minus-squareBebo@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoJust started on a re-read (audiobook) of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams, also read by him. Oh I love him as a narrator! Also continuing with Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol.
minus-squareEq0@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoI couldn’t finish Dead Souls. It’s supposed to be hilarious, but i just did not get it. How do you like it so far?
