I was thinking about it today and realized that the book that has most influenced my artistic thought and production has not been anything big and fancy or erudite, instead it has been Douglas Adams' book Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
It just so happens that there is a new radio play being made of the book available via podcast here: http://dirkgently.podomatic.com/
Perhaps I will elaborate more, but for now I wanted to share that. It is fantastic book, on par with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It really seemed like a vehicle for Adams to express some ideas that he had instead simply of weaving a narrative.
UPDATE: Unfortunately the podcast radio play that I linked above...is...pretty bad. If you are interested in this book, don't listen too it via that podcast just buy it and read it.
