My Library

I just finished reading Mostly Harmless, by Douglas Adams. As usual the book is hilarious. The end is not what I would like, but if Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett were to take up the gauntlet, I can imagine a sequel opening with the Electronic Thumb at work. And, as is pointed out numerous times throughout this book, the Great Mish Mash is all about infinite probabilities....nowhere more infinite than in the Plural sectors like our own.

It's good to have another book with Trillian (times 2), Arthur and Ford, though it nice if it had Zaphod and less Vogons. But perhaps Arthur's daughter is meant to make up for a lack of Beeblebrox. I believe I may have found a new calling from all this though, Sandwich Making:

There is an art to the business of making sandwiches which it is given to few ever to find the time to explore in depth. It is a simple task, but the opportunities for satisfaction are many and profound: choosing the right bread, for instance. The Sandwich Maker had spent many months in daily consultation and experiment with Grarp the baker and eventually they had created a loaf of exactly the consistency that was dense enough to slice thinly and neatly, while still being light, moist and having the best of that fine nutty flavor which best enhanced the savor of roast Perfectly Normal Beast flesh.

Note: One of the Amazon reviewers was having a bad day and simply wasn't very bright as he wrote that the book «makes no sence.» The other had some of the same character issues I did, basically the absence of Zaphod (and the forgettable Fenchurch), but even at that was especially harsh with only 2 stars. This should have been 4 or 4.5 stars average and I'd give it 4.
