How to narrow the answers to these questions? 🤯🫠
1. Maybe some characters from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende?
Xayíde, Ygramul the Many, Atréyu, Bastian Bathazar Bux, Carl Conrad Coreander, Grograman etc. have maybe had the greatest impact.
Fantasy seems to be the best & neverending source for weird names... 😄
2. The tagged one, among so many other options...

Sadly, Salmon Of Doubt was never completed 😢 It would've made such an awesome book. Dirk Gently is such a cool character and I would've loved to read what Douglas Adams would've made out of this idea (where's the other half of the cat? 🤔) The book includes different by and about DA. Done didn't interest me that much, but many were hilarious. Just DA being DA.

SamAnne Hmmm I need check this out! 8mo
Jari-chan @SamAnne If you like Douglas Adams I can recommend it. It's a good collection, but mostly targeted at fans of the author. 8mo
SamAnne @Jari-chan hah! Well,I‘m obsessed with salmon! 8mo
Jari-chan @SamAnne Haha 😁 well, there's not a lot of actual salmon in the book, though😅 8mo

Great fun but impossible to summarise without spoilers.Although it is unrelated to H2G2, they are noticeably akin.

Remembering Douglas Adams on his birthday.

I think I can definitively say I've “outgrown“ Adams's humor. There is a lot to like in this especially if the slightly absurd is your cup of tea but for me this was a little underwhelming. I didn't hate my time with this but I also didn't think it was laugh out loud funny either. Solid story where seemingly disparate elements come together in the end but only just okay for me.

HeyT This was my #BookSpin for July @TheAromaofBooks 1y
RamsFan1963 I liked the TV series more than the book. 1y
TheAromaofBooks He's an author who only sometimes works for me. I don't know if it's my mood or his writing that doesn't always mesh haha 1y
Kimberlone I could only get through the first couple Hitchhikers books…they definitely get repetitive and his sarcastic writing loses some of its charm 1y

#BookReport
Pretty good reading week. Finished the last three Earthsea installments in my omnibus so I got to cross it off my bookspin backlist. Also got about half way through Dirk Gently.

#Weekly Forecast
Goal this week is to finish both Dirk Gently and Anansi Boys and try to keep up with my 155 page a day schedule.

#BookCoverChallenge
Day 286.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
