So, I finally started to listen to the third installment of the Dirk Gently series. It was great, beyond par to any other work I can remember. The story was so straight foreward and completely interwoven, no idle fact not laced into the plot later on. Absolutely fell in love with it in the first few chapters...

Which comes to an above point 'listened.' I was listening to the Salmon of Doubt, an audiobook of those letters and articles pertaining to the post mortum collected words about Douglas Adams. Post Mortum, as in after death and thus no longer alive. Meaning whatever witty comment Dirk was about to make to the truck driver about his 3 ton Rhino cargo will forever be waiting to be said. Two imaginary men standing out on the side of a road frozen in time.

I'm gonna miss you Doug, only reminded of it more as time goes on.

His written works, for instance, are amazing.

Douglas Adams, the person, was amazing.



We pretend at being writers, for gods sake!

My early writing attempts were merely homages to his style and sense of humor. I have read a number of high minded works and pieces which have touched me deeply, but none made me desire to be like... no, I mean to say think like the person that wrote these things like the works of Adams.
