Reading Challenge: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

So... a little over three months ago, I proposed a Reading Challenge for myself, and just yesterday I was able to cross off the first book from my list. (No, it didn't take me three months to read that book... I read it in pretty much three chunks over a span of a week and a half.)

Book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Verdict: Quick entertaining read... and totally hysterical. I don't know if I'm supposed to find it as funny as I did, or if it's just that it is fairly easy to make me laugh, but I actually laughed aloud at some parts.

Also, people, did you know this is the first in a series of books? That is totally not fair! Now, in addition to the other 99 books in the list, I want to read the rest of this series! Plus, I got a couple of books for Christmas that I want to get to, although I'll probably take a couple of them along as beach reads.

Next up on the Reading Challenge: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.



Comments:

Yup, and many of the sequels are just as good though Hitchhiker's Guide is my fave. I hear opinion on the movie is sharply divided but I haven't seen it yet.

Read the Kesey a long time ago-Nurse Ratchett...ahhh.

I've never read Kesey. I supposed I should correct that. Let me know what you think.

Monkey -- for some reason I am not getting emails when you comment! Argh! What is up with that? Anyway, I don't plan on seeing the movie... after reading the book, I can't imagine how any movie could do it justice.

I saw the movie of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest many years ago, but I don't remember much. I'm really looking forward to the book though.
