Cry Fowl!

Today I caught up with Artemis Fowl author, Eoin Colfer.  Literally caught up.  I had to chase him down two alleyways, before finally rugby tackling him outside the Carphone Warehouse.

One way or another, though, I was going to congratulate him on being picked to write the next installment in Douglas Adams’ Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series.  He’s a lovely man, and we had a lovely chat for a bit, before I left him in peace.

I’m not sure how I feel about a new HGTTG book.  I think Eoin will make a great job of it, and that his style will be very suited to doing it, but I’m just not convinced it needs to be done.  We’ll see how it shapes up when it is released in 2009.
