After I finished reading The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy pentalogy, I sought out all his other books and read them one by one. The Dirk Gently books were also amusing but it was Last Chance to See that I really fell in love with. He was telling us about a planet in peril - this time for real. He was telling us about the sleeping habits of rhinoceroses, the wisdom of elephants, the guileless trust displayed by exotic parrots and I thought maybe he was humanising these animals but when I got to the end, I realised he was telling us, we're not really all that special. There are better creatures out there in the world and we really have no right to extinguish their lives at the cost of our comfort.<br /><br />He was such a genuinely good man that when I read that he'd died, I felt the loss deeply. As if I'd lost a dear friend who'd made me laugh so many times. I don't feel this kind of kinship with any other author. Only with Douglas. Oh man, I'm sorry Astha, I haven't talked about your post at all.<br /><br />Yes, of course, we sometimes forget that things are not as bleak as they appear at first glance. :) They do get better, too.<br /><br />And because you like his writing, too, please do watch this video when you get time.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZG8HBuDjgc&ob=av3eTangled up in blue...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863311350462955038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353940306100083976.post-41610856069328160282012-04-26T08:20:28.781-07:002012-04-26T08:20:28.781-07:00I loved it!:) that is a beautiful analogy.Have you...I loved it!:) that is a beautiful analogy.Have you heard about the quilt one?
