Douglas Adams, How I miss you

Yes - no posting of late. It's not due to lack of material - I'd love to be posting multiple times a day. Suffice it to say that 4Q is kicking my butt - in a good way.

So my reading has been quite erratic of late. Sucked into a bit of Heinlein for a while until I couldn't read faster than the library wanted it back. Read Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" and was floored. Awesome, awesome story. Read....only 8 years after most of my friends. Want to review.....

I was going through my office things, (Will's room is there now), and came across all my books. I found a pristine, uncracked copy of "Salmon of Doubt" by Douglas Adams. I began reading it on the way back from Chicago Tuesday night and continued it on the train today.

*sigh*

It was so nice to read something intelligent and funny. It had me grinning like a fool...and slowly tearing up once I realized how a brilliant light has gone out, never to put pen to paper again. Ah well, back to the funny and amusing. ;)
