kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
that's not all
there's a comic book version
is it funny, though?
is it better than mostly harmless, at least?
I liked Mostly Harmless!
It was certainly better than So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, that's for sure

wasn't that the one with the detective and the asylum full of crazy crazy people?
There's also a manga based off this set of books. I never got into maximum ride. I tried, but I just couldn't.
I guess I prefer his brutal murder mysteries, instead. Maximum Ride was his "pretending to write good comic books" project.
it's a girl, and her name is Maximum Ride?
no, I'm pretty sure that's a boy. with long silky locks of curly sun blonde hair.
still not enough for me to try reading it again.
I'm more amused by the fact that Max is apparently hearing voices. That's like the first sign of being insane I think.
Also, this post totally left out the best one:
So I guess this guy is like on a permanent acid trip?
I also want to know why there are apparently half-human, half-wolves but they are able to grow wings? How the hell do you get wings from a wolf?
Edit: Dear God, they are making a movie! That's a very scary thought...
edit: who is this guy? why would anyone write anything this man put down on paper?
Yes I have, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I really wish they'd been able to find more of his notes. Also I'm sure you have, but in the off chance you haven't, go find and acquire "Last Chance to See".
Also also regarding Dune
I had no idea what Dune was before I first watched the David Lynch movie back when I was like 12 or so. I still barely had any idea what Dune was after I first watched the movie.
Then I read the book and enjoyed it immensely. Many many years later I picked up and watched the mini-series and while it did a far superior job at following the story and explaining the actions of the characters if you hadn't read the book, I didn't enjoy it as much because of the costumes, the set and production just screamed low budget made for TV practically Canadian in their artificial-ness.
I only say that now because (probably due to the order in which I was exposed to the "franchise" to begin with, the images from the movie are generally what stick in my mind. The exception being the weirding way from the movie, that... was,at least according to the novel, not what Frank Herbert intended.
The article he wrote about some Australian resort letting him use a manta ray as a propeller was awesome
that actually sounds like the long dark teatime of the soul
I still don't understand what the coke machine was about.
I really want to read the rest of that damn Dirk Gently book and I never will
That and the freaky naked cat he had to milk to stay alive....
I believe H R Geiger did the concept art for the Lych Dune.
his outburst turned her into a coke machine somehow, or he did it to protect her or something
I'm pretty sure he had to milk something in the books to stay alive though, cat or otherwise.
For what it's worth I prefer both of the Dirk Gently novels to the Hitchhiker series, although I love the HHGttG a lot.
Nah. There was a residual poison given to him that woudl kill him if he stopped taking the antidote, but there was no mention of him having to milk anything for it.
Yes.
Dude she's fourteen.
Cause thats makin the author sound more reasonable about naming a girl Maximum Ride.
Spoiler: the villains in that one die in a hurricane, which was ostensibly caused solely because of global warming and not, you know, because big hurricanes hit Florida from time to time
Is it bad that when I read that bolded phrase I thought
"YOU CAN FLYYYY?"
"No. Jump good."
No, this is the best thing
