Day 13→A fictional book

Meaning a book in the fiction genre or a book that does not exist, that is fictional in and of itself?

It must be part of my nature that I'm getting Gramatically Grumpier as I get older. Why can't people just write clearly?

So, taking my cue from nalsa I'll believe this means A Book That Does Not Exist in Our Plane of Existence.

And that can only mean The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

I wrote about Adams' H2G2 a few days back so I won't go into it all again here. Suffice it to say, as a fictional work, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy cannot be topped. Even if you tried, they'd send something back into the past and sue to into submission before you could ever try and write your competing guide.

As a Guide, it should be noted that perhaps the most helpful bit to The Book is the phrase, "Don't Panic" which is written in large, friendly letters on the cover. That sums things up rather nicely, I believe.

amlaped, in our ongoing Pente games, commented today that he admired my ability to continue posting an entry per day here.

I responded that the structure of the 30 in 30 that nalsa posted through December, was a good framework for writing (here) in general.

I'm thinking of continuing this through February, but I need some suggestions for topics.

Think about the type of broad subjects listed thus far and leave a suggestion in the comments for what I should include in a 28 in 28 for next month. I'll collect the best, add my own, and see what I can do for next month.

Thanks!
