The birthday of the brilliant Douglas Adams falls on the 11th of March in the other hemisphere, so I write this today. Those who know him better have many a kind word to say about the man. I didn't know him at all. I was just an avid reader of his works through my younger years.
So instead of saying many a kind word I will say this: He never wrote a dud so read them all.
