The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy 6: And another thing

Thaoh — Tue, 12/15/2009 - 05:17

While some might want to hear more about the resurrection of BillyBot, I shall veer off from that string now. As there is something else I'd like to describe to your faces. Many people feared the release of the thing I am now going to write to you about. "It shouldn't be tried resurrected.", "They should leave it be as it is, as a homage to the original author." To them I propose this: Have we not learned anything from the open source community?

I recently borrowed a book from a friend of mine. While I usually am faster at chugging new books, I let this book gather dust most of the time I borrowed it. Which is a pity as it wasn't a bad book. Far from it, as my previous experience with the writer Eoin Colfer told me I was in for a good read. What I didn't expect was Eoin's digested "Douglas" writing mode. It's a literary thing, after reading a certain number of books you start seeing patterns in the way people structure their sentences. Sometimes you even start loving certain ways of describing things.

Douglas Adams' way of writing is somewhat similar to the by now ancient writer Pelham Grenvile Wodehouse, whom Adams himself confessed to liking. I myself has read a couple of Wodehouse's texts and I happen to like his way of writing as well. Thus I was surprised to see this new side of Eoin as a writer. He did absorb the Adams way of writing, fiddled with it added his own twists and touches and we ended up reading a marvellous piece of art.

Without fail I see that I am looking forward to the next crazy sci-fi book in this saga of unfortunate events. With the wonderful regular-guy Arthur Dent, his friends Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian McMillan, Random Dent and the rest of the universes they live in.

It's acquirable at Amazon.com

Your attempts at logic fails as there is no guarantee that one who loves to read, also loves to write in ways that pleases all the brains attempting to comprehend said writings.

It's not that I can't comprehend (to use your words) it. It's that it sucks. And knowing how to write so that people understand you is a fundamental skill!

I love how you don't know how to use your own blogging software by the way. You hit REPLY to REPLY.

People do understand me, it was proven by your own statement.

I don't think that it being understood is enough. It's like "Meh, it works." when it comes to programming, and we both know that's bad ;)

Your attempt at being funny with your way of writing is failing. It's making your texts hard to read. And I mean like "What the hell is this supposed to mean?" and "That doesn't make any sense!". If you love reading so much, why don't you know how to write?
