	I absolutely love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's such a good book. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love the entire series. One of my favourites. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wasn't such a fan of So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish but I think that's primarily because I was such a fan of Marvin. And I've yet to read And Another Thing... because, although it was approved by Douglas Adams' widow, I'm not sure I want to read a book penned by someone else just the same.

	notjusta_teaboy 2012-01-01 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, and it did get rather weird there towards the end, even for Douglas Adams. As for And Another Thing, it's pretty good. I understand why you don't want to, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	humanmapquest 2012-01-01 02:20 am UTC (link)
	It really did. I remember reading the books when I was younger and I was half-convinced that Douglas Adams had suffered some sort of massive head trauma. It was the only explanation that made sense for why the stories took the turn that they did. I'm sure I'll read it eventually. I just have to steel myself against possibly being disappointed, first.

	I don't really remember what my impression was, but I do remember not liking the later ones as much as the first few. Although he did have to tack those last few ones on, so maybe he'd kind of run out of plot. I'll be here for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It mostly sticks out in my mind due to the conversation I had with Aziraphale after I had him read the books... which would probably make a little more sense to you if you'd ever read Good Omens. If you haven't, you should. I definitely appreciate it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjusta_teaboy 2012-01-01 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Oh, of course I have! And I'm very interested to know how that particular conversation went. Just let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was certainly interesting. I'm not sure if Aziraphale had ever discussed spaceships and the like with much of anyone other than Crowley, before I encouraged him to read that book. We had quite amazing discussions about it afterward, though. Honestly, looking back I'm a bit surprised that the conversations didn't dominate the tutoring lessons he gave me, Adam, and our friends far more than it actually did.

	Really? What was he tutoring you in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Actually, tutoring wasn't really the right word now that I think about it. Back then, in Colligo, there was only the Colligo Public School System for education and the four of us - Adam Young, Ben Winchester, Jude Harvelle, and myself - weren't really the type to go to a school where we could 'turn off' a teacher's brain by asking certain questions.

So, Aziraphale offered to provide a home school, of sorts. We simply went to his bookshop, discussed, and learned about, various things. I honestly think I'm one of the few people who can say that I was home-schooled by a Principality.
