How to narrow the answers to these questions? 🤯🫠
1. Maybe some characters from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende?
Xayíde, Ygramul the Many, Atréyu, Bastian Bathazar Bux, Carl Conrad Coreander, Grograman etc. have maybe had the greatest impact.
Fantasy seems to be the best & neverending source for weird names... 😄
2. The tagged one, among so many other options...

#BeginsWith
I had a few options here, but when in doubt go with Douglas Adams. I have this as both ragged old paperback and as Kindle edition, but neither of them has this particular cover. I just went with this one because of the way it makes the word #Long stand out. 😄

This was even more funny than I remembered, and I think I understood the end better this time, though it still gets a bit frantic. Revisiting Adams made me happy.

I'm having book attention issues again (lack of sleep and recharge time will do that). So July was not a great month in that I didn't read a ton and I DNFed at least one book. But I did read a couple of things I had fun with, and I'm going into the new month with 3+ books started, so who knows what will happen? #JulyWrapUp

1. It certainly wasn‘t a phase for me. 😅 I loved ALL mythology as a kid and willingly soaked up any culture‘s mythology that I could research. I‘m still this way.
2. Ugh, that‘s a tough one... Norse mythology would probably win out over the others by just the barest smidge.

Finished all the available Hitchhiker's Guide books available on Libby, and decided to move onto Dirk Gently. Unfortunately, only the second one is available and I haven't read the first.

I was excited to know it's read by the author. It occurred to me that I have never heard his voice. Adam's has a really good speaking voice, but for whatever reason I'm still unable to focus on the story. Might have to give another audiobook a try.

So I always have my TBR each month, but I also have a secret backup TBR, in case I finish all the books I was planning to read... this is the backup #MayTBR, but I'm thinking of switching the two lists this time! These seem a bit more comfort-read looking than what I originally planned...

This book was all over the place in the best possible way. I'm a little sad there aren't more of these. I will probably never look at a Coke machine in quite the same way.

Also, I think JK Rowling must be a Douglas Adams fan. The scene on the train platform took that opinion to the next level.

wanderinglynn I love the Dirk Gently books too. ❤️ 4y

This book is as weird as it's title. I realized Dirk Gently didn't have much to do here but that's his whole thing right!! he is a holistic detective after all.
This book is uncanny and inexplicable at times but is a fun read. Go for this if you like fantasy mixed with science fiction!!

madamereadsalot1 @jmofo it happened quite by accident. I bought them from an old book shop that, god rest it's soul, went the way independent used book shops in my area go, and that's out of business.

Adam‘s has one of my favorite conversational voices. Especially made entertaining by the fact every time I read “Thor” I see Chris Hemsworth. Adam‘s ability to convey the setting in quick, precise, character influenced sentences has always been perfect. I especially loved the addition of the female protagonist in this novel. 5 out of 5 on GR. I wish there had been more Dirk Gently.

#agameoffavorites day 5, while I do enjoy poetry and have favorite poets, I gotta go with sci-fi! Douglas Adams has been one of my favorites since I was 17-18. I adore Hitchhiker's Guide. But nothing can upset Tea Time as my favorite Adam's book. I know it's not as sci-fi-ish, but it is still classified as such. His favorite book, I can't find; but his favorite author was PG Wodehouse. He's an unread on my tbr pile.

@ErinSueG @WhiskeyMistress

jmofo I love Tea Time! It has it all, sci fi, fantasy, and jokes! I‘m gonna have to pick another author! 🤘😬 6y
madamereadsalot1 @jmofo oh the humor! I mean, who else is gonna write things like, "I've had the sort of day that would make St. Francis of Assisi kick babies"? Or learn that 9/10 of your brain is possibly for storing penguins? ?? 6y

Kid 1: “Hey, mom, what are you reading?”
Me: “It‘s called The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.”
Kid 1: “But why aren‘t you reading your buddy reads?”
Kid 2: “Yeah, don‘t you have those two big books as buddy reads?”
Me: ...

The moral of the story is: don‘t tell your kids when you‘re doing a buddy read.

saresmoore Meanwhile, Dad‘s been studying pretty much non-stop for an upcoming certification, muttering to himself & staring at his laptop for the past two weeks. Yet he gets no shade? Uh, double standard! 6y

saresmoore @Riveted_Reader_Melissa You are absolutely right! They are always spewing my own wisdom right back at me. 😆 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @saresmoore It stinks I know, but at least you know you taught them well. Maybe answer them back that you will finish this one by x day and then will start your buddy read...as in you have a plan and schedule and didn‘t forget your ‘homework‘😂.

saresmoore @vivastory Every day. Kids are the worst. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @saresmoore In all honesty, it doesn‘t hurt to be honest with your kids, that even adults struggle with planning. It‘s important to know your limits, not commit to too many extracurricular activities (buddy reads), but it‘s still important to try to meet your obligations and plan time for important things before deadlines. It never hurts to show them that all humans struggle with the same things and use the same ways to cope and plan better.😉 6y
saresmoore @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Amen! I have a pretty serious perfectionist streak, too, so seeing me be particularly human is always helpful. 6y
