• The significance and drawbacks of stories

  
  Sporting Madness — Authority: 123
  An omnipresent but under-discussed element of sports in our modern era is the significance of the story. We often tend to think of stories as just factual representations of what goes on in a game, but the sheer amount of action involved in sports means they have to be both more and less then that. A breakdown of ...

• Short story: Crimes Against Science Fiction

  
  Jay Garmon [dot] Net — Authority: 116
  I want to give a shout out to Suzanne Vincent and the editing crew over at Flash Fiction Online , who gave this story one of the kindest and most encouraging rejection letters Ive ever received. This was really my first stab at flash fiction, and as such its rather derivative -- I was channeling a bit of Douglas ...

• BitchBuzz: Douglas Adams & Dolphins

  
  Wombat's World (a blog for writer K. A. Laity) — Authority: 118
  My latest column for BitchBuzz was sparked by a story about dolphins and television. Seems they figured it out pretty quick, unlike simians who had to be coached in the ways of the box. I shudder to think how much they laughed to see what humans do with their non-nautical time: At the moment of Earths destruction, ...

  Lair of the Green Knight — Authority: 123

So to find a book written by Neil Gaiman about the long, strange road of author Douglas Adams , it was as though I found an amazing, hidden two-for-one sale at the bookstore. Written with admiration ...

  (image: Penguin UK) Douglas Adams created the Improbability drive on the Heart of Gold for a reason, to make the improbable, probable. In reading And Another Thing… by Eoin Colfer, the 6th book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, that’s what you have to remember. Everything that is happening is ...

• And Another Thing… by Eoin Colfer [Review]

  
  Geek-Speak — Authority: 121
  Eoin Colfer’s “And Another Thing…” is, on the face of it, a strange book. It’s the sixth instalment of Douglas Adams’ Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

• The Gates to Hell and all that

  
  Bookwitch — Authority: 127
  I should have known you can’t have just one book about dead bishops. Here is another one, although the bishop isn’t the main character, or anything. This is a Halloween book, so go get a copy to get you into a nice demonish mood for the day. It can be very dangerous for the TBR pile development to go and poke ...

  My latest Astral Weeks is up at the L.A. Times , on Eoin Colfers And Another Thing... , the next installment in the late Douglas Adamss Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.

• Your Neatorama Guide To The Hitchhiker’s Guide

  
  Neatorama — Authority: 790
  Technically, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy should probably be The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe , as the book most certainly explores multiple galaxies, regardless of semantics though, the story is undoubtedly a worldwide phenomenon. As a book, it has been translated into 30 languages and was voted ...
