"I did half of another tour in this book when in Bristol the day before yesterday, but I kept getting so distracted by other things to read about that it took me longer. This is no bad thing as I have been learning a lot about the city which is exactly what I set out to do!" — Apr 04, 2026 02:31AM

"As I can only read this when me and Diana are together I'm taking another break. Fortunately it works well if you dip in and out of it as the story tends to get sidetracked every half a page anyway, so if we do then we're just being consistant with Jerome K. Jerome!" — Feb 28, 2023 05:08AM

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
― The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
