Thor vs Odin

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.

Douglas Adams beyond the galaxy

Most if us know Douglas Adams as the genius who told us the adventures of Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. But you have not explores him fully until you have read Dirk Gently. I read the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency recently - thoroughly enjoyed it. A pity Dirk's adventures have not come out in a single volume yet - you will have to buy them separately, but it is totally worth it!! Amazon link.

I am yet to read the next volume, The Long Dark Tea-time of the soul. If the first Dirk Adventure is anything of a clue, second must desereve much more than a tea-time glance. Amazon link.
