The first one is probably unnecessary because I believe that Neil tweeted about it, but Jenny Turner has an excellent article about The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on the Guardian Book Blog.

And finally, Timmi Duchamp quotes from Brian Attebery’s acceptance speech for the 2009 Pilgrim Award – some questions all critics should ask themselves.
