Which book in your life has had the most impact? - eviltoast

For me reading the Tao Te Ching was a game changer. Some of the ideas in that book really changed my perspective on things.

    The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It was one of the cornerstones of developing my sense of humor and starting a long (although now over) career involving comedy in one way or another.

      Really enjoying a reread of the entire series. Give a try to the Dirk Gently books if you haven’t.

      Is your career in comedy really over if we’re all still here laughing at you? And we are laughing at you.

        Your career in comedy was over before it started. I’m assuming this is meant to be an attempt at mocking him as a joke. I can’t even tell whether ur intending to be funny abt it or whether you just genuinely hope that makes him feel bad, if it’s the latter that’s honestly really sad mate.
