Douglas Adams

My initial thoughts were that Douglas Adams was that he was very interesting and quite funny.

I watched Douglas Adams speaking on Ted Talks, he spoke about his trip to the Galapagos islands where he came into contact with various people, endangered species and venomous snakes. He goes on to address environmental issues which leaves a startling effect. What he says is very interesting.

I feel that Douglas Adams is interesting to listen to but I don't find his humour that funny. I can see why so many people love listening to him and reading his books however I struggle to enjoy listening to him live and it's put me off him a bit.
