Nice HHGTTG ref.

I find this hard as i read so much, and dont consider books "good" in the general sence of others liking them and worthy of recomendation. which is odd considering how many things mentioned i like.

Anyway, basing this on books that have been profund reading moments, id say:

Dune series.

Robin Hobbs 3 trilogies involving the fool and Fitz.

Origin by stephen baxter.

Day after tomorrow and Stranger in a strange land by RH (MiaHM and ST both great too)

Loan wolf and Cub 1-28

The ender series is good, as is Weal of time, and alvin maker.

Sword of shanonara i expected to like but was utterly dire. didnt get past about 1st 100 oages of book 1. ugh.

Deadhouse gates is on my shelves to read.

HHGttG is too depressed. Which i understand is herasy.

peter F hamilton is great, adn i like john meaney too.

the dark tower had its moments. but im unsure about where its going and ahevnt finished it yet.

Ian m banks is interesting.

At some point i might list my favs of the clasic SF era, discounting all the RH i have.

A lot of my favorites are already mentioned here, like HHGTTG, Pratchett, Vonnegut, Simmons, so here a few others, since I don't want to sound repetitive (in no particular order):
* Winston Churchill - The Second World War
* Walter Moers - The Thirteen and a Half Lives of Captain Bluebear
* Scott Adams - The Dilbert principle
* Charlotte Chandler - Hello, I must be going
* Frederick Brooks - The mythical man-month

HHGTTG 1-5.

wtf why the downvotes

Well, since you asked, let's go back to your original quote (before you sarcastically edited it)...

"wow, Mos Def sounded much more intelligent on HHGTTG.... the "IQ 80" accent does not suit him"

The IQ 80 accent? As if everyone who speaks "ghetto" or uses slang must be unintelligent. No, Mos Def should go back to the corrupt and despicable school system of the ghetto (he grew up in Brooklyn) and learn himself some real English so us whiteys can understand him better! Then maybe he'll be more accepted into the mainstream media instead of being written off as another tokin' black guy for Uncle Sam to chuckle at. In reality, Mos Def is one of the leading underground hip-hop artists of our time, a man who actually has a message to his music, unlike 90% of the c"rap" that's out there talking about bling, guns and hoes. And as seen here, he's willing to speak his mind and say things in public that many people have thought but are too afraid (read: no balls) to say.

The accent doesn't "suit" him? Please. Do us a jig Mos! As if he's putting on some kind of act. Then to say he sounded more intelligent in some cheesy kiddy movie where he WAS acting, completely degrades what this man has accomplished in his lifetime - and believe me, HHGTTG is barely a blip on his radar.

On to the next quote...

"mos def might have a speech disorder, but luckily we can understand him alright.
cornell west.... who cares."

Speech disorder - pfft, yeah. Maybe he should start talking "more white" so that we can translate this foreign ebonic jibberish. See above.

Cornel West... who cares? Right, he's only a former Harvard professor, current Princeton professor, a best-selling author, civil rights activist, a well-respected sociologist and social critic especially when it comes to matters of race and religion, etc. etc. Nope, he's just using a bunch of big phony words I can't follow, therefore he must be talking out of his ass. In fact, Cornel West has many more meaningful things to say than you or I probably ever will.

I never thought I would give out downvotes, especially to people who upvoted my own video, but those comments completely missed the point.

wow, Mos Def sounded much more intelligent on HHGTTG.... the "IQ 80" accent does not suit him

did you even listen to the content of this? how his voice/accent bears any relevance to what he had to say is beyond me. valuable opinion? i think not

mos def might have a speech disorder, but luckily we can understand him alright.
cornell west.... who cares.

yeah, just the kind of retarded comment that you'd expect from people who can't see past the end of their eyelash. Go you

"Man then conveniences himself that black is white and white is black and is then trampled to death by a heard of zebras."

I loved the whole HHGTTG series so much, I think I need to read them again.
