bookcrossing

14 Apr 2003

Just registered two books at Bookcrossing, Stealing the Elf-King's Roses, by Diane Duane, a surprisingly disappointing work by one of my favorite authors, and The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time, a touching posthumous collection of various Douglas Adams speeches, essays, columns and a draft of the beginning of what might have become the sixth volume in the Hitchhikers trilogy.

I read Elf-King on the flight out to Tucson a couple of weekends ago, but only got around to registering it tonight. Finished Salmon of Doubt around the middle of last week, but haven't returned it to the library yet.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
