Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

A fun book discussion hosted at an awesome pub. What more could you want?

(Also! After the book discussion from 7:30 - 8:30 those who wish to may share a one-page short story based on the following prompt: "The year 3000". Write whatever you want based on the prompt. The word-count is normally up to a page long, but do whatever you wish!)

From Goodreads:

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common?

Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

To find out more, read this book (better still, buy it, then read it) – or contact Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. ‘A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-whodunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy epic.’
