This: A book that was made into a movie that you've never seen.
That: A fantasy or sci-fi satire novel.

Beth | 23 comments This: It by Stephen King - I've never seen any filmed adaptations and, after reading the book, I never will.

That: The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next, #1) by Jasper Fforde - I was happy to find this on the GR list for Fantasy Satire as it's been on my TBR for a while.

For this month's challenge I chose That: A fantasy or sci-fi satire novel, for which I read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. Adams, of which I have previously read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, is back with a whole new cast and crew, but similar absurdist humor. Dirk Gently is not your average detective, and the case involves a ghost, a time machine, and a spaceship. Needless to say, lots of tongue-in-cheek silliness going on. I had some chuckles along the way, and some bonus points for originality, but wasn't my favorite. 3 stars
