Who was that fella who wrote hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.

Douglas Adams. Hitch Hikers books are fab, also worth trying to source Douglas Adams Dirk Gently novels.

Really? To each his own, I guess.

The Discworld books make me laugh out loud.

really. of course i may have just picked a bad one or read it in the wrong frame of mind. after all i didn't think much of "100 years of solitude" when i first read it. now, i know it is a masterpiece. got no beef with the imagination or scope but the language was poor. it didn't appear to be crafted with any care for the reader - it read like a dictated proof.

dictated proof. i like that. might make a good username.

i absolutely loved that book the second time i read it. the first time i thought the same as you commented. i know i am going to read it again.

So is there a good ending? I'm kind of struggling through the last 100 pages!

Umm, did you just say you didn't like it because the language was poor and it wasn't crafted with care for the reader, really?

Like you weren't taking the piss or dangling a bait?

Pratchett - New Poll?

I feel a new poll coming on:

Do you like Pratchett novels?

Yes, he is like a Wordsmith of the Gods

No, he reminds me of Recruitment Agents

AndyW is a better novelist

small giants by Bo Burlingham - good stuff for building a small company with other values than growth
