The second installment of Dirk Gently's adventures, 'The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul', was much more exciting than the first. Full of typical Douglas Adams quips, it was an awesome read.The last time I saw such humane side of gods was in the great epics - Mahabharatha, Iliad etc etc. Douglas Adams reminds of a lost style of writing - free of all the mundane philosophy into the true imaginations of humans who create the gods. To put it in a nutsehll, there is a difference between talking about imaginations and imagining things - and Adams is a citizen of the latter class :).
It was a pity I lost the book when I had another 50 pages left to finish the book - the first time I lost a book in at least four years :(. Well, pain of losing a book is nearly as bad as joy of buying one.
I better try reading this once.
ReplyDeleteYou totally should...it is a very 'raghavisque' novel :)
