Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
For you Doctor Who Fans, the plot of this book is similar
to The City of Death with Tom Baker as The Doctor - and Douglas Adams
has a screen credit on this one.
Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul (paperback)
Another adventure for Dirk Gently.
The Ultimate
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Contains all six
of the hitchhiker novels: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the
Universe; Life, the Universe and
Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the
Fish; Young Zaphod; and Mostly
Harmless. Arthur Dent discovers we are not alone and
the two most important words in the galazy: "Don't panic."
Phantastes. The book that is more
real than the world you read in.
The Princess and the
Goblin. I read this as a child and held the story in my memory
but could not remember the title until I recently picked up a tattered copy
at a Friends of the Library sale.
Five
Children And It by E. Nesbitt. C.S. Lewis read this
as a child. So did I. Light shines from its pages.
The Wizard
of Earthsea. What are real words?
Also available in
paperback.
The Tombs
of Atuan. Also available in
paperback.
The Farthest
Shore. Also available in
paperback.
Time
Enough for Love. Lazurus Long, Methuselah among
us.
Stranger in a Strange Land
Farnham's Freehold One dysfunctional
family makes it into the brave new world after nuclear war blows this one
to kingdom come.
The Cat
Who Walks Through Walls : A Comedy of Manner
The
Gormenghast Trilogy published in one volume:
Titus Groan,
Gormenghast, and
Titus Alone
The Mouse and His
Child by Russell Hoban. Don't let the title
scare you. It was marketed as a children's book, but it's really for
adults. Available from Bookpages, a British bookseller.
The Plague
Dogs by Richard Adams. Snitter lives.
Time
and Again by Jack Finney. This is not about time travel
- it is time travel.
.Navigator.
In August, 1990, Susan was studying for the bar exam, and Alan was home with
Nick who had the chicken pox watching time travel movie after time travel
movie, wishing he was anywhere else in time or the universe. It didn't work,
but he did discover this great movie. The story of a medieval Welsh community
making an offering to God in 20th century New York in order to escape the
plague.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai (Peter
Weller, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldbloom, John Lithgow). "Must see
Buckaroo Bonzai." Buckaroo Bonzai and the Hong Cong Cavaliers save the earth
from aliens from the 5th dimension. (We have not yet found
a source for this film. If you would like for us to try, e-mail us at

Highlander
(Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery). Immortal beings fight for
superiority. We like this movie in spite of the sappy ending.
Somewhere in
Time (Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour). A love story. Another movie
we like in spite of the sappy ending.
Time
Cop (Jean-Claud Van Damme). Van Damme policing time. Good
movie. Sappy ending. (There is a pattern here).
Star Trek: The
City on the Edge of Forever (William Shatner, Joan Collins).
Our favorite Star Trek episode. Joan Collins plays Kirk's love
interest and the current in time that has drawn him back to earth circa 1930.
NO SAPPY ENDING. I guess TV can manage this concept without a sappy
ending.

Jumanji
(Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, Jonathan Hyde). Holds
you in its grip until you reach Jumanji and call out its name. Great performances
by Hyde as the father and the evil hunter.
