The Salmon of Doubt
by Douglas Adams (William Heinemann, 2002); audiobook read by Simon Jones (Phoenix, 2005)
A patchy, posthumous collection of Adams writings (predominantly non-fiction) exemplifying his off-beat, self-indulgent style, his knack for pinning down human absurdities, and his incurable technophilia and recycling of ideas and anecdotes. Most tantalising for fans is the nascent unfinished Dirk Gently novel(la).
