De cand am postat aici am terminat 'The hitch hiker's Guide to Galaxy' de Douglas Adams, si am inceput alte trei carti.
To be perfectly honest, it has been an awkward experience getting through this book. It is in essence a quirky story about the future of humanity, written with a delightful, twisted sense of humour. My funny bone didn't calcify and turn to granite as I was reading it. I certainly didn't expect Vogon poetry, the main characters being thrown out into space, or a sperm-whale serving as weapon against a dead planet's missiles.
Douglas Adams is so sarcastic and goofy that he never stops surprising you with his next wacky declaration or scenario. I thought it was a very good read, but it takes someone that doesn't focus on all the details to understand and get the big picture.
It kinda trails a character that for the most part is unlikable and forgettable. But, unlike most other books I've read, the writer is obviously fully aware and still doesn't care. His style definitely does speak better to those with geek sympathies, as I don't find it hard to imagine people who wouldn't enjoy this book. I wouldn't enjoy their company, but still, they exist. This is because the book is true science fiction so a lot of the funny details are technical in nature. If you can't get past that then the book may just seem overly silly. Overall, it's definitely worth a try.
Cum termin si cu celelalte trei incepute, poate continui cu 'The restaurant at the End of the Universe', a doua din cele cinci ale seriei, sper ca voi avea timp.
Si pentru ca una din cartile mele favorite se intampla sa fie 'Winter Warriors' din saga Drenai a lui David Gemmel, am zis sa iau pe rand toate cele zece. Asa am ajuns la 'Legend', care in mare parte m-a dezamagit. Asa ca am lasat-o deoparte (desi ma oprisem chiar inainte de batalia pentru Dross Delnoch) si am reinceput 'Preludiu fundatiei' de Isaac Asimov, pe care din pacate o am doar in romana. Dar traducerea nu e rea si e destul de usor de citit.
Fiind in duty-free in aeroportul din Manchester, am gasit 'Kafka on the shore' de H. Murakami la un pret pe care nu i-am putut rezista. Asa ca am cumparat-o si am citit ceva pe avion, destul de captivanta, desi nu am apucat sa ajung prea departe cu ea.
Oricum, voi reveni cand termin cu vreuna din lecturile actuale.

probabil n-ai primit niciodata
telegramele mele sau poate
nu credeai ca e vital cand
lumea mea se descompunea
in ceasuri si goluri
de mine
au imbatranit in cadente
si sentimentele mele
sub greutatea
atator vieti netraite...
