ARTHUR:
"oh."

FORD:
"what happened?"

ARTHUR:
"a sign lit up, saying do not push this button
again.."

i've, for some reason, never read. I think there's a mental
meltdown uptown.

All I hear is how essential it is.

wellll... to be perfectly honest, they are good books, they
make me happy, make me laugh a lot, BUT.. they are
quite poorly written - with that I mean the construction of
the novels.

to me they clearly seem to be written in an associative way,
with little planning while writing, which makes the books
kind of uneven structurally.

still.

they are essential.

You can't say they're poorly written. Adams is the writer
who opened my eyes for the english language. I totally adore
his style of writing.

The stories themselves are quite jumbled up, I agree to
that. Then again the storylines aren't all that important in
his books.

Read the two Dirk Gently novels if you haven't already.
They're fucking excellent. I tend to like them more than the
Hitchikeker 'trilogy'. His book with Mark Carwardine is also
a great read.

o hell no. they are NOT poorly written. you just don't read
them carefully enough and you've completely missed the
point. they weren't meant to literary masterpieces, thats
like saying Monty Python is badly lit. its a completely
invalid point.
