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.

He did write some pretty bad books. I really like the Dirk Gently ones, although I haven't read them since I was a student, and my tastes might have changed since then. You felt his relief at not writing Hitch-Hikers any more, at trying something new. I gather he didn't much like being a writer. I suspect we would have seen a lot more documentaries from him.
