Yes, this one. And yes, he uses the word "holy" for it. Just searched for it and
saw the stupidity. I should admit there is no word that coinsides with
holistic...:-(
Actually, I can read many original English books from other authors, but simply
coulnd't imagine myself trying to solve what the hell is tried to be described
in chapters like the one explaining newly introduced(?) tenses to be used in
coinsidence with time travel... I think I can't read Douglas Adams with my level
of English..:-(

Actually, I've just learned that It's from another novelist, Tery Jones, but
based on a Douglas Adams Game. From the size of the font used for the name
"Douglas Adams" on the cover page, it seems to be something like a marketing
fake. Aanyway, I like it..:)

Actually, I found his novels somehow similar to style of Boris Vian, in "L'
Ecume Des Jours" (can't find its English name, and the Turkish one is difficult
to translate). I'll search for Terry Pratchett, too. thanks for infroming
me...:-)
