jennarenn I'm not comparing the books in terms of sci-fi, but the in terms of feeling of joy I get from being sucked into an amazing plot. HGTG has great lines, but the plot in EG just grabs on like a leech and won't let go until you're done. May 15, 2007
trivet Listen to the BBC radio series if you have a chance - I prefer it to all other incarnations... May 14, 2007
uselessness Ender's Game is a really great book. In fact, it's my #1 favorite fiction book. But I don't really know that any comparison is merited between it at HGTG; they're just so different. I just like the unique writing style of Douglas Adams, even if the stories he tells with it are ridiculous and inane.
I mean, who else would come up with similes like "the ships hung in the air in much the same way that bricks don't" or "the machine provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea." I like the little language curveballs like that, they make reading fun again. :-) May 14, 2007
jennarenn Huh. I read Hitchhiker and half of Restaurant this weekend. It's getting better, but not my favorite series. Maybe having just reread Ender's Game is hurting my opinion. May 14, 2007
reesetee Oh, seanahan, other things in my life qualify far better as blasphemy. ;-) But it *is* odd that I've never gotten into these books--a few friends who know my reading tastes have recommended them as well. Perhaps it's time to give it another try. I like to keep an open mind. :-) May 14, 2007
jennarenn Ha! I actually own the Hitchhiker omnibus edition. It's on the to-read list for this summer. Maybe I'll bump it up to the front of the queue. May 11, 2007
seanahan "Never could get through those books, hard as I tried..."
see blasphemy May 11, 2007
uselessness That's odd, because the first time I read them I couldn't get enough! I don't think I've ever turned pages quite as fast as the ones in this series. Five books, and it was still over too quickly. Different strokes, I guess... May 11, 2007
reesetee Never could get through those books, hard as I tried....
*sigh* May 11, 2007
uselessness Ah Jenn, clearly you need to spend more time reading Douglas Adams. Once you've made it through the first book you'll have given up on logical explanations. ;-) May 11, 2007
jennarenn Yes, but that makes no sense. How can a color be intelligent? May 11, 2007
redmeg8 A Hooloovoo is a superintelligent shade of the colour blue in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Dec 28, 2006
