The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
4 journalers for this copy...
I read this book a long time ago; I remember it being very funny. This is an extra copy I have lying around.
Sending to crimson-tide through a reverse wish list relay.
Caught safely in my post box today as part of an
"Intl. Reverse Wishlist Relay".
Thanks zugenia.
Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphod’s girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he’s bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? For all the answers, stick your thumb to the stars!
Amusing but not laugh out loud funny for me. I can see why it became a cult classic in its time though. I think maybe I should have read it last century when I was (a lot) younger...

This little book slipped into my mailbox today. I have been hankering to reread this old favorite, but didn't want to carry my big omnibus collection of all the books around. So I'm very glad to see this copy.
