The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul
by Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams’ unique way of describing the mundane and the peculiar at the same time make him the master of setting a scene. The oddest occurrences are met with little exasperation by his characters, in Adam’s dry and witty humour. In a story where “everything is connected” loose ends and red herrings are even more of a puzzle. Do the fit in nonetheless? What’s it all supposed to mean? (Oh, what a useless question with regard to Adams’ writing). The general taste of Douglas Adams’ books is one of confusion, but the good kind. You won’t see anything coming. And, per usual, the book is full of quotable moments, including one that has become something of a motto of mine
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I ended up where I needed to be.”
It is definitely worth a re-read, especially since I feel like I didn’t get half of it and can’t remember the other half properly. Adams’ manages to make confusion thoroughly enjoyable. Just don't except a linear storyline, neatly tied up loose ends or any other sort of satisfactory conclusion.
