    OMG! I never thought I would find a hhttg fan on here... It was the first book I downloaded on my kindle, natch, as I couldn't get over the irony of reading it on the thing he predicted an ebook... On a regular basis I use hhg quotes for my status updates, and even now re-reading them makes me cry with laughter... x

    Reading The Help at the moment. Not a book I was interested in really but it seems to be popular so giving it a go. Nice and easy read.

    She has written some fab books. The Blind Assassin and Cats Eye are great, my absolute favourite though is Alias Grace.
    If you like the theme of alternative society in Handmaids Tale you might also like Oryx and Crake, kind of weird but good!!

    Oryx and crake is on my to read list. I do love dystopias I've heard of blind assassin before but didn't realise it was by her.

    OOh, I felt the same way about that book. Had it for years and was really pleased and enjoyed it when I read it and love being able to explain to people that catch-22 is not just an expression, lol

    Oh I'm a fan allright, I have the books, the radio series, the origional tv series and the new Tv film! But of course like a true fan I prefer the books though.

    First read the HHGTTG as a teen and was even in a ZZ9 fan club. Now I just have to keep re-reading and finding it funny.

    Loooovveee stephen fry as the voice of the Guide in the new film who I feel did a fitting tribute to the coolness of Peter Jones's origional voice over.

    I adore His Dark Materials. The books are beautifully crafted and so vivid at prevoking a visual image of what you are reading.

    Hated the film, I survived 3 minutes as it was nothing like the dark looming childrens playground city I had pictured from the opening of the first book. I own three presses, slightly ott I know but I keep buying a full set and lending one out shouting READ THIS at friends, lol... Mind you I own more than that of HHGTTG. Enjoy

    I was about 14 when i first read it, my brother in law had a copy I nicked, when he found out he bought me them all for my birthday, we still quote it at each other to this day... I think my goth tendencies came from identifying with Marvin... xx
