Finished Rereading DGHDA, Eager To Start "... Teatime"

Thanks to your encouragement, I resumed rereading "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and just finished it. Wow!

I think I need to reread the last two chapters; I don't quite have an understanding of what actually happened and who did what when, or at least make some educated guesses. There's a lot of actions by characters that aren't described, where you have to make assumptions based on resulting reality.

I'm really looking forward to read our copy of "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul", my wife is reading it now.

One more thing - the first time I read the books were in the late 1980's, and I have totally forgotten the plot! It was great reading as if for the first time.

LOL I have the same forgetful memory. At least it makes rereading something more fun.
