Christ, I can't remember those books at all.


I'm pretty sure they all died. They wound up on Earth and then the Vogons destroyed it.

Yeah. Which means he would somehow have to make all of them come back to life AND make sure that Arthur never kills another living thing. Also, I want Fenchurch to come back into existence.

Oh, and please, please, please remove EMMah from your sig and avatar.

Yeah, but with all the time travel they willan havenbe diding and the immense number of other dimensions Arthur visted, I don't see how a sequel couldn't work.

But wasn't there some reason why the didn't all die? What was the whole thing with the little girl and the pan-dimensional bird? Didn't that mean they didn't all die? And the watch? And the packet of matches?

StevOK 10.03.2008 04:22 PM

The pan-dimensional bird's objective was to destroy the earth and everyone on it. I don't know about the watch and the matches.

I said Dracula. I've owned it four a few years but still haven't gotten to reading it yet.

Dead-Air 10.03.2008 11:18 PM

I voted Call of Cthulhu and Other.

For other, seek out Queen City Jazz by Kathleen Ann Goonan.

I hated Brave New World it had a cool story up until the end. Hes sick of people watching him as a tourist attraction so he just hangs himself, super lame. I thought the guy would maybe just reject that "modern" society and do his own thing or maybe go back to the native land. The rest of the story was great but the fact that it all lead up to that just pissed me off.

Translated from the Australian (sold Down Under as "The Day My Bum Went Psycho"), this adventure begins with the nighttime flight of our 12-year-old protagonist Zach's pale little heinie and doesn't let up for over 200 pages--most of which are filled almost exclusively with the word "butt." At first, Zach believes his butt might be leading some sort of minor butt rebellion, but the plot quickly thickens to include a global army of feral butts, the "greatest buttcano in the history of the world," and a head-butt "rearrangement" conspiracy that goes all the way to the... um, bottom. Our well-meaning but naive hero Zach soon gets mixed up with the butt-fighting "B-team" (the Kicker, the Kisser, and the Smacker, who all "love the smell of freshly smacked butt in the morning!"), fires his very first 4502-LL ("The LL stood for Laxative Launcher"), learns how to "butt-hop" ("The average butt has enough gas to propel itself and a rider for twenty minutes...."), and goes on a long, wild chase involving cluster butts, buttcatchers, kamikaze butts, stinkants, and even the fearsome Stenchgantor, "the Great Unwiped Butt." (And that's not even counting all those seagoing butt piranhas and poopoises.

hahahaha
