This was the book club selection for the group that I was hosting last night, so yesterday I decided that I better give it a quick read rather than depend upon my memory of the movie for discussion. As most of you probably already know, it is a unique blend of British wit and rambling adventures. I ...
I seen this book around a lot, but I had never taken the time to read it or even find out what it was really about. Really it's told kind of like a nonsense story, but it's very entertaining and full of philosophical bits. I enjoyed it very much. It sort of makes light of the whole idea of existe...
A nice quick re-read of this one that I have not read since the 1980's. I think I am somewhat biased since seeing the movie of this several times and waiting for things to happen like in the film. 3.5 Stars for a fun read.

Arthur Dents Tag scheint verdorben, als er erfährt, dass sein Haus einer Umfahrungsstrasse weichen soll. Dies ist aber schon bald vergessen, denn der ganze Planet wird von Ausserirdischen in die Luft gesprengt, um Platz für eine intergalaktische Schnellstrasse zu machen. Zusammen mit seinem (wie er ...
If I'm not really careful, this will be the longest thing I ever post here. Let's see how much restraint I have, shall we? I think I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the first time in 1987 (maybe 1988), and have read it countless times since then. I quote it all the time (frequently u...
Ridiculous, fun, and decidedly tongue-in-cheek. I'm only surprised it took me this long to check it out! Now I'll have to check out the others. Favourite passage: "Hey, they're shooting at us," said Arthur, crouching in a tight ball. "I thought they said they didn't want to do that.""Yeah, I tho...
This book is probably not for everyone: it hasn't got any deep thoughts and doesn't give you more stuff to think about. Sounds like a book I wouldn't enjoy, but I actually did: I like the sense of humour and well, I never really say no to a cute alien story.
It took a bit for me to get into it, but I enjoyed the book. It had just the right amount of comedy and sarcasm mixed with action and adventure. I didn't like the film the first time I watched it, in fact I didn't even make it through the whole movie. Eventually (many years later) I tried watch...
