The Salmon of Doubt

***IronParrot*** · 06-22-2002, 10:02 PM

I just bought this. For those of you who don't know, it's the posthumous Douglas Adams anthology. The title is taken from the ten chapters of the unfinished third Dirk Gently book that Adams was working on before he passed away. It also has various other writings of his... many of them. Absolutely essential for anyone who loves his work.

I didn't even know it was already published until the other day at the bookstore...

I finished Salmon a few weeks ago, and...

You. Must. Read. It.

Before now, I just thought Douglas Adams was just a pretty funny guy. Then I read this and realized that he was unquestionably a genius.

And he loved the Beatles.

I love reading the tale about him and the biscuits at the station and thinking:

"Hey this is somthing that Authur did in one of D.A's books! So thats where he got his ideas from!
