Welcome to Litsy!

Sadly, Salmon Of Doubt was never completed 😢 It would've made such an awesome book. Dirk Gently is such a cool character and I would've loved to read what Douglas Adams would've made out of this idea (where's the other half of the cat? 🤔) The book includes different by and about DA. Done didn't interest me that much, but many were hilarious. Just DA being DA.

“I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.“

Remembering Douglas Adams on his birthday.

Day 286.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

It was interesting reading these at the same time as Green's essay collection, in that I found some similar flaws (I wonder if they are flaws in essay in general). Overall, I enjoyed some of them, especially the tragically unfinished Dirk Gently book. Others interested me less or disappointed me. Mostly glad I read it though.

Listening to this #audiobook collection of letters, articles, and other pieces found on Douglas Adams‘ 4 computers after his death was a nostalgic delight. I had the great privilege of attending one of DA‘s readings in Germany in the nineties. At that time, he was promoting Last Chance To See. He was a great talent!

“First you had to fight the Stones fans, which was tricky because they fought dirty and had their knuckles nearer the ground.“ [4]

Not cool, man—not cool!

It's hard to rate this collection of essays, interviews, book forewords, and the incomplete third Dirk Gently book. I was entertained or educated by most parts, so it's definitely a pick. It's so sad that we lost him at such a young age.

In addition to listening at my normal times of day, I got some extra listening time while working this puzzle.

Absolutely brilliant. Adams has always been one of my favorite voices. And this book a brilliant collection of non-fiction and fiction shorts and an unfinished novel. Highly recommend for Big Fans. 5 out of 5 on GR

There's always a moment when you start to fall out of love, whether it's with a person or an idea or a cause, even if it's one you only narrate to yourself years after the event: a tiny thing, a wrong word, a false note, which means that things can never be quite the same again.

I spy a great space exploration book in the line on the new #Avatar Flights of Passage ride in #Disney ! They also had some selections by Jane Goodall and other conservationists and explorers, as well as some made-up books about the Na'vi. What reading material would you recommend to the research team?

I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.'
