Well I read up to
Mostly Harmless. I can't remember what happened that I didn't buy that last one. Thought I had downloaded it. Or maybe it wasn't available. I mean, who wants paper books in this enlightened era?

I'm currently in the process of reading The Hitch-Hiker's Guide and I'm absolutely loving it so far.

I re-read 1984 a few weeks ago; got through it in three days. Never read anything so quickly before. I literally could not put it down, even though I'd read it before.

Jesus! At 14 I was reading Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Alan Dean Foster! Were you ever even a child??
