Meaning Of Liff

douglas adams is my favorite author. he just saw the world a little differently than everyone else and the universe was his oyster. this book was quite different than his other works because of the subject matter, but he still wrote it in his style and kept it pretty damn funny.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I kept finding things in it I could use in everyday sentences. Who hasn't experienced the sensation of woking? I had heard of this product through one of Adams's other books - Salmon of Doubt, so I kind of had an idea of what it was about. Anyone who enjoys Pratchett or Monty Python will get a kick out of this book.

A hugely funny and original idea, wittily expressed, that makes me cry with laughter. I particularly love the definitions that apply to the place of my birth, Sutton and Cheam. I don't think "genius" is too extreme for the quality of this work: the apex of British humour and Weltanschauung. Don't be scared by that earnest endorsement ... it is just that I sense that the concept and its realization appeal to a particular set of sensibilities, and my English friends and relations love it while some more solemn friends do not, alas, get it. I know that I will treasure this book and return to it often. It is very dippable-into - but on the other hand, I find once I look, I can't stop reading "just one more".

Like the jokes, didn't understand all of them...on the whole a very good book.
