I love Douglas Adams
I've been reading—or rather, listening to recordings of—lots of Douglas Adams while at the gym recently. My most recent find, Last Chance to See, is a non-fiction romp around the world locating endangered species which is really mostly one long rumination on the human condition. It's pretty entertaining. For example:
#Foreigners are not allowed to drive in China, and you can see why. The Chinese drive, or cycle, according to laws that are simply not apparent to an uninitiated observer, and I'm thinking not merely of the laws of the Highway Code, I'm thinking of the laws of physics. By the end of our stay in China I had learned to accept that if you're driving along a two-lane road behind another car or truck, and there are two vehicles speeding towards you, one of which is overtaking the other, the immediate response of your driver will be also to pull out and overtake. Somehow, magically, it all works out in the end.
What I could never get used to, however, was this situation: the vehicle in front of you is overtaking the vehicle in front of him, and your driver pulls out and overtakes the overtaking vehicle just as three other vehicles are coming towards you performing exactly the same maneuver.
Presumably, Sir Isaac Newton has long ago been discredited as a bourgeois capitalist running-dog lackey.
