Third weekend, third book

[perlmonger]

On Saturday, we bought cat litter in the rain, and I helped ramtops craft what was quite possibly the best moussaka she's ever made (and that's a non-trivial achievement).

On Sunday, the sun shone (surely some mistake?), so we drove to Withernsea and walked, on the beach and along the prom, before retiring to a café for steak and ale pie for Mac, and Yorkshire pudding with sossidges and gravy for me, before returning home and Mac helping me construct a vat of chili from the last of the Dexter shin in the freezer.

2010.3: Long, Dark Tea-time of the Soul, by Douglas Adams
Who first wrote a gods-still-walk-amongst-us-but-forgotten-and-ignored story? I don't know, but this counts as one of the best such that I know (top of the list goes to American Gods, of course). I'll wander out on a dubious and shaky limb, though, to suggest this might be the best book DNA wrote.

I'd agree with that--while I love the Guide to bits, it did at times feel that he was constrained a bit because it was the Guide, and the books near the end just didn't work as well for me, while the ones at the beginning were early novels.

LDTTOTS is just a damn fine stand alone, better in many ways to Dirk Gently.
