sorcyress: Drawing of me as a pirate, standing in front of the Boston Citgo sign (Zor)

Well, it IS an obsession...

I...may in fact have too many Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy related books.

See, I'm packing for college, and I made a nice neat stack of them, with all my other books. I have ten.

*The movie book
*The first comic book
*The original radio scripts for the first 12 fits
*My blue copy of the complete guide, for highlighting and writing in
*My black leatherbound copy of the complete guide, for looking nice
*My new paperback copy of the complete guide, in, erm, Swedish
*A copy of the first book bought in London
*A copy of the first book in German
*A copy of Life, The Universe, and Everything that I bought for something like a quarter at a book sale
*A copy of So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (since it's my favourite)

Yeeeeeah. And on Dimi, I have the first three radio series. Moderately obsessive, yes.

OH! And *somewhere* I have the prologue to the Hijackers Guide to the Galaxy all printed out and mailed to me, which I wound up originally reading during a really shit tech job. So that's awesome too.

And I'm probably going to wind up snagging the DVD, although I know there is no way mum will let me drag the miniseries up to Bawston.

A girls gotta have her fandoms, after all. I wonder where I can get a couple copies of the towel --merely having a largish bath towel from Marks and Spencers is lovely and all, however...

MOOP!

Cool, now I know what to get you for your birthday. Of course I will have to trek into the deepest darkest depths of the Amazon to find it.

Happy Belated Burrfday!

(Yeah, I need more hardcover copies of my favorites. The sense of permanence outweighs the increase in mass.)

My only hardcovers are the two english versions of the complete guide. Oh, and the british edition.

I'll find hardcovers for the rest, eventually.

[*wants*]

Are these in burnable format? I've been looking for the radio series and I can't find it anywhere. Tertiary Phase? You bet. Not the original series.

And no, no more obsessive than, say, me. (Four sets of LotR, three (at least) complete works of Wm. Shakespeare. Every book Peter S. Beagle and Richard Cowper ever wrote. And H. Beam Piper. Including Murder in the Gun Room.

Not obsessive at all, really...

I have em in burnable format. Bookmarked mp4, which will play with itunes and should play with other stuff, and also has the niceness of only being one file per phase, which is itself bookmarked per episode.

When I say "em" I mean everything except the Quaternary Phase. But, well, 3-5 are ick.

Having hijacked Sorcy's LJ, ooh...

So, what do I need to do? Begging included...

[identity profile] thorog.livejournal.com 2007-08-30 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either get me to send it to you or Sor. Alternatively, I could probably upload to somewhere like rapidshare, but with about 150MB per phase that's kinda big. I could probably fit them onto CD, though...

So, um, if I did start reading through HJG2 and sending them to you...?
