I just learned about Libby and sending library books to my Kindle. So I have finally gotten around to reading A Song of Ice and Fire. I am on book 3 at the moment and damn I cannot believe it took me this long to read these books.

Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Just finished Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis' biography.
With the stories he recounts, it's hard to imagine he was able to recall such detail (although I may have said the same about Keith's book 'Life' too, lol)
Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

Man, the Beastie's book is amazing.

Way too late to the game, but just finished up A Storm of Swords. Great read. But also, everybody says don't waste your time with books 4 and 5. So....I might just watch the show for everything else.

Started Restaurant at the end of the Universe. Really liking it.

Read the books 4 & 5.

After your Douglas Adams fix.

Every so often I threaten to read those Hitchhiker's sequels, yet I never get around to it.  Maybe over Christmas I'll finally do it.  It would be a great excuse to re-read the OG.

They're good.
I've read nearly every published word from Douglas Adams and I honestly wouldn't be the same person had I not.

Will do.

Also, I have never really been much of a high fantasy fan but have been digging it lately. My friends tell me The Storm Light Archives by Brandon Sanderson is really good. I was thinking about grabbing them on audible or something. Has anybody checked them out?

Ditto.

Also, Restaurant is hardly some later 'sequel.' It's the second half of the story begun in Hitchhiker's Guide. They're basically one book. Only with the third book, Life the Universe and Everything, does the story, and writing style, go off in a new direction.
