Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
Blurb: What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common?
Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: This has been sitting on my "Oh yes, I'm going to read this very soon" shelf for years and despite really enjoying Adams' sense of humor I just have never gotten around to it. I really want to fix that!
Looks good. I never heard about this one before.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI have never read Douglas Adams but I do have The Hitchhiker's Guide on my shelf. I hope that you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteIt sure sounds interesting and different. I usually enjoy books with a bit of humor in them!
ReplyDeleteWell I must say that's a bit of a strange mix of characters.
ReplyDeleteThis and the first sequel have been sitting on my Kindke firever, too. I will be looking out for what you think. I liked Hitchhiker's Guide. 📚
