Quite possibly my new favourite book of all time!
I love the way that Douglas Adam’s thoughts work - his views on philosophy or everyday life things, unique but hilarious and eye opening.

This book made me experience the complete range of human emotions. Obviously it was hilarious - it's Douglas Adams- I didn't expect to laugh out loud multiple times which is rather rare for me. Obviously I need to reread hitchhikers guide. Perhaps a little less obviously it is very sad as it deals with endangered species - some of which have died out some have flourished after the books publication -. And it is infuriating because it is *our* fault that they did. Humans are kind of dicks to our fellow animals. But there is also hope in it and seeing the men and women who try so hard to help those species is heartwarming.

This book was released in 1990, the radio broadcast happened in 1989 and what Adams talked about happened in the 80's. The extinction rates since have gone up and I can't help but feels it is all futile when in comes to saving these species from extinction, for every kakapou that hatches another less some insect or lizard goes extinct and that makes me very sad.
