feeling listless

Literature Just spotted these Amazon reviews from David Langford (Sci-fi writer and SFX columnist) and Lance Parkin (Doctor Who author) of Douglas Adams' posthumous work, 'The Salmon of Truth':

"And if I haven't done so already, here's where I lapse into cliche - Douglas Adams delighted millions; created characters and phrases that have passed into everyday use; he died tragically young; he made the most complex philosophical and scientific ideas seem so simple; I never met him but he made me feel that I knew him; I laughed aloud while reading this book."

Which is recommendation enough for me. Parkin's Who writing has always been slightly out of the box -- a bit different -- very Adamsesque.
