Thank you Erin!
You're new and you don't know about the site's spoiler blocking capabilities so I can't blame you.
I was agreeing with you and expanding my own thoughts on it. :P
If you'd read the previous posts in this thread, you would've seen on the last page that I'm only at "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish" so the spoilers you just used wouldn't have ruined the books...
Not only funny, but clever and well thought out. ;)
Adams wasn't scraping, he was just a firm believer in connecting everything. I really do admire the cohesion of plot, plot points and side points that he was able to attain.
Ok you have a point about Marvin, but the rest was dead on, wasn't it?
Marvin had a huge ego that's why. Yes he was always down and complaining, but he always took the time to mention just how big...

I must check out Fragile Things for "The Monarch of the Glen," as well as "A Study in Emerald." I really love the idea...
Best....omnibus....ever.[/QUOTE]
It's such an easy read too. 50 pages fly by so quickly. Few books that I've read are such easy pagerturners. That says a lot to me. :clap:
So far it's one of the best things I've ever read.
Props to Rjeso for turning me on to Adam's work. :huglove:
I'm reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy omnibus.
I'm reading "Fistful of Rain" by Greg Rucka. It's good, it's really, really good.
I decided to give James Patterson a try, so I recently read "The 6th Target."
If the rest of his books are anything like this one, I'm never going to read him again. Very poor, very boring, very...
