The Redn1ght strikes at midn1ght

Glad I skipped it then. I saw that they pulled an Alien 3 and dissapeared main characters right at the beginning. Nope.

Book 5 sucks. I never finished it. (Blasphemy!)

23:31 - flightoficarus86
Douglas Adams is the man. I can't bring myself to read book 5 though. 4 ended so perfectly.

23:30 - Zaphod
He's too busy writing and deciphering haikus.

23:29 - flightoficarus86
Is Joe on here? I was thinking about the style he said he was into and I realized I might have some stuff for him

23:28 - Zaphod
Everyone knows JK Rowling ripped off Douglas Adams big time.
