#38 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I can’t recall when I read this. I did when I was younger in jr high or high school. It began my love with the nonsense and humor that can be in books. This one kind of capped it off. Just funny, odd, different and out of the norm.
I am not sure if I loved it at first, and had to come back to it. However, it started a love affair with the crazy. The Princess Bride, Good Omens, Xanth novels. Yet, this one is my favorite. I am not sure why, kind of like how The Holy Grail ended up as one of my favorite movies. Makes no sense, I know, but it is.
So much has made it into my lexicon. So long, and thanks for all the fish, 42, babelfish, and others. If you think it is not out there, try searching in Google “what is the answer to life the universe and everything” and see what the answer is. It is just a fun filled oddity. and my favorite of that nut filled genre.
