Douglas Adams : A Salmon Of Doubt
Douglas Adams book "A Salmon of Doubt" is a very cool and interesting book. Technically , It was written by him, but it was published after his death. It was compiled of his letters to editors, his writing for other books that never came out, and his memoirs. It's a really good book, and shows behind the scenes look at Douglas ' writing. I recommend this book to anyone who has read a Douglas Adams book, np but not to anyone who is just starting out with his writing. Douglas style of writing is an acquired taste. But if you enjoy British humor, like the Pythons, then you will enjoy this book .

Douglas Addams, Last Chance To See
Douglas Adams "Last Chance To See " is an exploration of the world. The story is about Douglas Adams travels to find almost extinct creatures. These include Kakapos, the White Rhino, The Blue Whale, and the Aye-Aye. Douglas Adams travels far and wide to find these animals, even though there is little chance of finding them. For example, Douglas is told by a villager that there are incredible creatures in their area then the Fruit Bat he is looking for. So Douglas decides to stay there for a week. Here he finds the Pink Pidgeon, a slightly endangered species. He also sees the fruit bats he was looking for originally, to which his tour guide says, "They're not endangered. They're dozens of them." I recommend this book to any fans of Douglas' pervious works, such as "The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" . I also recommend this book to all fans of animals, as well as comedic writing.

Penn Jillette: Every Day is an Athiest Holiday
I have not been able to commit to a book for a few weeks. I have started reading this Penn Jillette book, and can't put it down. I saw some of the newest celebrity apprentice season, and thought chemistry between Clay Akien and him was explosive and funny. Penn is actually a great guy. He treats his kids nice, and really cares about his family, he respects everyone he knows, and treats Teller like a brother. He respects everyone on the show, even if he doesn't show it. This belief in equality between celebrities and normal people is a strong one. I think penn is a great example of a modest celebrity. I think people should look up to people like him as a role model, because she shows how deep celebrities can actually be, and is completely honest with himself and the audience.
