The Sword and Laser discussion

We decided to take a break from the usual format and recommend some BIPOC and LGBTQIA authors. Plus, we kick off The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in case you need some comic relief.

Loved this!

Hi, Tom, you know me from other places.

I would like to point out that HHGTTG (the 2005 movie) was written by Adams before he died in 1999. All the changes and adjustments were supposedly his and, while I did not like the opening scene from Restaurant being near the beginning of the movie, it was his choice.

And I had a hard cover copy (green woven cover) as a high schooler and read it through at least five times.

Unfortunately it was lost in the copious moves in the early 2000s. :-\

I've got my towel (nearly always) within reach.

The hoopiest of froods,

Woot! The big 500 is near! So excited! Eve. Id it's "just" a regular episode!

Took me a while to get to this episode, but I wanted to say I appreciated the format change. I've been trying to find a balance between finding some escapism with staying engaged. I think you struck the balance pretty well with this episode.

My sense, or at least my fear, is that reading freely is going to be an activity that will be under increased scrutiny and pressure here in the US in the next few years. It's nice to be part of a group that strives to read diversely.
