THE MEANING OF LIFF
   I flipped through the book quickly and couldn't imagine spending even
$.02 for such a piece of garbage.  Those of you who read this electronically
can get better entertainment by typing "fortune -o".  None of the examples
I read were funny.  I even searched for humour or satire or semantic content
and didn't find any at all.
   Don't bother buying this if you find it, just wait for it to be remaindered
at $.09 at some discount bookhouse.  Then you can pass it up and feel really
smug.
My Rating: .5 out of 5
P.S.  The "real" Adams books all rate 4.0+ out of 5.  Go spend your money on
another copy of those.
P.P.S.  I suspect Adams' towel wore out and he sold LIFF to get the money to
buy a new one.  Either that or he had too many GargleBlasters
