Mostly Harmless

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 06:27:10 GMT

I am going to finish the fifth and the last in the book "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy." It started to be a hilarious adventure in space, but getting towards the end, the fun is still there, at the same time, some philosophy in it. Get it or not, still think it's worth sharing

Excerpt from Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams

Trillian picked up a sandwich and looked at it. She sniffed it carefully.

“Try it,” said Arhtur, “it’s good.”

…… “What’s the meat in it?” asked Trillian.

“Ah yes, that’s, um, that’s Perfectly Normal Beast.”

“It’s what?”

“Perfectly Normal Beast. It’s a bit like a cow, or rather a bull. Kind of like a buffalo in fact. Large, charging sort of animal.”

“So what’s odd about it?”

“Nothing, it’s perfectly normal.”

“I see.”

“It’s just a bit odd where it comes from.”

……

“When I say they come from a point to the east of the Hondo Mountains, I mean that that’s where they suddenly appear. Then they sweep across the Anhondo Plains and, well, vanish really. We have about six days to catch as many of them as we can before they disappear. In the spring they do it again, only the other way around, you see.”

……“I see,” she said, ……“ and why are they called Perfectly Normal Beasts?”

“Well, I think because otherwise people might think it was a bit odd. Thrashbarg [a friend] says that they come from where they come from and they go to where they go to and that it’s Bob’s will and that’s all there is to it.”

“Who—“

[Bob here is the “almighty Bob” if you get what it means]

感覺很好

我的小說終於出版了! 今次，各大書局有售，叫我十分雀躍，因為以前自資出版的書，沒有書局肯擺放。

”感覺很好”是我很喜歡的作品，加上遇到好的編輯，好的設計師，我對此書十分滿意，在此特別感謝他們。

很多人問我書中的男主角是否真有其人，這個問題，我覺得還是等讀者自己去決定，畢竟，文字作品其中一個好處就是容許讀者的幻想嘛。

我的新書

我出版新書的消息一直不敢發佈，因為賣的地方實在太少，不好意思。

但既然我辛苦把它弄出來，應該盡快讓它和大家見面。

現在隆重宣佈：

”紫日的未來世界”已經出版

阿麥書房、陳湘記書局、人民書店有售。

希望大家多多支持
