Summary: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Comment: I've read many books in my day, mostly for my own pleasure but never until now have I read a book that made me laugh out loud. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is a story about Arthur Dent, his friend Ford Prefect, and their adventures in outer space. Ford Prefect, an alien from the planet Betelgeuse V was on earth, in disguise to complete research. Ford is a reporter for the encyclopedia known as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This guide is a giant encyclopedia stored in a small computer that contains important information for intergalactic hitchhikers. When Ford discovers that the Earth will soon be destroyed, he alerts his friend Arthur Dent. Ford urges Arthur to leave Earth with him and they soon hitch a ride on a Vogon spaceship. But as Arthur soon finds out, Vogon's aren't friendly beings, and the captain of the ship wasn't to happy they came aboard. The Vogons tortured the two with horrible poetry and then dumped them into space. Now according to the Hitchhiker's Guide, a person can hold his breath in space for 30 seconds before he dies. 29 seconds later Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent were recued from space. They now found themselves on a ship called the Heart of Gold with the president of the universe, Zaphod Beeblebrox and his friend Trillian. Douglas Adams is a comedic genius and does a wonderful job of satirizing the human race. Humans are considered to be primitive, the third smartest species on Earth, and Earth is considered "mostly harmless". Unlike many books I have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy kept me interested and wanting to read more. I definitely recommend this book and I will most likely begin reading the other books in this series. If you enjoy science fiction books and have a good sense of humor, you would definitely enjoy this book.

Summary: Zarking Awesome!
Comment: This book is absolutely marvelous! It's funnier than 'The Scarlet Letter'! It's longer than 'Chicken Little'! It's less poetic than 'Green Eggs and Ham'! And above all, it doesn't have near as many Greeks in it, well, anything by Homer, for instance. It is an incredible book. Based on the BBC radio series of the same name, this book follows the adventures of one Arthur Dent who, after discovering that his home and his planet are about to be destroyed to make room for highways, helps an odd humanoid from Betelgeuse name Ford Prfect write a book.
This book, I swear to God, had me convulsing and near throwing up, I was laughing so hard. It's just freaking funny!!!! It even made my grandpa laugh, and he's Amish, illiterate, and dead. I have honestly never read or heard of a funnier book than HHGG, and the reason behind that is probably because such a thing does not exist.
So, read this book. If you can't read, have someone read it out loud to you. If you don't have any friends who will read it to you, buy the book on tape. If you can't afford the book on tape, for heaven's sake sell your computer and buy it. If you're computer's an old Commadore and even when you sell it, you still don't have enough money, sell your semen to a sperm bank and move to distant planet where you can prepare sandwiches until a long lost friend shows up with your child she created using your sperm that she found at some distant sperm bank! I don't care how you do it! Go get this book!
