Just tonight, I finished reading The Anansi Boys, a novel by Neil Gaiman. I picked this up on the recommendation of Steppanwolf and enjoyed it greatly. I figure I can save a lot of writing time by simply saying this:
You know how on the back covers of books there are little blurbs from respectable people gushing about the novel and telling you what a talent the writer is? The stuff written on the back of this book is pretty much true. Comparisons to Douglas Adams - as well as the great-grandfather of Adams' style, P.G. Wodehouse - are both fair and accurate.
Speaking of Douglas Adams, I was wondering around YouTube and came across what appears to be Arthur Dent singing The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" while accompanying himself on a ukulele. It's somehow reassuring to note that he's still having considerable trouble with his lifestyle.
