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.

SamAnne Hmmm I need check this out! 2y
Jari-chan @SamAnne If you like Douglas Adams I can recommend it. It's a good collection, but mostly targeted at fans of the author. 2y
SamAnne @Jari-chan hah! Well,I‘m obsessed with salmon! 2y
Jari-chan @SamAnne Haha 😁 well, there's not a lot of actual salmon in the book, though😅 2y

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!

Aimeesue Last Chance to See is a great (but sad) book. I still mourn the Chinese River Dolphins. ☹️ 5y
Louise @Aimeesue Yes, you are so right. 💙 5y

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?

MrBook Great quote 😂. Welcome to @Litsy ! Enjoy your stay 😎👍🏻. 8y
HeySaidRenee @MrBook Thanks 😊 I figured with the 42 Litfluence score, a Douglas Adams quote was a good place to start on @Litsy 8y
