A tough act to follow

From the BBC website this morning: Children's author Eoin Colfer has been commissioned to write a sixth installment of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series.

Sorry, but no. That's one book that's not being added to my TBR pile.

Well, yeah. I was just thinking that if anybody could perhaps mimic Adams' style, it'd be Pratchett.

Pratchett is likely the closest in sensibility to Adams, but for that very reason he's likely far too wise to consider such a project.
