This week was the first time I read anything even remotely science fiction since, oh, 7th or 8th grade. I chose “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” by Douglas Adams. Some of you may have noticed that I tweeted (you can follow me at 4lilpups) that the book smelled of cigarettes and loneliness. Sounds like a joke, but I really did have to hold the book down on my lap to keep from sneezing or getting a headache. I’ll admit I have no idea what loneliness really smells like, but I stand behind my assumption that previous readers may have been a wee bit lonely.
Now that I’m done being judgmental, I am free to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I’m not entirely sure I understood what was happening at all times (it seemed like 5 or 6 subplots were always going and I’m not sure my brain tied them all together in the end), but it was fun to read.
Look for a personal post over the next couple of days. Get excited!
Peace
