Douglas Adams does it again. He
takes an idea that is ludicrous and makes us realize that it is much more than
some ludicrous idea. It is something to
be desired because it inspires adventure and something to be sought after
because it inspires thinking. A personal
philosophy is what Adams’ stories sell.
Not just his own personal philosophy.
He sets up a ludicrous idea/world and then has the lead character simply
go with it and learn from it. They live
from moment to moment and do not get hung up on the past. They learn to think which makes the reader
learn to think since they are reading through the lead’s perspective. A personal philosophy can be found within
every Adam book. It is not just his own,
but that of the characters and readers that are discovered.
