The only fiction I've read:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    At times THGTTG has seemed less like fiction than non-fiction. Anyone not seen a Vogon throw a coworker out the nearest airlock just because they couldn't appreciate the captain's 'poetry'? And who hasn't found themselves in a project with an SEP thrown around it? Though Marvin did seem a bit more cheerful than some I've worked with...

    I am very disappointed that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy wasn't one of the choices. After all it is required reading here at the Monastary. :-)

      Indeed,
      And whilst it may not be Thursday, I have a Vogon ship parked over my house, for some reason my digital watch isn't working and I don't seem to be in ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha any longer... [?]
