His wit is unmatched. This article, like his one on the last movement of Brandenburg 5, just showcases how underrated he is at conjuring a sense of wonder!

Man, I miss Adams so much. I remember reading this essay back when The Salmon of Doubt came out, but it's been ages. Thanks for finding it.

Such a fantastic line (like so many of his).

Seems like I remember him dying shortly before 9-11 after, of all things, exercising. (and shilling heavily for Macintosh, which actually was a pretty good system for a writer then)

Brilliant. His book ‘Last Chance to See’ is often overlooked. But a brilliant travelogue in his signature style, similar to this piece.
