“A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-h ...more Douglas Adams |

“I guess I’m like the venerable old warrior Chief of the Great Six Nations, who announced his retirement by saying, “I am like an old hemlock. My head is still high, but the winds of close to a hundred winters have whistled through my branches, and I have been witness to many wondrous and many tragic things. My eyes perceive the present, but my roots are imbedded deeply in the grandeur of the past.”

"WOWWWWWWWW
As a woman in tech, this one hit close to home, and both horrified and astounded me… AI is scary. Especially generative AI, and perhaps this book takes place in the not-so-distant future or perhaps it’s eons away, but regardless it feels as" Read more of this review » |

"Very well done, nice and short. Definitely has a vibe like The Boys from Brazil, but it's not just a thriller like that and is mostly from the boys' viewpoint. Characters are well drawn and the premise is expanded upon nicely."

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/stor...Article from rolling stones I thought you might like to read. :)
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
My co-worker did not believe i knew you - so no cool factor-i was not going for that. I was trying to talk about her history, while they were focusing on the usual E! gossip crap. They then moved onto Brad Pitt's lip hair-i kid you not! I work to save lives, and they giggle about this stuff.
Glad I could help with your "cool" factor among your friends. Don't they have more interesting things to concern themselves with?
people were talking at work this weekend about Bettie-so i told them about you and your grandfather. They could not believe i knew you via Goodreads! Sure Noran--good for you. silly fools and little lives, watch twight movies and the hills-whatever that is-I only know about from watching The Soup!
Merry Christmas /Happy Holidays!
December 6, 2008LOS ANGELES - Bettie Page, one of the most notable models of the 20th century, is hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles.
Mark Roesler, Page's agent and attorney, says the 85-year-old is "critically ill."
He says she suffered a heart attack Tuesday and remains hospitalized.
He would not comment further on her condition.
Just read up on your grandfather--very impressive. What a history!
Just saw this, and was sure if you had.
