This has been a long time coming. I started reading before I started studying, the stopped halfway through. Four years(!) later I have finished it, and it was totally worth the wait. I can't think of many books which poke fun at the British with such love or eloquence.

Douglas Adams is far more eloquent when it comes to describing management speak than I am...

So this is the story of how I realised I was a nerd. I was driving back from my parents, listening to Katy Perry's ET, because, well, Spotify decided I wanted to listen. There's a line where Kanye says "I know a bar out in Mars", and my first thought was "dammit, there's a restaurant at the end of the universe, try harder man!". Books have ruined me... and I'm good with that #nerd #scifi #tryharder

Okay so Marvin 'the Paranoid Android' might seem a strange choice for my fictional best friend but what he says about his clinical depression is so ridiculous and funny I think he would, despite my mental ill health, make me laugh.

julesG Marvin is great. I like him very much. You would certainly find a great friend in him. 7y

MayJasper Yes @julesG Marvin and I could compare notes! Though thankfully my brain is not that large! 7y
MayJasper @Andrew65 too true 7y
