Oh I haven't read this one either. Did start it a couple of months back but got distracted with other things and had to let it go. Will get to it soon, hopefully.
Yes, and loved it. In fact I enjoyed the first four books in this series but struggled with the fifth. I'm not sure if that's because I'd forgotten some vital information in the few months since I'd finished the other books or if it is a weaker more confusing story.
Yes all the books in the series except for the last not-written-by-Douglas Adams-one. It is on my TBR list. Oh and we are half-way, well now a little over half-way with my post here to post #42. I was going to wait until we got to that magic #reply til posting but I thought I might miss it.
My writing style has forever been influenced by Mr. Adams.
(Come on, it's question 42! I had to do it! :P)
