Net smartz, U R doing dem rite

Eoin Colfer joins campaign to stop him writing Hitchhiker sequel.

What I really like about this story is that partway through, he realized he was making a terrible terrible mistake, and then pulled it back to make the interwebz work for him. Good man. Still not likely to read it, though.

I've heard the first three parts of the Book at Bedtime adaptation whilst at work, and I can't say I'm impressed. It seems to be little more than a suppurating globule of the worst indulgences of fanwank.

Though it still somehow manages to be a pleasant change from the usual turgid B@B fare.

I'm sold! Seriously, though, I didn't much like the last couple of HH books, so I'm not running out to get this one. I don't want the first ones spoiled further for me.

I didn't read the penultimate one, and I didn't even know until earlier this week that the last one even existed. Maybe ignorance can be bliss after all.
