Day 7 Book Photo Challenge: This Book Inspired Me

We all know by now that this is my favorite book but now it has inspired my do something I haven't done in quite a while. Draw. I'm not that good and I am surrounded by people that are but drawing these quotes from the book have allowed me to enjoy my drawing again.

Day 5 Book Photo Challenge: Favorite Non-Human Character

Couldn't split this one. These are Marvin; the paranoid android from Douglas Adams' Hitch Hiker's series and The Luggage from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

Luggage was made from sapient pearwood and is featured in (amongst others) the very first Discworld book The Colour of Magic (1983) and I have always wanted one. Most of the time he is mildly annoying but some times he saves lives. (see luggage is a he as they find a female luggage in Interesting Times and they have children.) 

Marvin on the other hand, I have always loved because I felt a kindred spirit with him. Not so much the "brain the size of a planet" thing but the "life, don't talk to me about life" thing really spoke to me as a teenager. Where as others had grunge and rock stars, I had Marvin. And now he's on my car keys wherever I go.

Literary Photo Challenge Day 14: Favorite Character Name

I am running a little behind at the moment so here is catch up time.

Slartibartfast is one of my all time favorite character names for the shear ridiculousness of it. It was so ridiculous Adams even acknowledge  it in the dialogue between Slartibartfast and Arthur Dent.

That and my Mum used to call my brother and I Slartibartfast just as a funny word to say and not tell us where she got it from.

Douglas Adams' Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a great one for awesome names anyway but this will always be my favorite. 

Book Photo Challenge Day 2: Favorite Series

Day 2 photo challenge. The Hitch Hiker’s  Guide to the Galaxy series. 

The large book is actually an omnibus of the famous trilogy in four parts but I thought I would add in the other two too.
I have talked about my love for Douglas Adams before but seriously, how awesome was the man!
