I know I’ve asked y’all for a lot of recommendations and I have a mountain of books to get through in my room as well as a stack of like 30 books in my hallway to get through immediately (currently reading Revelation from Star Wars legends series).
As a fan of sci-fi and murder mystery/cop drama has anyone ever read a book that combines the two? I read A Scanner Darkly last year which is set in the future but any cop stories or detective stories that take place in a space colony or far future as well? Thanks.
Sci-fi comedy rather than sci-fi mystery, but I clicked your headline and I'm not giving up now. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is not woke at all, genuinely hilarious, and widely considered a classic. Can't recommend it enough.
I’ve read the whole series. Loved it! First one is my favorite and one of my favorite parts is when the Vogons say that the plans have been in your local sector office in Alpha Centauri and it’s not my fault you don’t take an interest in local affairs. I know the BBC had an adaptation years ago which I only saw one episode of but I liked it. Did you like the 05 movie?
I love Adams' asides. The importance of carefully choosing your words, lest you spark a pointless interdimensional war, had me rolling.
The movie was okay. Guide is one of those properties that sounds like it would make an amazing movie, but it never seems to work out nearly as well as the book. That said, I had a mildly enjoyable time watching it. Obviously that means I like it quite a bit more than some.
Totally agree. That was a fun read and Adams had a great sense of humor. I did buy that detective agency book but haven’t read it yet. I really hope they never try to update Hitchhikers Guide series for a modern audience
Agreed completely. Oddly, I once owned that book as well, and also never got around to reading it. Maybe I should see if it's still around.
