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 1376 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1378 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1269 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 1248 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 1249 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 1241 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1324 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 1252 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 551 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 1257 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 1315 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 1226 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 1245 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 565 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 1186 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 1244 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 575 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 566 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 1248 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 663 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1382 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 524 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1478 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 605 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 1206 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1709 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 1263 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 731 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1284 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1689 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 1253 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 1203 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 556 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 1140 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 1239 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1310 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 1204 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1354 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 1149 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 1557 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 1265 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 1161 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 1270 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 538 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 549 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 1188 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 1269 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 1187 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1477 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 1167 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 1301 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 1206 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 1174 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 1168 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1358 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 1072 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 1170 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 1122 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 1230 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 505 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 1151 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 1185 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 523 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 494 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 1190 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 1151 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 708 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 629 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1386 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 1059 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 530 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 1060 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 538 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1360 Views
