Thanks, HarryT. I'm indifferent to the idea of anyone else trying to write a new "Hitchhiker" book, but I've been looking at the Artemis Fowl books for a while, wondering if I'd like them. I expect my local library has them, so perhaps I'll try borrowing the first one to see if it agrees with me. Your recommendation helps-- I don't expect or want one author to be "just like" another, but you seem to like some of the same authors I do, for some of the same reasons, so your recommendation is valuable to me.
