Douglas Adams’s Starship Titanic

Posted by Mark | Filed under Books

I fin­ished read­ing Dou­glas Adams’s Star­ship Titanic quite a while back but just didn’t feel moti­vated to write a review about it. Don’t get me wrong; I think Terry Jones did a won­der­ful job and I did enjoy it a lot (4.5 out of 5 points). I just didn’t feel like writ­ing another review, so […]

Last Chance to See

Posted by Mark | Filed under DVDs

I just fin­ished read­ing Dou­glas Adams and Mark Carwardine’s Last Chance to See. Wow. It was great! I’ve been a fan of Dou­glas Adams since I was knee-high to a grasshop­per (mostly for his Hitcher’s Guide to the Galaxy) but I’d never read any non-fiction by him before. It was won­der­ful to see his irreverent […]

This evening I went out to help Pukka cel­e­brate his last night as a sin­gle man. We went over to the Can­te­bury Inn’s restuarant/bar and had big, big gob­lets of alco­holic bev­er­ages. It was no wild party with strip­pers and hook­ers. But we had fun any­way; at least, I think we had fun. The night […]

The Ladies of Mandrigyn and my next book to read

Posted by Mark | Filed under Books, Reviews

I fin­ished read­ing The Ladies of Man­drigyn last night and I have to give Ms. Ham­bly a bit of credit; she didn’t go with the more obvi­ous of the 2 sce­nar­ios that I thought she was going to. In the end the book wasn’t all bad, but I def­i­nitely wouldn’t rec­om­mend any­body buy this book […]
