While I did enjoy this book more than the first one, I really get the vibe that author really does not like any of the characters they have written.

@sun Oh, quite different then to what I thought. He does go on odd tangents
@sun@shitposter.world @ullard@shitposter.world Yes there are times I find myself reading a passage and having to restart like 3 times before I ether kinda get it or just give up and move on because it is normally does not pertain to ANYTHING of importance and I can follow everything else just fine.
In terms of it being over hyped I only had one anoying kid who I met through a friend in High School make this books his personality outside of that I never heard much chatter about them except "Oh those are good". So luckily not too over hyped for me. I can get why they were big upon release for the humor in them shame I just kind of find them average. Also does not help I just get the vibe the whole time Douglas Adams wants to be writing episodic stories and not what I am currently reading on the page. 
@rain @sun You might like "The Meaning of Liff" if you've not seen that before, which he worked on with John Lloyd, and which is way lesser-known. The idea was to re-purpose place names as words for familiar concepts in life that need names. A lot of it is dated now, but a lot of these definitions I still think of all the time: https://sqt.wtf/~ullard/liff.html
Good examples: "clune", "low eggborough", and "humby"
