No, szalone to było. Wariackie. Ale jakoś, dziwnym trafem, wszystko się ładnie zazębia i tworzy zaskakująco konsekwentną historię w tym odjechanym (wszech)świecie. A wyjaśnienie pochodzenia ludzkości na Ziemi wydaje się całkiem prawdopodobne.

This was my favourite book in the series - clever and hilarious, of course, but also fascinating on philosophical and scientific levels. Parallel universes and infinite Earths - well there were at the start of the novel anyway. One thing I did notice after five books, however, is the lack of charact...

Less happens in this, the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's trilogy, than in the preceding three, but it is funny and clever in true Adams' style. The story includes a new Earth and a love interest for Arthur Dent (one that sends them soaring into the clouds). Three bowls gifted by the missing dolphin...

I visited Douglas Adams' grave at Highgate and partook in the tradition of leaving a pen. I'm not sure why that's done by so many. Were Adams' pens always running out of ink? I would have left a towel, but I didn't have one with me. Call me an idiot (I've been called worse) but until recently I d...

As with Princess Bride I'm phenomenally late to the Douglas Adams party, but in spite of my dislike for science fiction (and, to be fair, space-related science fact, for that matter), my resistance was been worn down and I thought I had half a chance of enjoying it on audio. When I saw an edition n...

Other authors didn't balance everything I loved about the original series - the character development, the humor, the soap opera elements, etc as well. I wasn't into a lot of these, actually, although there were only a couple pages long and sort of 'what if this had been different?' type stories. ...

The way I (probably mistakenly) see it, the answer 42 represents a view of cheery perfection. It's almost as though it is trying to be as divisible as possible simply to be helpful. Even its name is annoyingly perky. It is the number which represents what the established order (notably religion) has...

It took me a really long time to figure out that this is an extended Reagan joke and then I forgot and then I re-read it and had to look it up and re-realize it.

This might be my favorite book from the series because it's relatively happy but maintains a baseline of melancholy. And the image of Arthur and Fenchurch flying around is one that I think of a lot.

Elles recommencèrent deux fois le même cirque, jusqu'à ce que Tricia fût certaine que tout ce qui pouvait humainement être clair était aussi clair qu'il soit humainement possible de l'être.Elle commençait vraiment à être piquée. Elle avait même imaginé qu'un oiseau de Central Park l'avait scrutée av...
