I've had a headache for a week straight now (my head is pounding as I type this), so I've been trying to lay low when I can, which means I've been reading quite a bit. In fact, I started The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
If you know me and my reading habits, you would probably be shocked that I am just now getting around to reading this cult favorite. In fact, I'm surprised at myself -- but even fanatical readers have weird holes in their libraries. Fortunately this was rectified when I came across a bunch of sci-fi novels at a garage sale (yes!)
If you are a fan of sci-fi, absurdest comedy, or both like me, you will really enjoy this book (think Asimov meets Vonnegut). Funny, thought provoking, and just plain fun. I am very happy that this gaping hole in my library has now been filled.
This is a not to be missed book. Better late than never!

Hope you feel better. The rest of the series is pretty funny, too, but the first one IMHO is the best. One of the few books I've re-read several times!

Sorry about your headache. They can really take it out of you. Love that series; read it years ago when my oldest daughter fell for them. Truly funny.
