Eoin Colfer, Irish author of children’s books and something called the Artemis Fowl<\/I> novels (never heard of him or them), has been tapped to write a sixth Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/I> installment.<\/p>\n
…And Another Thing<\/I> is due out October of next year, and will feature all of the old standards: Arthur, Ford, Zaphod, Marvin, blah, blah, blah. It will apparently have a shiny, happy ending, as the article quotes Douglas Adams as saying that he wanted the series to end on a more upbeat note.<\/p>\n
Oh, goody.<\/p>\n
Everybody who feels that Douglas Adams had a singular voice which can’t be imitated, raise your hands.<\/p>\n
Yeah, me too.<\/p>\n
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to treat this book like the Matrix<\/I> sequels, the three Star Wars<\/I> prequels, and everything that happened after Aliens<\/I> and simply pretend it doesn’t exist. La la la, nothing to see here, move along.<\/p>\n
