I was pretty sure rereading this classic would mess with my fond memories of the early '80s and how much I loved this book back then. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I may not have the existential angst of my 20-year-old self anymore, but I’ve picked up a few things along the way. Things like perspective, experience, and a smarter sense of humor.

Funny enough, a lot of what I found humorous this time around probably went right over my head when I first read it. But even now, I still relate to Arthur Dent—just an average guy trying to make sense of the universe and all its ridiculousness.

Seems I needed a reminder: Don’t Panic, always know where your towel is, and keep searching for the question to the Ultimate Answer.

Umm What? Did I miss a plot? Or a conclusion? Or anything connecting things?

I did like the depressive robot.

It was too nonsensical and zany for me. It just felt like it was trying too hard and I never felt like I was connecting to the characters.
