095 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 1203 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 490 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 1128 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 1154 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 507 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 475 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 1160 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 1125 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 686 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 615 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1352 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 1018 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 509 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 1026 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 523 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1319 Views
