I won't try to describe this book (it's been quite some time since I picked up an Adams book), so I'll let you decide what this book is about. I've included the amazon.com review page so that you can get the general idea of what this book is about.

My brother gave this to me so that I could start a book ray with it. :)

I just recieved the book in the mail yesterday, and I'm happily making my way through the chapters, enjoying every page and DNA quirk, which so far have been quite plentiful (Makes sense, doesn't it, for a book written by Douglas Adams to have the writing style of Douglas Adams? I think so, and I'm sure the flock of teraflamingulls flying over brookshire would agree, that is, if they could read english. Teraflamingulls have never been good at anything in particular, except flying back and forth over brookshire, and this puzzled the residents of brookshire greatly, until one of them realized that this was all a fabrication, and that none of it mattered anyway.) :-) I'm only through Chapter 5, but I believe I shall make quick work of this book yet, in order that the next person in the book ray might enjoy it as soon as possible!

Well, I'm a little more than half way through, and it so happens to be finals week. I should have it done by the end of the week, at which point I'll contact the next person on the list... asuzachan. Share and enjoy!

Oh man, I can't believe it's been a month! Well, that's how long I've had the book read for... So sorry. My apologies to the rest of the bookray. Anyways, I've finally gone to the Post Office and sent it off, with tracking number 0305 2710 0001 1338 9166. Share and enjoy!

It is now on its way to its next reader in Ventura, CA.

I received this book in the mail today. Perfect timing, as I finished a book yesterday. I'll start on this one immediately.

I rather enjoyed this book. At the start everything is a little spread out, but it all comes together in classic Adams fashion. Now that I've read this, the only Adams book that I haven't read is The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

I PMed verbdancer for an address this afternoon before I finished the book, but I haven't heard back yet.

Despite repeated attempts, I was unable to contact verbdancer, so I sent this off to esperanza03 this evening via media mail.

I received the book in the mail last Friday, and then forgot to leave a journal entry. I will hopefully be finished with it by this weekend.

I just couldn't get into this one. I want to think that it was because of my busy schedule during the holidays. I am a huge Douglas Adams fan, so I will definitely have to try this one again later. I sent the book to verbdancer yesterday.

The book came in the mail yesterday, and I'm 60 pages into it so far. Great read!
