Day 27 - The m,ost surprising plot twist or ending

27. The most surprising plot twist or ending

Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
Before it was a movie, it was a page turner mystery and I enjoyed it very much. A writer has to be on his toes to keep me from guessing who the killer is and in this one, I did not know. I have not read the sequel as I have no real interest in it. The plot is a mystery told from the pov of a lawyer accused of killing his girlfriend. He did not do it and we are surprised in the end by who did.

It is said to be the best of Turow’s novels as well. It’s worth a read.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

One of the Hitchhiker books and it is exactly what it sounds like. Or read this. It’ll tell you better than I can! Or not.

“The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is one of the most extraordinary ventures in the entire history of catering.

It is built on the fragmented remains of an eventually ruined planet which is (wioll haven be) enclosed in a vast time bubble and projected forward in time to the precise moment of the End of the Universe.

This is, many would say, impossible.

In it, guests take (willan on-take) their places at table and eat (willan on eat) sumptuous meals while watching (willing watchen) the whole of creation explode around them.

This, many would say, is equally impossible.

You can arrive (mayan arrivan on-when) for any sitting you like without prior (late fore-when) reservation because you can book retrospectively, as it were, when you return to your own time (you can have on-book haventa forewhen presooning returningwenta retrohome).

This is, many would now insist, absolutely impossible.

At the Restaurant you can meet and dine with (mayan meetan con with dinan on when) a fascinating cross-section of the entire population of space and time.

This, it can be explained patiently, is also impossible.

You can visit it as many times as you like (mayan on-visit re onvisiting ... and so on – for further tense correction consult Dr. Streetmentioner's book) and be sure of never meeting yourself, because of the embarrassment this usually causes.”
-- Douglas Adams The Restaurant at the End of the universe
