Thread Name: BS: Terry Pratchett
Subject: RE: BS: Terry Pratchett
keberoxu, I'm partial to anything about the witches.


Sorry, re: Douglas Adams, I meant The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I'm sure you knew what I meant.

I'm trying to think of the name of the very funny book written under a pseudonym of a very famous author whose name is also sliding away from the conscious side of my brain.

Thank the gods for internet searches: Kurt Vonnegut had a recurring character called Kilgore Trout so my memory said that KV wrote under that pseudonym but Venus on the Half-Shell, was written by Philip José Farmer and published under the name "Kilgore Trout". It's a short but very funny book. Cockroaches are taking over the universe.
