new book: ’42: Deep Thought on Life’
Written on March 14, 2008
This seems like an appropriately numerical title in celebration of Pi Day (3.14)…
42: Deep Thought on Life by Mark Vernon sounds like some Monty Python joke, but 
here is the book description:
Mark Vernon takes his inspiration from 42 of the funniest, wisest, and quirkiest quotations about the big questions in life, and uses these as starting points for his brilliant observations. In each chapter he explains what the greatest thinkers of all time have had to say on subjects such as eternal life, work, love and sex, and the nature of happiness; he draws his own conclusions, and will provoke you to think deeply yourself!
BBC article by Vernon on ’42’ in Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide – (This may be an excerpt from Vernon’s book?); also the publisher’s site has a sample chapter.
I like this Author’s blog!
