This was a reread for my bookclub. Still funny. I listened to the audiobook this time and I loved Stephen Fry's narration per usual

WHAT I THOUGHT WEDNESDAY! So, last week I broke down and read, for the first time, the 42 year old, Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's been on my TBR for a long time so was it worth the wait ....

I read this 40+ years ago. I loved it and I remember laughing a lot. Found this more recent publication in an Op shop and decided to have a reread. Not a good idea. I didn't finish it . I want to remember that once I loved this book. Guess I'm not that person anymore????

CarolynM Oh dear, I loved it 40 years ago too. I‘ll just keep quoting it as appropriate and avoid the reread😆 1y
MrsMalaprop Me too Joy & @carolynm. Loved it so much! I vow I will not reread! 1y
Jeg @MrsMalaprop and @CarolynM I‘ve learnt a lesson, I‘ll remember the feeling but I won‘t be rereading any more loved books from my distant past. Recent maybe, but not from long long ago! 1y

The book is absolutely ridiculous, but I enjoyed it. I think it works because it is so out there, and a lot of it doesn't even need to make sense. It was good for a laugh, though.

Although I've never read this book nor watched the movie version, I recognized many of the lines immediately. I found it delightful. I don't think that I'm interested enough to finish the series, but this was fun and I'm glad that I read it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finished reading:
- the tagged book (not the first time reading it, I love Douglas Adams): #Roll100 #1 pick for January and #7 in #BookChain;
- A Comedian Walks Into A Funeral Home done: my February #DoubleSpin.

These 2 reads helped me get a #BookSpinBingo for this month, I think it is the earliest I was able to do this.

Vansa Super happy you like it! Who's the favourite character? Aren't so many bits rolljng-on-the-floor laughing hilarious?! 2y
ETALTON @Liatrek You should!! Pick it up when you need a good laugh. 2y
ETALTON @Vansa Marvin!! What‘s better than a manically depressed robot? Who thinks of that? I typically read dark heavy things and it took me longer than it should have to fully embrace the humor. But once I did, I was laughing out loud! 🐋 🌸 🐁 2y

CBee Howard the Duck 😂😂😂 I actually thought about that one. But then I remembered it kinda freaked me out 😂 2y
vivastory I *almost* chose Hitchhikers Guide. Howard the Duck. I should rewatch 😂 2y
RamsFan1963 @CBee @vivastory I'm not usually in favor of remaking my favorite movies, but I'd love to see Howard redone with today's CGI technology. Both Howard and the horrible aliens would be so much better. I'd want Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins in the remake, even if just cameos 2y
vivastory I could see a HTD remake. Speaking of adaptations, I LOVE the Hitchhiker's version featuring Martin Freeman & Sam Rockwell 2y
CBee @RamsFan1963 I would totally watch a remake! 2y

Just finished the first book. Absolutely hilarious. Never read anyone that thinks so out-of-the-box as Adams. Can‘t believe it took me this long to read this! I‘ve been super stressed out with grad school but I‘m finally trying to take some time to read more for pleasure. It feels like the only thing I‘ve been reading lately is counseling manuals and textbooks.

I am loving this! I love the fantastical, easy-to-digest world that Adams is building. His prose keeps my heart light yet is very substantial. It's a very palatable book to unwind with after a huge period of stress for me. Thankful and excited to get more into this world.

Hilarious and entertaining, full of space lingo and a unique variety of settings. Definitely worth reading but I can't say there was anything exceptional about it. I really want to watch the movie now!

DisneyFan Oh I love this book. I‘m a super fan. I wonder if the movie tie in isn‘t as good as original book. 2y

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is one of the most unique sci fi stories I have ever read as unlike most sci fi stories, it's not trying to tell a massive theme or being an idea of the future, it instead tells this bizarre and funny story that is sure to make you go “Wait what!”

One if my all time favourite books. It's one of the few that I actually like to re-read. It's wonderfully quirky, funny and clever at the same time.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reasons.

🌟🌟🌟1/2 A crazy ride through the galaxy with some quirky folks from earth and other. It‘s absurd, silly, and brilliant in places. Marvin the android is my favorite hands down. There isn‘t any way to explain the book, just go with it, don‘t overthink it you‘ll have more fun. And don‘t forget your towel.

A hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is a book about a survivor of earth's destruction's unwilling journey to discover outer space and the true purpose of our planet. Along the way he gets a guidebook to everything in the galaxy which gives the book its name.

If you like spacefaring science fiction novels or novels that explore humorous as well as philosophical topics, then you will adore this novel.

I give this novel a solid 9/10

Tristan.Urquhart A main theme in this book is the unknown, which appears in the novel as answers without question or questions without answers and how our humanity impedes us from understanding everything. 3y
MissYaremcio Awesome work Tristan! Such a classic! 6/6 3y
