Just started on a re-read (audiobook) of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams, also read by him. Oh I love him as a narrator! Also continuing with Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol.

I couldn’t finish Dead Souls. It’s supposed to be hilarious, but i just did not get it. How do you like it so far?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm finding it funny enough to enjoy it. Not hilarious or amazing.

I loved the Dirk Gently show, I honestly forgot it was a book! Never read (or listened) so thanks for this reminder! Adding it to my list for sure!!

However, the plot of the show is very different from that of the book. Though both are interesting in their own way.

Ah, good to know.
