  1. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was 3/5. There were lots of funny parts, but there were also a lot of rambling parts that my eyes read, but my brain did not take in any of the information. That might have been the point though…
  2. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was 3/5. I was laughing out loud at a lot of the absurdity, but I was also not soaking in every single thing being said. Plot-wise, I only really paid attention to the major points. It was more difficult to follow the small points connecting the more major ones. It’s really just a book that I was along for the ride during.
  3. Life, The Universe and Everything was 2.5/5. I have no clue what I just read, but I read it and I laughed here and there. There were many times when I accidentally reread paragraphs and didn’t even realize that I had already read it until I got to the end of the page. 
  4. So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish was 2.5/5. I don’t really know what happened. There were dolphins and a fake Earth (maybe, idk) and a giant robot. I audiobooked this one, and definitely had no clue where we were sometimes. 
  5. Mostly Harmless was 3.25/5. The storyline was much easier to follow and I like how everything eventually came together. The ending was not my favorite, but it makes sense for the tone of the series.
