My reading
(fast) das selbe in Deutsch
Here is a small selection from my bookshelf with short notes.
Douglas Addams
- The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
-
Narrates about Arthur Dent, a poor guy who has to leave earth very quickly
because earth is blown away to make room for a hyperspace highway.
It is also about Ford Prefect, an intergalactic hitchhiker.
On their way they meet a two-headed spacecraft commander, planet-sized
computers and offended robots. At the end of the last book they find
the one and only answer of life and the according question.
The continuation
- The restaurant at the end of the universe
- Life, the universe and everything
- Dirk Gentlys holistic detective agency
-
It is about dirk Gently, a detective with "holistic"
methods and an electric friar.
- Last chance to see ..
-
It is no novel like the other books but a description of some
of his journeys.
The journey at the research of dieing out animals and therefor
the last chance
to see ..
- Further books:
-
- So long and thanks for all the fish
- The long, dark tea-time of the soul
Terry Pratchett
-
Digger
Trucker
Wings
-
-
The carpet people
-
-
The discworld novels
-
Nevertheless it IS flat! These books are about a world, flat like a disk
and an edge you can fall over.
Born by four giant elephants on top of an even more giant turtle
floating through outer space.
On this world you can find all you need for good fantasy:
witches, sorcerers, assassins and of course DEATH.
