# sacrilege!
 
Adams pisses all over tossbags like Pratchett.
Probably cause he didn't churn out a lot of formulaic crap.. did you like the Dirk Gently books?

# the holistic detective agency?
that was odd, not surprisingly. Helped to quench the need for more hitchikers in a roundabout way. I think it's about time I read the 'guide in its 5 parts and those ones again. Think I read them at too young an age to appreciate them

# I like them both..
 
my only complaint about the first one is it's a little too OMG MACINTOSH COMPUTERS, but the story is very clever, and genuinely creepy in places.
Maybe I've re-read it too often late at night
