I was wandering around in borders with a 49% off coupon and came upon it. It was sticking out on the shelf in front of everything else. The only one. Thought I should finally get around to reading it. So far i love it.

You really don't. Just the first four books. The fourth one is barely worth reading, and that's only for the appropriate ending. Mostly Harmless is completely horrible and I don't even want to think about that new one. The only truly good books in that series are Hitchhiker's Guide and Restaurant At The End of the Universe.

I read the first three in high school. I can scarcely remember some things but most of it I am drawing a blank.

Fun read at the time, though.

I picked up the first three books in a charity shop (cost me £2 for the three!).

I've just started The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and so the story so far is very familiar to me because of the original radio series (I had the two LPs as well).

Those right wing physics teachers are the worst aren't they? My physics teacher was German! Blooming Nazi no doubt.

Only read the prologue, no opinion yet. Loved the first two books though.

Everytime I'm taking a shit I read a few pages of this:

 


It's my second time reading it. It's alot funnier the second time. I never really appreciated the prose the first time.

Also I've been reading Lovecraft's short stories. The Nameless City was a really solid read. The Tomb was boring as all hell, really hard to get through.

Lastly I recently read this really cool short story by Arthur Conan Doyle called When The World Screamed. It's about these guys who drill down eight miles into the Earth to confirm a theory that the Earth is actually alive and sentient and we're all just chilling on it's back.

Just finished Paul Austers New York Trilogy. It was pretty cool, but I was a bit underwhelmed.

some of the ideas on art are a bit "can't believe i paid £13 for that" but the early stuff on the evolution of fiction is worth it. i tried to scan all these and make pdfs but my scanner doesnt work. the ideas in this one will be very useful to anyone struggling to make art right now. certainly gave me a lot to think about, in fact i'd say it's actually given me the tools with which to get out of the creative rut i've been stuck in. wait for the paperback or the pdf tho.


 



 


have only skimmed these 2


 


this is an absolute classic. i urge everyone to buy this one. i was put off by one of his articles in an old semiotexte schizo culture issue (seems like it was 70's/80's) were he talked about the criminality of homosexuality and put across some questionable stuff that obviously came from a different era and seemed like more like a coping strategy with the oppression at the time than anything else. but this book is really really fantastic, his attack on freudo marxism and the stuff on love and frustration REALLY spoke to me.
