Stole this idea from the Observer Blog, because I got it wrong. The book I was thinking of starts out “Space is big. Really big.” This is one of the other ones. Which one?

The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This had made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I read via ***Dave a review of the new “h2g2” movie that… makes it sound like it just might suck, and that all the good jokes and lines are gone. If so, I think I’m going to be feeling very depressed. The list of things not in the movie is why.

Damn, I hate being disappointed when a favorite book is made into a movie. I might just have to re-read all the books again, or dig out my original BBC Radiophonic cassette tapes of the original radio series and take several long baths, in succession, until I feel better.
