The last time I was up to date with reviews was 2022-01-31. Since then, 208/381 books (54.6%) have been reviewed. We'll get there … eventually.

Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Cover of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

by Douglas Adams · published 1987 · read 2007-02-01
★★★★☆
Inevitably, the Dirk Gently books get compared to the Hitchhiker's Guide books. Lacking originality, I'll do the same. Yes, this book is much denser and a bit more absurd despite the fact that the Earth remains standing (er, revolving) and there are no aliens. It's also more geeky, or nerdy, or written to a British academic in-group. Or possibly against it.
