This description made me chuckle again. Authors sometimes painstakingly craft a person’s looks and attitudes. Here, Adams pulls it off in a sentence, but comparing two dissimilar things. As delicious as spoiled milk. As cuddly as a porcupine. As much sex appeal as a road accident. (Douglas’ description is better.)
I’ve been looking for some funny books of late–the kind that make you laugh out loud. They’re hard to come by. It takes more time to set-up the joke in literature than it does with quick visuals or physical humor seen in film and television. Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide had a few good laughs–mostly because of his dry wit and absurdity. You can learn more about Adams and his writing in GoodReads. And if you know of any books that made you laugh out loud, let me know!
