Saturday May 25 is both Towel Day and Geek Pride Day, which naturally reminds us of the greater writer, Douglas Adams, and his seminal work The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Fry reads what Adams wrote.  Writer and former Voice editor S.D. Livingston opines that writers should stick to what they do best, and leave author readings to performance professionals  “Writers grab our attention and transport us to other world…it’s a rare author indeed who can bring that skill to a live performance.”  Write Stuff—Silent Treatment, April 29, 2011.

For all you hoopy froods.  Barbara Lehtiniemi gives the geeks their due in honour of their day.  “Somewhere in the maturity process, many people lose their capacity for wonder. Geeks don’t. They never stop wondering, ‘Why?’ They never stop asking, ‘How?’ and, ‘What if?.'”  It’s All Geek to Me, May 23, 2014.
