DID NOT FINISH: 26%

Read HHGTTG but prefer the ABs so unhauling
adventurous funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

Such a classic - I only reread the first book this go-round, but reading the companion book, "Don't Panic," by Neil Gaiman made me want to go back through all the books. As much as I love the book, I probably spent even more time as a kid playing the Infocom game it inspired.

Oh, it's been so long! The whale and the pot of petunias is a favourite moment; Ford Prefect and his towel. It was eye-opening for young me to come across humour like this.
